His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 204 The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

"You two need to stop quarrelling right now. Don't make a scene here, " Aron said to his grandparents

calmly, who were arguing with each other. "Grandma, you don't have to worry about anything. I assure

you that I won't marry Becky."

Joanna was relieved by Aron's words. 'If Aron marries Becky because of me, I will have to carry the

guilt for the rest of my life. Even after death, I won't find solace, ' thought Joanna.

"Aron, what do you mean? I am totally confused, " asked his grandpa. Mike frowned, and asked him,

"Haven't you already given your consent to marry Becky? Now you're telling me that you are not going

to go through with it. Don't you know that your wedding invitations have already been sent out. Do you

want to make a laughingstock of me?" Mike felt anxious and irritated at Aron.

"Are you muddle-headed? You are only thinking of your prestige and social status but you're not taking

Aron's happiness into consideration. Have you considered the consequences of Aron marrying a

woman he does not love? How do you expect him to spend the rest of his life together with such a

person? Do you think he will be happy?" Joanna scolded Mike.

Mike was puzzled and confused at what was going on. Angrily, Mike asked Joanna, "Are you being

serious Joanna? Aron is still young, so I can understand that he may be bewildered sometimes, but

you are experienced enough. What excuse do you have for acting the same way as him? Do you really

hope for Aron to get married to Isla?"

"I think Isla is a good girl. What's wrong with her?" Joanna replied calmly. Mike was completely

shocked to hear this come from Joanna, since she had an abrupt about-turn over Isla in such a short

span of time.

Joanna hated Isla very much at first, but now she said that Isla was a good girl. 'What happened to

her?' Mike wondered.

"Grandma..." Aron furrowed his eye-brows. Hearing what Joanna had said, gave him the answer to

what he was looking for. He believed that his conjecture on the matter was accurate. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"It was Becky who pushed you down, right?" Aron asked directly. He would have waited until Joanna

had rested before talking about it, but now that she had mentioned it, Aron wanted to get to the bottom

of the matter, sooner rather than later.

He knew Isla well enough. Although Mandy said that they weren't going to press any charges against

Isla, Aron understood that Isla must have been upset for being treated unjustly. Isla must be unhappy,

because she was innocent of the false accusations made against her.

The more Aron thought about it, the more guilty he felt for Isla. But now it was time for him to prove her

innocence to the public.

"Don't talk nonsense here! I can see that you've been brainwashed by that woman. But how can you be

so thoughtless? Have you gone mad?" Mike scolded Aron harshly. "How would a girl like Becky hurt

your grandmother?" Mike asked furiously.

"Why are you asking me this?" Joanna didn't reply to him directly but asked him for justifications since

she wanted to know Aron's opinion on this.

Actually, she was still reluctant to ferret out the truth, after all Becky had taken care of them for a long

time. It was an undeniable fact.

If Aron trusted Isla unconditionally, Joanna was determined to hide this truth from him.

"Grandma, I believe that Isla would not hurt you. It doesn't matter whether you like her or not; she is the

only woman I love in this world. I had been with her for a long time and even though she found me in

bed with Becky, she just left silently, without saying anything. If she really was a heartless person, she

wouldn't have waited four years to exact her revenge on me. Grandma, please try to remember. Did

Becky ask you to find Isla that day?"

Joanna tried to recall the scenes from that day. She furrowed her brows as soon as she came to a

sudden realization. Although, Becky didn't directly encourage her to find Isla, she had already planned

on tricking Joanna into looking for Isla, before she picked her up for lunch.

Joanna frowned at the thought of this, while Aron read the expression on her face and figured out what

had happened that day in Isla's office.

"To be frank, I have never suspected Isla since the day you were in the hospital, unconscious. Dr.

Zhao, the doctor who performed the operation on you, is an acquaintance of Isla's friend. He is a highly

sought after doctor and it would have been beyond my capabilities to have him undertake your

operation, if not for Isla. Do you think she would help me find Dr. Zhao, if she didn't care about you?

Mike had found himself at a loss for words, as Aron's justifications now started to sound reasonable.

He furrowed his brows into a crease, because he still couldn't accept the truth. How could Becky hurt

Joanna so deliberately? "How could it be possible? Becky has been here to take care of your grandma

ever since the accident. She has always been so kind and considerate. How could she do such a

thing?" Mike tried to speak for Becky.

"Grandpa, I know that Becky is always here to take care of grandma, but it is not because she cares

about her health. The real reason is that she is afraid that grandma will expose her lies once she wakes

up, " Aron explained, with a bitter smile on his face.

Mike frowned silently and reluctantly, as he found it difficult to swallow the bitter truth.

"Aron... Are you sure? You are not kidding me, right?" Joanna looked serious and solemn as well.

"Grandma, when you were unconscious, Becky insisted that it was Isla who hurt you that day and

absolved herself from any responsibility. But what makes me even more angry is that she pretends to

be magnanimous and said that she wouldn't press any charges against Isla. Moreover, she even

disrespected Isla by asking her to be her bridesmaid. Do you still think she is a kind person? What a

vicious woman! I've asked grandpa not to tell Becky that you are awake, because I am afraid that she

will cook up some new problems once she gets the news." Both Joanna and Mike turned silent from

the shock of what they had just heard from Aron.

"But... But your wedding invitations have been sent out to our relatives and friends. If you are going to

cancel this wedding..." Mike stopped mid-sentence. He was still skeptical about the whole situation

because he believed that Becky would never do such a thing.

"Mike, why are you still concerned about your social standing right now? Isn't Aron's happiness more

important to you?" Joanna tried to persuade Mike to be clear-headed. "No matter who Aron decides to

get married to, it won't be Becky."

Joanna recalled the scenes that took place in Isla's office that day. Becky was so ashamed and

humiliated at what Isla had said to her that she lost control of herself in anger and pushed down

Joanna abruptly.

"I have one last thing to ask you, " Joanna got serious and said to Aron, "I want to know if Becky was

really pregnant four years ago. Tell me, Aron."

Mike got even more furious after hearing this.

Now that Joanna had been aware of it, Aron decided not to hide the truth from them anymore. He had

to tell them the whole story clearly because he wanted to get rid of Becky and their fictitious wedding as

soon as possible.

"Grandpa, do you remember the other day when you asked me if I had been with Becky before?

Although I told you the truth, I didn't tell you the whole story. The day I found myself lying in bed with

Becky, I went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor found a few overpowering drug

traces in my body. And since then I began to suspect that it was Becky who had meticulously planned

everything all along. I still have the medical report with me and if you want to have a look, I can show it

to you at any time, " said Aron.

He paused for a moment and then went on, "I wanted to come back four years ago when grandma was

getting better, but as soon as Becky found out that I was planning on returning, she told me that she

was pregnant, out of the blue. However, after our confrontation, she had an inexplicable miscarriage. I

didn't say anything even though I was doubtful at the time, because I didn't think she would dare to joke

about such matters.

I even felt sorry for her during that time, so I decided not to return and stayed abroad instead. But then

it felt strange that she didn't look upset or remorseful after her miscarriage. And ever since then, I

doubted whether she was really pregnant or not, " explained Aron.
