The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 283 Worrying Aron

"I came here looking for you for two reasons. One is to personally apologize to you." Joanna looked at

Isla with sincerity, and said, "I feel sorry for what I did to you before. I was misled by Becky, and made

you suffer so much. I am here to make a sincere apology to you."

"Grandma Joanna, please don't do that." Isla had waited for this "apology" for such a long time, but

now that it was really happening, she felt weird and uncomfortable. It never felt like how she thought it

would be. She replied, "You were also kept in the dark from the beginning to the end. How could I

blame you?"

Joanna could now see that Isla was a considerate girl. Why did she use to think of her as a scheming

bitch?"

"Isla, I am such a thoughtless old woman. I am. How should I believe Becky's words full of lies and

loopholes." Joanna gave her a bitter smile. It was because Becky's "perfect" acting led her to make

such a mistake.

"It's not your fault, Grandma Joanna." Isla smiled with tenderness, and continued to ask, "Today you

come here ... only to apologize to me? If so, it's really unnecessary. I have actually forgotten about it."

"And the other reason is ......" Joanna was hesitant whether to continue. Joanna glanced at Isla with a

guilty conscience. She seemed too embarrassed to mention it. After a while, she continued, "Is that

your boyfriend?"

"Oh, are you talking about Stephen?" Isla was a little amazed at Joanna's question, and she shook her

head at once, "No, he is not..... yet. I'm not young any longer, so my parents are pressuring me to get

married. I have been going on blind dates these days, and the boy you see is my blind date today. "

Isla smiled but with a bit of embarrassment to Joanna. She added, "He is kind to me, and I also like it

when he is around. But I want to make friends with him first."

After hearing Isla's explanation, Joanna felt a little awkward. Isla has begun to move on and look for a

new life that totally belonged to her. Unfortunately, Aron was still immersed in the last relationship,

failing to free himself. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Aron got completely drunk last night. She hadn't seen Aron lose himself drinking during the years when

they lived together. She was the one who made everything into a mess. As a result, Joanna thought it

was a must for her to visit Isla so that she could make up for her mistakes.

No matter what difficulties there would be, she should try her best to overcome them.

"Grandma Joanna, if you have some words to speak to me, just go ahead." Isla noticed Joanna

appearing embarrassed, so she asked Joanna on her own.

On hearing that, Joanna simply dropped all her shyness. She raised up her head, saying, "Isla, in fact,

it is hard for me to tell you the second reason why I come here for you. But for my grandson who has

failed me and his happiness, I have to have a word with you."

As soon as Isla heard what Joanna said, she knew that the following words that come from her mouth

would have something to do with Aron. Considering this, Isla couldn't help her heart beating loud. But

she still pretended to be composed, and replied, "Yes? What's the matter?"

"Before I came here today, I have well organized the words that I planned to tell you. But now, as I

really sit in front you, I have no idea what to say." Joanna smiled with bitterness. After some hesitation,

she eventually decided to talk to Isla, "I previously didn't know how your relationship with Aron was

going, but last night, I thought I began to understand Aron's feelings."

"Isla, Aron is truly fond of you. After he came to see you yesterday, he didn't come back until this

morning. He came back, drunk. He was muttering something to himself. And it was your name he was

muttering after I carefully made it out." Joanna glanced at Isla, adding, "I must pay the price for the

mistakes that I made previously, rather than to win your sympathy. You love Aron, too, as I know, or you

won't remain single after you broke up with him. Without any involvement from me, you two should

have rekindled your relationship when Aron came back from abroad."

Isla took a spoon to stir the coffee slowly, trying to ease her discomfort. After a while, she raised her

head and said, "Grandma Joanna, you are right. I used to really like Aron a lot before, but ......"

"But what?" Joanna asked.

"But ...... I have ended my relationship with him. There is no one to blame. What I can only say is that

perhaps we are not destined to be together." Isla smiled bitterly, and told her real feelings to the elderly

woman.

"But, Isla, you still love him, don't you?" Joanna felt the heat go across her face. She continued, "At that

time, you were forced to break up with each other due to my meddling. I really feel so sorry. I give you

my sincere apologies. Could you please reunite with him? For us? For my sake?"

"Grandma Joanna ....." Isla had no choice but to look at Mrs. Joanna. She explained, "It's not your fault

at all. I just think it will be too exhausting if I choose to continue my relationship with Aron."

"Are you so resolute?" Joanna looked at Isla, frowning. "Aron has suffered so much for you. Do you

really have the heart to let him go this way?"

"Grandma, don't worry about him. It won't take long before he gets better." Isla smiled calmly, "It's been

four years since I broke up with Aron. I admit that I have never forgotten him. But as you can see, I am

taking an active part in blind dates because I want to move on with my life. I don't want to be a slave to

what happened four years ago. Aron will realize this sooner or later."

Isla stood up and said with politeness, "Grandma Joanna, if you have nothing else to say, I think it's

time for me to leave now. I have to deal with other affairs."

Taking her handbag, Isla was about to leave. She had only taken a few steps when Joanna started

crying behind her, "Isla, Aron is now in the hospital. Don't you still care about him?"

Isla was shocked and couldn't say anything. She stopped and turned around. She asked Joanna,

"What are you saying?"

"I say Aron now is in the hospital. Have you really lost all love and care for him?" Joanna answered

with tears in her eyes.

"What happened to him?" Isla sounded worried, "But why? Why is he in the hospital? Is it serious?"

Hearing that Aron was in hospital, Isla's heart softened. She asked Joanna nervously, which completely

unmasked her care for Aron at the same time.

A ray of hope and joy glistened through Joanna's eyes, but she remained calm on the surface. She

asked Isla, "You seem not to care about my grandson any more, do you?"

"What's the matter with him, Grandma Joanna? What happened?" She held Joanna's hands tightly,

without noticing the nuance of Joanna's expression.
