The Apple of My Eye

"My dear son, I beg you to come back home." Simon didn't really know how to get along with Aron; That was the main reason behind their failed relationship.

"I have missed you, during your long absence from home. You should cast your displeasure to the wind. I have asked Mandy to prepare your favorite dishes. Why don't you come home tonight?" Simon pleaded to Aron on phone, "We'd better talk it over at home."

Aron's silence made Simon more anxious, "It has been so many years, have you still not forgiven me?"

"Let bygones be bygones. There is no point in asking me for my forgiveness, " Aron replied with great composure, "But I think... there's also no need for us to see each other again. We should just treat each other like strangers."

"My dear son!" Simon lost his self-control at Aron's indifference and cried out to him, "Now I've realized my mistake in having failed your mother, and being overwhelmed by the growing sense of guilt. Besides, I have also failed to care for you after your mother's death, and I left you in a state of helplessness. It was all my fault."

Simon sighed and continued pleading, "Aron, you are my only son. After my death, you will inherit our family estate, and you will be entrusted with the important duty of running the family company. At least, come back home, even just to save my face."

Aron sniffled at his father's offer. In truth, Aron was hesitant to take over his father's distressed company. But he had already promised Authur he would handle the task he was entrusted with.

Simon continued his appeal regardless of Aron's silence, "Anyway, I will wait for your return. Our home address is still the same."

"Ok, but I'll have to check my schedule, " Aron replied. He hung up the call, and then went straight to the company where Isla worked. It was worth mentioning that Isla worked overtime with Autumn to implement the proposal from Mr. Hoada, without respite.
