Chapter 75 - abandon your wife and your child (2/2)

She laughs derisively. There is hidden pain in her voice. ”Li Jun, let me tell you this. If you want me as your woman, then abandon your wife and your child. I will stay with you then.”

He clenches his fists. His expression turns dark. He can't change the past. He can't abandon Wu Qiuyue or go back in time to stop his marriage with his dead wife. He loves his son, Li Hua. That fact can't change either. He promised his dead wife that the position of the main wife would always belong to her and he would take care of Li Hua and Wu Qiuyue.

Even if he didn't make those promises, he couldn't abandon Wu Qiuyue or Li Hua. Both of them are his responsibility.

She smiles at him lightly. ”If you can't do that, why do you selfishly ask me to abandon my beliefs and become your woman.”

The timekeeper is afraid of Li Jun catching feelings for me. I have realized that I am also afraid of the same outcome. In the original timeline, Li Jun used his achievements to get an emperor decree to marry a woman he met on a battleground. When we met, he was already in love with me because of Kang Si An's memories.

This Li Jun doesn't know either what he feels for me. Maybe it's curiosity. He can't be in love with me yet. What reason is there for him to love me? People can't just feel undying love for others after meeting a few times.

My life is a bitter fairytale.

I feel like a sick person for asking him to abandon Wu Qiuyue and his son. I did it to make him realize what he is asking from me.

”I can't abandon them,” He answers me with a calm voice.

I give him a nod. If he abandoned them, I wouldn't like him anymore. ”Release me.”

He stares down at me. ”I can't let you go either.”

Did the time-turn affect his IQ? Why can't he understand me? I can't stay.

”You are the woman I have chosen for myself.” He cups my face with his large and rough hands. ”I promise that you will be the only woman who will share my bed and occupy my heart from now on. You will stay with me for the rest of your life.”
