I Hope You Will Never Regret

The sweet melody was heard, it was beautiful. Ethan had a unique and soulful voice. Avery couldn’t contain herself, tears streamed down her eyes. Ethan’s song touched her deeply. She felt loved.

After he finished playing the song, he bowed, walked to his big sister, and hugged her. He wiped his sister’s tears and asked, “Why are you crying?”

Avery giggled and replied, “I am so happy, and I have received everything you have said gladly. What a beautiful song!”

Grandma Rose hugged him tightly and said, “You have a beautiful voice, young man.” Ethan thanked Grandma Rose and walked back to his seat.

Uncle August smiled at him and said, “Your voice is so rich at a young age. Are you going to study music when you are older?”

Ethan smiled and replied, “No, Sir. I will study Metallurgy and Materials Engineering.” Uncle August was taken aback. He thought Ethan would study Business Management because he was the heir of the Shelton Group.

Uncle August smiled and replied, “You chose well, Ethan. I wish you all the best.” Ethan thanked Uncle August, then he sat down.

Uncle August turned to Logan and asked, “What are you going to study when you are older, Logan?” Logan smiled and replied, “I will study Law and I will be the best lawyer in the country, Uncle August.”

Uncle August smiled and replied, “You will be a great lawyer, Logan. May I call you when I need to sue someone?”

Logan nodded his head and replied, “Uncle August, I will be staying with my Big Sis to protect her from Aunt Elizabeth and Lily.” Uncle Martins was not surprised when he heard Logan’s words because they were protective of Avery.

After Mr Martins bade goodnight to everyone, he walked to his villa. Butler Bruce followed him.

Mr Martins stopped and asked, “Is there something you need?” Butler Bruce looked at his boss and said, “Sir, may I have a word?”

Mr Martins invited him into his villa, and then he ushered him into the living room. They sat on the sofa. Butler Bruce didn’t know where to start.

He was so scared; he looked at his boss and said, “Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize in advance. It is not my intention to offend you.”

Mr Martins looked at him and asked, “What is wrong, Bruce?” He met Butler Bruce twenty years ago and it was the first time he had seen him so shy.

Butler Bruce looked at his nails and replied, “Sir, I am getting married.” Mr Martins was overjoyed and hugged Butler Bruce. He asked, smiling, “Who is your bride?”

Butler Bruce was so shocked when he heard his boss asking him about his bride and said, “Huh?” Mr Martins was puzzled and asked, “Didn’t you say you were getting married? Who is the bride?”

Butler Bruce stammered and replied, “I.. am.. not getting …married, Sir. I made a mistake. Sir, I would like to ask permission to date someone.” Mr Martins looked strangely at him and asked, “Who?”

Butler Bruce scratched his head and replied, “It’s… Sir, please don’t be angry with me.” Mr Martins looked at him and said, “I promise I am not going to be angry.”

Butler Bruce looked at his boss and said, “Sir, please don’t go back on your word. May I date Miss Walker?” Mr Martins laughed out loud and replied, “You are a good man, Bruce. Go ahead and I give you my blessing.”

Butler Bruce heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Sir. I promise I will treat her as a queen.” Mr Martins nodded his head and replied, “I trust you that you will never hurt my aunt.” Then Bruce left and went to his villa.

The following day, the weather was beautiful. After breakfast, Butler Bruce, Clayton, and Prince took the Shelton twins to Mac Banana to visit the animal farm.

Suzie walked to Aunt Rose’s villa and said, “The weather is warm, let’s go to the beach.” The beach was a few metres away.

Aunt Rose looked at Suzie and said, “Let’s meet in half an hour’s time. I will ask Chef Ambrose to prepare a picnic basket for us.”

Suzie nodded her head, then she walked to her daughter’s villa. Bridgette was sitting on the balcony with Avery.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Their eyes were glued to the blue ocean, listening to the waves splashing gently against the shore. It was calming and relaxing.

At that moment, they heard someone knocking on the door. Avery went to open the door. She smiled brightly when she saw her God grandmother and said, “We are sitting on the balcony watching the beautiful ocean.”

Avery led her God grandmother to the balcony. She smiled at them and said, “I am here to fetch you, young ladies. You can’t hide indoors in this beautiful weather. The beach is waiting for us.”

Half an hour later, they met outside Aunt Rose’s villa wearing their swimsuits and bikinis. Avery was wearing a swimsuit with a mini dress on top. She was showing off her stunning legs.

Bridgette’s mother was wearing a bikini and an oversized shirt on top. Bridgette looked at her mother and asked, “Is it my father’s shirt?”

Her mother nodded her head smiling and replied, “I borrowed it from his closet.” Bridgette laughed out loud and replied, “It suits you, Mommy.”

Aunt Rose was wearing a white shirtdress on top of her swimsuit. Hope was wearing a bikini and a scarf sarong, showing off her curvaceous body. She was stunning.

Bridgette looked at her and said, “Hope you are so beautiful.” Hope smiled and replied, “Thank you, I like your kimono.” Bridgette was wearing a bikini and an orange kimono on top.

They walked to the beach chatting and laughing. Avery looked at Aunt Bridgette and said, “Next year I am going to stay at the university. Are you going to start dating?”

Aunt Bridgette giggled and replied, “I haven’t met someone who makes my heart beat uncontrollably against my chest yet.

When I was young, I wanted to have a big wedding and a child, but my dream changed. I am looking forward to your wedding.”

Avery smiled brightly and said, “Aunt Bridge, I will find the most handsome man for you. My dream is to get married when I am nineteen years old.

I will ensure that I finish my studies in three years’ time.” Unbeknownst to them, it would come to pass.

Her God grandma smiled and said, “I cannot wait to be the mother of the bride. I have to find someone for Rose as well. Rose, don’t you want to get married again?”
