Lu Jian was surprised at his wife's sudden reaction. After watching his mom leaving without giving them a second thought was heart-wrenching and he was even more sure that she never cared about them.
The illusion surrounding his mind vanished completely as he saw her emotionless back and face towards the door.
It was so easy for her to leave everything behind. He must be a joke to her all these years. His love towards her must be annoying to her after all he was just a bastard.
Her dreams must regret for her to leave everything behind for them.
His love for his mother vanished in his heart. He was suddenly a little empty and there was a silent relief as large baggage was dropped off from his mind.
He had been always aware of the dislike his mother had towards him.
So it was not that strange to feel a bit free from this relationship. Frankly, it was a good feeling.
