Chapter 146 - Secrets and Affairs (2/2)

Su Cha hummed.

”Even though this marriage was a business marriage I tried to make it work. I really did. But you made it so difficult. Also, the shadows of the past kept haunting me.”

Mr. Ying looked at the woman he had been married to for years. Even though they have been married for more than twenty years he never loved her.

For him,she was the devil who separated him from his love. And for her, he was the monster who shattered her perfect life.

”I thought you hated me. That's why I was never around. I thought you needed space, seeing me would remind you of that night…”

Mr. Ying trailed off.

”That's why you don't like Ying Sheng right? Seeing her remind you of that night. Of that disgrace. ” He continued.

”Yes, I hate her! She was a product of my biggest nightmare what makes you think I can love her? I tried when she was a child. I tried to be a mother to her but I can't.”

Su Cha roughly wiped the tears that was trailing on her cheeks.

”You know...when she was a kid. I-I tried to kill her. As long as she was no more I wouldn't be reminded of that night. Her existence is the clear proof of my misery!”

Mr. Ying felt like someone was pulling the string of his heart. He never thought he has caused so many people pain. When did he become such a monster?

”I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken you out that night. It's all my fault. We were once best friends but I messed it up didn't I?”

Su Cha looked away as tears run down her cheeks.

”You can hate me but you can't hurt Ying Sheng. She is innocent in all of this.  Do you know she tried to kill herself?”

Mr. Ying said as he swallowed the lump in his throat.

Su Cha widened her eyes, ”What are you talking about? Why? I thought she was…”

Mr. Ying shook his head, ”I know. We haven't been the best of parents. We have ruined our daughter.”

Silence fell between them.

”I know you have met him. You have always loved him, haven't you?” Mr. Ying finally spoke breaking the silence.

Su Cha avoided his eyes and nodded.

”Hmm. Let's divorce. Being together we are going to continue to hurt each other.  This marriage was doom to end from the beginning. The moment…”

Mr. Ying shoulders slumped. ”I'm sorry Susu. I never meant to hurt you. I thought being Mrs. Ying was enough but I guess I was wrong.”

Su Cha looked at the man who she has been married to. They were once best friends but one night ruined everything.

”Ying Sheng…..what are we going to tell her? Do you think she hates me? I tried to be a mother to her but….I failed her.”

Mr. Ying forced a smile, ”I don't know. But I hope she understands. We would make this work.

Suddenly Su Cha face paled, ”My father, he would never allow me to be with him or agree on this divorce.”

Mr. Ying nodded, ” We will keep it a secret for now. First, we need to find a way to make it up to our daughter. I know it's difficult but she is your daughter after all.”

Su Cha nodded. Even though she hates Ying Sheng, she doesn't want her to die. Ying Sheng is her daughter after all.
