My Alleged Husband-Chapter 1499 - 1293: Who Did You Give Your Beauty To?

I always thought my wife was the most in the world. I always believed she gave all her love to others. Only now do I realize she actually gave all her love to me. Those loves are something I can never let disappear in this lifetime.

Zhang Zhentian heard these words from her daughter-in-law, and only then did she realize that what she had done over the years was not worthy of forgiveness. Everything she did had left no qualification for her family to forgive her for having abandoned them, causing them pain, and disregarding the interests of the entire family, only to pursue her own happiness and freedom as she soared in the sky. Yet, she eventually fell the harder the higher she climbed, and ultimately found herself with no way out, returning to this home.

"Zhihan, I know you’ve always held opinions against me regarding this matter, but there are some things I still hope to clarify with you. I’m truly not the heartless and unscrupulous person as said. I also know that everyone in this household has needed me these years when I chose to evade the responsibilities one should undertake.

It’s quite normal for you to have opinions about me, but did you know? The day I chose to return home, when I mustered up the courage to bow my head and admit my mistakes to everyone, proved that deep inside, I genuinely wanted to return to this family. I couldn’t bear to see everyone follow me and get hurt. I wanted to come back to see my son. I wanted to live openly and uprightly in this home. I wanted everyone outside to know that I am not a rebellious person. I also hope someday that everyone in the family could understand me, support me, and not keep counting the mistakes I’ve made. Those mistakes are like a sharp knife in my heart at all times, making it unbearable to breathe.

No one can understand the excitement and joy of a father who, after so many years, finally returns to his home. Can you know? How much I’ve wished one day to return here, and now that I’ve been granted my wish and come back home. Some choose to forgive me, while others still hold prejudice against me. I know these prejudices can’t be wiped away with just a few words. I also know the hurt I’ve caused you over the years is unavoidable. But do you know? I also want to live happily. I want each of you to know that I sincerely want to make amends!

I am very clear deep down that the harm I’ve brought to you is inexorable. I will do my best to compensate each of you, to be good to you, and let everyone in this household live relaxed, happy, and joyful lives, as long as you are willing to give me this chance!"

Ran Zhihan was just standing up for her husband, but she didn’t expect her father to humble himself so much to his junior. Deep inside, she felt a bit embarrassed and awkward, wondering if her actions had caused everyone to misunderstand her good intentions. All she wanted was for them to truly recognize how reliant her husband is on them, hoping they would come back and truly cherish him, not easily abandon family members like before, as that would be painful for everyone!

"Dad, this is my fault. I shouldn’t have been so selfish, nor should I have said those words to you. I hope you can understand my intentions as a wife. I also can’t bear to see my husband in such sorrow. He has lived so hard, saving all his pain time and again so that his family can live happily and joyously. Such a good man, how could I bear to see him harmed?

No one over the years knows how much hardship he’s endured alone. What you consider knowledge is mostly gathered from others or your own investigations, and those results are rarely true. The only true result is what I’ve seen with my own eyes—him overcoming all the difficulties and step by step creating such brilliance. His brilliant life has attracted the envy and jealousy of many, inciting them to betray him and set traps. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

But he has never given up; he still persists because he believes that as long as he continues, one day he will live happily. He doesn’t want to become passive one day; all he desires is a peaceful heart. He just wants his family to be happy. Over these years, he has never abandoned any family member.

There’s really no difference between people. The biggest difference between you and him is that to protect his family, he has borne all the suffering and hardship on his own!

But you chose to abandon your entire world to gain your freedom. To you, familial bonds mean little, but to him, they’re everything.

Maybe that’s the difference—no one can truly know what others feel deep inside, nor can anyone discern your true purpose deep down. Only you fully understand your emotions.

I envy the tacit understanding between you as a couple. That kind of understanding is impenetrable, and no one else can perceive it. But the one thing I don’t envy about you is that my husband is stronger than you. He has never thought of abandoning us, regardless of whether he loves me or the family a little more in his heart; at least in his eyes, familial bonds surpass everything. He can do without money, freedom, and his own happiness, but he can’t forsake his family!

Dad, I am not criticizing you; I just want you to understand that what you abandoned was not just your family but all familial ties. I’ve been thinking a lot these few days. No matter what, you’re still our parents, and we can’t keep you out forever. I genuinely welcome you back to this family as a member. I hope our big family will grow better and better, living happily ever after, and stop dwelling on past sorrowful events.

Dad and Mom, there’s no need for self-reproach. Some things are past, and no one should bring them up again. Today, we’ve laid everything out here. In the future, just living in peace is enough. Clinging to the past never brings happiness for anyone, right?"

"Child, you’re right, but we have done so many wrong things; how could we truly not feel it was in vain? We have souls and never wanted to hurt our family, yet our actions have caused you such sorrow!"

Don’t abandon everything as you did before for others’ sake. That might have been what you understood, but others would never think like that. They just see you as a fool.
