I Hope You Will Never Regret

When it was connected, she spoke with a soft voice and said, “August, I would like to apologize on behalf of my niece, Lily. She went overboard at her parents’ funeral service when she was chasing your daughter. For that, I am deeply sorry.

Please allow Lily to stay with us. I promise she will never misbehave ever again. Also, I am sorry for embarrassing Pastor Basil. I know that he is like a father to you. Please forgive her this time. Please do it for my brother.”

August sneered, “Are you done?” Elizabeth replied, “Please August, I am your wife.” August dropped the phone. He didn’t have time to entertain his wife anymore.

Since Elizabeth didn’t know how to drive, they stayed in the car for a long time. They were so hungry; she took her phone and called His Mercy restaurant manager, Craig Hall, and asked him to deliver her favourite food to the Martins residence.

Mr Hall replied politely, “Mrs Martins, I am not working for the Parker family, and I don’t have an obligation to deliver food to you.

How could you allow your niece to embarrass Miss Martins like that? You have no shame.” Then he dropped the phone.

Mrs Martins was so shocked to hear Mr Hall’s words. Tears streamed down her face. A few minutes later, a cab stopped in front of them.

The young man walked to them and said, “I received a call that you are looking for a cab to take you to Richards Bay. Do you have any luggage?”

Elizabeth felt a deep sense of resentment towards Avery. She asked Lily to stay in the car, and then she walked to the gate and pressed the intercom. Avery’s voice was heard, “May I help you, Aunt Elizabeth?”

Her mother suppressed her anger and replied, “Please open the gate. I want to speak to your father.” Elizabeth heard Avery calling her father.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth saw her husband walking towards the gate. Elizabeth wiped her tears and said, “August, please forgive my niece. She’s still young.”

August looked at his wife and said, “Elizabeth, I don’t think you want to be my wife anymore. Please stay at your brother’s house and wait for my lawyer. I have already paid the cab driver, please leave.” Then he turned and went back to the house.

At that moment, Elizabeth regretted everything she had done. She thought her husband would tolerate her, but it was her wishful thinking. She couldn’t lose her marriage. How could she survive without her husband’s protection?

Elizabeth went back to the car dejected. She looked at her niece and said, “It is clear to me that Avery is very angry, and she will never allow you to set foot at the Martins residence.

Also, all the hotels have rejected us, and we don’t have a place to stay. I think it would be better if we went back to my brother’s house. We will come back when Avery has calmed down.”

Lily looked at her aunt in dismay, but she didn’t say a word. Deep down in her heart, she was disappointed in her aunt. Her aunt had promised her that she would replace Avery as the Martins’ daughter. It was clear to her that it was just empty promises.

Then they moved their suitcases to the cab and left. When they arrived at Richards Bay, Elizabeth called the Ebenezer hotel Manager, Mr Turner, and asked him to provide them with two helpers and food.

Mr Turner replied politely, “I am sorry, Mrs Martins, I wouldn’t be able to help you. I have been instructed by Miss Martins not to take any instructions from you.

I am so glad to see someone put that spoilt brat of your niece in her place. Mr and Mrs Parker died because of her. She cursed them to die.

I was told that you have been a bad influence on her and I am glad that Miss Martins is treating you like that. Please don’t ever call me and don’t come near my hotel.” Then he hung up.

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe her ears. Lily looked puzzled and asked, “Auntie, why don’t we fire him? Who does he think he is?

He is just a mere manager. Why is he taking instructions from Avery? The Ebenezer Hotel is my father’s blood and sweat.”

Aunt Elizabeth shook her head and replied, “The Ebenezer Hotel is my husband’s hotel. Your father was overseeing it.” Lily was shocked she couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.

She looked at her aunt with a confused expression and asked, “Auntie, if my father was not the owner of the Ebenezer Hotel, why did you encourage me to ask them to buy me a private jet?”

What kind of question was that? Aunt Elizabeth looked at her niece; she opened her mouth, but no words came forth.

Tears streamed down Lily’s face, and she said, “Auntie, if I hadn’t been angered my parents by asking them to buy me a private jet, my parents would still be alive today.

If you hadn’t given them the anniversary package, my parents would still be alive. Why did you buy that gift for them? I am an orphan today because of you, Auntie.

Everyone hates me today because you told me to chase Avery away from my parents’ funeral service. You knew how much my father loved Avery, but you didn’t allow her to pay her last respects to her beloved uncle.

I even embarrassed Pastor Basil because you wanted to anger Uncle August. My father told me that Pastor Basil was like a father to Uncle August.

I was so embarrassed when Aiden told me that my father personally asked Pastor Basil to officiate his funeral before he left for Paris.

I was even rude to my mother’s best friend, Aunt Mia because I chose you to be my guardian. Did I make a mistake by choosing you over Aunt Mia?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Aunt Elizabeth’s eyes brimmed with tears, and she replied, “No, you didn’t make a mistake, my beautiful niece. I wish I could go back in time. My husband might even divorce me. What will happen to us?”
