Chapter 301 Agreeing To Meet


    I paused for an unusually long time before she mustered the courage to answer Jina''s burning


    question, "Aron."


    Upon hearing their daughter utter his name, both Jina and John were taken aback with shock. For a


    moment, they assured one another that they had heard the wrong name or that I was cracking an


    borate prank. But, when they noticed unwavering seriousness set on I''s face, they realized that


    they heard it right, Aron was I''s boyfriend.


    "Have you gone crazy?" Jina looked at I, in shock as she has still not recovered from the blow. She


    asked, "Have you not received enough grief from him yet? And now you are going to walk towards the


    cause of your own unhappiness like a moth flies into the fire?"


    "Mom, I have thought it over in depth and trust me have thought about all aspects of our rtion before


    I even considered taking it forward." I said to her parents with determination, "I want to be with Aron.


    Besides, from now on, I will never have to go on a blind date as I am in amitted and happy


    rtionship with Aron"


    "You..." At this point, Jina was so angry that she involuntarily raised her hand, but she could not get


    herself p I. "It is no wonder that Stephen told me he saw you staying with a man and then swore


    at you as a bitch. I was so annoyed with his nonsense talk that I almost had a fight with him that day.


    After hearing your confession I feel ridiculous to have defended you in that manner."


    Jina gave out a bitter smile. She continued to speak to I, "Why do you insist on being with Aron Gu?


    Don''t you think he hasn''t hurt you enough for the pain tost a lifetime?"


    John used to respect I''s choice. But this time, he decided not to support I at all as he was dead


    set against the idea of Aron and I together.


    "I, no matter what decisions you made in the past, I always supported you with blind faith and love.


    But this time you have taken it very far!" John gave I a serious look as he continued speaking, "I


    don''t care about what has happened between Aron and you earlier. But now, after all of that history it is


    impossible for you to share a rtionship with him. There is just no way!"


    "Daddy..." I frowned slightly. She knew she had to convince her parents but what she did not expect


    was that, both her dad and mom would outright deny Aron a chance without hearing her out. This was


    not a good situation to be in.


    "I, I am warning you, for your welfare, you should break up with that guy the minute you can. I mean


    what''s wrong with Stephen? You should not have picked a fight with him even if you really don''t like


    him." Jina almost went crazy with rage.


    "Mom!" I seemed to have be a little grumpy after drinking as much as she did. It had been


    quite a while since she lost her temper like today. She also then began to raise her voice, "You always


    praise Stephen as a good man, but how good is he really? Could you be so kind as to share some


    details?"


    "He..." Jina went nk for a moment, but soon she came back to her senses and answered, "At least,


    unlike Aron Gun, he won''t make out with your cousin when you have a rtionship with each other.


    Now that Aron Gu has returned for a reunion. Today I have to make something crystal clear in advance,


    I will never, ever approve of your rtionship with Aron Gu."


    I went nk when she heard such harsh wordsing from her mother.


    "You are crossing the line with your words, Jina. You can speak in an appropriate tone. I is not a little


    baby." John held Jina back, and pacified her.


    "Are you sure she is not a little baby? Are you?" Jina said sarcastically, "How could she make such


    ridiculous decisions motivated without any reason and sanity if she is not a baby? That guy was


    engaged to be married to your daughter first. And right before their wedding, he broke up with your


    daughter somehow, and in no time was he about to marry Becky. And now after all that drama, he had


    changed his mind yet again to rekindle his rtionship with I. I will be humiliated all over again if our


    neighbors and rtivese to know of this entire charade, you know? Besides, they might even


    mock me and cuss at me behind my back!"


    "You are destined to live a hard and sad life if you always care about what others think of you." I too


    lost her temper as she responded to Jina, "Mom, you said you wondered what my reason was to break


    up with Stephen. OK, so I will tell you now."


    I told her mom the incidents exactly as it happened on that fateful day. Finally, she looked into Jina''s


    eyes, and said, "Mom, I admit that I am not young anymore, but you must understand that it is even my


    desire to marry a man of excellent character. After all, who hopes that their marriage will end up in a


    divorce? Keeping that in mind, do you really think I will lead a better life if I marry a man like Stephen?


    If your answer is still ''Yes'', I will call Stephen right away."


    John frowned upon hearing I''s story, and asked, "You silly girl, why could you have just not told us


    such a serious matter?"


    "Would it have made any sense had I told you the truth?" I had no choice. She knew her parents


    advised her to marry Stephen for her welfare. But they also didn''t expect for such thing to happen with


    their daughter, either. I didn''t want them to worry about her or feel guilty for such a failed match.


    "Even considering this, it is unwise for you to be in a rtionship with Aron." After knowing the truth,


    Jina felt deeply remorseful for all that she said, so her tone slowly mellowed down, "Our suggestion to


    marry Stephen was our fault, as we didn''t exactly get acquainted with Stephen in haste. But I this


    does not mean that we approve of your rtionship with Aron, in anyway."


    "You..." I wanted to shout at her mother again, but her father stopped her in the nick of time.


    Jina was always a woman who could be persuaded only by reason but not be cowed by force.


    Therefore, if I continued to go against her, Jina wouldn''t allow her to reunite Aron without any doubt.


    I calmed down the moment John stopped her. She took a deep breath to get a sense of the situation


    before she addressed her mother again, "Mom, I know you have a bias against Aron. So do I. But do


    you know... If it was not for Aron who saved me that night, I can''t imagine what terrible things would


    have happened with me.


    True. Now you will say that his bid to rescue me can hardly make up for his bad behavior in the past.


    But in fact, you should be clear that all the issues were caused by Becky who directed and acted the


    entire affair all by herself. Both Aron and I were the victims of her charade." I sighed with profound

    resignation. She sat next her to Jina, and said, "Mom, do you know that Aron came to look for me also


    when he was sick, too. It was stomach perforation. He fainted the moment he attacked Stephen away


    from there. Forgive me, mom. After that I was just unable to keep a hard heart and leave him alone. I


    want to give a chance to Aron, and rekindle our rtionship for me as well. I was very happy when we


    were together. We had a spark and I wanted to see if that was still there. I really hope that you can


    understand the reasons behind my choice and support it. Please give Aron another opportunity like I


    did."


    Jina was shocked beyond what she anticipated when she heard that Aron was in poor health when he


    helped her. She was a woman whose bark was worse than her bite. Although she had a nonchnt


    expression on her face, she couldn''t helping caring about Aron''s health. So she asked with hesitation,


    "So... How is everything with him? Has he recoveredpletely now?"


    No matter what had happened in the past, it could not alter the fact that Aron saved I. She was


    grateful for his opportune timing of helping I out of politeness.


    "He has almost recovered." I answered in a calm tone, "Mom, I have had a discussion with Aron. We


    are nning to invite you to dinner tomorrow. Could you please oblige us and have the dinner with us?


    I will be ever grateful. Pleasee even if it is just for my sake."


    I held Jina''s hands, and asked like a spoiled child. At first, Jina hesitated, but finally she gave in and


    nodded her head. "Fine, I will attend this dinner in a bid to thank him for saving you. You will decide the


    ce, won''t you?"


    "Thank you, dear mom. I appreciate this." I kissed Jina on her face with happiness, "So I will share


    the good news with Aron."


    I was ecstatic to go upstairs to give Aron a call. She exhorted Aron again and again to behave well


    in front of her mother. Although Jina agreed to meet Aron, she could never ept Aron Gu from her


    heart.
