"You were also told that Grandfather made up a story about what really happened with mother, it is not only to deceive the public but in a way it is for me not remember such a tragic event anymore."
There was a slight pause on the other end of the line but Lim Yi Sheng didn't say anything he just waited for Xi Ana to adjust her emotions.
Anyone who had experienced something like this and then reiterating it to other people would have at least feel the pain of it again.
Mustering the courage to tell people about a painful memory is something that only strong people could do.
"I'd rather endure the pain alone than to let him see how painful it was for me because if he saw, he would only feel more miserable than he already was."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/i-love-you_50209684988153465">#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/i-love-you_50209684988153465</a> for visiting.
Thinking about Xi Ana, with her small shoulders bearing that heavy weight alone Lim Yi Sheng can't help but feel hurt on behalf of the little Xi Ana.
He never had this strong urge to go back to the past before, but just thinking about Xi Ana crying alone in her room he really wanted to carry and envelope her in a big hug as if to say that she is not alone.
"Grandfather lost grandmother a long time ago and mother is his only child but she just had to be killed ruthlessly by that person. If I too break, what would happen to Grandfather? What would happen to Xi Chen who is still so small back then?"
This is a conversation he never expected, never would he have imagined that something like this was experienced by Xi Ana when she was young.
She was already worrying about so many things at such a young age when she should have been worrying about playing and being cute.
That tragic incident didn't only took away her mother but also took away the innocence she should have as a child. This is really making his heart constrict, it's painful and saddening.
"I just want to hug you right now, Ana. How I wish I could fly to where you are right now."
This is exactly what he's feeling right at the moment, he did not want to offer any words of comfort because he knew well enough that Xi Ana told him these things not because she wanted to be pitied on but simply because he wanted to say it to him.
If he could hig her right now, he would hug her as tight as he could as if trying to make up for all the years that he was not by her side.
"You listening is enough, Yi Sheng. This is the first I've told someone about these things as clear as this."
Her tone showed that her mood has brightened up a little bit unlike earlier. This brought great relief for Lim Yi Sheng because he was feeling depressed at the fact that he's so far away from her.
Not being able to stay by her side at this moment is something that he really regrets, he should have gone there earlier today.
"Your friends, do they know all of these?"
They do but it's not like I purposely told them, being with them for a long period of time even if I don't intend to tell they would eventually know."
This is another factor that he was envious of, for years they were with Xi Ana and the fact that they knew her more than he does is something he cannot overwrite.
Even with that person named An Qi Lu, he realized it now that he can't compete with him about Xi Ana at all because they have a connection that he does not have.
An Qi Lu is someone important to Xi Ana, this is something that would never change even if Xi Ana comes to love him now.
He can't control the past because it is something that already took place, what he can decide is the present and that is what he should focus on.
"To be honest, when I married you I forgot for a moment that marrying you means that I will have to involve you in this complicated life of mine. Now that your significance in my life is becoming clearer and clearer I know that it's unfair if I always keep you in the dark."
Lim Yi Sheng chuckled because it is the same thought he had a while ago, "We might have been too focused at that moment to consider the consequences of our actions but isn't that good? At least now we have each other for everything. Soon, I will also tell you the things I have always kept inside me."
Even without saying, they do understand that they only got married for the sake of stopping their families from nagging them.
They thought that if this marriage doesn't work then they will just have to divorce, they really did took this marriage for granted.
Knowing that both of them is already considering a future together, Lim Yi Sheng felt unexplicably happy.
If he look back now, he never would have imagined that there is a woman who could make him happy just by simply thinking about the future they could share together.
"It may look like I have said a lot of things tonight but there are still a lot of secrets I have kept hidden. Will it be very selfish of me to ask you to keep waiting for me? Just a little bit more."
"You don't have to ask, Ana. I will always wait for you."
This little bit of progress means a lot to him because this progress made them a step closer to each other, although there are still a lot of questions left not answered and he himself have not yet opened up this is more than enough for now.
Furthermore, he also should start being completely honest with his feelings this way they would be able to understand and depend more on each other.
"I've already known that I love you, but now I think I love you more than I already have, Ana."
