I Hope You Will Never Regret

Mrs Taylor smiled brightly when Xavier and his wife, Avery walked into the living room and said, “Sweetheart, come and sit beside me.” Xavier felt warmth in his heart when he saw that his wife was loved by his family. His wife was everything to him.

Avery took her mother-in-law’s hands and said, “Mom, we are having dinner with my grandma tonight. I don’t want her to hear the news of my marriage from someone else.

Even though we will not have dinner at home, I am going to cook something delicious for you, Mom. What do you want to eat, my beautiful Mom?”

Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and replied, “Sweetheart, are you not tired?” Avery shook her head and replied, “I took vacation leave today. So, I am not tired. Mom, take this as a token of appreciation for your kindness towards me.”

Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and replied, “I’m craving Fillet Steak and soft pap, Sweetheart.” Avery smiled at her mother-in-law, then she walked to the kitchen to cook.

She marinated the Fillet Steak and put it in the fridge. Then she washed carrots, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms, and potatoes.

Since creamy mushroom sauce went well with steak. She sliced the mushrooms and crushed and minced the garlic. She then melted the butter in a pan and added mushrooms, pepper, and salt.

When the mushrooms were golden brown, she added minced garlic and stirred for two minutes. Then she added cream and milk and allowed it to simmer.

Avery peeled and cut carrots into medium dice. Then she cut the bottom of the asparagus. In the pan, Avery melted butter and added minced garlic, salt, and pepper. She tossed the asparagus in the mixture to coat and placed them in the roasting pan.

She took the diced carrots and fried them in the pan for a few minutes. Then she roasted the asparagus and carrots in the oven until they were tender.

She boiled potatoes until they were soft and drained the water. She added butter, salt, and milk. Then she put them in a blender and made a purée. In another pot, she boiled spinach and made creamy spinach as a side dish.

Since her mother-in-law was craving soft pap, she poured boiling water into a pot, then she added salt, cheese, aromat, grated carrots, butter, and mealie meal. Then she pan-seared the Fillet Steak and put it to rest.

Avery looked at the cupboards and found rectangular dinner plates. After she washed the plates; she warmed them and started plating. All her dishes were full of flavour.

In the corner of the plate, she plated creamy potatoes as purée. She put garlic butter and roasted asparagus on top. Then she put the juicy Fillet Steak. She decided not to hide the garlic butter carrots. She put them beside asparagus.

She poured the creamy mushroom sauce into the small jar and placed it on the plate. Then she placed the soft pap opposite the small jar. She didn’t add the creamy spinach to the plate. She placed it in the bowl.

At that moment, her mother-in-law walked into the kitchen to check on her. She was attracted by the fragrant aroma. She looked at the plate on the table; it was the feast of the eyes.

She smiled brightly and said, “Sweetheart, the food looks delicious.” Avery smiled brightly and replied, “Thank you, Mom. I will serve the food in a minute. I will ask Portia to come to the kitchen. Aunt Getty reminds me of my mother.

I haven’t offended her, but she is treating me like her enemy. I want to play away from her.” Her mother-in-law was dumbfounded.

She looked at her daughter-in-law and replied, “Aunt Getty was sent by the Moore family, and she feels that my son belongs to the Moore family. I will ask her to leave.” Avery nodded her head and thanked her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law went to the living room and asked Portia to help Avery in the kitchen. Portia walked to the kitchen smiling and asked, “Miss Avery, how may I help you?”

Avery smiled and replied, “I am going to serve the family, please stay here for me. I felt that Aunt Getty had a deep hatred towards me. I don’t want to give her an opportunity to frame me. She reminds me of my mother.”

Portia was very impressed and said, “Aunt Getty told me that you are using Sage’s sickness to seduce Mr Xavier. When Grandpa Taylor addressed you as his granddaughter in love, she was shocked. Her eyes turned red.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Grandpa Taylor’s words took her by surprise because she wasn’t aware that you were already accepted by him. Please protect yourself from her, Miss Avery.”

Avery nodded her head and replied, “Mom promised me that she would ask her to leave. Please stay here and not allow her to enter.” Then she poured warm water into the basin and went to the dining room.

A few minutes later, she started serving the elders. Grandpa Taylor looked at the food and said, “My precious grandson, please take a photo of this food I want to show my friends.”

Xavier smiled brightly, then he took several photos of the food and sent them to his grandfather’s phone. He excused himself, then he went to their bedroom to change his clothes. Half an hour later, Xavier and his wife bade goodnight to their elders and left.

During dinner, Mr Taylor senior was grinning from ear to ear and said, “My precious granddaughter in love’s food is lip-smacking. Her plating is creative and stunning.”

His elder son, John, nodded his head and replied, “True, Dad. The meat is tender and succulent and bursting with flavour.”

Keith was smiling from ear to ear and said, “My favourite nephew chose well. I haven’t tasted anything so delicious before. I am not a fan of veggies, but they melted in my mouth. Even the soft pap is beyond delicious.”

Portia was sitting beside Aunt Caroline eating her food quietly. Miss Avery’s culinary skills were outstanding. She was amazed by the deliciousness of the food.

After dinner, the Taylor family went to the living room. Mr Taylor senior looked at his sons and his daughter-in-law and said, “My precious grandson told me that my precious granddaughter in love introduced her to Miss Bridgette Evans as his mother-in-law.

He indicated that when Miss Evans was twelve years old, she was abducted and rescued by August.

When August’s wife was pregnant with my precious granddaughter in love, she refused to take care of her. Miss Evans volunteered to be her nanny until she went to university.

I have asked my precious grandson to invite her. I want to thank her in person for raising my precious granddaughter in love so well. Also, I want to see my famous artist. I like her work very much.”
