Chapter 276 Pleading Ineffective_1

Time ticked away, second by second. Xia Jing waited and waited, yet still, there was no response from Old Master Zhang. She had a bad feeling—had her persuasion failed? Or was her husband's resolve so strong that even his father was out of options?

Two days blinked by, and during that time, Zhang Zhentian sat alone on the couch, lost in thought. He pondered over the choices before him: on one side was his marriage, on the other, his guilt towards his father and his remorse towards his son. He had no idea what to do. If he chose one side, he knew it would be a devastating blow to the other. He didn't want to cause any more hurt to the ones he loved.

He could choose to never set foot in the Zhang family home again, to never again disturb the life he had with his son, to leave this place forever. But he couldn't accept that his wife had caused so much pain—to his son, to his father, to himself.
