235 Sincerity

Mrs. Chen didn’t waste any time. She asked her friend to book a ticket back to the mainland and would leave the next day.

She still had some money on her. Even if she didn’t have a place to stay, she didn’t need to sleep on the streets.

In fact, she had not unpacked her luggage yet. Now that she had to go back, it was more convenient and she did not need to pack up.

Thinking about returning to the mainland, she thought of the Art Gallery. The days seemed to be the same as before, gentle as flowing water.

!!
Mrs. Chen felt relieved and couldn’t help but smile.

It wasn’t her own plan to marry and move to Taiwan. At that time, she was still a graduate student in the local Arts Department, and she and Mr. Chen were just ordinary lovers. The two of them met in the gallery and seemed to be fated to be together. Their relationship developed rapidly and they met their parents three months later.

However, her mother saw her boyfriend was so rich, so she wanted to match the two of them together. The first time she met Mr. Chen’s parents, her mother stared at Mr. Chen for a long time without closing her mouth.

Mr. Chen’s outfit was out of place with Mrs. Chen’s family.

Her mother didn’t know the luxury brands in Mr. Chen’s clothes. She only knew that Mr. Chen looked extraordinary and was dressed in style. During that meal, she picked up food with her chopsticks and smiled apologetically, as if she was afraid her daughter would not be able to marry him.

However, her father didn’t agree. He felt the age difference between the two was too big. Moreover, Mr. Chen’s company was doing so well that he was probably someone who dealt with alcohol. His intuition told him that this handsome Mr. Chen was not an honest person.

Her father was afraid she would suffer losses and was also afraid she would get hurt. Who knew that after her mother said a few more words, he would finally agree?

Mrs. Chen’s family wasn’t very well-off. Seeing her mother was so realistic, she couldn’t disobey her mother. In addition, Mr. Chen treated her with a kind of gentleness and thoughtfulness that was close to that of an experienced man. She felt she would never find such a good man in this world again. Therefore, when Mr. Chen proposed, she immediately agreed. Even though she was already tired of Mr. Chen’s endless social interactions, she still chose to obey, endure, and wait.

However, after she got married, Mrs. Chen found out her husband had a daughter.

When they were dating, Mr. Chen’s daughter had been staying in a boarding school. Mr. Chen had never mentioned it, so Mrs. Chen had no idea.

When it came to their wedding and her daughter appeared at the banquet without even looking at Mrs. Chen, she realized that she didn’t know her husband at all.

Looking at herself now, Mrs. Chen only felt that it was funny.

She was too naive, just like a little white rabbit lured by a carrot.

What growing old together, what hundred years of happiness, they were just as fragile and short-lived as plastic flowers.

“Madam!” Mr. Chen shouted from the bedroom, “My shoulders are so sore.”

In fact, he had already recovered very well these few days. Although he could not walk, his face was rounder and even looked better than before he fell sick.

Mrs. Chen, on the other hand, had become thinner.

In order to take care of him, she had not done yoga for many days and had not eaten well for many days.

Mrs. Chen fell silent.

The nanny could totally do these things. However, he insisted on going there by himself, as if he had always treated her as one of the nannies.

“Madam!” Seeing that she didn’t respond, Mr. Chen’s tone became much gentler.

Mrs. Chen stood up. When she walked to Mr. Chen, he held her hand gently and looked at her frivolously. “Can you help me massage my shoulders?” In fact, he was still supporting his body with one hand and did not look like a patient at all.

Mrs. Chen felt nauseated. She turned around to leave, but Mr. Chen pulled her back.

“I heard it. You want to bring your son back to the mainland.” Mr. Chen’s expression didn’t change at all. He was even smiling. “What’s wrong? you don’t like me when I’m sick?”

Mrs. Chen struggled to get up, but Mr. Chen was so strong she couldn’t move.

“What does my return to the mainland have to do with you?” Mrs. Chen’s eyes were cold, but when she looked at Mr. Chen, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

All these years, he was the one who she loved and hated.

However, she only recognized the man in front of her now.

“It’s definitely my fault. You’re my beloved wife, and now you’re taking my precious son away. How is it not my business?” Mr. Chen’s tone was unhurried. He was not in a hurry at all.

Mrs. Chen had had enough of his slow speech. She broke free from his arms, her hair messy. “Chen Kuan, you have never been sincere to me, have you?”
