Chapter 2528
Ryan sneered. "Hmph! You don't even know what happened to your sons, and you had the cheeks to say that I don't care about you and don't take care of your sons?"
Ruth was speechless.
"Ruth! Everybody has different ways to get along with one another. The reason Uncle Alex could treat Aunt Jane as the apple of his eyes and let her do whatever she pleased was that she has never been one to do whatever she pleased, to begin with. Even if you were to take a butcher's knife and put it in her hands, the first thing she would do is not to use the knife to kill others. Instead, she would be so frightened that she would faint in Uncle Alex's arms. She always takes the big picture into consideration! She would always keep all of the grievances that she has suffered and all the disdainful treatments she has received from my grandmother and my aunt to herself! She would never let my uncle know! Everything that Aunt Jane did was for the sake of my uncle. She is devoted to him. My uncle knows that she is this kind of person as well, so he protects her at every turn! This is what husband and wife are supposed to be like! Do you know what that is? But what about you, Ruth?"
Seeing Ryan so angry, Ruth got slightly sheepish. "Me? What about me? Go on!"
"What about you?" Ryan gritted his teeth and sneered. "Ruth, I had to admit that ever since you met Sabrina, your temper has become much, much better. You're a good girl. You're kind, honest, straightforward, and sympathetic. However, if you just be a little bit more tolerant and if you could think in another person's shoes, we would not be in this situation like this right now. It's true. You were born in the lowest level of society. My mother also indeed looks down upon you. However, have you ever thought about things from her perspective? Having you as her daughter-in-law, she has already felt completely disgraced in front of her best friends, the entire Poole family, and also her own family. Is her dignity not worthy to be taken into consideration? She is condescending and has the willful temper of a spoiled lady from an eminent family, but she has already been used to that all her life. In the eyes of others, she is still a kind and understanding person."
He continued. "Ruth, who in this world doesn't have any flaws at all? Even if you don't think on my mother's behalf, can you think on my behalf? We love each other and we have two children together. Can't you endure the grievances a little and tolerate my mother for the sake of me? How did you know that my mother did not tolerate you at all? She had already made a lot of changes for your sake. In the past, she had to use lemon water to wash her hands before she eats. However, to accommodate you, she had gradually changed this habit of hers. In the past, she would absolutely not leave the house if her makeup was not done and her outfit was not properly matched. Now, she has also made a lot of changes to that for your sake. She doesn't even need a special girl to help her carry her bag for her anymore when she is out together with you. She has already been making changes slowly, but she still needs some time, doesn't she? Both of you should make compromises for each other, shouldn't you? But what about you? Ruth, tell me yourself, have you made such great sacrifices as Aunt Jane did? I'm not saying that women have to make sacrifices and whatnot. However, everybody has to give in a little for the sake of the family, right? You, however, are the opposite. You had been insisting on keeping your dignity. You maintained that your straightforward and carefree nature and your habits can't be changed. You have plenty of grievances. Then, you finally can't stand it anymore, so you escaped from that devilish family with strict rules. You're just a commoner and you don't care about that kind of wealth and glory at all."
