I Hope You Will Never Regret

A few minutes later, Chef Ambrose walked into the dining room with the waiters carrying Stainless Steel Chafing dishes. Avery and Gabriella followed behind them.

Chef Ambrose opened the chafing dishes’ lids, and the aroma filled the dining room. The guests started salivating. The food was mouth-watering.

Chef Ambrose and Avery started plating. She put a plate of food on a tray, then she asked the waiters to follow her. She served Grandpa Taylor first, then the waiters served other guests except for Xavier.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was serving her grandfather-in-law, Lily took the plate of food on the table and served Xavier. He looked coldly at her and ignored the food.

Avery plated her husband’s plate differently, then she walked towards him smiling from ear to ear. To her surprise, there was a plate of food in front of him.

She put the plate aside and gave him the plate of food she had prepared. Xavier smiled and thanked her.

Then she sat down beside him and said, “I told the waiters not to serve you. I think they forgot.” Xavier looked at his wife smiling and replied, “They didn’t forget, it was your beloved cousin who put a plate of food in front of me.”

Avery raised her eyes and met Lily’s eyes, looking at her with hostility. She nearly fainted when she saw Avery removing the plate she had prepared for Xavier. Avery mouthed the word ‘Shameless’. Then she smiled brightly at her husband.

After lunch, Ethan sang a beautiful song. Then Avery sang ‘Our Love is Like a Fairytale’ and ‘You Are My Safe Habour’.

The Taylor family had a great time. Around 5 pm, Chef Ambrose brought the braai meat with a soft pap and different types of salad. The Taylor family praised Chef Ambrose for cooking delicious food for them.

Later, Grandpa Basil stood up and smiled broadly at Grandpa Taylor, “I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Taylor family for loving and protecting my granddaughter.

Also, I would like to thank you for the luxurious gifts that you have given us. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and the effort you made when choosing our gifts.

May the Lord send a blessing on your barns and everything you put your hand on.” Grandpa Taylor replied, “We received it gladly, In-law.”

Then Grandpa Basil asked Xavier and Avery to stand. Then he prayed over them and said, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper. May the Good Lord bless you with lots of children to play with.”

Xavier and Avery replied, “We received it gladly, Grandpa.” Grandpa Taylor was over the moon. He was smiling from ear to ear. He couldn’t wait for his little dumplings.

Then the Taylor family bade farewell to the Martins family, and they went to the driveway chatting and laughing. They were very happy.

Mr Taylor senior went to his eldest son’s car since Xavier was going to spend the night at the Martins mansion.

The Shelton family hugged and kissed Xavier and Avery, and then Clayton took them to His Glory Hotel. The King family bade farewell to Xavier and Avery, then they left.

Aiden approached his sister and his brother-in-law smiling and said, “Thank you, brother-in-law, for the set of keys you gave me. I know that I failed to play the role of a big brother to my sister, and I promise that I will do better in the future.

I was craving my mother’s love, but in the end, she showed me that she only had Lily in her heart. I don’t understand why she gave birth to us because it is clear to me that she doesn’t love us.

Also, I don’t think that our parents’ marriage will survive. Lily is pushing Mom to divorce Dad. She can do whatever she likes, I don’t care anymore.”

Avery looked at her brother and replied, “I don’t think I will ever trust you, Aiden. I have given you many chances, but you have disappointed me again and again.

You always side with your mother and I don’t think you will ever change. At the moment, you are feeling aggrieved because your mother chose Lily over you, but as soon as she calls you, I will become your number one enemy.”

Aiden vowed that he would prove her sister wrong. He would never listen to his mother. He bid goodbye to them, then got in his car and drove away.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Xavier and Avery went to the living room hand in hand. Their father was watching the news. He smiled brightly when he saw them.

Elizabeth looked at her niece and said, “Lily, why don’t you go and prepare a room for young Mr Taylor?” Lily looked at Xavier shyly, then she excused herself and went to the first floor in high spirits.

August looked at his son-in-law and said, “Son, you will visit us some other time. Please take your wife away.” Xavier smiled at his wife and said, “Honey, let me accompany you to fetch your luggage.” Then they went to the second floor.

A few minutes later, they hugged their dad and left. August was fuming with anger and said, “Elizabeth, you are such a disgrace. Are you teaching Lily how to seduce married men?

Even though you don’t acknowledge Avery as your daughter, Xavier is Avery’s husband.”

Elizabeth scoffed and replied, “Your daughter doesn’t deserve young Mr Taylor. She should go back to her poor ex-boyfriend since Tiffany left him at the altar.”

Lily came back after an hour wearing a revealing short dress. She was dumbfounded when she didn’t see Avery and young Mr Taylor. She looked at her aunt and asked, “Aunt Elizabeth, where is my future husband?”

Mr Martins nearly fainted with anger. He went to his study room to fetch the Divorce Agreement. He called his lawyer, Eric Duma, and asked him to come to his house.

He felt that should he stay married to Elizabeth he would die before time. He took the Divorce Agreement from the drawer. He initialed all the pages and signed the last page. Then he headed to the living room with a heavy heart.

He never thought that their marriage would end so soon before her precious daughter’s wedding. When he walked into the living room, his heart sank when he heard his wife telling Lily how to win Xavier’s heart.

He looked at his wife coldly, then he asked Lily to give them some privacy. Elizabeth hugged Lily’s arm and sneered, “August, don’t treat Lily as an outsider.

You can say whatever you want to say in front of her. There are no secrets between us.”

August looked at his wife for a long time, then he handed the Divorce Agreement to her without uttering a word. Lily was over the moon. She snatched the divorce papers from her aunt’s hands and started reading the divorce settlement.

Lily smiled brightly and said, “Aunt Elizabeth, please sign quickly. We are going to be rich. As of today, I will move to the second floor.” She was over the moon. Finally, she would get her revenge.
