His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 206 Let Bygones Be Bygones

"My dear son, I beg you to come back home." Simon didn't really know how to get along with Aron;

That was the main reason behind their failed relationship.

"I have missed you, during your long absence from home. You should cast your displeasure to the

wind. I have asked Mandy to prepare your favorite dishes. Why don't you come home tonight?" Simon

pleaded to Aron on phone, "We'd better talk it over at home."

Aron's silence made Simon more anxious, "It has been so many years, have you still not forgiven me?"

"Let bygones be bygones. There is no point in asking me for my forgiveness, " Aron replied with great

composure, "But I think... there's also no need for us to see each other again. We should just treat

each other like strangers."

"My dear son!" Simon lost his self-control at Aron's indifference and cried out to him, "Now I've realized

my mistake in having failed your mother, and being overwhelmed by the growing sense of guilt.

Besides, I have also failed to care for you after your mother's death, and I left you in a state of

helplessness. It was all my fault."

Simon sighed and continued pleading, "Aron, you are my only son. After my death, you will inherit our

family estate, and you will be entrusted with the important duty of running the family company. At least,

come back home, even just to save my face."

Aron sniffled at his father's offer. In truth, Aron was hesitant to take over his father's distressed

company. But he had already promised Authur he would handle the task he was entrusted with.

Simon continued his appeal regardless of Aron's silence, "Anyway, I will wait for your return. Our home

address is still the same."

"Ok, but I'll have to check my schedule, " Aron replied. He hung up the call, and then went straight to

the company where Isla worked. It was worth mentioning that Isla worked overtime with Autumn to

implement the proposal from Mr. Hoada, without respite.

Isla was at a meeting when Aron arrived there. Aron decided to wait outside the conference room. The

first to come out was Autumn, who looked at Aron in amazement and said, "Surprised to see you here.

Have you come to talk to Isla?"

"Yes." Aron stood up with a gentle smile, "May I ask you a favor... Can you give Isla a break for just a

few minutes? I have something important to tell her."

"No worries... You are free to do so." As soon as Autumn finished talking, Isla gave her the cold

shoulder, "There is nothing to talk about between us!"

"Isla..." Autumn tugged Isla's dress and persuaded her, "You might as well settle things with Aron, since

he has come here at his own accord to show his sincerity. I can give you a short break for that."

"There's no need!" "I'd rather go to your office to discuss the new ideas I have regarding the proposal,

which I couldn't bring forth earlier due to time constraints."

Isla was unwilling to speak with Aron and had deliberately ignored him. Aron managed to pull Isla into

his arms and lift her up just as she was about to enter Autumn's office. Isla was too agitated to remain

composed, "Aron, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

"I will let go of you only if you are willing to listen to me." Aron held on to Isla firmly, who had noticed the

onlooker's gathering around and desperately resorted to Autumn's help, "Autumn! Please help me..."

Although Autumn completely understood Aron's sentiments, she found his behavior inappropriate.

Autumn furrowed her eye-brows and said, "Mr. Gu, why don't we... settle this in the office?"

If she had not resolved the issue on the spot, the other employees may have turned it into the latest hot

topic for office gossip.

Aron hesitated and then gently let go of Isla. Immediately Isla hid behind Autumn, "Autumn, quick! You

must have him removed from here. I don't want to see him again!"

"Take it easy, Isla." Autumn assured Isla by caressing her hand, and then turned to speak to Aron, "Mr.

Gu, since Isla does not want to speak with you alone... it would be best if I served as an onlooker while

the both of you chat in the office. What do you think?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Autumn sensed Isla's unwillingness to talk to Aron without her presence, so she suggested a

proposition which could clear away the misunderstanding between Isla and Aron.

"A good suggestion, indeed!" Aron's views accorded with Autumn's.

Autumn gently pushed open Isla's office door, when Isla whispered to Autumn with a look of aversion,

"Autumn, why are you doing this..."

"May be, Mr. Gu has something very important to tell you. There is no harm in hearing him out, "

Autumn comforted Isla.

Isla went silent, as Autumn shut the door after Aron had entered the room and said, "Mr. Gu, you are

free to speak to Isla. I am just a bystander now."

Autumn stood by Isla, who furrowed her eye-brows and cried out to Aron impatiently, "Go on then, talk!

We haven't got all day!"

"Isla, why must you talk to me in this way?" Aron was heavy-hearted, "I know that I've hurt you, but you

must know that I was acting against my will."

"You mean you acted out of necessity?" Isla replied with a sarcastic laugh, "Aron, I am sick of your

excuses. Becky would not have kept pestering you, had you not done something questionable."

Isla glared at Aron with contempt, "Enough with your double-dealing! I have learned from all the pain

you've inflicted upon me. I won't believe you anymore."

"Please let me finish what I want to say, " Aron implored Isla with his helpless eyes. However, this time

he had hurt Isla too deeply, and so all he got in return was her cold shoulder.

Aron hesitated but somehow managed to blurt out, "My grandma has recovered from her coma."

"Really? That is a fantastic news, indeed!" Isla was rendered speechless. She wasn't expecting to be

proven innocent, if not for Joanna's quick recovery.

As a matter of fact, most credit was due to Autumn, for the part she played in Joanna's recovery.

However, Autumn chose to remain quiet about her aid and took pleasure inwardly at Isla's exoneration.

"Aron, your grandma was thought to be comatose for the rest of her life. How did she..." Isla was at a

loss for words, but her eyes were filled up with tears of joy.

"It was all thanks to Miss Ye." Aron smiled at Autumn gratefully and said, "It was Miss Ye who

requested Doctor Authur to undertake the successful operation. Joanna would not have recovered

without the help of Autumn and Charles."
