Chapter 2045: Chapter 1838: For Example
Is there really anything like "if"? Isn’t everything something you fight for yourself?
In the end, Xiao Wei couldn’t help but call and ask his brother-in-law. He felt that, no matter what, he should find Zhang Zhentian to get things clear. He wanted him to give him the most perfect answer. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease handing over his sister, letting her live under the same roof with him?
"Xiao Wei? What makes you think of calling your brother-in-law today? Is there something you need? Or why did you suddenly think of calling me just to check in?"
Are you looking for your sister for something? She’s not here right now, she’s busy. If it’s important, you can tell me, and I’ll pass on the message."
"Brother-in-law, I really shouldn’t be calling you about this matter. I just want the complete answer. I want you to tell me honestly whether you truly love my sister because I’m soon returning to the United States. If your heart indeed holds my sister, I’ll let her stay by your side and continue life with you. But if you don’t love her at all, wouldn’t leaving her here only harm her?
I believe deep down you know clearly that some things cannot be so easily pretended never to have happened. Your father might feel satisfied now that you’ve returned home, but if you err once more, would you be driven out again?
Can you truly ensure my sister’s stability at home? Can you truly guarantee that no matter what, you won’t be driven out again?
Or do you feel that sometimes being driven out is honorable, that after being expelled, you can roam the world aimlessly? Yet you forget that what a woman needs most is not how capable her man is, but a happy home he can provide. Over the years, what have you given my sister? You know better than anyone!
I trust that you understand why I’m asking you this today. After all, she is my sister. We have depended on each other for so many years, struggling to make it here. Life hasn’t been easy, but ever since she met you, she fell for you at first sight. Being with you, what did you make of her? Made her unable to return home, faced resentment again and again.
Brother-in-law, I hope you don’t tell my sister these words I said today. If she knows, it will only make things harder for her. What we need to do is to make her happy, isn’t that what’s most important to us?"
Zhang Zhentian knows well what his wife has endured over the years, even if she never speaks of it. Yet he senses her deep yearning to return home, to be with her child. He understands more than anyone else.
But after all, he allowed her to wander with him for years. She has longed for her child all this time, but all this pain and suffering is because of him. No one comprehends the depth of his guilt.
"Xiao Wei, I know you deeply care for your sister, but do you think I should hide these things from her? I don’t want to ruin things between you. I believe in honesty in my marriage, don’t you agree?
You know this better than anyone, if I hide things from your sister, and she finds out, how painful would that be for her? She would only believe that I, as her husband, don’t truly love her, which is why I hide things!"
I’m not afraid you’ll laugh, but I must admit I deeply love your sister. In all circumstances, I still feel my love for her strongly.
My love for your sister is unwavering, it won’t change because of anyone’s words. I want to prove my love through actions, to be with her genuinely, even if others try to stop it. No one can change my devotion to her.
Xiao Wei, sometimes you understand feelings better than me. To truly love someone means to protect them no matter the cost, to stay by their side despite the hurt they cause, to love them unchangingly. That’s true love. My love for your sister transcends this. To make her happy, I would give up everything. If life here makes her unhappy, if she feels wronged, I would take her far from this sadness, even if it means leaving behind my father, my son, my family!
Some may believe leaving years ago was my fault, that I shouldn’t have taken her away. But did anyone ever consider that she was the one wanting to leave after the child was born? It was for her that I resolutely left with her, yet why is it all deemed my fault? To protect her, I chose to bear all the blame. I want everyone to know my love for her is genuine, that no matter her mistakes, I’d rather take all the blame than let her suffer even a bit.
Yet what has this achieved but your repeated doubt in me? You don’t believe my sincerity of love. In your eyes, all my actions are just for show. But do you realize how much I care for her feelings? For her, I’ve sacrificed so much.
I understand you’re asking about this to truly help your sister, for her own good. I won’t blame you, nor will I tell her. But can we agree not to doubt each other in the future?
We are family, and wherever, whenever, I will prioritize your sister’s well-being, protect her from harm. That is how a man should ensure her happiness!"
The result after holding firm is truly what he desires, it’s what he deeply wants!
