Chapter 15 — Three Years After Divorce, He Found Out He Had Two Children

Khuong Tri Y burst out laughing. A sarcastic smile.

“She gave me five million yuan.”

“In exchange for two children.”

“You agree?”

“What do you think?”

Her eyes were cold as ice.

“I said impossible.”

“Then she scolded me.”

“Call me insatiable greed.”

“Tell me to treat my children as money trees.”

“I'll go talk to her.”

“What are we talking about?”

“Did you talk to her three years ago?”

“I never have.”

“I just keep quiet.”

“This time is different.”

“Not the same anywhere?”

Khuong Tri Y stood up.

“Tham Nghien Thanh.”

“You tell me.”

“Not the same anywhere?”

“Because I love you.”

She was stunned.

“Because I love you.”

He repeated it again.

“So I won't let you suffer any more pain.”

“Whoever it is.”

“I can't hurt you ever again.”

Khuong Tri Y looked at him. Tears fell again.

“You lied.”

“I'm not lying.”

“Then why didn't you say that three years ago?”

“Because you are a coward.”

Tham Nghien Thanh stepped forward. Take her hand.

“But I don't want to continue being a coward.”

She didn't shake his hand away. But still don't hold back. Just stand still like that. Let him hold my hand. Tears drop by drop. Falling onto the back of his hand. He said softly.

“Give me a chance.”

“Not for the children.”

“But for us.”

“I don't know…”

She shook her head.

“I don't know if I can still trust you.”

“I will prove it to you.”

“Prove how?”

Tham Nghien Thanh was silent for a moment. Then take out your phone. Right in front of her. He called his mother. Turn on speakerphone.

“Tham Nghien Thanh?”

“Where are you?”

“I live in Xi'an.”

“Are you here too?”

“That's great, quickly take the children home…”

Tham Nghien Thanh interrupted her.

“Mom, listen to me.”

“Khuong Tri Y is my ex-wife.”

“The children are mine and hers.”

“I have no right to rob them.”

“There's no right to insult her either.”

“What did you say?”

“Mom, listen carefully.”

“If mom continues to bother her.”

“I will break off relations with my mother.”

The other end of the line was silent for a long time.

“Are you crazy?”

Tham Ngoc Cam's voice became harsher.

“Because of a woman, you want to break up with me?”

“Not because of her.”

“It's because of me.”

Tham Nghien Thanh said calmly.

“Three years ago you failed to protect her.”

“It was my fault.”

“Now I can't be wrong again.”

“Tham Nghien Thanh!”

“What you just said is true.”

"If mom still comes to find Khuong Tri Y to cause trouble."

“I will let the lawyer send you a warning letter.”

"I don't expect to see you guys in the future."

“So mom, just try it.”

“Let's see if you dare or not.”

He immediately hung up. Then looked towards Khuong Tri Y.

“Is that okay?”

Khuong Tri Y looked at him. Tears were still rolling down my cheeks. But the eyes are different. No more despair. It's surprising. Khuong Tri Y never thought of it. One day, Tham Nghien Thanh will turn against his mother because of her.

“Did you really do that?”

“You don't regret it?”

“No regrets.”

She withdrew her hand from his. Go to the window. Turn your back to him. Shoulders kept shaking. The cry finally became audible. Tham Nghien Thanh stepped forward. Hug her from behind.

“Stop crying.”

“I'm not crying.”

She stubbornly said.

“So shoulder What are you shaking?”

He laughed. The embrace tightened.

“Khuong Tri Y.”

“Let's start again.”

She did not answer. But didn't break out. Just quietly let him hug you like that. Cry for a long time. The sunlight shines through the window. Covering two people. Two shadows overlap each other. It's like we've never been apart. After that day. Tham Nghien Thanh did not return to the city anymore. He rented an apartment in Xi'an. Right opposite Khuong Tri Y's apartment complex. Every morning at seven o'clock. Showed up at the breakfast restaurant on time. Eat with Khuong Tri Y's family. Then take the children to kindergarten. Then go to a remote working coffee shop. In the evening, I waited again in front of the school gate. Take the kids home. Phuong Huc looked at his series of actions. Extremely complex expressions.

“Are you really planning to stay permanently in Xi'an?”

“What about your company?”

“Work remotely.”

Phuong Huc sighed.

“You really are an extreme person.”

“Or don't care at all.”

“Or care too much.”

Tham Nghien Thanh did not answer. Continue to sit and do puzzles with Khuong Du.

“The castle you built is so ugly.”
