Chapter 183 I Will Never Be Your Bridesmaid
Mandy also got Becky's point quickly, and with a bitter smile, said to Aron standing in front of her,
"Aron, do you still love Isla? Perhaps it is time for you to come around. You are getting married to
Becky soon. And we have already sent wedding invitations to our friends and relatives. It is now written
in stone and nothing can change that. So don't bother with your struggles. Forget that woman and don't
do anything to hurt my daughter for I assure you that I will never let you go!"
"Mom, don't talk to Aron like that. Be kind." Becky cunningly glanced at Mandy, and pretended to side
with Aron like an understanding wife. "I have known him for many years and I know exactly what kind
of man he is. Now that he has chosen to marry to me, he will be responsible for the rest of my life.
Right, Aron?"
Aron kept a straight face all throughout. Then he laughed scornfully as she finished talking. "Well, that's
okay. She can be the bridesmaid if you have her agreement. It is all up to you. I don't care, " replied
Aron with a cold tone.
Overcome with joy, Becky's eyes flickered. "Aron, you are so understanding. Thank you."
Stepping forward, Becky took Aron's hands. All of her doubts about his real purpose to marry her have
vanished. "Mom, could you ask Isla to come in right now? I want to share this good news with her. I am
sure she will be glad to share this happiness with me, " said Becky cheerfully.
Aron's brow furrowed into a deep crease. Becky must not suspect a thing. He didn't withdraw his
hands, allowing her to hold his hands tightly.
Mandy proudly went out to the yard and brought Isla as well as her parents back to the living room. She
did not tell them the reason why she brought them in. As soon as they entered the room, John asked,
"Mandy, do you know what brought us here today? We came here for the sake of my daughter, Isla."
John paused but then continued, "Isla is my daughter and I know her well. She is a kind girl, and she
never offends others, let alone hurts people. I am able to understand why others don't believe her. But
you are her aunt. Why don't you believe her either? We are family. Do you really think she is a girl who
would hurt people deliberately?" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Brother, don't be so anxious. Please listen to me first. As for that accident, I have..." Mandy had
become too complacent. She had merely thought to ask Isla to be Becky's bridesmaid but forgot the
real reason why John came today.
Everything would be ruined if John said something he shouldn't say in front of Aron's grandfather who
was also there.
"Brother, calm down and don't worry. I will..."
John did not let Mandy continue. "Isla took Aron back home, met all of our relatives and even almost
got married four years ago. I am sure you knew about it at that time. Unfortunately something
happened between Aron and Becky and Isla went through the most miserable time of her life. But you
never heard anything from us. We have learned to let it go. We don't care whom Becky marries,
because it is her right and her own decision. But leave my daughter out of this. I know her well. She
would never hurt people, let alone Aron's grandmother. I will not allow anyone to smear her name. As
her father, I will protect her. You will have to go through me."
"Becky, what he is talking about? What does he mean? I've never heard this before. He just said Aron
almost got married to Isla. Is that true?" Mike looked at Becky and asked in total confusion.
Becky, her face filled with embarrassment, couldn't reply immediately, because she knew that she
would give herself away if she did. Instead, Becky went to Isla and said, "Sister, it was just a
misunderstanding. I have been with Aron for four years and we are getting married soon. Would you
like to be my bridesmaid? I hope you would share this joy with us." said Becky.
John was too preoccupied with his own thoughts and it took him a little while to notice that there were
other people in the room. When he saw Aron also standing there, John stepped forward with a frown
and said, "You are Aron, aren't you? I haven't seen you for four years."
"Yes, it's me, Uncle John." Aron was respectful in front of John. But John was not moved by his
politeness. This was the man who hurt his daughter immensely. He had not forgiven him.
"I actually did not want to meet you again. You broke Isla's heart once. Why are you trying to hurt her
again?" John paused then burst into a sneer. "You have known Isla for a long time. What kind of girl do
you think she is? Do you really believe that she would hurt your grandmother? She is such a kind girl!
She won't hurt anyone."
"Uncle John, I..." Aron was unable to answer John at that moment, because Mandy and Becky were
also around and they should not suspect him. If that happened, his grandma's condition could worsen.
"Brother, I have explained it to Aron. It was just an accident. We are going to be family with him soon
and we will not be pressing any charges. I can assure you that." Mandy hastily stepped towards John.
"But today is a happy day for Aron and Becky, so let's not make any more trouble, okay?"
Becky also took Isla's hands and cheerfully said, "Sister, you agree to be my bridesmaid, right? You
must wish us both a happy life."
"Becky, you have gone too far!" Isla was furious. "I don't care who you are going to marry. But I will
never be your bridesmaid. So you'd better stop dreaming."
"Aron..." Becky turned to Aron looking for sympathy, "Look at Isla. She said she will never be my
bridesmaid. Help me persuade her."
Becky then continued, "I have been abroad with you for so many years that I lost contact with my
friends. If she declines to be my bridesmaid, I don't know who else to ask."
Aron didn't expect Becky to ask him to persuade Isla to be her bridesmaid. How could he make such a
request to Isla if not to intentionally hurt her? He asked her to trust him and promised that he would
handle this not long ago. But now, two days later, he was going to get married to another woman. He
went back on his words in such a short span of time.
Isla waited. Will Aron make such an unreasonable request?
"Aron, help me persuade Isla please." Becky was behaving like a spoiled brat. Becky held Aron's
hands.
Aron merely stared at Isla without uttering a single word. Then Isla took the courage to ask, "Aron, do
you really want me to be Becky's bridesmaid?" asked Isla, her eyes filled with sadness.
But Aron still remained silent, so she continued, "If that is what you want, for me to be her bridesmaid, I
will agree without a moment's hesitation. Please say something."
Becky smiled triumphantly and nudged Aron, "Do you hear that, Aron? As long as you give your nod,
she will agree to be my bridesmaid. Say it. She will listen to you."
Aron was split, but finally said, "Isla, now that Becky wants you to be her bridesmaid, you..." He
paused, his lips pressing into a thin line. "Could you please be her bridesmaid?" Aron finally asked in a
very low voice while his heart sank with unfathomable bitterness.
