I Hope You Will Never Regret

In the blink of an eye, it was the last Friday of the school holidays. The Shelton couple was on their way to South Africa to fetch their sons. They arrived at the Martins mansion around 1 pm carrying lots of gifts.

The twins had sent their parents the photos of the young couple, Clayton and Hope. They also brought gifts for Mr and Mrs King and for their Goddaughter.

The Shelton couple decided to spend the weekend with their Goddaughter. On Sunday morning, Logan looked at his mother and asked, “Mommy, do you mind if I stay here to protect my sister from Aunt Elizabeth and Lily?”

His mother shook her head and replied, “The best way to protect your sister is to study hard and become strong. Why don’t you come back after you become a lawyer?”

Logan nodded his head, his eyes lit up and replied, “I promise to work hard and become strong for my sister.”

Avery was moved by Logan’s words. She smiled brightly at her brothers and said, “I will visit you as soon as I finish my final exams.” They hugged her, and then they left with their parents.

The Shelton couple was told that Lily and her Aunt were on their way back but they were not comfortable seeing Lily.

Her Godmother hadn’t forgotten the humiliation and embarrassment she received from Lily during her parents’ funeral service.

The previous week, Avery had asked her father to bring back her mother and Lily. Mrs Martins couldn’t believe her ears when she received a call from her husband asking them to come back home.

She cried tears of joy because she thought her marriage was over. They thought they would take a cab, but her husband told her that he would send the family driver to fetch them.

When they arrived at the Martins mansion, Aunt Elizabeth asked her niece to apologize to Avery. Lily looked at her nails to hide her emotions and said, “I am sorry.”

Avery smiled faintly at Lily, but it didn’t reach her eyes and replied, “Lily, I will never forgive you for denying me the opportunity to pay my last respect to my beloved uncle, unless you go back in time. From today onwards you are nothing to me.”

Lily was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Then Avery went to her bedroom to take a nap.

Aunt Elizabeth took her niece to the guest room on the first floor. She smiled at her and said, “Sweetheart, tomorrow I will call the interior designer to design your bedroom.

Rest, I will wake you up when the dinner is ready.” Since her aunt didn’t have a good relationship with her cousin, Avery. Lily was determined to take her cousin’s place and to snatch everything that she loved.

Unfortunately, it was her wishful thinking. She pouted her mouth and said, “Auntie, I am not tired. I want my bedroom to be next to Avery’s room.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She said that on purpose, she wanted to kick Bridgette out of the house. She had never had a nanny since she was a child. Why was Avery so special?

Her Aunt thought it was a great idea. Then she asked the helpers to move Lily’s things to Avery’s room. The helpers looked puzzled. Was Mrs Martins planning to move Miss Martins to the first floor?

However, they couldn’t disobey their madam’s instructions. They started moving Lily’s things to the second floor.

Avery was taking a nap; she was so tired. She thought she was dreaming when she heard someone knocking on her door. She was so annoyed, but she walked to the door to open it.

She was surprised to see the helpers carrying Lily’s things and asked, “May I help you, Auntie?” She was always polite to the helpers.

One of the helpers smiled and replied, “Miss, Madam asked us to bring Miss Parker’s things to your room.”

Avery looked at the helper with a confused expression and said, “Please leave those things outside my door, I will ask my father what is going on?”

It was clear to her that her mother had promised her cousin her bedroom. She took her phone and called her father.

When it was connected, she said, “Daddy, the helpers told me that Aunt Elizabeth asked them to move Lily’s things to my bedroom. Are we going to share a room?”

Her father was so upset and replied, “Sweetheart, leave this matter to me. I will sort it out.” Then they hung up. He wanted to stay at the company for a few hours to catch up on his work, but his beloved wife messed up his plan.

Elizabeth was sitting in the living room watching television with her niece. She had a smug in her face. August entered the house, and then he looked at his wife coldly and asked, “Why are Lily’s things on the second floor?”

Elizabeth looked at her husband and replied, “Lily has just lost her parents and I decided to move her to the second floor because she is having nightmares. I want her to be near me.

I am sorry for not telling you in advance. Is it possible to move Bridgette to the first floor since she is just a mere servant?”

August looked at his wife coldly and asked, “Why don’t you move to the first floor with your niece since you want to be close to her? All the helpers have moved to the servants’ quarters.”

After Hope and Clayton registered their marriage, they moved to their mansion to start their family. However, Clayton and Butler Bruce were still working for the Martins.

When the helpers heard that Mrs Martins and Lily were coming back, they decided to move to the servants’ quarters. They were scared that Lily would wake them up in the middle of the night and force them to cook for her.

Elizabeth looked at her husband and replied, “I will ask the helpers to move Lily’s things back to the guest room.” She felt that she would be a laughingstock should she move to the first floor.

Lily was so disappointed in her aunt for failing to fight for her. She promised her that she would chase Avery and Bridgette out of the house, but it was all lies. She didn’t want to move to the guest room.

Her aunt had warned her not to throw tantrums because Avery was still angry, she might kick them out of the house. She didn’t want to go back to Richards Bay ever.

The two weeks they spent in her house were torture. They didn’t have a maid to help them with cooking and washing their clothes. Her aunt forced her to wash her clothes and clean the house. She still had blisters on her hands.
