The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 152

"Please don't say that and don't be angry, Mandy." Aron's grandparents flushed with embarrassment upon hearing all that Mandy had to say. They did feel extremely guilty about the matter especially since their grandson was unable to meet Becky's expectations. Becky had been with him for over four years and now it was time for Aron to make his decision, whether he wanted to move forward or not.

When Becky and Aron went abroad, Becky found out that she was pregnant. But he did not care about it at all. One unfortunate day, Becky fell down accidentally during a quarrel with Aron. They paid heavy price for that quarrel.

"Becky, you are a kind girl. I know you are being wronged and you have suffered many hardships, " said Aron's grandma, Joanna. She took Becky's hands and said softly, "I am sure that you also know that grandpa and I have always regarded you as a part of our family over these years. So you don't have to worry. I will definitely get Aron to marry you and as your family I am responsible for your welfare for the rest of your life.

"That's okay, grandma. I am absolutely fine." Becky pretended to be strong and considerate and added, "I will wait for him irrespective of how long it will take for him..."

"Oh my god. You really are a silly girl, Becky!" Before Becky could finish her sentence Mandy interrupted her. "Do you know how long you have already been waiting for him? You have been waiting for him for four whole years! You will never get this time back and all these years you could have been someone else's wife! Becky, how many years do you have to wile away like this? You have wasted the most valuable years you have as a girl on him. You know what, now every one of our relatives thinks that you are getting married soon. Do you want them to laugh at you? Do you really want to be the laughingstock?"

In fact, Mandy was constantly worried that Aron would not marry Becky after spending so many years together. And if it turned out to be true, then everything they had gone through earlier would all be in vain.

Mandy tipped Becky a wink and continued, "I asked you to come back when you had your miscarriage, but you refused to come back. I did not force you then because I knew that you love him deeply. But four years have passed, do you still want to continue things the way they are? Will you not resent him for the future he isn't giving you?"

"Mom, please give some more time. Aron is just..." Dwelling upon what Mandy said Becky now started to see sense. She had schemed against Isla that year and forced her to break up with Aron. She had struggled for many years. She had been waiting for Aron for so many years and she was absolutely not going to give up.

"Be a good girl. Go back home with me now." Mandy took Becky's hands and began comforting her. She then turned to Aron's grandparents and said, "You are the dearests and closest to Aron. So could you please help me by telling Aron that if he still harbors reluctance to get married to Becky, my daughter will definitely not badger him to do so. If we are not meeting to discuss their wedding next time then we don't have to meet again."

"Mandy, please wait. Mandy..." The old couple could do nothing but just look at Mandy who took her daughter away. In that moment they felt more helpless and anxious, than they had felt in years, as they simply could not get through to Aron.

Seeing this, Aron's grandpa couldn't help complaining to his wife and blaming her, "This is all your fault. How dare he act in such a manner but for your indulgence in daily life?"

"I am sure that you know about Aron's life experiences. And with his experiences, it is needless to say you must know how much hardships he has bared. Then how can I possibly be strict with him in this case? What's more, there is also your 'credit' in some of it, right?" Aron's grandma was not going to be compromising. She took a sigh after a long time and said, "Perhaps they would have gotten married to each other if Becky had not lost their baby accidentally. Becky had a miscarriage just after their quarrel. How could that little baby be so vulnerable? That poor baby of theirs did not even get the chance to have a glimpse of this world."

"Babies are all vulnerable even before birth. Perhaps it was because of the violent mood swings of Becky during their quarrel, " said his grandpa.

The old man sighed helplessly and added, "But I really feel guilty for what is happening with Becky. During these four years, Aron has always hidden his face from Becky. He has never cared about her let alone taken care of her. But anyway Becky lost a baby because of Aron and now he has to be responsible for Becky."
