I Hope You Will Never Regret

On Sunday morning, Mr Martins took his daughter and son-in-law to church. Grandpa Basil was overjoyed to see them.

After church, they approached him. Avery smiled brightly at him and said, “Grandpa, we will be having a housewarming party at Daddy’s new mansion on Saturday. I would be happy if you could grace us with your presence.”

Grandpa Basil looked at his granddaughter smiling and replied, “I will surely be there, my lovely granddaughter.”

Her father had invited Grandpa Basil to the mansion to perform a blessing. He said he would fetch him later because he had a special guest. Caia had agreed to have lunch at the Martins residence.

Xavier and his wife didn’t return to the Martins mansion because they didn’t want to be a third wheel. Avery was craving a dessert. So, her husband took her to the mall to buy her favourite cake.

At the Taylor mansion, Caia was nervous and excited at the same time. She nearly dropped her phone when she heard August’s voice. Her heart was beating so fast against her chest.

She was standing in front of the mirror looking beautiful in a knee-high red dress showcasing her stunning figure. Her sister, Caroline, was looking at her with a smile on her face and said, “Don’t be late on your first date, sis.”

Caia giggled when she heard her sister’s words. Then she looked at her sister with worried eyes and asked, “Do you think Avery would hate me if I dated her father? She told me that her father is the most important person in her life.”

Caroline shook her head and replied, “Avery is a good child, and she wants her father to be happy. However, her eldest brother might not take kindly to seeing another woman taking his mother’s place even though they were divorced.”

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Caroline opened the door and smiled brightly when she saw her daughter-in-law. Avery greeted her mother-in-law and Aunt Caia with respect.

She smiled sweetly and said, “Aunt Caia, thank you for putting a smile on my father’s face. He is over the moon.” Then she hugged her tightly and whispered, “Why don’t you confess your love to my father today?”

Aunt Caia was dumbfounded when she heard Avery’s words and asked, “How do you know?”

Avery smiled brightly and replied, “Every time you see my father your eyes lit up. Do you think it was just a coincidence when I asked you to decorate my father’s mansion? I asked you because I knew that you had feelings for my father.

My father deserves to be happy, and I believe that he will be happy with you.” She turned to her mother-in-law smiling and asked, “What do you think, Mom?” Her mother-in-law was overjoyed. She looked at her sister and said, “Go and get him, Caia.”

Caia was overwhelmed with sweetness. She hugged her future stepdaughter tightly and said, “Thank you for accepting me, Avery. I was scared that you would hate me if I dated your father because you are close to him.”

Caia’s best friend, Tammy, was married to a wonderful man, but they ended up divorcing because his daughter from his previous marriage was giving her a hard time.

They got together five years after his divorce from his ex-wife, but his daughter blamed her for coming between her parents.

Avery smiled and replied, “You are a good woman, Aunt Caia, and I believe that you will be happy with my father. However, I have to warn you. It will be difficult to win my brother over. He loves Aunt Elizabeth wholeheartedly.”

Aunt Caia nodded her head and thanked her. Then she took her designer handbag and said, “Please wish me luck.” Then she left.

When Mr Martins heard the sound of a car, he went to the driveway to fetch her. He smiled broadly at her and kissed her on the cheeks. August ushered her to the living room and said, “Welcome to the Martins family, Caia. You look stunning.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Caia flashed him a beautiful smile and replied, “Thank you for inviting me, Mr Martins.”

August smiled and said, “Please call me by my name, Caia. Thank you for creating such an opulent sanctuary. I don’t have enough words to thank you.”

Then he went to the kitchen to fetch the food. Caia smiled shyly at him and asked, “Do you need help?” August was carrying a round electric chafing dish.

August nodded his head and replied, “Yes. However, I don’t want you to burn your beautiful hands. Please bring the plates and cutlery to the dining room.”

A surge of warmth flowed into her heart. She walked to the bathroom and washed her hands. Then she walked to the kitchen and took black plates from the cupboard. She warmed them up and took them to the dining room.

August pulled a chair for her. Caia smiled and thanked him. August sat opposite her. Caia started to dish for her future husband. August smiled broadly and thanked her. They ate the food in silence.

After they finished eating, Caia smiled at August and said, “The food is delicious, please thank Avery for me.” Avery woke up early to prepare the food for her father and Aunt Caia.

August looked at her with smiling eyes and replied, “I am glad that you enjoyed the food.” They cleared the dining table and Caia washed the dishes.

After a delicious lunch, they sat in the luxuriously decorated living room. Caia told him about her childhood, hobbies, and interests. They were teasing each other and laughing.

August smiled at Caia and asked, “How come a gorgeous lady like you is not married? I bet you have a lot of admirers.”

Caia smiled sweetly at him and replied, “Because I was waiting for someone like you to come into my life. I fell in love with you at first sight at the Taylor Group Gala.

When I heard that you were married, I cried for a long time because I have never coveted something that does not belong to me. Will you marry me, August?”

August was utterly dumbfounded. He came back to his senses, then he took Caia in his arms and replied, “I don’t know when I fell in love with you. You have been in my mind all the time. I tried to ignore it to no avail. I love you so much.”

Then he kissed her on the lips for a long time. Caia’s mind went blank. August looked at her with gentleness in his eyes and asked, “Do you mind if we get married tomorrow, Darling?”
