The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 156

"'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?"
