The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 314 What's Wrong With You Two

She wasn't surprised to see Isla and Aron here together. She didn't want to stay at home and didn't

want to be in conflict with anyone. But Mandy just ruined everything, and ruined every piece of her fairy

tale.

Of course Becky would not give up so easily; she was just looking for a better chance to take her

revenge.

"Becky, why do you say that? I am doing this all for you." Mandy asked in disbelief at her daughter's

reaction.

Becky sneered, "Oh, come on, you are acting like that because you have just been humiliated."

She shook off Mandy's hands, "I cannot stand being humiliated anymore. You can stay here as long as

you want. But I'm leaving now."

"Where are you going?" Mandy asked.

"I'm going home!"

Mandy caught up with Becky. With some hesitation, she decided to go as well. "Wait for me, I'll go with

you."

With what just happened, there was no more reason for them to stay any longer. The obvious choice

was to leave to save face. Mandy knew it already, but was just looking for the chance to go.

Kay wanted to stir up more trouble and shouted at Mandy who was about to step out the door, "Where

are you going? It's your mother's birthday. Are you going to leave like that?"

Mandy staggered and almost fell down, but then she tried to keep her composure and left with Becky.

Seeing them leave, Jina went up to check on Aron. "How are you feeling? A lot has happened to you

today."

"I'm fine, Aunt Jina." Aron was kicked several times and got scratched when Mandy was going ballistic.

But it was no big deal for him.

"I knew it was going to be hard for you today, but you know, it's a small village. If things were not

cleared up between you and Becky, Isla would always be humiliated whenever she walks the streets

here. I can't let her suffer like that. She is my beloved daughter." She smiled bitterly at Aron.

"Isla, there is some ointment in the room. Could you get some for Aron? Afterwards, come to the dining

room. It is time for us to have dinner together." Jina told her daughter.

Isla was quiet, taking Aron into the room. She watched him take his shirt off. When she saw the large

bruises on his back, she burst out crying, "Why are you so silly? Why didn't you protect yourself from

Aunt Mandy?"

"Don't worry. I'm fine." Aron laughed and said, "What's the big deal with these?"

"But......" Isla frowned, "But I...... worry about you so much."

"My silly girl." Aron laughed. "If this is what it takes so that those two evil women would never bother us

again..."

"Please don't cry and give me some of that cream. People outside are waiting for us." Aron comforted

his fiancee.

Without Mandy and Becky, dinner was peaceful. The neighbors all congratulated Jina, saying Isla and

Aron were made for each other. They had forgotten that they were the same people who said Isla was

nothing compared to Becky.

Jina could not help laughing, seeing how everything was now. Isla suddenly could understand why Jina

insisted in bringing Aron along.

She even felt relieved massively, after what happened.

Isla and Aron stayed in their hometown for one night. In the morning of the next day, Isla got up early to

prepare breakfast for the family. They were going back to the city today, so Isla urged John and Jina to

start packing again.

"Mom, please hurry up. You are moving as slowly as when we came here." Isla looked at them with

much frustration.

"Isla......" John stood in front of Isla and said, "I talked with your mom last night. We are not going back

to the city."

"What?" Isla was stunned for a bit and frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Too many things had happened, and we came to spend more time with you and take care of your diet

and living, but......" Jina paused for a moment and said to Isla, "Now since you have Aron to take care Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

of you, we don't have to worry. So we discussed it and decided not to go back."

No wonder they packed so many things coming here. They had already made up their minds to just

stay here indefinitely.

She blamed herself for not realizing it soon enough.

"But, mother......" Isla was trying to say something else but was interrupted by Jina. She smiled and

said to Isla, "Just go back with Aron. Your father and I could not get used to life there in the city. We are

more comfortable living here in the village. And your grandmother still needs care. Hurry up."

Jina urged her to go back to the city. Isla had nothing else to say. She left with Aron.

Autumn was bored as Isla was not at the office.

Charles was still busy with his own work and Chris stayed with Sam all the time since they confirmed

their relationship. The only thing left for Autumn to do, besides visiting grandmother, was to stay at

home.

Charles came out early and returned late every day. She could not see him at all.

As the day was almost over, Autumn could not help calling him to have dinner together.

After he picked up the phone, Charles said that he would try his best to come back for dinner. So

Autumn was very excited. She went to the market herself and came back to prepare dinner. She was

busy all afternoon, but she did n't see Charles even after end of the dinner time.

No one answered the phone when she called again. Looking at the table with all dishes, Autumn was

not interested at all.

"Autumn, has Charles come back?" Gary was watching Autumn get busy all afternoon, but not a catch

for Charles after this long. He also felt Charles went a bit far.

"Not yet." Autumn laughed and said to Gary, "Grandpa, wait for me. It won't take a second. I'm going to

heat up the meal. Let's eat it instead of waiting for him."

Although Autumn tried her best to be happy, Gary still could tell that she was not. She was very

depressed, and it showed in her eyes.

Autumn went to heat up the meal without another word. She fell into silence as they had dinner

together. Gary could no longer stand it, so he asked, "Autumn, what's wrong with you and Charles

recently? I have not seen him in a long time. Are you two fighting?"

"No, grandpa. We are not." Autumn frowned. It would be much simpler if it was just an argument.

Unfortunately, there hadn't been a chance to even quarrel now. "Charles has been very busy. He

always gets up early and returns late. We are both fine, though. Don't worry about it, grandpa."
