The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 156 You're Going to Marry Her

"'Don't turn a deaf ear to me. I am talking to you. Do you hear me?" His grandparents deliberately

pretended not to know that Aron was at odds with Becky and carried on talking about the wedding with

him.

"Grandpa and grandma, can we just please stop talking about this right now. I am definitely not going to

marry Becky. I have explained this to you, countless times in the past four years. I don't like her and I

am not going to get married to her. But you just won't listen to me. Today is the last time I am going to

say this to you. Becky is not the person I want to get married to, so please don't stop wasting your time

trying to convince me otherwise, " said Aron.

"Why do you insist on talking about such nonsense?" His grandma's eye-brows furrowed in a deep

crease and then she said, "Becky is a kind and beautiful girl who is madly in love with you. She has

always been respectful to us. Why do you insist on breaking up with her? You're going to deeply regret

passing on a good girl like her. Besides, she even had a baby with you before. You can't just break her

heart like that, after what you two have been through together. You need to take some responsibility for

that. You are my beloved grandson and I've always listened to what you've had to say, but this time I

need you to listen to me. There is no longer any room for negotiations in this matter. I have already

made up my mind on this."

After hearing this, Aron turned to his grandpa who coughed slightly and said, "I also agree with your

grandmother on this. Becky is a really good girl. You've have been together for so many years, I think it

is time the two of you got married."

"No. You are wrong. I have never been in a relationship with Becky, not even for a single minute." Aron

frowned and paused for a few seconds, "Grandma, to be honest, I already have someone I love

dearly..."

But before he could even finish what he wanted to say, his grandma slapped him on the face,

unexpectedly. At first, when Becky came to her to complain about Aron's betrayal, she did not believe

her because deep down she knew what kind of person Aron really was. She believed that, he might

have been cantankerous at times, but he was certainly not an unfaithful man, who could betray

someone's trust so heartlessly. However, after she heard Aron confess, she realized that she had been

completely wrong about him.

It was her first time to hit Aron. Although she felt remorseful after slapping Aron, she was not willing to

compromise on the matter. Aron had to get married to Becky.

"Aron, now I can tell you that you no longer have any say in this matter. Whether you agree or not,

you're going to marry her. Don't try to play tricks, " she said to Aron, firmly, as she was starting to lose

her patience.

"Aron, don't provoke your grandma. Hurry up, I want you to apologize to her and tell her that you will

marry Becky." Aron's grandpa held his wife, as he calmly sat her down on the couch.

"Grandma. Grandpa. Isla is the only woman I have ever loved so truly. I am definitely not marrying

Becky whether you like it or not, because to be completely honest, I don't love her at all." After the

death of his parents, it was his grandparents who had raised him as their own. In any other situation,

Aron would have heeded their wishes without hesitation, but this time he had to follow his own

decision.

He was also determined not to make any compromises on the matter.

"Are you trying to piss me off, Aron?" His grandma pointed at him, trembling in anger. She was

completely irritated by his insolence. "You'd better forget about that woman as soon as possible. I won't

even allow you to be with her, let alone marry her."

"Grandma! Why are you being so stubborn?" Aron frowned impatiently as he had no idea how to

persuade his grandparents.

"Stop! That is enough!" His grandpa had grown tired of their quarrel, he seemed to have also gotten

angry at Aron now, "Do you really want to offend us? All right then, there's no use talking about this

anymore. Let's call it a day. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

His grandma felt ill because she hadn't had a good night's rest last night. And now, thanks to Aron she

was suffering from a sharp mood swing. She asked her husband to help her go back to her bedroom.

After coming out of the room, Aron's grandpa glared at him with great resentment. "You know that your

grandma hasn't been feeling well; why don't you try talking to her more patiently? Why are you so

disobedient?"

"Is grandma... Is she okay?" Aron asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious at the moment, but you've really hurt her feelings this time. Look at what you've

done..." Aron's grandpa sighed heavily in utter disappointment.

"Grandpa, I know this is not the right time to talk about this with you, but I really want to follow my heart

this time. You wouldn't want to see me getting a divorce from Becky in the future because I really don't

love her. I never have. And you don't have to worry about anything at all. I will take care of this. As for

Becky, I will find a way to make amends to her. No matter how long it takes, I will make reparations."

Aron was determined to deal with the problem as soon as possible.

"Are you really that stupid, Aron? Don't you realize how much Becky loves you? Do you think she will

be willing to break up with you so easily?" His grandfather took a breath and tried to explain the

situation to Aron. "Besides, why don't you like her? She is such a good girl! Why don't you want to get

married to her? Is that woman better than Becky?"

"Yes, " replied Aron firmly. He nodded and explained, "She was the woman I fell in love with four years

ago and I am still madly in love with her, but..." Aron hesitated for a while and continued, "We broke up

before, because of a slight misunderstanding, but now I have clarified my feelings to her."

"Well, what about Becky?" Aron's grandfather had never met Isla before, so he was unable to pass his Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

judgement on her. But Becky had lived with them for four years, he had known her quite well by then.

Although Aron had always treated her indifferently, she had completely devoted four valuable years of

her life to Aron. Moreover, Becky had always treated Aron's grandparents with care and respect.

Even if she did it purposefully on her own, they could not deny what she had done for Aron's family.

Aron furrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the question of his grandpa. "Grandpa, I've always had

a clear position when it came to Becky. But every time I tried to explain myself to her, you and grandpa

would persuade me not to. This has been delayed for four years, and it still hasn't been resolved yet. If

I loved her, I would have already married her by now. But I didn't, because I never loved her. So could

you please let me deal with it on my own. You don't have to worry about this. I am an adult and I am

capable of handling this on my own."

Upon hearing this, Aron's grandpa took a deep breath, then he finally nodded and said, "We are old

now and we don't want to get in your way anymore. Anyway, I expect you to deal with it appropriately.

But, you will have to persuade your grandma on your own, I can't help you with that. She is too

stubborn."

His grandpa had finally agreed with Aron. He understood that Aron was an adult now and he would

have to be responsible for his own actions. He was old enough to know who his heart really belonged

to.

If he couldn't live happily with Becky after getting married to her, things would get much worse, and he

would blame it all on his grandparents.

Even though his grandpa had come round, Aron's grandma was still adamant about her decision. As

soon as she got back to her bedroom, she called Becky on her phone, to tell her what had happened

between Aron and her. She was very open with Becky as she had regarded her as one of her family

members.

Becky was still asleep, so when she received the call from Aron's grandma, she answered impatiently,

"Hello? This is Becky. What's wrong?"

"Good morning, Becky. Are you still sleeping?" She lowered her voice and said to Becky, "I have

something to ask you right now."

"Hello, grandma." When Becky realized that it was Aron's grandma, she sat up abruptly to pay attention

and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?" She quickly switched to a more gentle and soft tone which was

a sharp contrast to her attitude just now.

"Well, I heard that..." The old lady was about to speak but then she hesitated, as she didn't know where

to begin. "Yesterday you mentioned that Aron had fallen in love with another woman; I just wanted to

know if it was true." She finally asked Becky because she wanted to figure out what was going on.
