I Hope You Will Never Regret

Mr Martins went with Avery to the Evans mansion. After lunch, Aunt Rose, Bridgette and Avery bade farewell to the Evans family. Bridgette’s mother had tears in her eyes, it was hard saying goodbye. She hugged Aunt Rose tightly and said, “My dearest sister, this is your home. You are welcome here anytime.”

Aunt Rose wiped her tears and replied, “Thank you for your hospitality; I am blessed to have you as my sister. Why don’t we meet every month, maybe for a weekend or for a week?” Suzie smiled brightly and replied, “I like that, and it’s a date. Let’s make it a week.” Aunt Rose nodded her head, then she walked to her nephew’s car.

Suzie hugged her beloved daughter and said, “I am so proud of you, my Sweetheart. I thank the Lord for blessing me with you. You have brought me nothing but joy in my life. I love you so much.” Bridgette smiled brightly at her mother and replied, “I love you more, Mommy. Thank you for showering me with love. You are the best mother ever.”

Suzie took Avery in her arms and said, “Sweetheart, we love you so much. This is your home. We miss you already, my God granddaughter.” Avery smiled brightly and replied, “I love you too, Grandma. Thank you so much for being there for me when I needed you the most. I will never forget the kindness that you have shown to me.” Avery kissed her on both cheeks.

God grandpa Paul took Avery in his arms and walked to Bridgette’s car and put her in the back seat. Then he went back to his wife without uttering a word to his daughter. He was so sad to see them leaving. He hugged his wife tightly.

Suzie smiled at her husband and said, “Honey, don’t be upset, the Martins mansion is just around the corner. You can visit her anytime you want. If you want, I can ask her to visit us on a monthly basis.” Paul hugged his wife tightly, then he kissed her on top of the head.

When Butler Bruce saw Mr Martins’ car, he went outside to open the door for him. His eyes lit up when he saw Aunt Rose in the car. He smiled brightly and said, “Welcome back, we really missed you.” Aunt Rose smiled brightly and replied, “Thank you Butler Bruce, I am happy to be back.”

Shortly afterwards, Bridgette parked her car beside Uncle Martins’ car, then she took Avery in her arms and walked to the house. Butler Bruce took Aunt Rose’s suitcase and gave it to Hope. Then he walked to Bridgette’s car to take Miss Evans and Miss Martins’ suitcases. Uncle Martins picked up the piano and went to his daughter’s room.

During dinner, Bridgette and Avery went to the dining room to eat. Her father asked Aunt Rose to join them. Aunt Rose was reluctant to eat with Elizabeth, but she sat between her nephew and her granddaughter. There was an awkwardness in the air. They ate their food in silence.

After dinner, Avery excused herself and went back to her room. Aunt Bridgette followed behind her. Aunt Rose went back to her room to rest. Mr Martins indicated to his wife that he had a lot of work, and then he went to his study room. Mrs Martins was left with Aiden in the living room. She looked at her son and said, “My favourite son, please go to your sister’s room to apologize.” Aiden nodded his head, then he left.

He knocked on the door, then his sister gave him permission to enter. When he saw a piano, he became angry. Why was his sister so lucky? He knew in his heart that the piano had been bought by Bridgette’s parents and they were his sister’s God grandparents. Why did everyone love Avery but not him? He was jealous of his sister. Even at school, all the teachers loved her so much for bringing glory to the school.

He looked at his sister coldly and asked, “Avery, why didn’t you tell me that the Galaxy Star Projector was a gift from your nanny?” Avery smiled faintly and replied, “You didn’t give me a chance to explain. Also, stop calling her like that, she is older than you. Daddy didn’t raise you up to look down on people.”

Something snapped in Aiden’s heart. He didn’t care about his beloved mother’s warning. He wanted to beat his sister up. He walked to Avery step by step and said, “You are so vicious at the tender age. Do you think I don’t know that you set me up because you wanted to have Daddy to yourself?”

Avery looked at her brother with fear in her eyes. It was clear that her brother wanted to beat her up. Aiden raised his hand. Avery closed her eyes, but the pain didn’t come. Someone pushed him away. When Aunt Bridgette heard Aiden shouting at Avery, she felt that something was wrong.

Aunt Bridgette’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Aiden, what are you trying to do to your sister?” Aiden looked at Aunt Bridgette with disdain in his eyes and said, “It’s none of your business. Don’t interfere in the Martins’ affairs. Know your place.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Aunt Bridgette looked at him coldly and replied, “Avery is my business. If you ever raise your filthy hand to Avery, I will break all your limbs. If you don’t believe me, ask your mother. Avery is not your punching bag. There comes a time when you will beg for your sister’s attention, but it will be too late to regret it.”

Aiden scoffed and sneered, “That day will never come because, in my heart, Avery is no longer my sister. I came here to teach her a lesson. She didn’t tell me that the Galaxy Star Project was her gift from you. She made me believe that it was bought by my father. Do you think I am here to beg for her forgiveness? I wished my mother had aborted her when she was in her womb. I hate her with all my heart. From today onwards she is dead to me.” Avery looked at her brother with sadness in her eyes, but she didn’t utter a word. Aiden kicked the piano, then he left his sister’s room.

Aunt Elizabeth hugged Avery tightly and said, “I am sorry, Sweetheart. I thought they would treat you well after your uncle’s threat. It is clear that it was my wishful thinking. I am glad that you will be taking your cast off this week. I hope Aiden will not try to beat you up at school.” Aunt Bridgette helped her with her pajamas and slept next to her. A few minutes later, she was fast asleep. Bridgette sent a text message to Uncle Martins telling him about Aiden’s visit.
