CHAPTER 612

"Hey, this is a secret between us men. Never you let your mother know," Kim Jingguo warned.

"Oh, I think she knew way before she married you but she was blinded by love and even though she knew she came second place in your heart, it was okay with her." The source of this content is novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

He smirked at his father. Obviously, that was a secret he did not know but Kim Fan being a filial son overheard his mum one day when she cried her heart out.

It wasn't like his father maltreated her. It was just that his father was careless one day when he allowed his hand and mind to go back down memory lane.

He had stumbled upon an old photo but from the look of things, it was an old photo well cherished and hidden. He spent his time looking at it and basking in the memory before keeping it and exiting his study.

Unknown to him, his wife was just about to go in and when she saw his door partially closed, so she saw everything and where he kept the photo.

Being the curious little kitty she was, she went in after he had left and seen it for herself.

Her heart broke into a million pieces when she saw that he still cherished Li Jing's mother more than her.

She wept uncontrollably after he left the house that day. Unfortunately, she broke some things and caught herself in the process. Luckily Kim Fan was home that day and he witnessed it all.

He was there to console her while she drank her sorrows away as she lamented her woes to him.

Well by the time she woke up the next morning, she did not recall telling him about it just that she knew she had her son to pet her.

"I must admit, I blamed you lots back then for hurting mum, dad but after growing up into the adult I am and being with so many women yet it was the one I never had that struck my heart, even more, I guess I understood."

"Hmm, I am sorry about it all, you know."

"I know. But I am not the one you should be apologizing to. It is mum."'I cannot go and tell her that. It would break her heart even further."

"Well, I guess you do not have to go say it over again. So it is easier."

"Huh?"

Ignoring his father's confused look, he averted his gaze over to the door of the living room. "Because she is…"

Before Kim Fan nor his father could speak further, his mother walked in.

"Because I heard it all, Jingguo."

His eyes fell open in shock. He just undid himself, didn't he?

"And you two have been really chatty, I see."

"Umm, mother." Kim Fan pretended to know nothing and stood up from his seat. "The love of my life."

He spread his hands wide for her to embrace him but she looked at him with doubt. "Remind me the time I resembled Li Jing or her mother."

At the last part, she directed her gaze and attention to her husband who felt like the ground should open up and swallow him.

It was one thing to have hurt her and another to be caught in the act talking about it.

Even more, he knew the wife he married. She was cool like Kim Fan had said of Li Jing but when she was forced to show her real colour if pushed to the extreme, it mostly did not end well for anyone especially her offender.

"Lan Fang, I am sorry."

"Save it and you," she eyed Kim Fan thoroughly, causing her son to cringe.

This was not how things were supposed to end actually. Why was she now looking at him lie he was the problem of her past when he was the lovely young son?

"Mother."

"I won't hear it. Until when have you been conspiring with your father like this?"

"Mum, I never have. In fact, this is just the first time and it was because we were talking about Li Jing and the accident."

"Accident? Yes, I did hear about that. Hmm," she scoffed. "I guess I can say serve her right. I would not feel guilty, serve her family right for what they did to my Fan."

"Oh, mommy. How you love me so." He put on the puppy dog act and cosied himself close to his mother for a hug.

At first, she allowed him to come close but when he was about to touch her when she slapped his hand away and walked away, going to take his seat and sip on his juice.

"You are just like your father."

"Mother. I thought you were…"

"Shut it. You still love her and that is what pisses me off. How can you two be hurt like that? They obviously do not value your love yet you want to stick your neck out and you still love her?"

"Umm perhaps saying this is wrong mum but I have a question for you. How can dad not put you first in his heart, yet your undying love for him still persist and you even bore him a son and have stayed by his side all these years?"

As he said that, Lan Fang's eyes dropped as she lowered her gaze. He did have a point and one that she could not deny but bloody hell she was still his mother.

How dare he say that to her?

On the other hand, Kim Fan knew what he was doing. Looking at it, they were just a family of hopeless lovers. It was such a shame because he ended up inheriting their failure in love and relieved the same circle.

His father looked at him with so much resentment. He may still love Li Jing's mother but his wife was no different. He loved her as well and would not tolerate anyone treating hr that way.

"Apologize to your mother, Kim Fan."

"I am just stating the obvious father.. Maybe if you two were not such hopeless romantics, I would have had a great chance at love. I just…"
