Ye Wanwan was buried three days later, and after the funeral, Shen Yi returned ho with Shen Wenzhou, both of them sitting on the living room sofa with expressionless faces.
After a long while, Shen Yi suddenly called the servant over and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did she say anything before she left?"
The servant looked troubled but still shook his head honestly.
Ye Wanwan’s departure was very sudden; nobody knew that in her last mont of life, there was nobody by her side, and she left this world silently and alone.
Shen Yi suddenly felt a wrenching pain in his heart; he couldn’t imagine death, let alone what Ye Wanwan felt in the face of death.
Was she scared? Or did she feel finally relieved?
Shen Yi didn’t understand; they clearly shouldn’t have ended up like this. Why had they beco what they were now?
However, this question had beco aningless; Ye Wanwan was no longer here, his wife had passed away.
Shen Wenzhou, sitting beside him, had kept his head lowered, silently shedding tears. By the ti Shen Yi heard the sound and ca back to his senses, Shen Wenzhou was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"Zhouzhou," Shen Yi called out with difficulty.
Shen Wenzhou lifted his head to look at his father, his vision blurred by tears. After a long mont, Shen Wenzhou managed to choke out the words, "I’m sorry."
Shen Yi was sowhat bewildered, not sure why he would say such a thing, but he soon learned the answer from Shen Wenzhou’s lips.
Shen Wenzhou said with great sorrow, "That night she called ; she wanted to co ho. She wanted to see one last ti, but I refused her."
"I told her the rain was too heavy, that I wasn’t coming ho."
"In truth, I just didn’t want to go back."
"I hated that she always demanded and restricted under the guise of doing what was best for . Whenever I wanted to resist, she’d beco hysterical, like a lunatic; I didn’t want to face soone who had lost all reason."
"But, but I didn’t even get to see her for the last ti."
"The last thing she said to was to take good care of myself."
"She must have been very, very upset then."
"Even her last wish to see was denied."
Shen Wenzhou tried hard to control his tears, but they were beyond his control; he had refused that woman her last request to see him one more ti.
At this mont, he didn’t even dare to call her "Mom." He felt he didn’t deserve to be her son.
Only then did Shen Yi realize that Ye Wanwan had called both him and Shen Wenzhou that night. Perhaps at that ti, Ye Wanwan had already sensed sothing; she was saying goodbye to him.
And in that phone call, Ye Wanwan said she regretted it, she said she regretted it!
In the end, in their marriage, Ye Wanwan said she regretted it.
Shen Yi’s heartache intensified; their marriage had indeed been a business arrangent, but initially, Ye Wanwan had loved him, and although he may not have felt love for Ye Wanwan at the beginning, he never thought of separation or betrayal.
He believed they would, like many others, spend a life together without dramatic passion or love, but still supporting each other.
When did the three of them start to feel resentnt towards one another, to face each other with no love in their hearts, only exhaustion?
Was it since Ye Wanwan began her nurous suspicions of him? Was it since Ye Wanwan went to his company and fought with his female secretary? Or was it since he got angry and deliberately forgot their anniversary?
Or was it so other ti...
Shen Yi didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know anymore.
Ye Wanwan was gone.
He had lost his wife, and Shen Wenzhou had lost his mother.
