Chapter 208 Coming Home


    After he left I Zhao''s office, Aron Gu received a phone call from Becky Zhang, who somehow


    received word that he was here. "Aron, I was told that you were in I Zhao''s office. Why the hell did


    you go there? Did she say anything bad about me?"


    Becky arranged an informant outside I''s office because she was concerned about the rtionship


    between Aron and I. When she got word from her informant, she couldn''t wait to call Aron and ask


    him about what happened.


    "I am telling you, my cousin is very jealous of the fact that we are getting married, so she''s desperately


    trying to nder me. Please don''t believe a word of what she says." Becky was very nervous to clear


    her rtionship, while Aron remained silence all the while.


    Becky waited for a long while and when she didn''t hear a word from Aron, she asked carefully, "Aron?


    What''s wrong with you? Why aren''t you talking to me?"


    "Becky, did you ask someone to spy on me?" The mere thought of it gave him a panic attack. If Becky


    did send someone to spy on him, there was a chance she might have found out what had happened to


    Joanna.


    ''No, it can''t be. If Becky had known about it, she wouldn''t have made this phone call, '' Aron thought to


    himself.


    "No..." Becky hurried to exin herself and said, "I trust you, Aron. I don''t need to send anyone to spy


    on you." I just have a friend in I''s office. She saw you there and told me about it. Please don''t think


    otherwise."


    Aron didn''t want to continue with the conversation. He said to Becky, "I am busy right now. Got to hang


    up."


    For the time being, Aron had no intention of revealing Becky''s lies. He decided to wait until Joanna got


    better.


    Aron went home to take a shower and change his clothes. During this time, he missed a number of


    phone calls from Simon Gu. Simon had been waiting for him at the house for quite some time and was


    getting a little concerned about Aron''s whereabouts.


    "Simon,e over and have a seat, " said Wendy Ye. She was annoyed at the way Simon was acting.


    Aron Gu had been away from his family for a very long time. During his absence, it was Wendy and


    Yvonne who stayed and took care of Simon. She thought that Yvonne and herself were the most


    important people in the world to Simon, but unfortunately, it seemed that in Simon''s heart, his son


    meant more.


    From the day Simon found out that Aron hade back, he seemed to be a little reserved with Wendy.


    Every wording out of his mouth was about Aron.


    Although Wendy was filled with anger, she didn''t dare to say anything.


    "Ever since he was a little boy Aron has been very considerate. He will show up for sure, since he


    made that promise to you. You standing there waiting for him, isn''t going to help." Wendy said gently to


    Simon, "It''s quite windy outside. Come on, let''s go inside the house."


    "I am fine." Simonpletely ignored what Wendy had said as he stared into the distance through the


    door, and told her, "I''ll just wait here. You should go inside and start preparing the food. I want dinner to


    be ready when Aron gets home."


    "Dad, why are you so concerned about him? He is nothing but a thief. He doesn''t deserve your


    attention at all, " Yvonne leaned against the door andined to Simon.


    "Yvonne, stop your nonsense!" Wendy said to Yvonne with a cold face, "He is your brother. Watch your


    manners and apologize to your father now."


    "Mom..." Yvonne frowned and said. She didn''t understand why Wendy had put on such a loving act


    when she had no love for Aron at all.


    "Apologize, now!" said Wendy, as she winked at Yvonne. Yvonne reluctantly apologized to Simon,


    "Dad, I am sorry."


    Simon looked angry and irritated the whole time and only tookfort once Yvonne apologized. He


    said to Wendy, "See how you have spoiled our daughter. Where are her manners?"


    "Yes, yes, it''s all my fault." Wendy quickly answered, "I''ll talk to her afterwards."


    It''s been more than half an hour since Simon had been expecting Aron. However, there was still no


    sign of Aron. Wendy was secretly d to see this, but she remained calm and said to her husband,


    "Simon, let''s go inside and wait. It''s getting dark and windy. Aron won''t be happy if he sees you catch a


    cold."


    "You go ahead, I''ll wait a little while, " Simon refused. He had been waiting for Aron toe back for


    more than ten years; he didn''t mind waiting a little bit longer.


    An hour passed by. Simon thought that Aron wasn''t going to show up, until he saw Aron''s car pulling


    over in the driveway. His face lit up with a big smile.


    Simon rushed forward, "Let me take a good look at you, Aron." He grabbed Aron''s hands and said,


    "You look taller, and thinner."


    After so many years, Simon finally saw his own son standing in front of him. He couldn''t help


    you still remember me, your father?"


    "Father?" Aron said with a cold smile, "When did you ever treat me like a son?"


    Wendy stood by, embarrassed. She managed to put on a smile and said to the both of them, "Simon,


    please show Aron in first. Let''s continue our conversation inside. Aron must be hungry by now."


    "Yes, you''re right. Get inside, son." Simon quickly agreed with her. He was just happy to see his son


    back in the house.


    Yvonne silently stood aside with a cold face. When Aron passed by, she sneered and said to him, "Hey,


    I thought you were nevering back."


    "Will you please drop it!" Wendy patted Yvonne on her back and said to her, "We should all be grateful


    that your brother has finallye back home. Leave us alone and get out of the house if you have any


    problems with it. Just don''t make trouble with your father and your brother."


    Immediately, Yvonne stopped talking, as her face turned grey.


    Disregarding what Yvonne had said, Simon held Aron by his arm and showed him in. He asked,


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    delightedly, "Aron, we have renovated the house after you left. Does it look different now?"


    His happiness beamed from his smiling face. "We kept your room, just as the way you left it. You can


    "No, thanks." Aron gave a brittleugh and said to Simon, "I am just here to check on you today. It''s


    good to see that you are all right. But, I am noting back to live in this house."


    Simon''s face turned red all of a sudden. He asked Aron, "Do you...still me me?"


    "Come on, Aron. Your father has missed you a lot. It''s been a long time now and you should let go of


    the past." Wendy tried to help her husband out, as she tried to avoid talking about what had happened


    in the past. She tried to make Aron feel guilty for not forgiving Simon for his mistakes.


    "Please don''t say that." Aron said to Yvonne with a cold smile, "I haven''t seen you and Wendy for a


    long time. How have you been? You must have been very happy, since I was not around."


    "Please don''t say it like that, " Wendy answered with embarrassment. While Yvonne jumped in abruptly


    and returned fire, "Yeah, that''s right. We''ve been very happy without you here. I wish you''d nevere


    back."
