Chapter 343 - Because of you. (2/2)
”Are you sure we are still bound together? Because as far as I can see, you have nothing to do with me anymore. After Yiny's divorce, we have lived separately for years, and even now if we are together, we are just two people sharing the same roof and nothing more. So why shall I not move on in life and stay with you? Give me one good reason.”
Si Han looked at Suyin. ”You have to do this yourself, mom. Dad isn't wrong either. Tell him what you have said to me just now.”
”NO!” Si Han warned. She stared back at her husband. ”We aren't divorced yet. This marriage is illegal.”
”It's not. When you refused to sign the divorce papers, I appealed to the court and provided evidence that we are living separately for seven years. They have granted me to dissolve our marriage.” He showed the papers which didn't interest anyone. Whatever he said was true.
Stream of tears rolled down Si Han's eyes. ”W-we have kids.”
”And they are old enough to understand this and let their father marry someone. Someone who can be his companion in old age. Am I not allowed, Yiny? Or are the rights exclusive to women?”
Suyin was speechless. She turned to her mother and shook her shoulder. ”Just tell him you love him. Why torment yourself with all this? Tell him how much you love him and want to be with him.”
”Oh, so you love me?” Zhao Shu descended the stairs and came to stand facing his wife. ”Then how about you replace the bride at the altar and we marry once again? I'm still willing to start a new with you.”
Excitement stirred in Suyin's eyes. ”You and mom together! It's the most beautiful thing I have heard. What else could I wish for? Mom--” she saw her mother standing speechless. ”Mom? Say something.”
”She won't, Yiny.”
”Why?” Suyin asked.
”Because of you.”
”SHU!” Si Han yelled. ”It has nothing to do with her.”
”Swear on her and repeat what you said just now.” he lifted his wife's hand and put it on Suyin's head. ”Swear it.”
Si Han yanked her hand down.
Her mother's action twisted in Suyin's heart. She knew whatever her father was saying wasn't a lie. ”Dad, tell me. How am I keeping you two away from each other?”
”You are not, sweetie. Don't pay attention.”
Suyin ignored her mother and kept her gaze on her father. But he didn't say a word.
”Sorry, Suyin, they know everything,” James said. Suyin looked at him, her brows meeting. ”They know what Qi Wren did to you. Mom knew it from the beginning. She's a woman and your mother. Didn't she accompany you throughout your delivery? She caught you during that time, but never let you know about it.”
But.... that also became the reason for the tiff between her parents?
