She had said only those few words, yet the emotions that she had been suppressing for the past month suddenly erupted .
All of a sudden, she could not help but lift her hands to cover her eyes . Thereafter, she squatted on the floor and sobbed .
She’d said only those few words .
I’m very angry . I’m very hurt . I’m very upset .
Those three simple sentences could not express how much she was suffering .
She did not say it out loud, but he knew .
Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed slightly . Watching the woman in front of him squat down and cry so much, he could feel a throbbing pain in his chest, as if his heart was being torn into shreds . He could not help but bend down and press down on his heart forcefully .
He really wished he could forgo everything and pull her into his embrace and console her . Even if the earth were to come crashing down on them tomorrow, he didn’t care anymore .
But… he couldn’t .
They were no longer two people . They had children now . For the sake of their children’s safety, he needed to make the cruelest decision .
As he stood there, the scenery behind him seemed to lose its vibrancy . All the colors were concentrated on him alone .
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head . Since she could not see the emotions on his face, he allowed himself to stare at her with the world’s most loving gaze .
After an unknown period of time, Zhuang Nainai finally finished crying .
Sobbing spasmodically, she looked up, only to see him standing in his original position . He didn’t even approach her .
The bright moon outside the window shone on him coolly .
Only the two of them were left in the room, but he was adamant about his choice .
As Zhuang Nainai thought of this, she could not help but smile in self-mockery . Wiping her tears away, she stood up slowly .
Her eyes were swollen from crying . Tears continued to flow out of her eyes . Hence, she used her sleeves to wipe away the tears haphazardly . Then, she raised her head again . However, the moment she raised her head, tears ran down her face again like a broken tap that could not stop flowing .
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips and let her tears run freely before she spoke to Si Zhengting slowly . Choked with tears, she said sporadically, “Si Zhengting, my mother is dead .
“Do you know how depressed and upset I was when I heard this news?
“You are my only kin in this world now .
“Are you still going to… treat me like this?
God knows how she’d pulled through this month . How many depressing episodes could one go through in the span of a lifetime?
There could only be three scenarios: the death of parents, marital strife, and a broken family .
She experienced these three depressing scenarios all at once .
This was the kind of pain that no one could understand unless they went through it .
After she had woken up in the apartment, she did not have her family and her lover . Her friends could not fill up their important presence in her life .
Looking at Si Zhengting, she said slowly, “Si Zhengting, I know you have your reasons for doing this . You must be thinking that the decision you have made is right . ”
After saying this, she could not help but purse her lips and sniffle before continuing, “The reason I’m here is because I want to ask you about two things . Firstly, what exactly are you hiding? What exactly are you doing? Why did things turn out like this between us?
“But now, I don’t want to ask anymore . I know that you won’t answer my questions even if I ask . You would only find excuses and say hurtful things to me . I just want to ask you one thing . How are the children? Do you know… how much I miss them…?”
