Haniya never thought that one day she would be stopped by her own son to see her husband.
She was stunned and then let out a hoarse roar.
"Anton, I'm your mother! How dare you do this to me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Anton looked at her with indifference in his eyes.
"Dad asked me to be filial to you. I can provide for you to eat and drink, for you to squander money. I don't even stop you from doing whatever you want. My life was given by you. If you want it, you can take it away at any time. But I won't let you disturb dad's peaceful rest. He is so unlucky to had fallen in love with you. Now that he is dead, he finally doesn't have to clean up the mess for you. Please spare him. He is dead. What else do you want?"
Anton threw Haniya on the floor, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Haniya was stunned by Anton's words.
"What did you say? What are you talking about? What do you mean by your father is dead? I've spoiled you so much that you don't know how to talk properly now?"
Haniya didn't care about Anton's sudden rudeness to her. She was completely panicked.
She just stabbed him in the shoulder. How could he die?
Nonsense!
Anton was talking nonsense!
He was scaring her.
Haniya kept comforting herself, but her body trembled. There was even a heart-wrenching pain in her heart. It began to be torn apart. She couldn't help curling up in pain. She hugged her body tightly, and tears fell down.
In her mind was what she looked like when she first saw Desmond.
At that time, Desmond was cold and aloof, not in contact with anyone. He was like an independent individual outside of the world, with the indifference of hiding from the world and watching all life and death in the world coldly.
At first glance, she fell in love with that man. In order to get that man, she was not afraid of hardships and chased after him shamelessly.
Finally, he became her husband and she had his child. She thought that they would be happy for the rest of their lives. But when did she start to be partial?
Haniya didn't know or remember, but her mind was full of Desmond's kindness to her.
After more than 20 years of marriage, no matter how tired Desmond was, he would always remember her birthday, their wedding date, and prepare soup for her during her period.
His kindness to her had long surpassed what she had done to him back then.
But why hadn't she noticed it all these years? She didn't know what Anton said today.
When she was excluded and wronged in the military region, she went home to complain and cry. Desmond always said that this was a must-have process in life. She would be fine if she could bear it.
At that time, what did she say and do?
She pointed at her nose and scolded Desmond for being a coward, saying that he was not a man. She blamed him for not standing up for her. She said that he had connection with the Ye family but did not use it to help her
But how could it be like this?
She suddenly realized that there was no peace and quiet in the world. It was just that someone was carrying the burden for her.
She was so blind that she didn't understand it until now.
"Take me to see your father! Anton, take me to see him!”
Haniya suddenly had a very bad feeling. If she didn't go now, she might not be able to go for the rest of her life.
"I told you, you don't deserve to see my dad!"
"It's between him and me. You can't decide! Anton, take me to see him!"
Haniya had not spoken to Anton like this for many years. At this time, there was a trace of madness and desperation in her eyes, which startled Anton.
"I..."
Before Anton could finish his words, Haniya got up and ran out.
