I Hope You Will Never Regret

President Taylor smiled brightly when he saw the young lady and said, “Portia, you looked more beautiful than the last time I saw you. Are you well?” Portia smiled shyly and replied, “Thank you, Mr Taylor.

I heard good news from my brother that, finally, I have a sister-in-law. Is she pretty?” Portia Butler was Wayne’s baby sister, but she was two years older than Xavier.

Portia was in the army. She took a Sabbatical leave when their mother was sick. Unfortunately, she passed away a month later. She developed a major depression, then she resigned from the army.

Xavier smiled brightly and replied, “As you know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I tell you that she is the most beautiful girl in the world, you will think I am exaggerating. I will introduce you to her later.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Portia smiled brightly. She was looking forward to seeing the person who moved handsome Xavier’s dead heart. She thought Xavier would never open his heart again after his wife passed away.

A few minutes later, President Taylor left his office with Wayne and his sister in tow. They went to Sage’s ward first because they didn’t want to disturb Avery.

Xavier’s mother smiled brightly when she saw Portia and said, “Long time no see, my dearest. Are you well?”

Portia hugged Mrs Taylor and replied, “Good afternoon, Aunt Caroline. I am well. Thank you. How are you doing?” Aunt Caroline smiled and said, “All is well with us too, my dearest.”

Portia kissed Sage on her cheeks and said, “Hello beautiful, how are you feeling?” Sage looked at Aunt Portia and replied, “I am feeling well, beautiful Aunt.”

Xavier took his mother aside and told her about the meeting between Avery and Lily at the mall. He also told her that he was worried that Aunt Elizabeth and others would harm his wife. Hence, he brought Portia to be his wife’s bodyguard.

His mother was happy to hear that because Elizabeth was evil-hearted and said, “It’s good to take precautions against Elizabeth. Her conscience was eaten by a dog.” Xavier kissed his mother and his daughter, then they headed to Avery’s office.

Xavier was about to knock on his wife’s office when the door was opened. Avery smiled beautifully and threw herself at him. Xavier hugged her tightly, smiling from ear to ear.

She looked at him with affection in her eyes and said, “Honey, I was going to the parking lot to wait for you.

Who knows, maybe Aunt Elizabeth and Lily are waiting for me in the parking lot? I don’t want you to meet them because they would dirty your eyes.”

Xavier laughed out loud and kissed his wife, who was hanging at him like a koala. He looked at her with gentleness in his eyes and said, “Sweetheart, I brought visitors with me.”

Avery was so embarrassed and asked softly, “Why didn’t you tell me, my love?” Xavier smiled and replied, “Sweetheart, you didn’t give me a chance.”

He sat on the sofa and placed her on his lap. Avery was so shy she hid in her husband’s chest she didn’t want to show her face. She thought Xavier had brought their grandfather with him.

Xavier chuckled and coaxed her, “My stunning wife, I am sorry it’s my fault. Do you remember that I promised to bring a bodyguard to protect you? She is Wayne’s sister, and she is here to meet you.”

Portia was standing beside her brother looking amused. It looked like young Mrs Taylor was weak. Did she deserve to be Xavier’s wife? She was praying silently in her heart that she was not a schemer. She was looking at her with disgust in her eyes.

At that moment, Avery looked at her with a bright smile on her stunning face. She stood up and walked to her.

She then reached her hand and said, “Hello Miss Butler, my name is Avery Taylor. Nice to meet you. Thank you for coming at such short notice.”

Portia was caught off guard. Mrs Taylor was so young and replied, “Pleasure is mine, gorgeous Mrs Taylor. My name is Portia Butler.”

They shook hands, and then Xavier hugged his wife’s waist and left the office. They headed to the parking lot.

In their apartment’s driveway, Avery smiled sweetly at her husband and said, “Honey, do you mind if I have a word with Miss Butler?” Xavier smiled and walked to the house.

Avery smiled at Portia and said, “I will be frank with you, Miss Butler. I don’t need a bodyguard, but I agreed because my husband was worried that they might harm me.

I have been trained by a martial artist since I was five years old. Aunt Elizabeth and others are no match for me.

Also, I come from the second-wealthiest family in the country. I don’t need anything from my husband except love. I am not a trophy wife. I hope we will work well together.” Then she walked to the house.

Portia smiled beautifully and said to her brother, “They are a match made in heaven. The wife of the Taylor heir cannot be a weakling.

It will make my Xavier so tired. I like her very much. She is tough and stunning.” Wayne looked at her, but he didn’t utter a word. Then he drove away.

Xavier was sitting in the living room waiting for his wife. When she walked in, her husband took her in his arms and asked, “Is everything alright, Sweetheart?”

Avery flashed him a beautiful smile and replied, “Yes, my love.” Xavier’s heart melted when he saw his wife’s dazzling smile. He kissed her gentle on her lips for a long time. Avery was breathless and said, “Honey, I have to cook.”

Her husband smiled and said, “I miss you so much, my stunning wife.” Avery giggled and replied, “After Aunt Bridge leaves, you can do anything to me.” Avery was hoping that her husband would be busy with his company work until late.

Xavier smiled mischievously and asked, “Anything?” Avery nodded her head, and then she ran to their bedroom to change into comfortable clothes. Xavier felt helpless and followed behind smiling.

Avery quickly changed her clothes, then she walked to her husband smiling. She tiptoed and kissed him on his chin. She looked at him with eyes full of love and asked, “My handsome husband, did you bring your work home?”

Her husband smiled and asked, “Is your vacation leave approved?” Avery nodded her head and replied, “It was approved, my love. Do you want me to make the bookings?” Xavier was over the moon. He kissed her on top of her head.

He shook his head and replied, “Leave everything to me, my stunning wife. I didn’t bring work home because I didn’t know if your vacation leave was approved or not.” Avery’s heart sank, and then she headed to the kitchen to cook.
