The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 157

"Of course it is true!" Becky was fuming as she recalled the scene she saw yesterday. "I even know that woman very well. Just as the old saying goes that a rabbit doesn't nibble the grass near its own hole. But why would Aron want to be with that woman? If he wants to find another woman, he should..."

"Becky, you have to trust me. Aron must be brainwashed or beswitched by that woman temporarily, otherwise he wouldn't have done something like this." Aron's grandma quickly defended her dear grandson's actions, because she could not bear the thought of someone scolding him. "Well, Becky, it is not very convenient to talk about this on the phone. Do you want to meet somewhere else, to talk? I'd like to invite you for a meal."

"Of course, I would like to. But grandma, you are the elder here while I am your junior, so it is natural for me to invite you for a meal. I am going to get up soon and I will come to pick you up later." Becky said with a smile, but soon she added, "Well, grandma, I have something to remind you of... I think it would be better not to tell Aron that we're seeing each other today. You know that he is very angry with me at the moment."

"Don't worry. I won't tell him, " Joanna promised at once, since she was now standing in the same line with Becky.

Becky hung up the phone and got off her bed in a hurry. After getting dressed, Becky went down stairs where Mandy Zhao was surprised to see her at that hour. It was rare for Becky to get up so early. "Becky, you got up so early today! Why don't you stay in bed longer and get some sleep? Do you have any plans for today?"

"No. I don't want to sleep right now." Becky replied calmly and went on, "Mom, I need your help to find out where Isla is working right now. It is time I paid her a visit since we haven't seen each other for so many years."

"Why would you want to meet her? What are you going to do?" Mandy was never fond of Isla.

"I will explain it to you later, but this is not the right time to talk about it. Hurry up, mom." Becky did not tell Mandy the whole story, because she wanted to meet Isla alone.

"Ok, I am going to call someone." Just within a few minutes, Mandy found out the address of Isla's workplace and then gave Becky the news. After getting her desired information, Becky went out with great satisfaction.

Soon she arrived at the house of Aron's grandparents and then she called Joanna. As Joanna was not in good health, Becky took her to a nearby porridge shop for a meal. "Grandma, you have been abroad for a long time and you rarely come back. I often came here to eat before I have to go abroad and I think it is a nice place since the food here is very delicious. Grandma, you should try it. Perhaps you will also like it."

"Okay, okay." Joanna looked at Becky and smiled softly. She was quite gratified with her warm and caring nature.

"Becky, you said that you know the woman whom Aron is in love with. Are you serious?

Who is she and where does she live?" Joanna was eager to dig out all of the information about that woman who seduced her grandson.

"Of course, I know her. I am being serious." Becky took a bowl of porridge for Joanna and said calmly, "Actually I know her quite well, because she is my cousin, my older sister."

"What? What are you talking about?" Joanna was completely astonished when she heard this from Becky. "That woman is your cousin?"

"Yes, " replied Becky indifferently. Becky smiled bitterly and said, "You think it is ridiculous? But it is the truth."

She paused for a few seconds and then continued, "She met a man a few years ago and said that she was going to get married to him. Unfortunately, the man left her for another woman. Since then, she was mentally traumatized and she began to date multiple men, but now she is thirty years old, and she still hasn't gotten married yet. Four years ago she even seduced Aron, who at the time, was completely obsessed with her, but then Aron had to go abroad with you that year, leaving their relationship unsettled. But I had never expected that she would come running back to Aron as soon as he got back.

Grandma, I really love Aron, please help me. Please. I have no idea what to do." Becky pretended to be pitiful and begged Joanna for help.

Joanna hastily nodded and comforted her, "Becky, don't worry. I have taken you as a part of my family and you have always been kind to us, so I will definitely help you."
