The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 167

Becky flushed, her eyes twinkling with joy. "Grandpa, I don't think Aron wants to get married. I'm afraid he might have lost his feelings for me. He'll just be more reluctant if you ask him to marry me, " she said as soon as she calmed down.

"Don't lose heart, " Mike said with a frown, loudly interrupting her.

"I will always be on your side.

Don't worry. I'll make sure that the marriage is going to happen whether he likes it or not, " he said, full of conviction.

"But I..." Becky trailed off mid-sentence.

"Don't you want to make grandma happy?

She has always hoped that you and Aron will get married. Who knows? She might even wake up out of sheer joy knowing that you two get married, " Mike continued, trying to persuade her.

'If Joanna knew that I married Aron, she would be furious, ' Becky thought to herself.

"I guess I have no choice but to follow grandpa's arrangement, " she replied with a sly smile on her face.

"Good girl, " Mike said, clearly satisfied.

"You should go home and rest."

Becky pretended to refuse Mike's proposal. But he was so insistent it made her reluctantly agree. She laid down into the sofa as soon as she got home. "Mom, get me something to eat. Attending to that old fool for two whole days has made me so hungry and exhausted, " she whined, unwilling to move.

"What are you talking about? Be careful or someone might hear you, " Mandy said, reprimanding her daughter.

"Patience is key. Once your marriage with Aron is settled, you can do whatever you want." she continued, patting Becky's shoulder.

Sighing, she said, "I know. I'm really trying my best to be patient."

Becky got up and perched on the back of the sofa, leaning her head on her hands. "Mom, but how about my wedding ceremony?" she asked.

"I'm going to take care of it so there's no need to worry. I'll make sure that everything is ready when the time comes, " Mandy replied, reassuring her daughter.

Joanna's accident proved to be beneficial. Mike consented to all of Mandy's proposal no matter how unreasonable they were. He had only one condition. And that was for Becky and Aron to get married as soon as possible.

"We're running out of time. Your wedding ceremony is scheduled to be held early next month. Mike said he wouldn't want the wedding ceremony to be delayed. He wants it to be rushed regardless of the expenses, "

She continued.

Becky sighed, wondering if it was all happening too suddenly.

She had always longed to be Aron's bride for the past four years. Finally hearing all of this in real life felt unreal.

"Isn't this what you have wanted for so long?" she asked Becky, knowing her answer fully well.

"When you have the time, don't forget to give me the list of your friends so that I can prepare the wedding invitations, " Mandy reminded her.

Becky smiled in return, a vicious thought coming to her mind. "Mom, you must prepare an invitation for Isla and then hand it to her yourself, " Becky said menacingly.

"I will, "

Mandy said as if knowing the request beforehand.
