The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 302 I Can't Let It Go

Coincidently, Aron was going to meet Isla's parents at Fu Ji Restaurant today. Sam and his parents arrived at Fu Ji Restaurant first, followed by Chris and Gary. Autumn and Charles arrived at around 6 pm and they were the last.

"Charles," Chris greeted while standing up first, as Charles and Autumn entered the compartment. She walked up to them, took Autumn's hand and sat her down next to herself. She was so nervous that she wanted to sit beside Autumn.

"Take a seat here," Jamie said to Charles. Jane sat beside Jamie, silently. Perhaps she was worried that Charles might still be blaming her for her rude behavior towards Autumn the other day. She remained silent because she was afraid that she would say something wrong and destroy Sam's marriage to Chris.

As Sam had already ordered the food, they started to eat in a merry atmosphere. Charles drank with Jamie and they had a pleasant conversation. They almost finished their meal, but no one had mentioned anything about the wedding. Jane was starting to lose her patience.

"Don't forget why we came here," Jane reminded Jamie in a low voice, pulling his sleeve with hesitation.

"I know," Jamie nodded at her. "Mr. Lu, we came here to discuss Sam's marriage with Chris. I want to know your thoughts on the matter. If you agree, we can begin with preparations for their wedding. We have planned to fix their wedding ceremony next spring. What do you think?" Jamie said to Charles.

Sam's parents stared at the Lu family nervously. They feared that the Lu family might oppose to Chris and Sam's wedding, because of Jane's offensive behavior towards Autumn.

"Sam is our only son. When they get married, we'll treat Chris as our own daughter. We'll try to meet all your expectations," Jane added hurriedly.

"I consent to their union," Charles responded. "Now that Chris loves him, we will support her decision. You can take charge of their wedding affairs."

"I'm on the same page with Charles, " Gary laughed with delight. "I'm old now, so I won't be of any help to you, but you can discuss the wedding matters with Chris."

In general, their meeting went smoothly. Chris acted in an amiable and sensible manner. When she heard what Charles and Gary had said, she felt very relieved.

On the contrary, back to Isla, things didn't go so well. Aron had come alone, without his grandparents there. There were only four people in the spacious compartment, including Isla, her parents and Aron.

Aron waited for the Zhao family for half an hour in the compartment. Isla had urged Jina to leave home early, but it seemed like she was trying to be late on purpose.

"Sorry, we're late," Isla said to Aron, as she and her parents entered the compartment. John nodded at Aron, while Jina wore a grim look on her face; she didn't even greet him.

"It's okay. Please take a seat, "Aron said, getting up. Aron was in a haste to pull the chair for Jina. After she sat down, he did the same for Isla. "Aunt, Isla, here is the menu. Please order whatever you like." He turned to Jina and Isla, handing the menu to them.

Jina read the menu for a long time, and she saw that the food there was expensive. As she was still cross with Aron, she ordered the most expensive dishes. "Mom, that's enough. The four of us can't eat so much," Isla advised Jina, as she noticed the price of the dishes Jina had ordered.

"I'm not done yet," Jina replied, staring at Isla with dissatisfaction. "You haven't married him yet. Are you trying to save money for him now?"

"Mom..." Isla muttered as her cheeks reddened. 'I didn't mean it, ' thought Isla to herself.

"It's okay, Isla," said Aron. He then turned to Jina and said, "Aunt, please feel free to order whatever you like."

Jina's heart gladdened when she heard Aron's words. She ordered several dishes before putting the menu back on the table. "I heard from Isla that you had a gastric perforation. Wine isn't good for your health Just order some corn juice," Jina said with a frown before John could reply, when Aron asked John if he would like some wine.

"Corn juice is fine," John followed with a smile.

Isla and Aron rejoiced at Jina's words. At least Jina cared about Aron, which meant that Jina might also agree to their being together now.

After finishing the orders, Aron poured a cup of hot tea for each of them. "Aunt, please have some tea," he said to Jina respectfully.

"Yeah," Jina responded coldly. "Isla told me about what had happened that day. As her mother, I appreciate what you've done for her, even when you were in poor health. I agreed to dine with you because I wanted to thank you in person," she continued with a serious look.

"Aunt Jane, please don't be so formal with me. I just did what I thought was right, "Aron returned humbly. Aron had always treated Isla's parents in a humble manner. 'After all, I was the one to abandon Isla first. I owe it to them. It's natural for them to be upset with me,' he thought.

"But..." Jina raised her voice. "Although we are grateful to you, we'll never allow you to be with Isla again," she said in a firm tone after a moment's pause.

"Mom..." Isla turned to Jina with an embarrassed look, pulling Jina's sleeve in an attempt to stop her. "Everyone thought that you were going to marry Becky, but suddenly you've decided to get back with Isla. Don't you replace that a bit concerning?" Jina continued as she shook off Isla's hand.

Isla almost lost her temper when she heard Jina's words. Aron gave her a quick glance and hinted at her to compose herself. In fact, he was ready to be scolded by Jina.

"Aunt Jina, you're right. Isla is a good girl, "Aron returned calmly. "But I'm done with Becky. Isla has always been the one I love truly. I swear that I'll treat her with love and care no matter what happens. Please give me one more chance, " Aron pleaded.

"Give you one more chance?" Jina sneered. "We had already given you a chance, but you wasted it."

After a pause, she continued, "When your grandma got hurt, Isla had suffered a lot of humiliation. I can't let that go."
