Chapter 1157 Enemy Of Your Love
"I have to see Uncle Zhao," said Raelle to Shui Xian in the elevator. "So, I'll go to his penthouse. If I waited for him to come out, I'd have to waste half a day of mine."
"Yes, and time is very precious."
"It is. Don't I have to spend that time with my husband?"
Shui Xian was speechless and pursed his lips to hide his smile. He touched her head, "Then you go to look for him and I'm going to our room to pack our things."
"Okay," agreed Raelle readily.
And that's why Shui Xian got down from the elevator on the floor where they stayed last night. It wasn't that he didn't trust others but he still wanted to go and pack their things. After all, there was a very important engagement gift placed in the room.
He went back to the presidential suite and opened the door. Stepping inside, he looked around reminiscing the moments from last night before shaking his head. If he continued to indulge in those memories, he can forget about getting anything done today.
As he picked up his suit jacket from the sofa, he paused as he recalled something. He touched the pocket of the coat and took out the envelope from inside.
He stared at the envelope that he received from his mother's lawyer last night but he didn't read it last night because he knew he wouldn't be able to go through the night if he really opened this letter.
But now, he couldn't avoid it.
He couldn't possibly keep this letter sealer for good. He was actually looking forward to what was written in this letter that his mother left for him. But at the same time, he was a little fearful too.
He sat down on the sofa to calm himself down first.
Only after calming his emotions did he open the envelope and took out the letter slowly. He unfolded the letter paper slowly.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, he was a bit dazed. He breathed out of his mouth and started reading the letter...
'My dearest son, Xian,
This is your mother's hello from the afterlife. If this letter is opened, then I'm obviously not there. So, you can consider this a hello from me.
I think I have a lot to say to you. So, be patient with your mother. Don't get impatient like you always do. I'm not even there. I hope you have enough patience for your mother's 'nagging' now.'
Just these few sentences and Shui Xian felt like he couldn't go on. He felt like his mother was stabbing his heart with a knife through her words. They were filled with sarcasm but he couldn't refute 'I know you think your mother is a weirdo and very eccentric. After all, this mother always wanted to control your life. You must hate them. He was the one who really got impatient with her. Especially, after he went to high school.
He never had time for her. Because he thought she was always trying to nag him. He believed that his mother was just against him in everything in those years.
He really wanted to tell her that he had patience. He had a lot of patience now. But what was the point when she wasn't there anymore?
He bit his lip to stop himself from crying and continued to read:
'I know you think your mother is a weirdo and very eccentric. After all, this mother always wanted to control your life. You must hate me for that, I can understand it very well. I mean I know the feeling. I had the same feelings towards my own parents back then. How could I not understand it?
I am not sure if you learned about my failed love. The chances are that you don't know since your father will never speak a word of it. Ah-Shing is a weird man. In all these years of our marriage, not even once did he say a word about the atrocities I had done in my youth.
Just like you, I also had someone I loved all my life. I went against everyone to get him. But what was the point? I had to pay a very heavy price for that love.
So, when I first held you in my arms, I didn't want you to go through any of the things that I had to go through. Do you know why parents work so hard in their life? They don't just want to provide their kids with a better life. Actually, parents take all the risks in life so that they can pave the way for their kids. They face the failures so that they can lead their kids better and make sure that their kids could avoid the same failures as they did.
My case wasn't all that different either. I didn't want you to have a failed love like mine. It hurts. I know it does. How can I want my son to go through that pain which I had to face?
You must be thinking again that I'm whimsical.
You told me that I was imposing my decisions on you. I had no right to stop you from loving someone.
You're right. I really had no right to stop you from loving her. The thing is, I think by doing it, I might have activated your rebellion. The more I stopped you, the more you wanted to do it. It doesn't matter.
But as they say, you can't stop feeling. Especially, a feeling like love that works like a charm and bewitches you. I have never doubted your feelings for Tang Hebe or hers for you. But I learned from experience that feelings aren't the only thing needed in life. Because over time, you find that life needs a lot more than just love.
You told me that I'm not clairvoyant. I can't possibly know that your and Tang Hebe's love will have a bad ending. But the thing is, something like that doesn't need me to be a clairvoyant to know at all. You never understood my point because you looked at me as the enemy of your love.'
