His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 205

"My four years' investigation has paid off. I was informed that Becky bribed a doctor into falsifying her pregnancy, so... Becky was never expecting my child; I don't owe her anything." Aron felt quite relieved after disclosing the whole plot.

"A shocking story... indeed!" Mike was terrified after what he had just heard. He didn't expect Becky to be such a big liar.

Behind Becky's good manners were countless hidden agendas. Mike was overwhelmed by the horrible reality.

"So Becky's pregnancy was just a ruse?" Mike asked Aron in amazement.

"Exactly!" Aron nodded gently, "At the time, I didn't have sufficient evidence at hand to disprove her pregnancy, so I decided not to tell you, because I was afraid that you'd worry about it too much. When I tried to talk to you about it later, grandma went into a coma, unexpectedly. Fortunately, now that she is awake, I finally have the chance to explain the entire situation and myself to you."

"Dear grandparents, I must acknowledge my error in promising to marry Becky, but I did so to prevent Becky from acting out of desperation. The last thing I would want to do is to marry a treacherous and deceptive woman like Becky. I would rather remain single all my life, than be married to her."

After Aron clarified his thoughts on the matter, Joanna voiced her opinion: "Aron, previously I was left in the dark about the whole thing and so I ended up forcing you to marry Becky. Luckily still, you chose to act on your own rather than to follow our advice. Now you are free to marry whomever you love. As for Isla..."

Joanna paused and continued, "I will try to get along with her if you really love her, but I am not making any promises. Do I make myself clear?"

Aron smiled subtly at his grandma's words. Although Isla was a bit aloof, she was also kind at heart. Aron believed that sooner or later, his grandparents would grow to like her.

Aron turned to Mike and wondered what was on his mind.

Mike was still solemn and numb from hearing the shocking truth. Snapping out from his trance, he said to Aron, "I'll have to think it over. If... if Becky turns out to be the kind of woman that you say she is, I won't force the marriage on you. But you will have to put an end to it in a reasonable way."

"Ok, I will do as you say." Aron nodded gently, "My grandma, you should get some rest now. I've hired a private nurse to take care of your needs. Additionally, grandpa and I will take turns to look after you and to prevent Becky from hurting you again."

"That sounds good." Joanna nodded gently, as she quickly fell asleep. Aron and Mike walked out of the sickroom and then closed the door behind them. Mike was a bit annoyed, "Why didn't you tell me about Becky's dirty tricks earlier?"

"Because I didn't expect you to believe me without any credible evidence." Aron replied calmly, "Grandpa, I may not have suspected Becky's bad character if I was not a victim of her plot. So I can understand how you and grandma are feeling right now."

"But..." Mike had mixed feelings. He thought that it was Isla who had harmed Joanna, unbeknownst to him that it was actually Becky's doing instead. However, in trying to be kind to Becky, he had made an utter fool of himself.

"Grandpa, please don't worry" Aron assured Mike with a gentle smile, "I will do whatever is necessary, to put this matter to rest."

"Let it be then..." Mike heaved a heavy sigh, "I leave it to you. You can do it as you see fit."
