The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 310

"Have you seen him? Isn't my son-in-law a handsome young man? He is much better than that carpenter, isn't he?" Jina asked Kay, putting on a smirk. "I advise you to pay more attention to yourself. Don't bother yourself with my daughter's marriage, " Jina continued triumphantly.

Kay stared at Aron in confusion. He looked very familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had met him before.

Jina walked away to greet other neighbors complacently. "Today is my mother's birthday. Please join us for dinner if you're free, " she said to them, as she gave some gifts away.

'The more, the merrier, ' Jina thought to herself with delight.

"Sure!" the neighbors responded. They still looked down upon Jina, secretly, even though they took gifts from her.

Soon Jina had finished handing out all the gifts. When she was about to go inside, she heard the honking of car horns from a far distance. She turned around and caught sight of Becky and Mandy inside the car.

Dressed like a highborn lady, Mandy greeted neighbors with a smile while getting out of the car. Her eyes, however, were full of contempt.

She always considered herself to be superior than the rest of them. Every time she came back, it would remind her that once she wasn't a rich lady but just a country bumpkin from the impoverished mountains.

That's why she rarely came back.

This time only Becky and Mandy showed up. Mandy's husband had only come here once; at his wedding ceremony with Mandy.

"Mom, I'll go inside first, " Becky said to Mandy. Becky had driven Mandy here. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Aron's car and felt uncomfortable. Now she just wanted to hide and avoid being seen by somebody else.

"Wait, Becky. Come here, " Mandy stopped Becky, gesturing with her finger to come to her. Mandy was sensitive about her reputation too. Therefore, she had intended to show her daughter off to the neighbors. However, Becky walked into the house directly as if she didn't hear Mandy's words.

Mandy gave an awkward smile. However, the neighbors weren't annoyed at Becky's impolite behavior. "Becky looks more beautiful day by day. Last time you wrote to us and called the wedding off. What happened?" someone asked.

"Well, about that..." Mandy said hesitantly, looking a little embarrassed. She didn't know what to say to them. "They delayed it for an important reason. I will inform you of their wedding ceremony later, " Mandy explained.

"Why did you decide to postpone it all of a sudden?" the neighbor continued. "Mandy, I am telling you that you must urge Becky to get married as soon as possible. You know our traditions. See, Isla is almost 30 but she is still unmarried. You can't let Becky follow her bad example, " she advised.

"Yes, you're right. I will talk to her later, " Mandy returned. Mandy felt like she would end up spilling the beans if she stayed there. "Well... I need to see my mother. I've missed her so much. I will see you later, tonight, " she said.

Mandy was in a haste to get inside the house. "I get it now, " Kay cried out while patting her thigh, as she looked at Mandy's back.

"Kay, what's wrong? What are you trying to say?" a few neighbors asked, as they walked up to Kay.

"I know where I have seen that man. Did you forget him? He came here with Isla four years ago. We were told that they were going to get married, " Kay said with a sneer.

"Now I remember him. At that time, they were in an intimate relationship, but then, didn't he fall in love with Becky?" a woman asked.
