The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 303

"Mother, his grandmother has already apologized. She didn't mean to be unkind. Becky said that I seduced Aron and incited her to go to my office. Her judgement was clouded by Becky's flattery and made-up stories, " Isla explained eagerly about the unpleasant incident. However, it seemed as if Jina wasn't listening to her at all. In fact, she didn't believe Isla; she thought Isla was lying.

Aron smiled as he said, "I am sorry for what Isla had to go through because of my grandmother. I should have told her that I trusted her and supported her. Aunt Jina, you can put a hit out on me or shout at me if you want. Whatever you want done with me, I will accept it. All I am asking for is your permission for taking care of Isla from now on."

Aron paused for a fraction of a second and then continued, "My grandmother told me the truth as soon as she woke up. Becky is a scheming woman. She has apologized to Isla personally the moment she found out about that. If you're not willing to let that go, I will do whatever you ask of me, "

Said Aron, as he stared at Jina with imploring eyes. Jina furrowed her eyebrows because Aron's polite attitude had caught her off guard. It was hard to say no to a gentleman like Aron. Jina didn't mind being his mother-in-law. Her resolution to object to Aron and Isla's relationship began to stagger. However, the fact that Isla had suffered a lot and had been unhappy all these years made Jina headstrong about objecting to their union. Aron was the one who abandoned Isla, so he should be the one to make efforts to win her back.

Jina took a sip of water while she was thinking about how to punish Aron for Isla's hardships.

Before their conversation could continue, the waitress came in to serve the dishes.

As they had the supper, Aron occasionally put some food and soup into Jina's bowls. Jina's dissent was slowly driven away by Aron's consideration, bit by bit.

When they finished eating, Aron asked gently, "Aunt, would you like some dessert or something else?"

"No, " Jina sighed and said, "I am full. There is no need to waste money. It's not easy for you, youngsters to earn money."

She had already ordered quite a lot of dishes to air her anger at him. Usually she would order just the right amount of food needed. There was no use in wasting food as well as money.

Hearing Jina's words, Aron turned to John and expressed his regret, "Uncle, I am sorry I haven't been well in the past few days, so I didn't have a drink with you. When I recover, I will surely meet you for a drink."

"That's okay, " replied John, smiling. It seemed like he had let go of all the negativity from before.

Men were easy to change their attitude towards a person even just after a drink or a cigarette together.

John seldom spoke when they were having supper, but he kept a watchful eye on Aron. No matter how aggressive Jina was, he didn't look impatient. The way he endured Jina's treatment showed just how much he loved Isla.

John felt greatly relieved by Aron's endeavor, so he agreed to give his beloved daughter's hand to Aron from the bottom of his heart.

He muttered under his breath, 'Since Isla loves Aron, I will allow them to be together.'

"A toast?" Jina stared at John with obvious discontent and said, "Drinking is not good for your health. Even when you regain your health, make sure to drink as little alcohol as possible."

"Okay." Aron said with a nod.

Jina finally got past all the unpleasant memories after seeing such obedience in Aron, although she remained a little skeptical.

After careful consideration, Jina made up her mind to test Aron's sincerity.

After taking a sip of water from her cup she asked him, "Have you made up your mind about being with Isla?"
