I Hope You Will Never Regret

At the Taylor family mansion, Xavier and Avery were changing into comfortable clothes. After they finished dressing up, Avery held her husband’s hand and led him to the sofa.

She looked at him and said, “Honey, promise me that you will not be angry.” Xavier was mesmerized by his wife’s beauty and replied, “I promise, my love.”

Avery flashed him a beautiful smile and said, “Honey, I have been thinking about our daughter, Sage. I am worried about her.

Is it possible to ask Mom to visit the Moore family to check on her? I have a feeling that Sage is not happy at the Moore mansion.

Remember her maternal grandmother indicated that she would never acknowledge Sage as her granddaughter because of her mother’s betrayal.

Why don’t we send food every month to support our daughter? Also, Sage is supposed to be doing Grade RR. Why don’t we send her to school next term?”

Xavier took his wife in his arms and kissed her for a long time. He looked at her with eyes full of love and said, “You are amazing, my stunning wife.

I love your kindness. You have touched my heart deeply, my love. Sage wants to kill you, but you are worried about her.

To be honest with you, I don’t want to associate myself with anything to do with the Moore family. I don’t know if I will ever forgive them for the pain they put me through.

However, I will listen to you, my love. Let’s go to the elders and tell them.” Then they headed to the living room hand in hand.

They sat on the sofa and Xavier said, “Grandpa, we are worried about Sage’s wellbeing since she left the Taylor mansion while she was not fully recovered.

Also, we want to send food every month to the Moore family to support our daughter. Since Sage is five years old, we were thinking of sending her to school next term. What do you think, Grandpa?”

Grandpa Taylor was impressed by his granddaughter in love. He smiled at her, then he turned to his daughter-in-law and said, “Caroline, please call Mrs Moore and tell her that you will be visiting Sage. Please put the phone on speaker.”

Caroline was reluctant to speak to Valery. Her former best friend was an opportunist. She was scared that Valery would demand benefits for looking after Sage.

Caroline took her phone and dialed Valery’s number. She was praying silently for Valery not to answer her phone. The phone started ringing until it went to voicemail. Caroline was over the moon.

Unbeknownst to her, while the phone was ringing it was in Valery’s hand. She wanted to guide her granddaughter on how to respond should her paternal grandmother want to speak to her.

She was scared of the Taylor family’s wrath should they find out that their precious granddaughter was treated as a maid by the Moore family. Sage was paying for her late mother’s sins.

A few minutes later, Caroline tried again, and it went straight to voicemail. She tried again after fifteen minutes, and it went through.

Valery sneered, “Hello, Caroline. How may I help you?” Caroline smiled and replied, “Hello Valery, I miss my granddaughter. Do you mind if I visit her?”

Valery scoffed, “Caroline, the Taylor family disowned Sage. Therefore, you don’t have the right to visit her. She is no longer related to you.”

Caroline was dumbfounded and replied, “Valery, I wanted to discuss Sage’s schooling with you and also bring a monthly support allowance.”

Valery sneered, “Caroline, did you find that your precious daughter-in-law is infertile? Hence, you go back on your word and want to take my granddaughter away from the Moore family?

Caroline, please don’t act superior to us because your family has little money. Do you think we won’t be able to feed Sage? For your information, Sage is attending preschool as we speak.”

Valery was lying through her teeth. Sage was Valeria’s maid and her punching bag when she was angry.

Sage felt that she would never be fully recovered because of the slaps she was getting from Aunt Valeria daily. The Moore family had turned her life into a nightmare. The love she was craving never came.

Sometimes she went to bed with an empty stomach because she made her beloved aunt angry. She missed the Taylor family a lot. She was pampered like a princess by everyone. Even her stepmother, Aunt Avery, was very good to her.

She was regretting listening to Aunt Getty and Aunt Valeria. However, it was too late. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.

Sage was cursing the day she met Aunt Valeria. She vowed that one day she would avenge herself and her mother. Her mother was killed by her maternal grandmother, and she was unapologetic about that.

Her maternal grandmother had never showered her with love. She made it clear that she was nothing to her because of her late mother’s betrayal.

She missed the hugs and the kisses from her paternal grandmother. She wished she could press the rewind button.

The Moore family would pay back tenfold for every pain they put her through. She hated them to the core.

Caroline was so shocked when she heard Valery’s words and replied, “Valery, I really miss my granddaughter. Please let me speak to her.”

Grandma Valery shot Sage a warning look, then she handed the phone to her. Sage forced a smile and said, “Hello Grandma.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Caroline smiled brightly and asked, “How are you, my granddaughter?” Sage sneered, “Mrs Taylor, please refrain from calling my Grandma. We don’t need anything from the Taylor family.

How could you choose an outsider over your biological grandchild? Please don’t bother us anymore. I will never go back to the Taylor family who abandoned me when I needed them the most.

I am so glad that you refused to change my last name to Taylor because I hate your family with passion. You protected the murderer who killed my mother because she came from a wealthy family.

The Taylor family is dead to me. Stop harassing us because you are rich. Not everything revolves around you.” Then she hung up the phone.

Grandma Caroline was utterly dumbfounded. She didn’t see it coming. She thought Sage would cry and asked her to fetch her. However, Sage did the opposite.

Mr Taylor senior felt a surge of anger rising within him and said, “I am not surprised that my great-granddaughter has turned her back on us.

It is clear to me that they have told her lies about her mother’s death. Hence, she is still blaming my granddaughter-in-love for killing her mother.”

Avery held her husband’s hand and said, “I am sorry, my handsome husband. I didn’t want us to neglect our responsibility of taking care of our daughter. It is clear to me that I am Sage’s enemy number one in her books.”

Xavier looked at his wife with gentleness in his eyes and replied, “Sweetheart, it was not your fault. The Moore family had fed Sage with lies.”

Her mother-in-law hugged her and said, “My sweet daughter, we appreciate what you have done. Valery is a bad person with no morals. She will use Sage as a pawn to gain benefits.”

That night, Sage cried herself to sleep. She was overwhelmed with bitterness. Her maternal grandmother had threatened her by her late mother’s grave.

Grandma Valery indicated that she would destroy her late mother’s grave should she tell the Taylor family about the abuse she was getting from Aunt Valeria.
