Chapter 1159: "Bailee, how do you see me? Do you think I'm just a means for the Asker family to push on their legacy? If you can't have a child, should I find someone else who can? Is my sole purpose in marriage not to love my wife but just to father a child? I have feelings! Maybe I'm a tool in my mother's eyes, but do you seethat way too? Don't I deserve to have a lasting relationship with you?" Huey stood up abruptly, his anger palpable, and turned away to wipe his tears.
The room fell into a stifling silence. Bailee wanted to say a lot of things, but she didn't know how to start. She had prepared what she would say to Huey, hoping to convince him, but now, rendered speechless by his outburst, she struggled to find her voice.
She ran her hands through her hair and took a moment to collect herself before speaking. "We weren't born just for ourselves; we need to consider our families too. Your mother isn't aware of my health issues yet, and her opposition to our union will only intensify once she finds out about it." Huey said, "Who was born just to fulfill others' wishes? Are you a servant? Why can't you fulfill my wishes then? I just want to live peacefully with you for the rest of my life. Is that so wrong? Why are you trying to fulfill my mother's wishes? She's always making things difficult for you. Don't tellyou actually like that stubborn old woman!" Huey turned around and stood in front of Bailee. "It's clear you and my mother will never get along, but that doesn't mean you can't be with me. I don't get along with her either. Even if we were to divorce, my views still differ from hers. Ultimately, it's your choice-but just so you know... if I divorce you, I won't marry again. I'll stay single for the rest of my life." With those words, Huey turned and walked toward the door. He grabbed the car keys and added, “I know I might have my faults in daily life. If you think I'm not good enough and want to divorce me, accept it. I'm not trying to force you to stay. I'm saying all of this... the decision is yours to make." Find your next story at gvlnov☐☐☐☐☐ With that, he left. Bailee was left alone in the room.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Bailee wiped her tears and stood up to open it.
To her surprise, Huey had returned. “Whether it's a divorce or not, we need to have dinner. Get dressed and let's go out to eat." His tone left no room for argument.
Bailee stood there momentarily stunned. She then nodded, grabbed her coat, and followed him out.
There was a restaurant that Bailee particularly liked.
Bailee walked into the restaurant behind Huey.
They both sat down, and Huey ordered the usual. After that, he immediately pulled out his phone to handle swork, remaining silent.

He had said they were there to eat, and that was exactly what heo m intended to do just share a meal, E nothing more.
After they had finished eating, Huey walked Bailee back home. As they reached the entrance, Bailee said, "It's getting late. It looks like it might rain soon. You should leave."
Huey stopped and questioned, "You're really not going to letstay? Haven't you changed your mind ΟΜ after our meal? Where am supposed Ahear to go? A heartbroken man wandering around in the middle of the night...
Aren't you worried that I might end up doing something drastic? Like driving to a bridge and jumping into the water?"
