Chapter 167 Wedding Invitation


    Becky flushed, her eyes twinkling with joy. "Grandpa, I don''t think Aron wants to get married. I''m afraid


    he might have lost his feelings for me. He''ll just be more reluctant if you ask him to marry me, " she


    said as soon as she calmed down.


    "Don''t lose heart, " Mike said with a frown, loudly interrupting her.


    "I will always be on your side.


    Don''t worry. I''ll make sure that the marriage is going to happen whether he likes it or not, " he said, full


    of conviction.


    "But I..." Becky trailed off mid-sentence.


    "Don''t you want to make grandma happy?


    She has always hoped that you and Aron will get married. Who knows? She might even wake up out of


    sheer joy knowing that you two get married, " Mike continued, trying to persuade her.


    ''If Joanna knew that I married Aron, she would be furious, '' Becky thought to herself.


    "I guess I have no choice but to follow grandpa''s arrangement, " she replied with a sly smile on her


    face.


    "Good girl, " Mike said, clearly satisfied.


    "You should go home and rest."


    Becky pretended to refuse Mike''s proposal. But he was so insistent it made her reluctantly agree. She


    fool for two whole days has made me so hungry and exhausted, " she whined, unwilling to move.


    "What are you talking about? Be careful or someone might hear you, " Mandy said, reprimanding her


    daughter.


    "Patience is key. Once your marriage with Aron is settled, you can do whatever you want." she


    continued, patting Becky''s shoulder.


    Sighing, she said, "I know. I''m really trying my best to be patient."


    Becky got up and perched on the back of the sofa, leaning her head on her hands. "Mom, but how


    about my wedding ceremony?" she asked.


    "I''m going to take care of it so there''s no need to worry. I''ll make sure that everything is ready when the


    timees, " Mandy replied, reassuring her daughter.


    Joanna''s ident proved to be beneficial. Mike consented to all of Mandy''s proposal no matter how


    unreasonable they were. He had only one condition. And that was for Becky and Aron to get married as


    soon as possible.


    "We''re running out of time. Your wedding ceremony is scheduled to be held early next month. Mike said


    he wouldn''t want the wedding ceremony to be dyed. He wants it to be rushed regardless of the


    expenses, "


    She continued.


    Becky sighed, wondering if it was all happening too suddenly.


    She had always longed to be Aron''s bride for the past four years. Finally hearing all of this in real life


    felt unreal.


    "Isn''t this what you have wanted for so long?" she asked Becky, knowing her answer fully well.


    "When you have the time, don''t forget to give me the list of your friends so that I can prepare the


    wedding invitations, " Mandy reminded her.


    Becky smiled in return, a vicious thoughting to her mind. "Mom, you must prepare an invitation for


    I and then hand it to her yourself, " Becky said menacingly.


    "I will, "


    Mandy said as if knowing the request beforehand.


    Many of Mandy''s rtives looked down on their family when Becky and Aron got together. Though they


    hadn''t mentioned it in front of them, they thought that Becky and Mandy had stolen someone''s

    happiness.


    Now, she wanted to let her rtives know that Aron would marry her daughter soon.


    Becky went to the hospital the following morning. Meanwhile, Mandy went straight to I''s house,


    knowing where she lived.


    I had little strength to get up when someone knocked on the door. Feeling unwell, she had stayed at


    home for several days without even eating, drinking, or sleeping.


    When Mandy got inside, she noticed that all of the curtains were closed so well that even air could not


    enter inside.


    "What happened?"


    She asked as she pulled the curtains up, making way for the sunlight to enter the house.


    Having been used to the darkness, I immediately raised her hand to shield herself from the sunlight.


    "Why did youe here?"


    She asked out of suspicion, having been previously disappointed with Mandy and Becky.


    Mandy would have already lost her temper, if she hadn''t been in a good mood today. She didn''t want to


    mind her words now.


    "I came here to give you this…" Mandy said cheerfully as she took out the invitation from her bag.


    "You are invited to Becky''s wedding ceremony. It will be held next month, " she said as she handed the


    invitation to I.


    I opened the invitation upon taking it. Her heart sank when seeing Aron''s phone number on it.


    "Is Aron going to marry Becky…?" she asked, clearly surprised.


    "Yes, " Mandy replied,ughing with pleasure.


    "They have been dating for four years! It''s about time for them to get married. Besides, you''ll be happy


    for them, won''t you?"


    "Of course, " I replied coldly.


    Even when Aron left her without a word four years ago, she hadn''t been as heartbroken as she was


    now. She felt like as if her heart was ripped out from her chest. Despite this, Becky still had the gall to


    throw it on the ground and step on it.


    She clutched the invitation with so much force, showing the veins on the back of her hand. "Aunt, don''t


    worry. I will be sure to attend their wedding ceremony."


    "Then we will be waiting for your arrival, " Mandy said,ughing with mischief on her eyes.


    "Becky has always been on good terms with you ever since you were little kids, and I always like you.


    And you have even yed an essential part in Becky''s marriage! See? But you should start


    considering your own happiness, especially now that your cousin is getting married. Remember Mr.


    Huang? The one I introduced to you? He''s a good man, " she continued.


    "I can arrange your next meeting right away if you want to. But you must be friendly! You shouldn''t be


    rude likest time."


    "Aunt, can you stop acting? For god''s sake, there''s only two of us in this house! You don''t need to act


    like someone you''re not! Don''t you ever get tired?" I eximed.


    "If Gordon Huang is truly a good man, why did you help Becky steal my fiancé instead of introducing


    them?"


    ''Four years have passed and yet, Aron still hasn''t stopped failing me. This time, I don''t think that I will


    still be able to forgive him. Not anymore, '' thought I to herself.


    "I''m leaving. I don''t think I''m willing to waste any more time with you, " Mandy groaned, clearly tired of


    all the acting.


    "I''m not sure whether you''re able to attend the wedding. I gave the invitation for the sake of your dad, "


    she continued.


    "I won''t let you off so easily. Remember, Aron''s grandma is still in aa. You''ll be in jail soon


    enough."
