The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 301

Isla paused for an unusually long time before she mustered the courage to answer Jina's burning question, "Aron."

Upon hearing their daughter utter his name, both Jina and John were taken aback with shock. For a moment, they assured one another that they had heard the wrong name or that Isla was cracking an elaborate prank. But, when they noticed unwavering seriousness set on Isla's face, they realized that they heard it right, Aron was Isla's boyfriend.

"Have you gone crazy?" Jina looked at Isla, in shock as she has still not recovered from the blow. She asked, "Have you not received enough grief from him yet? And now you are going to walk towards the cause of your own unhappiness like a moth flies into the fire?"

"Mom, I have thought it over in depth and trust me have thought about all aspects of our relation before I even considered taking it forward." Isla said to her parents with determination, "I want to be with Aron. Besides, from now on, I will never have to go on a blind date as I am in a committed and happy relationship with Aron"

"You..." At this point, Jina was so angry that she involuntarily raised her hand, but she could not get herself slap Isla. "It is no wonder that Stephen told me he saw you staying with a man and then swore at you as a bitch. I was so annoyed with his nonsense talk that I almost had a fight with him that day. After hearing your confession I feel ridiculous to have defended you in that manner."

Jina gave out a bitter smile. She continued to speak to Isla, "Why do you insist on being with Aron Gu? Don't you think he hasn't hurt you enough for the pain to last a lifetime?"

John used to respect Isla's choice. But this time, he decided not to support Isla at all as he was dead set against the idea of Aron and Isla together.

"Isla, no matter what decisions you made in the past, I always supported you with blind faith and love. But this time you have taken it very far!" John gave Isla a serious look as he continued speaking, "I don't care about what has happened between Aron and you earlier. But now, after all of that history it is impossible for you to share a relationship with him. There is just no way!"

"Daddy..." Isla frowned slightly. She knew she had to convince her parents but what she did not expect was that, both her dad and mom would outright deny Aron a chance without hearing her out. This was not a good situation to be in.

"Isla, I am warning you, for your welfare, you should break up with that guy the minute you can. I mean what's wrong with Stephen? You should not have picked a fight with him even if you really don't like him." Jina almost went crazy with rage.

"Mom!" Isla seemed to have become a little grumpy after drinking as much as she did. It had been quite a while since she lost her temper like today. She also then began to raise her voice, "You always praise Stephen as a good man, but how good is he really? Could you be so kind as to share some details?"

"He..." Jina went blank for a moment, but soon she came back to her senses and answered, "At least, unlike Aron Gun, he won't make out with your cousin when you have a relationship with each other. Now that Aron Gu has returned for a reunion. Today I have to make something crystal clear in advance, I will never, ever approve of your relationship with Aron Gu."

Isla went blank when she heard such harsh words coming from her mother.

"You are crossing the line with your words, Jina. You can speak in an appropriate tone. Isla is not a little baby." John held Jina back, and pacified her.

"Are you sure she is not a little baby? Are you?" Jina said sarcastically, "How could she make such ridiculous decisions motivated without any reason and sanity if she is not a baby? That guy was engaged to be married to your daughter first. And right before their wedding, he broke up with your daughter somehow, and in no time was he about to marry Becky. And now after all that drama, he had changed his mind yet again to rekindle his relationship with Isla. I will be humiliated all over again if our neighbors and relatives come to know of this entire charade, you know? Besides, they might even mock me and cuss at me behind my back!"
