Chapter 155 You Must Marry Her


    "At first, I also thought that her pregnancy was a result of the night we slept together in a drunken


    stupor... butter I realized that none of it made any sense. Somnolence and morning sickness are the


    mostmon symptoms a pregnant woman should have. However, she showed no signs of having


    any such symptoms. Perhaps, she had discovered that I was investigating her, so she dered her


    miscarriage shortly afterwards, in order to clear herself of my suspicions." Aron''s grandparents had


    scolded him because of Becky''s miscarriage. But for Aron, Becky''s deration of miscarriage had


    instead confirmed his spection about her fake pregnancy.


    He knew that Becky was determined on marrying him. So he presumed that if Becky did, in fact, get


    pregnant, she would have done everything in her powers to keep the baby, to use it as a bargaining


    chip to marry herself into the Gu family. It just made no sense that she had had a miscarriage so easily.


    "What happened then?" I had also begun to grow suspicious of the whole thing after hearing Aron''s


    words.


    "I had tried very hard to uncover the truth. To get more information, I tried to contact the doctor


    responsible for Becky''s pregnancy test, only to find that she had bought the doctor off. The doctor then


    skipped town. In order to gather evidence against her, I spent four years living abroad. It was not until


    very recently that something finally came to my attention. It so happened that there was some business


    to talk over back home, so I grabbed the chance and returned." He said to I, gently taking her hand.


    He had been nning to reveal all of these to her for years, and now he finally got the chance to do so,


    personally. "I, I''ll admit that it was my fault for going abroad without even saying good-bye back then.


    But please, believe me when I say this, I have always loved you and dreamed of getting married to you.


    Now that we have cleared up all the confusion, will you..."


    "I''m afraid it''s toote now." I said with a forced smile, "Everyone knows that you are Becky''s fiance.


    You two have been together for four years. Whatever has happened, it is now your responsibility to


    marry her. If I disregard everyone else and insist on marrying you, I will surely be a target of

    public criticism. I really cannot afford to lose my dignity over this again."


    "So you are willing to give up on us without a fight?" Aron frowned, "I have never epted Becky to be


    my girlfriend. That was all her doing."


    "But your family has already epted her, and... even my rtives back in my hometown know about


    your rtionship." I had not been seeing anybody else in the past four years, and because of that,


    every time she went back to her hometown, she would have to face her family''s criticisms. From their


    point of view, I should have already found herself a boyfriend to be in a stable rtionship with,


    instead of trying toe in between Becky and Aron. Besides, they liked Becky more than I, so if


    she were to take Aron back, she wouldn''t have been weed back to her hometown ever.


    "I, don''t let other people''s opinions affect you. Just answer this, do you still want to be with me?" He


    held her hand as he said that. I could read the sincerity in his eyes.


    "I..." I paused, "Weren''t you afraid that I might have gotten married after all these years? You''ve


    "I had done my homework, and I know that you are still single." As a matter of fact, Aron had


    investigated her status quo, and the fact that she was still single gave him the courage to try and win


    her back. He believed that he still had a ce in her heart.


    "You..." I blushed. But, because everything was happening so quickly, she found herself at a loss for


    words. She couldn''t understand what was going on in her mind as well.


    Even just a few days before Aron hade back, I had despised him for not telling her the truth,


    because of which she supposed that he had fallen in love with someone else. He had made her looked


    like aplete fool when she learned the truthter.


    I started to feel differently about Aron after he came back, especially when he told her the truth


    about what had happened between him and Becky. And I began to resent Becky strongly. If not for


    Becky''s n, she and Aron would not have to suffer such a long separation. Besides, she hated herself


    for leaving Aron because of Becky.


    He had been away for four years.


    And she had missed him for all those years.


