Chapter 1490 All In Vain

• He dared not lie anymore, offering an apologetic smile as he said, “Ah... Just now... I might have been speaking from my own perspective, sharing some of my difficulties. Perhaps, in my son's eyes, he feels wronged as well. As you all know, it's often challenging for a stepmother and stepson to maintain a good relationship. Truth be told, my wife was really good to my son. However, my son always has the impression that a stepmother can never have good intentions. My son has some misunderstandings with my wife, and there's a deep divide between them. You may say there's a deep rift between the stepmother and the stepson, right? This should be their issue, isn't it? But my son is aloof and obstinate. Not only is his relationship with his stepmother strained, but he also directs his anger toward me, believing that I've failed in my duties as a father. However, all of these are his misconceptions. He's my own flesh and blood, my only son. How can I possibly not love him? Don't you agree? In my heart, he's more important to me than my own life. Yet, this paternal love, as solid as a mountain... I struggle to express myself. Over time, this led to a growing misunderstanding between us as father and son. However, I implore you to believe me. I love him deeply, truly. I do. I fervently wish that we can have a relationship like any other father and son - filled with paternal affection and filial piety, living harmoniously together.”
