I Hope You Will Never Regret

Edwin didn’t even look at her; he turned to his brother-in-law and said, “Please hand the divorce papers to Elizabeth. I don’t want to leave you with this trash. She doesn’t deserve you.” August looked at his brother-in-law and replied, “I promised my daughter that I would not divorce Elizabeth yet. Elizabeth told Aiden that I wanted to divorce her because of Bridgette. I don’t want to tarnish Bridgette’s reputation.”

Edwin looked at his sister coldly and said, “You are so smart, you even managed to deceive your son. I am going to teach you a lesson. I am no longer going to Australia. I want you to feel the pain of knowing that I am just two hours’ drive away, but you will never see or speak to me.” Elizabeth’s heart was in pain, it was as if someone was stabbing her heart. She looked at her brother with sorrow in her eyes, but she didn’t utter a word. She didn’t believe that her only brother would ignore her forever.

Edwin went to the garden; he asked his daughter and his nephew to come back. The children went back to the house. Edwin looked at his daughter and said, “Sweetheart, I thought we would wait for Avery to come back home but something happened, and we had to leave today. We will visit your cousin another time.”

Then he turned to Aiden and said with a stern face, “Nephew, please don’t believe everything your mother is whispering in your ears. My sister is not a saint. Your role as big brother is to protect your sister and no one will come between you. Should you fail to protect her, someone else will take your position in her heart. When that happens, you will have no one to blame but yourself.”

Aiden nodded his head, but he didn’t say anything. After he realized that his mother was using her, he decided to mend his relationship with his sister. He started panicking; he would never allow anyone to take his position in his sister’s heart. When she came back home, he would apologize to her.

Mr Martins asked Clayton to park his brother-in-law’s car in the driveway. Elizabeth looked at her brother with pleading eyes and said, “Big brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me; I will never come between my son and his sister. Please don’t ignore me. My life will be meaningless without you by my side.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Edwin looked at his sister and replied, “I will forgive you when I hear that you treat Aunt Rose as your elderly and the relationship between your children is harmonious. Also, you have to go to church more and ask the Lord to change your heart. You know Elizabeth, because of your evilness and your selfishness, I asked the Lord to take me with my family when I die. My heart will not rest if they stay behind in your care.”

Elizabeth was so shocked. The tears streamed down her beautiful face. Her brother’s words hurt her deeply. What kind of a prayer was that? She prayed in her heart, asking the Lord not to listen to her brother’s prayer. She would never hurt her niece, Lily. She was confident in her heart that her beloved brother would come into his senses and talk to her again. Their bond was strong, and no one would break it.

At that moment, Clayton told Mr Martins that the car was ready. The Parker family bade farewell to the Martins family, then they left. Elizabeth’s eyes were red and puffy from crying and her cheeks were swollen. She was sitting on the sofa like a log of wood. Her face was burning. She looked at Hope and shouted, “Hope, don’t you see that I am hurt? Did I pay you to be idle? Bring me an ice pack immediately.”

Hope looked at her and ignored her. She was in the kitchen washing dishes. Elizabeth was fuming, she rushed to Hope. She wanted to teach her a lesson. In her house she was looked down by a mere servant. She would show her who the boss was. She raised her hand up and tried to slap her, but Hope grabbed her wrist and twisted it. Mrs Martins screamed, she felt that her arm was dislocated.

Hope smiled faintly at her and said, “Mrs Martins, don’t be deceived by the uniform that I am wearing. I have been fighting since I was a toddler. However, I will let this matter slide because of my respect towards Mr Martins, but if you ever try to hit me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Then Hope pushed her away, Mrs Martins staggered a few steps before she stabilized herself. Mrs Martins looked at Hope with cold eyes and walked back to the living room crying. She felt humiliated; even the mere servant threatened her.

At that moment, her husband and her son walked into the living room. Elizabeth looked at her husband with disdain in her eyes and said, “August, I wish I had never met you. You are so weak; you allowed another man to beat up your wife in front of you but you failed to stand up for me. You even allow the mere servant to bully me. I asked Hope to give me an ice pack, but she ignored me. Who am I to you, August?”

August looked at Aiden and said, “Son, please go back to your room. I want to speak to your mother.” Elizabeth wanted to stop her son from leaving, but August looked at his son coldly. Then Aiden looked at his mother with sadness, and then he left the living room and went to his bedroom.

August’s gaze was so cold and replied, “You are nothing to me, Elizabeth. Today is the happiest day of my life. Please don’t spoil it. Seeing your beloved brother cut ties with you made my day. This is karma. You will reap what you sow, Elizabeth. Why are you always targeting Hope? She is not the only helper in this house. Are you blind? Don’t you see that Hope is busy in the kitchen?” He didn’t give his wife a chance to respond, he quickly went to the study room.

After Hope finished cleaning the kitchen, she took the ice pack from the fridge, and then she sat beside Mrs Martin and started applying the ice pack on her madam’s cheeks. The coldness of ice eased the discomfort and pain in her cheeks, but she didn’t even thank her. She looked at her coldly, and then she went to her bedroom to rest. Hope looked at her back and shook her head.
