The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 224

"Becky, don't speak to Aron like that, you know he cares about you, " Mandy persuaded her. Somehow she believed that Aron would still marry Becky as long as she persisted. She continued, "Aron, Becky's not been in a good mood lately. Would you kindly ignore her brashness. You know that you're the one she only loves, can you... be more patient with her?"

Mandy yanked Becky's arm and said, "Look at you, you can't even control your temper. What would you do if Aron really left you?"

Becky let out a bitter laugh and said, "What makes your think he'll want to marry me after what has happened? It's not going to happen, mom. Stop dreaming!"

She walked up to Aron, stood in front of him, and said, "Aron, from now on, I don't want to have anything to do with you. Do I make myself clear?"

She wasn't able to get the man she loved, so she turned her love to hatred.

Her hatred for Aron was as strong as her love.

Becky intended to leave right after she had said everything she had to, but Mandy persisted. Becky understood what her mother was going to do, so she said to her assertively, "Mom. just come with me, okay? If you continue to pursue this, I promise you that I will never come back home."

Mandy had no choice but to give up and leave with her daughter, even though as a mother, she was reluctant to let go of her daughter's chance at happiness. She murmured, "Becky, dear, why would you say something like that? There could still be a chance to salvage this if you are willing to show remorse. But..."

"Enough, Mom!" Becky yelled at her mother. She stood there in the cold wind, pulling her wind-breaker tightly, as she held her head high.

She had belittled herself to Aron for too long; it was time to get her dignity back. There would be a lot of other suitors for her, besides Aron. However, the thought of Aron being with Isla annoyed her far too much. She was determined not to let them have peace so easily.

She said to Mandy, "Mom, I don't want to hear anything else about him; not even his name. From this day onwards, I will stop loving him. I want him to regret, letting me go, for the rest of his life."

Mandy looked at her daughter's eyes and felt as if something about her had changed.

Aron sensed the change in Becky too, but he didn't care about that at all. He followed them with his car until they had found a taxi.

Aron wanted to explain everything to Isla, but she refused to see him, so he had no choice but to wait.

From that day onwards, Becky's family never came to make trouble again. The days had gone by peacefully, but sadly, the health of Autumn's Grandma, Emily, was deteriorating.

It was Chris's first birthday after she had returned to China, and the first one since Autumn had married Charles. It was a grand and magnificent party, aimed to celebrate the addition of Emily and Autumn into the family. Charles decided to take this opportunity to introduce Autumn to everyone at the party... as his wife.

Chris, however, was not in a happy mood in the morning, because she couldn't see the people she wanted to see on her 22nd birthday.