    "I, I know that time changes things, but it can''t change how I feel about you. Although we have been


    apart from each other for four years, I still love you just the same. I know that this ising to you out


    of the blue, and you still need time to think it over. Don''t worry, I will wait for you as long as it take, "


    Aron gently looked at I and proposed, "How about one week? In the meantime, I will speak with


    Becky and set things straight with her. What do you say?"


    "You... are you really going to break up with her?" Asked I as she frowned mildly.


    "How could I break up with her when we weren''t even together in the first ce?" Aron let out a smile


    and continued, "But you are right, I must make a clean break. I need to persuade my grandparents,


    and make it clear to Becky. I, please don''t push me away anymore, okay?"


    "..." I said nothing, but gave her answer by nodding her head lightly.


    Early next morning, Aron sent I home. After that, I tried calling Autumn to ask for a leave. She


    was caught by surprise when she heard Charles''s voice on the other end of the line.


    "May I speak to Autumn?" I asked in confusion. She quickly nced at the phone screen to make


    sure that she had dialled the correct number.


    "She has just gone to sleep. Is it very urgent?" Charles said in a cold voice.


    "It''s not a big deal. Just that, something important came upst night, so I was wondering if I could take


    the day off, " I said softly.


    "I, I''m afraid that I must say no." Charles didn''t mean to push her too hard, but... Given Autumn''s


    current state, it would be impossible for her to get back to work anytime soon. "Miss. Zhao, Autumn


    stayed at the hospital all night. She''s a bit emotionally unstable at the moment, and won''t be able to


    make it to work. You are the only person she trusts in thepany, so..."


    "What happened to her?" I''s heart sank.


    "Nothing serious. It''s just that we have found her grandmother, but she is not in a very good condition.


    So Autumn has to stay at the hospital and look after her. If you don''t mind... could you please take care


    of thepany affairs for Autumn while she''s absent?" Charles believed that I would understand


    their situation.


    "Okay, no problem." I said while slightly nodding her head. She then asked worriedly, "Is Autumn


    alright? Does she need my help there? I can manage to go to the hospital and keep herpany if


    necessary."


    "There is no need for that at the moment. Since her grandmother is in a serious condition right now, I


    think she may want to spend more time with her alone." Charles sighed before saying, "Miss. Zhao,


    sorry to trouble you, but please help her manage thepany for the time being."


    I was ready to help and didn''t think it to be bothersome at all. "Sure. Just leave it to me."


    As she hung up the phone, I realized that it was nearly time for work. She quickly took a bath to


    freshen up. At the same time, Aron had just got back home. His grandparents didn''t sleep wellst


    night, as they had stayed up all night waiting for him toe back.


    "Where were youst night? Howe you''re justing back home right now?" Upon seeing him,


    his grandmother Joanna quickly came up to him and asked, "How could you behave in such a manner?


    Didn''t you know that Becky''s family was here to talk about your wedding yesterday? How could you just


    disappear and put off such an important matter? We should never have spoiled you so much as a child.


    That way, at the very least, you may have learned some manners and know how to carry yourself in a


    dignified manner.


    Before Aron could even say a word, his grandfather Mike turned to persuade him, "Aron, you have long


    reached the age of marriage. You and Becky have been together for four years, and both your


    grandmother and I like her very much. Please just listen to us. It''s about time that you acted more


    responsibly and married her. Let''s set up a time to meet with her family again, and get your wedding


    settled as soon as possible."


    "Your grandpa is right. Becky is such a good girl. Although you never admitted that she is your


    girlfriend, she has remained ever faithful to you for all these years. She has even suffered a


    miscarriage because of you. Clear your conscience and shoulder the responsibility, Aron." Joanna


    frowned as she said, "Your grandpa and I have discussed itst night, and we think that we should get


    down to preparing for the wedding. The 7th of next month will be a lucky day, we want to schedule the


    wedding for that day if you agree. Besides, you should talk to Becky''s parents soon. Make sure to ask


    whether there are any special customs they would like to observe. Tell them we will follow whatever


    customs they may request."
