I Hope You Will Never Regret

On Friday morning, Clayton parked an elegant customized black Bentley SUV and a Silver Audi Q7 in the driveway. A few minutes later, Pastor Basil arrived at the Martins residence.

Avery was overjoyed when she saw Grandpa Basil and asked, “Grandpa, have you eaten breakfast?” Grandpa smiled and replied, “My beautiful granddaughter, I thought I was late, and I skipped breakfast.”

Avery walked to the kitchen to prepare English breakfast for her grandfather. A few minutes later, Avery ushered Grandpa Basil into the dining room. She stayed in the dining room to keep Grandpa Basil company.

When Grandpa Basil finished eating, Avery cleaned the dining table and took dishes to the kitchen. A few minutes later, Pastor Basil led them in prayer, and he asked the Lord for protection.

Mr Martins walked to the Bentley with his children, Pastor Basil and Gabriella Stone. Hope and Bridgette walked to the Audi. Even though Elizabeth didn’t like them, they decided to attend the funeral to bid farewell to the Parker couple.

When they arrived at the Parker mansion, Lily and her aunt were in the living room talking. Lily was telling her that Aunt Mia had told her that her parents had chosen her to be her guardian. Aunt Rose was in the kitchen with the helpers.

Mr Martins walked into the house, followed by Pastor Basil. When Lily saw Hope and Bridgette, she looked at them with disdain and disgust in her eyes and said, “What are you doing in my house? Please leave.”

Avery looked at Lily and said, “Please calm down, Lily. They are not here for you but your parents. They came to pay their respect to them.”

Lily was livid and said, “Since when did you become their spokesperson? Why don’t you join them too? I don’t want to see your mug face in my house.”

Avery smiled at her father and said, “Daddy, we are going to sleep at the hotel. We will meet you at the cemetery.” Then she looked at Aunt Bridgette and said, “Let’s go.”

Avery took her suitcase and left with Gabriella in tow. Her mother was overjoyed when her niece chased them away. Aiden looked at his mother and shook his head. He wanted to follow Avery, but he was scared of his mother.

Pastor Basil looked at August and said, “Son, I am going with my granddaughter, I feel we are not welcomed here.” Clayton followed them to the car. Then they left. Butler Bruce looked at his boss and asked, “Sir, are we leaving too?”

Mr Martins replied, “Not yet. We will leave later. Then Butler Bruce walked to the kitchen to greet Aunt Rose. Butler Bruce hugged her and kissed her on both cheeks and said, “Are you alright?” Aunt Rose beamed with joy and replied, “I am well. Thank you. Are you leaving as well?”

Butler Bruce replied, “We are not welcome here. Are you going back home after the funeral or on Sunday?” Aunt Rose sighed and replied, “I don’t know anymore, since Avery and others are not welcomed here. Maybe I will go back with them tomorrow after the funeral.”

The Shelton couple were about to leave when they met Avery and others in the hotel foyer. They were over the moon when they saw Avery. Godmother Mia hugged her tightly and asked, “What are you doing here, my beautiful Avery?”

Avery smiled and replied, “Lily chased us away from her house. Hence, we are here.” Godmother Mia was so shocked she didn’t utter a word. She looked at her husband and said, “I don’t want to go anymore, let’s keep our granddaughter company.”

Brad nodded his head, and then he helped Avery with her suitcase. Avery had her own presidential suite. Since her grandpa was an elder, she booked a presidential suite for him. Unfortunately, there were no available presidential suites.

She booked five rooms and she paid with her father’s black card. Then she took her presidential suite keys from her purse and handed them to Grandpa Basil. She smiled sweetly at him and said, “Grandpa, please use my presidential suite.” Grandpa Basil smiled brightly and took the room key.

Clayton took his room key, and then he followed Pastor Basil with the suitcases. Mr Shelton took his Goddaughter and Gabriella’s suitcases, and he followed them. Godmother Mia was talking and laughing with them. Then Mr Turner, helped Bridgette and Hope with their suitcases.

The Shelton brothers, Ethan and Logan went to Avery’s room to visit her. They were over the moon when they saw her. Login looked at Avery and asked smiling, “When are you visiting us again, big Sis?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Avery smiled and replied, “I believe it is your turn to visit me this time, handsome Logan. Tell me when you are visiting me?”

Login looked at his mother and asked, “Since it’s school holidays, can we visit our sister, Mommy?” His mother ruffled her youngest son’s hair and replied, “Ask Daddy.” Logan walked to his father and looked at him with his beautiful eyes, but he didn’t utter a word.

His father smiled broadly at his son and replied, “Where are you going to stay if we leave you behind?” Ethan replied smiling, “Daddy, we will stay at my sister’s mansion and sleep with her in her bedroom.”

Their father shook his head and said, “Avery is a girl. She needs privacy. I don’t want you to stay in a hotel.”

Avery smiled sweetly at her Godfather and said, “Don’t worry, Godfather, my brothers will stay in my room, and I will move to Aunt Bridge’s room. I will be happy to have them in my house.”

Logan and Ethan looked at their father smiling brightly, waiting for his decision. Their father nodded his head and said, “Alright, you can visit your sister for a couple of days.” Logan hugged his father and thanked him. Ethan hugged his mother and kissed her.

Logan walked to Avery and asked, “When are we leaving?” Avery smiled and replied, “We were supposed to leave on Sunday, but I have changed my mind. We will be leaving after the funeral. Lily doesn’t want us in her house, and then there is no need for us to stay in Richards Bay.”

Ethan looked at his sister and asked, “What if Lily forbids you to attend her parents’ funeral, what are you going to do?” Avery’s face became dark and replied, “We will respect her wishes because it’s her parents.

However, I will never forgive her for denying me the right to pay my last respect to the beautiful souls whom I loved the most. I would be deeply hurt should she do that.”

The Shelton family stayed with Avery for an hour, and they went back to their room. Avery called Aunt Bridgette and said, “Aunt Bridge, I am taking a nap, please wake me up before 12 pm.” Aunt Bridgette promised to wake her up. Then they hung up.
