The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 308

"Don't push me!" Jina retorted, giving her daughter, Isla a dissatisfied glance. "We have lived here, away from home for a long time. Do you think it's proper for us to return empty handed? Without bringing our relatives any presents? That is unthinkable. Besides, we are going back to our hometown to celebrate your grandma's birthday. It's important to please her and honor her. Also, there is someone else who hasn't come yet. What's the hurry?"

"Huh? What do you mean? We are all here. Who else is coming?" Isla asked. 'Mom and dad are here. Of course I'm here! Why did she say that?' Isla wondered.

"You'll know it soon enough, " Jina replied with a playful smile on her face. She turned around and returned to pack up their luggage.

Isla couldn't rest her mind, thinking about what her mother said. Right at that time, the doorbell rang. She went to the door and opened it; there was Aron standing with a bright smile. "Aron! What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that I was going to return to my hometown with my parents?" Isla wasn't very pleased.

"Is Aron coming in, Isla?" Jina asked, quickly walking towards the two. "Come in Aron. Glad you could make it. Isla, be a nice little lady and pour him a cup of tea. Please wait a moment. We still have many parcels to pack." Jina said to Aron with a warm smile.

"That's ok. Don't mind me." Aron returned the smile.

"Well? Why are you still here? Go get him some tea!" Jina urged, nudging Isla towards the kitchen.

After pouring Aron a cup of tea, Isla finally figured it out. "Wait... are you going to come with us?" she asked while handing the cup of tea to Aron.

"Yes, I am. Surprise!" Aron replied smiling, looking at Isla with affection.

"Mom, are you crazy? Why did you ask Aron to come with us?" Isla called out. 'Mandy had also just come back to our hometown. The relatives think that Aron would be marrying Becky. This time, her family will attend grandma's birthday. Once they see Aron, they will be pissed off.' Isla mused.

"There have already been enough our rumors. You just want to use Aron to provoke Mandy." Isla continued with dissatisfaction. "Aron, don't listen to my mom. Just go home now." Isla turned towards Aron, pushing him to leave.

'This is crazy. I can't let that happen, ' Isla told herself.

"Isla..." Aron replied tenderly, grabbing Isla's hand. "It's okay."

"Did you heard that? Even he doesn't mind it, why are you so nervous?" Jina glanced at Isla, slightly irritated at her daughter. "I just want to let those bitches know that my daughter isn't an old maid. Didn't they laugh at you and say that you couldn't find a boyfriend? I'll tell them that my daughter is going to get married and her boyfriend is the perfect man."

Jina was a proud woman. After Becky had stolen Aron away from Isla, most of their relatives and neighors said that Isla deserved it. After that, Mandy went back to their hometown to give out invitations. Their relatives buttered her up and spoke ill of Isla. Now Aron was finally back together with Isla. Jina couldn't wait to show everyone that her daughter was the most brilliant girl in the world and she was much better than Becky.
