Chapter 414 - Reassurance (2/2)

”So, something really happened. What did you do?” While he was scowling, she kept going on, ”Even if she had done something, you could have looked over it for a while. After all, it was a very happy day for her but you just had to spoil it for her.”

”Mom, I really think you shouldn't get involved in this matter,” he was trying hard to stay calm. He had always been calm, to begin with. But why was everyone trying to challenge his bottom-line these days?

”Jie,” her voice softened a bit. ”It's not just between you and your wife. Xiao Mey is a part of our family and this is a family matter.” She sighed heavily. ”You both love each other so much. Why do you have to behave like this?”

That was it. She finally managed to tumble down his wall of patience.

”Family matter?” he scoffed. ”Mom, it's a family matter indeed. But the intruder in this is you right now.”

”Jie, don't be rude. I'm trying to fix everything between you both.”

”You don't even know what happened and here you are giving me a lecture. Why don't you go and ask her first what happened? You're not fixing anything. You're only making it worse!”

”I don't want to hurt her even more than she already is by asking her about it.”

”Oh, so you came to hurt your son?” He was feeling suffocated now. ”You just said that we both love each other and we should solve it. I agree. But where is she? Why isn't she here to solve it? Because I'm certainly not the one running from this problem! She is!” He Susu was left speechless as he continued, ”Staying in a relationship JUST because you LOVE someone isn't worth it anymore.”

Her eyes widened at his words. What did he mean by that?

”Love IS NOT all you NEED! Respect is what you need! Time is what you need! Reassurance is what you need! Happiness is what you need! A best friend is what you need!” His heart was aching badly now as he finally said those words out. ”All I have is the love of hers. And I don't even get a reassurance now whether she loves me or not. Because she certainly doesn't act like it.”

”Jie...”

Jie held out his hand to stop her. ”Don't! I have had enough now! If she wants to act like a child then so be it! Why do I always have to try to keep the balance in this relationship? We are husband and wife, it's not just my job to make this all work out between us. She also has to put some effort into this. Which she clearly doesn't want to!”

Saying that he shoved past his mother and left the house. He knew this was gonna happen. That's why he always avoided arguments with Xu Mey since he knew every single person was gonna take her side. And also, nothing could stay a secret in this big family so how could he escape from the wrath of everyone.

He could tell his mother was only the first person who came to him, others were also gonna follow. But to be honest, after saying all that to his mother, he had come to clear up a lot of complicated feelings in his heart. He finally saw his and Xu Mey's relationship in a new light.

He was always willing to fight for their love, now it was her turn. It was time to see whether Xu Mey also thought like that or not.
