"Okay..." Kim Lan nodded, "I'll listen to Dad. So, can Dad come home today?"
"That's not the issue..." Jintao's face darkened, "I didn't sleep all night last night, reminiscing about the years since marrying your mom. It's very sad. I realized your mom never had real feelings for me.
Back then, she pursued and married me not because she liked me as a person, but because she was getting older, and my job was quite enviable. Plus, at that time, your grandfather was doing really well.
All of this led to our marriage. At first, things were okay between us, but as some of her classmates did better and better, she started feeling dissatisfied.
Then, she became increasingly impatient with me, your grandparents. You might think she was just speaking out of anger yesterday, and I'm overreacting, but do you know why I'm reacting this way? I bet your mom hasn't told you the reason."
