I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 279 Confession



At the Taylor mansion, the atmosphere was lively. Grandpa Taylor was in the garden with his friends. They came to give gifts to his granddaughter in love. He was smiling from ear to ear.

Ross dropped his grandfather early because he had an appointment with the beautiful Gabriella.

Caroline told her husband her sister’s secret. John was over the moon. He promised to invite his best friend, August Martins, to create the opportunity for his sister-in-law, Caia.

They were sitting in the living room chatting and laughing. Caia’s eyes lit up when she saw her future husband. She walked to the living room with juice and muffins on a tray.

She smiled shyly at him and said, “Please quench your thirst, my …in-law.” She nearly said, ‘My future husband’. Mr Martins smiled brightly and thanked her.

Xavier and his friends were in the tree house discussing the stock markets. Xander looked at his best friend, Hunter, and said, “Hunter, you must try to move on. Your ex-girlfriend doesn’t deserve you.

One day you will find someone who will love you wholeheartedly.” Xavier nodded his head and replied, “That is true, Hunter. Look at me and Avery. I never thought I would ever date again, but Avery moved my dead heart.”

Hunter and his girlfriend had broken up a month ago. She indicated that she wasn’t happy in their relationship. Hunter was so devastated because he really loved her. He thought she was his soulmate.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

He smiled broadly at his friends and said, “I am over her, Xander. To prove it to you, the first lady who will confess to me, I will marry her.”

Everyone laughed out loud because Hunter was cold and unapproachable. Unbeknownst to him, that day a beautiful lady would confess to him sooner than he had expected.

Grandpa Taylor had asked Avery to cook beef short rib and steamed bread for his friends. Avery invited Portia because she had told her she had fallen in love with Hunter at the Gala.

At that time, Avery asked Portia to give up because Hunter was head over heels in love with someone else. She didn’t want her bodyguard and friend to be a homewrecker.

When Xavier told her about Hunter’s breakup, she decided to tell Portia the good news. So, when her grandfather-in-law told her about his friends’ visit, she decided to invite Portia.

Aunt Caia and Portia were in the kitchen helping her. Her mother-in-law was resting in her bedroom.

Aunt Caia was absent-minded. She nearly cut her finger with a knife when she was cutting the carrots. Avery hugged her and asked, “What is wrong, my beautiful Aunt?”

Aunt Caia flashed her a beautiful smile and replied, “Nothing, my stunning niece. I am thinking about a beautiful soul, who makes my heart race uncontrollably against my chest.”

Avery smiled brightly because she knew that Aunt Caia was thinking about her father. She looked at her and replied, “I wish you all the best. May that beautiful soul love you back, Aunt Caia. When are you confessing your love to him?”

Aunt Caia smiled back at her future stepdaughter and said, “I decided to confess my love after your wedding ceremony. I am scared of rejection.” Avery nodded her head and replied, “I will pray for you, Aunt Caia.”

Aunt Caia smiled brightly and hugged her tightly. She was praying in her heart for Avery not to be angry when she found out that she wanted to be her stepmother.

Unbeknownst to her, Avery was overjoyed when Xavier told her that Aunt Caia had a crush on her father. She wanted her father to be happy.

Portia smiled at Caia and said, “We are in the same boat. However, I will confess my love to my beautiful soul today. I am scared to approach him, but I have nothing to lose.” Caia hugged her and said, “Good luck, Portia.”

Avery smiled at Portia and said, “Portia, please go to the tree house and ask Hunter if they would eat in the dining room or at the tree house.” Portia smiled beautifully at her, then she went to the tree house.

Aunt Caia looked at Avery with a confused expression and asked, “Is Hunter her crush?” Avery smiled and nodded her head.

Portia walked into the tree house, then she smiled shyly at Hunter, and asked, “Mr Woods, should I bring the food here or are you going to join your grandfather?”

Hunter smiled broadly when he saw the beautiful lady and asked, “What is your name, pretty lady?” Portia smiled shyly at him and replied, “My name is Portia Butler. Do you have a girlfriend, Mr Woods?”

Hunter was taken aback and replied, “No, I don’t have a girlfriend, Miss Butler. Do you want to be my girlfriend?” Portia nodded her head and replied, “Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend, Mr Woods.”

Hunter smiled broadly, then he walked to Portia and hugged her tightly. He kissed her on top of her head and replied, “I would like to be your boyfriend, Miss Butler.”

Portia couldn’t believe her ears. She didn’t know what to say. Everyone smiled and Xander shouted, “Hello sister-in-law.” Portia was so shy she buried herself in Hunter’s chest.

Hunter looked at his shy girlfriend grinning from ear to ear and said, “We will eat here, Sweetheart. Please call me when the food is ready. I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”

Portia felt a surge of warmth flowing through her heart. She smiled sweetly at her new boyfriend, then she left.

When she walked into the kitchen, Avery smiled brightly at her and asked, “Did you confess, Portia?” She nodded her head and replied, “Yes, I did. My handsome Hunter agreed to be my boyfriend.”

Avery hugged her and said, “Congratulations, Portia. Hunter is a good man.” Aunt Caia hugged her as well. She wished she could just confess to her future husband as well.

Avery washed the three-legged pots and started plating. She cut the steamed bread into slices and placed it on the white plates. Then she put beef short ribs stew in the three-legged pots.

For her husband and his friend, she put the beef short ribs stew, the steamed bread, and the salads in the casserole dishes.

She took her phone and dialed her husband’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Honey, would you be so kind as to invite our grandfather to the dining room?” Xavier smiled and replied, “I am on my way, my stunning wife.”

Then Xavier approached his grandpa and the others and said, “Grandpa, lunch is ready.” Grandpa Taylor and his friends went to the dining room smiling.

Aunt Caia took the basin with warm water and walked to the dining room to help them wash their hands.

Xavier went to the kitchen to fetch their food. He smiled at his wife, then he turned to Portia and said, “Please ask your boyfriend to fetch the food, Portia.”

Portia handed her phone to Xavier and said, “Xavier, kindly save his phone number for me.” Xavier took Portia’s phone, then he saved Hunter’s phone number. He handed the phone back to Portia.

Portia thanked him then she dialed Hunter’s phone number. When it was connected, she said sweetly, “My future husband, the food is ready.”

Hunter smiled brightly when he heard the way Portia was addressing him and replied, “I am on my way, my future wife.” Portia giggled, and then they hung up.
