Chapter 1696 Not a Good Wife
When Mrs. Ning came home with their son in tow, Ning Haoyu was so happy. Yet, she had ignored him because he now had a child with another woman.
At this moment, Mrs. Ning felt like her heart was about to cripple from the pain.
Now that she thought about it, no matter what Old Master Ning said, did, or threatened to do, Ning Haoyu had been unwilling to give up their love. He was even willing to leave the Ning family and become an ordinary soldier from a rich family for her sake.
However, because of her damned self-esteem and her inability to withstand Old Master Ning’s taunts, she was afraid that Ning Haoyu would not be able to protect the two of them. Therefore, when she was three months pregnant, she finally reached a breaking point with Old Master Ning’s oppression and left Ning Haoyu.
She did not expect the man who she thought had betrayed their love to keep the promise they made when they first met, even after ten years.
When she recalled how she had mocked and ridiculed this man so much, Mrs. Ning felt that she was very laughable, sad, and pitiful.
Even many years after Ning Haoyu’s death, every time she thought about him, she would deliberately recall those times when he did not do well enough, encouraging herself to think of him less.
Even after hearing it from her son’s mouth, Mrs. Ning had a hard time accepting it. For a long moment, she cried her heart out and kept asking Ning Wenhao why he did not tell her immediately after finding out.
Ning Wenhao looked at his mother crying and did not stop her. It was not until his mother had cried enough that he said, “I wanted to tell you at first, but when I walked out of the room, Dad found me and knew that I heard everything, so he told me not to tell you.” Mrs. Ning cried and said, “So, you just listened to him? Even if you’d told me, would I ever expose the Ning family’s scandal?”
Ning Wenhao looked at his mother. He felt that although his mother was good to him and loved him with all her life, his mother was not worthy of his father. “Do you think my father didn’t want me to tell you because he was afraid that you’d find out about the Ning family’s scandal?” Mrs. Ning, “…”
“My father told me that his mission would be very dangerous. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to return, so he asked me not to tell you. He said that you were a sensitive and fragile person. If I told you about this, and he didn’t come back, you’d be very sad.”
Mrs. Ning stopped crying and looked at Ning Wenhao in a daze. For a moment, her eyes were a little unfocused.
“Mother, I know it hasn’t been easy to raise me on your own. I’ll always be your most filial son, but I’ve been hiding some things in my heart for many years now-things I’ve always wanted to tell you.
“You’re a good mother, but you weren’t a good wife, and you’re not a good woman. Take the love between you and my father as an example. My father always tried his best to love you, but your love for him was always second to your low self-esteem.
“You left my father back then for me, supposedly because you were afraid that my grandfather would harm me. But it was actually because you didn’t trust my father. At the same time, your inferiority complex was worsened by the old man’s treatment and manifested as extremely low self-esteem. You abandoned your love for these reasons. Think about it. If it were me, would you have left so easily? No matter how much the old man harmed you, you’d do everything in your power to stay with your son, right?”
