I Hope You Will Never Regret

Avery went to her bedroom then she took a shower. She wore her casual clothes then she went to the kitchen to finish cooking. She roasted the vegetables and grilled the slices of mango and apricot. Then she prepared plum sauce.

Then she went to the dining room to decorate it. When she was done, she went back to her bedroom to change her clothes. She wore an elegant knee-high custom-made red dress showing off her stunning legs. Her make-up was exquisite and impeccable.

Then she headed down to the living room. A few minutes later, her husband opened the door. He was stunned when he saw his gorgeous wife. He quickened his pace and took her in his arms.

Her husband kissed her on the lips for a long time. He looked at her and said, “You are so beautiful, my love. What is the occasion?”

Avery smiled brightly at him and replied, “I wanted to be beautiful for you, my handsome husband. Honey, please go to the dining room. I will join you in a minute.”

When Xavier entered the dining room, he was stunned. The dining room was romantically decorated with rose petals and fresh flowers. There were heart-shaped candles on the dining table. The non-alcoholic red wine was sitting in the ice bucket.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Avery washed her hands; then she took two black plates and started plating. In the centre of the plate, she put roasted veggies and grilled slices of mango and apricot.

Then she covered them with the slices of the perking duck. The plate looked delicate and exquisite. She poured the plum sauce into a small jug. Then she took a basin with warm water and a towel.

She helped Xavier to wash his hands and went to the kitchen to fetch the food. She put the delicate plate in front of him and went to the kitchen to fetch her food. Then she sat opposite him. The atmosphere was warm and intimate.

Xavier looked at the plating and said, “My stunning wife, your plating is beautiful.” Then he took his cutlery and started eating. The perking duck was juicy and tender. Food was delicious, flavour exploded in his mouth.

Avery looked at Xavier with tears in her eyes and said, “When Jordan broke my heart, I wanted to end my life. I never knew that it was the beginning of my life. You have touched my heart deeply Mr Taylor with your beautiful smile, your embrace, and your hugs.

I love you, Mr Taylor with all my heart. You make my heart beat uncontrollably against my chest. I thank the Lord for blessing me with the one whom my soul loves.

Xavier wiped his wife’s tears and looked at her with tenderness. He kissed her and said, “Thank you, Sweetheart, for trusting me with your heart. You are my gift from the Lord. I promise that I will cherish and respect you for the rest of my life.”

Avery felt warm in her heart and asked, “Honey, are you available on Saturday?” Xavier smiled broadly and said, “Sweetheart, I am always available for you. What is happening on Saturday?”

Avery smiled sweetly at her husband and replied, “Honey, I want you to meet the most important person in my life, my father. He has sacrificed a lot for me. I would be happy if you had a good relationship with him. He is everything in my life.”

Xavier nodded his head and replied, “It’s my heart’s desire to have a good relationship with my father-in-law. He is a good man.”

Avery felt warm in her heart and asked, “Honey, should I make arrangements to meet my father at His Glory Hotel for lunch?”

Xavier shook his head and replied, “Sweetheart, please leave everything to me. I will send you the details later.” Then he took his wife in his arms and kissed her senseless.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday, Xavier and his wife went to His Grace Hotel. Xavier asked the hotel Manager to escort Mr Martins to their private room when he arrived.

Mr Martins arrived shortly after them. The hotel Manager greeted him respectfully then he escorted him to the private room. Xavier and Avery stood up when Mr Martins entered the room.

Avery walked to her father and smiled sweetly and said, “Daddy, please meet the love of my life, Xavier Taylor.” Her father couldn’t believe his ears, he was beaming with joy. Xavier approached his father-in-law nervously.

Her father-in-law hugged him tightly and asked, “How are you, Son?” Xavier smiled and replied, “I am well, Dad. How are you doing?” His father-in-law was over the moon and replied, “All is well with us too, Son.”

Then he looked at his daughter and said, “I am so happy my dearest daughter. You chose well.” Avery smiled sweetly at Xavier then they sat down.

A few minutes later, Chef Bruno followed by the waiters brought food in the private room. Xavier thanked them then they left.

At that moment Avery’s phone started ringing. She took her phone from her handbag and excused herself. It was the call from Dr Lambert. Avery said, “Hello Uncle Lambert, are you looking for me?”

Uncle Lambert replied, “Avery, I am sorry for disturbing you. The JHB General Hospital has transferred the Minister to our hospital. She has a brain tumor in a critical position. I need your help.”

Uncle Lambert was aware that Avery was having lunch with her father and Xavier. Avery replied, “Uncle Lambert, please give me half an hour.” Then they hung up.

Avery walked back to the private room. She sat beside her husband and said, “Daddy, there is an emergency at the hospital I have to go.”

Her father kissed her on both cheeks then Xavier kissed her on top of her head and said, “Sweetheart, please eat something before you leave. Later, Wayne will drop you at the hospital.”

Avery dished for her father then she dished for her husband. Xavier dished for her. Avery smiled at him sweetly and thanked him. Avery ate quickly then she bade them goodbye, and she left.

Xavier was so nervous being alone with his father-in-law. His father-in-law smiled broadly and said, “Son, I am satisfied with you. I advise you to register your marriage as soon as possible.

My wife and my niece set up Jordan and my daughter. So, I don’t want the same thing to happen to you too.”

Xavier heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “Thank you, Dad, for accepting me. I would like to apologize for registering our marriage before I asked for your daughter’s hand in marriage.

I fell in love with your daughter at first sight and I decided to marry her on the spot. Dad, Avery completes me. When I was married to Valencia, I felt that something was missing.”

His father-in-law smiled and said, “I am glad that the Lord has blessed my daughter with you. Is your family aware of the relationship between you and my daughter?”

Xavier smiled and replied, “Yes, Dad. My family is over the moon, especially my grandfather. He is currently preparing the betrothal gift list. Dad, when will be a suitable date to visit the Martins family for betrothal gifts?”

His father-in-law was beaming with joy and said, “Your father told me about the Taylor Group’s 50th Anniversary. Why don’t we meet after the celebration? I want to hide your love from my family. My wife is evil-hearted she would try to sabotage your love.”

At that moment, someone opened the door.
