Huo Mian's expression changed slightly when she heard what he said…
"I know what you're worried about. You're scared that your mom won't react well to it."
"Yeah, my mom wouldn't be able to endure that shock."
"But have you thought about it? We can't stay secretly married our whole lives. We're married, and that's the fact."
"I know," Huo Mian looked down and said weakly.
"I know that what my parents did back then is unforgivable, and I'm trying my best to make things up to you. I will treat your family like mine for the rest of my life and treat your mother and brother like my own. I think that if your mother knows how I feel about you, she might cut me some slack."
"But my mom has high blood pressure, and her health isn't great. I'm afraid that if I tell her, she'll get angry, and… get sick, and that would be a hassle. Uncle Jing is already gone, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
