Qin Mingxian glanced at him and finally shut her mouth.
A son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up.
Mingzhao put down her chopsticks.
Liu Mei and Zhao Gang quickly finished the food in their bowls.
The two men exchanged a glance and decided to step outside the yard so the family could have a proper talk.
Qin Mingxian and Huo Hua seemed to have received some signal and placed their bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Mingzhao slowly began, "I have a project that requires me to leave for a while."
Howard uttered a single word from his throat: "Okay."
Qin Mingxian gave him a look of disappointment.
He said gently to Mingzhao, "Good child, can you give me a definite answer? How long are you going to be gone this time?"
Mingzhao was silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Howard.
"I won't hold you back. Let's file for divorce tomorrow."
divorce?
Qin Mingxian was surprised that it was Mingzhao who suggested it.
Qin Mingxian: "Are you really going to get a divorce?"
Howard clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.
Mingzhao nodded: "Yes, the return date for my project is uncertain..."
Howard suddenly stood up: "I won't get a divorce."
Mingzhao was taken aback, looking at Huo Hua as if he were thinking about something.
Howard's eyes were filled with a complexity she didn't want to understand, and carried a deep sense of oppression.

Regardless of whether a wife works for the country or something else, as long as she is not in this family, she cannot ultimately be considered a member of the family.
What's the point of marrying someone who's never home, someone you can't touch or see?
Does my son have to stay single forever?
Howard couldn't hold back any longer and said in a low voice, "Damn it, stop talking and let me talk to Mingzhao, okay?"
After finishing, Howard pulled Mingzhao into the bedroom and closed the door.
The two stood facing each other.
"I won't get a divorce, okay? Let's not get a divorce."
Howard spoke earnestly, his words of supplication making Mingzhao's heart tighten.
"But……"
"No buts! No matter how long you're gone, I can wait."
Howard approached Mingzhao step by step, his aggression palpable.
Mingzhao was forced to retreat.
"I don't want to... delay your marriage and having children."
These are the words Zhang Mingyuan said to her.
Howard looked at Mingzhao's tense little face and stroked her cheek with his large, calloused hand.
"I'm sorry! But I want to... please give me a chance."
What's wrong? Before Mingzhao could react, Howard's large face was already close, reflected in the depths of his pupils.
"meet……"
So soft...so sweet...it made Howard want to go even deeper...
