Chapter 254 I was Joking with Avery
When Lily heard Xavier’s words her eyes turned red because she wasn’t part of the plot to kill Avery. For the first time, she regretted breaking up Jordan and Avery. She wished she could press the rewind button.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Mrs Spencer was shocked when she heard Xavier’s words. She looked at Mrs Martins hoping that she would refute her son-in-law’s words, but she didn’t utter a word. She looked at Mrs Martins in a different light.
Xavier smiled at Mrs Spencer, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes and he said, “Mrs Spencer, there will come a time when you wish your family had never befriended Mrs Martins, but it will be too late.”
Mrs Spencer looked at Xavier with confusion in her eyes because her friendship with Mrs Martins was innocent, and it was because of their children.
However, she didn’t take it to heart because she felt that Xavier was holding a grudge against his mother-in-law.
Aiden looked at his sister with sorrow in his eyes. He was overwhelmed with bitterness. He knew that he messed up so many times and his sister had forgiven him several times, but he was still his biological brother.
Aiden was deeply hurt by being ignored by his sister. He had tried to mend his relationship with his sister several times to no avail. He visited his sister at the hospital to apologize but Avery told him that he was nothing to her.
He nearly fainted with anger when Siyabonga Cele addressed his sister’s husband as ‘Brother-in-law’ because Siyabonga was not blood-related to Avery.
In his sister’s heart, the Shelton brothers were more important than her biological brother and it hurt.
Xavier reached his hand and shook Mr Spencer’s hand, smiling, “Congratulations on being a grandfather. Your daughter told my wife that she was two months pregnant two months ago.”
Tiffany Spencer’s parents were shocked when they heard Xavier’s words. They looked at their daughter with questioning eyes. Tiffany felt humiliated and embarrassed.
Tiffany’s face turned pale and replied, “I was joking with Avery, I am not pregnant.” Xavier looked at her coldly, then they walked towards the Taylor family table.
Tiffany was fuming with anger. Lily didn’t tell her that Jordan was as poor as a church mouse. How could a Spencer family heiress marry a pauper? Also, she missed a chance to marry the handsome, Xavier Taylor.
Mr Bennet looked at Avery and sighed. He couldn’t understand why his foolish son dumped such a good woman. He felt that Tiffany was inferior to Avery in every aspect.
Mr Taylor Senior asked his son, John, to invite the Bennet family to avenge his precious granddaughter in love.
At the Martins’ family table, Mr Martins told his son, Aiden, that he was going to greet the Taylor family. He asked, “Do you want to go with me, Son?” Aiden shook his head and replied, “Dad, I am not related to Avery. Please go ahead.”
His father looked at him for a long time, then he walked towards the Taylor family main table. When Caia Ford saw Mr Martins she held her sister’s arm and asked, “Who is that handsome man?”
Caroline told her sister, Caia, that he was Avery’s father, August Martins. After Mr Martins greeted Mr Taylor senior, he greeted his best friend, John, and his wife.
Then he looked at Reece Ford and said, “Long time no see, Reece. Are you well?” Reece smiled broadly and replied, “It’s been a long time, August. All is well with us. How is your family?” August indicated that all was well with them as well.
He smiled brightly at Caia Ford and kissed her on both cheeks. Caia’s heart was beating uncontrollably against her chest. It was love at first sight. However, she was overwhelmed with bitterness. How could she fall in love with a married man?
Caia excused herself and went to the bathroom to cry. She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, then she pulled herself together and went back to the venue.
Her sister was so worried when she saw her sister with puffy red eyes and asked, “What is wrong, Caia?” She smiled at her sister and replied, “I have a throbbing headache.”
Caroline looked at her sister with concern and asked, “Do you want to go to the hospital?” Caia shook her head and replied, “Don’t worry about me, big sister. I just need to take a nap, then I will be alright.”
At that moment, Xavier and his wife approached them. Avery looked at Aunt Caia and asked, “Are you alright, Aunt Caia?” Her mother-in-law indicated that Caia had a headache.
Avery looked at her husband and said, “Honey, please accompany Aunt Caia to her room and I will go to our room to fetch the medication.”
Her mother-in-law smiled at her and replied, “Sweetheart, please take Xavier with you and I will accompany Caia to her room.” Avery nodded her head, then she left with her husband in tow.
Caroline told her husband and her mother that she was accompanying Caia to her room to take medication.
A few minutes later in Caia’s room, Caroline looked at her sister and asked, “What happened, Caia?” Caroline didn’t believe that her younger sister was sick because the Ford family was blessed with good health.
Caia looked at her sister with eyes full of tears and replied, “Big sis, I met my soulmate tonight, but he is already married. What have I done to the Lord to deserve this, big sis?” Tears streamed down on her face.
Caroline hugged her sister tightly and said, “I am so sorry, Caia. Why did he confess to you knowing full well that he was married? Please tell me his name. I am going to give him a piece of my mind. Did he want you to be his mistress?”
Caia shook her head and replied, “Big sis, he didn’t confess to me. I fell in love with him at first sight. However, before I confessed to him, I heard that he was already married. Hence, I am sad.
Big sis, please promise me that you will never tell anyone about this matter.” Caroline nodded her head and replied, “I promise, baby sister. I will pray and ask the Lord to remove this man from your heart.”
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Caroline walked to the door and opened it. She smiled brightly when she saw her son and her daughter-in-law. Then Xavier and Avery followed behind their mother.
Avery handed the painkillers to Aunt Caia and said, “Please eat something first, Aunt Caia.” Then Xavier gave his aunt a plate of food. Caia didn’t have an appetite, but she forced herself to eat a few spoons.
After Caia had taken the medicine, she looked at her sister and said, “Big sis, you don’t have to stay here with me. Please go back and accompany my brother-in-law. I will call you if I want something.” Caroline nodded her head, then she asked Xavier and Avery to leave.
