The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 358

Despite knowing the result, Aaron still felt the pinch of discomfort. Though the two elderly were quite old, they still had to worry about the family of their son. However, the selfish and self-absorbed Colin and his parents did not bother to even thank them let alone expressing gratitude. Instead, they took the elders' money for granted, which made Aron quite distressed.

"Is this true? Then I guess congratulations are in order, " Aron said rather sarcastically. "Why don't you come back and pack your things, since such a fortunate thing has happened with you?"

"Why should I be in a rush?" Colin smiled maliciously. "My mom will help me to deal with that as well. Hunger breeds discontentment. I'm hungry now and I have to eat something."

Colin then looked at Isla, and asked, "What's your name, beauty?"

Without responding to his question, Isla just stared quietly at Colin.

Isla remained silent for every question Colin asked her next. Then she blatantly ignored his imposing presence and happily chatted with Aron. Even though Colin wanted to say something, no one paid any attention towards him, which was driving him crazy.

"Hey! I'm talking to the both of you. Have you suddenly lost your ability to speak and hear?" Colin could not bear being neglected, so to make them aware of his presence he furiously shouted at them.

Isla still pretended not hearing his roar and continued talking to Aron, "This restaurant is actually pretty good. We can come here again soon."

"Sure." Aron felt content and happy upon noticing the building anger and anxiety on Colin's face.

Aron wiped the corners of his mouth with a paper napkin, and then asked Isla, "Are you full? If you have finished your meal, then let's leave."

"That sounds good." Isla nodded as she stood up and walked right to the corridor. However, Aron remained seated near the window as he could not come out without passing Colin. "Excuse me, "

Aron said to him in a cold and harsh tone.

Finally, Colin got a chance to vent his frustration. He smugly said, "Huh? Weren't you pretend to be blind? Why would you ask me for permission to leave? This seems impossible."

"Mr. Chen?" Isla gave Colin a cold and blank stare. "Everyone should have a clear estimation of himself. As for you, can't you see that you are not welcomed here?"

"What an eloquent woman you are! No wonder Becky lost Aron to you, " Colin said scornfully. "I'm afraid you don't even know who Becky is. Let me tell you. She's Aron's ex-girlfriend. They almost got married. Oh, how could I forget that Becky once had Aron's baby? She also helped him take care of his grandparents for four years while they lived abroad. How brutal Aron is that he got rid of such a wonderful girl!"

Colin then mocked her, "Don't hang onto Aron and heap hope on dreams of your future. He might flirt with you and even make you feel special. But he is just playing with you, just like he played with Becky."

After he finished speaking, Isla did not react, as she knew very clearly as to what had happened between Becky and Aron.

Upon seeing Isla's emotionless face, Colin was very unhappy. In an attempt to get some reaction, he casually added, "If he leaves you, feel free to come to me. There is an advantage when it comes to being with me, I appreciate and respect girls.

I might have some interest in you."
