I Hope You Will Never Regret

A month later on Friday, Avery took Gabriella to His Mercy restaurant for lunch. They were holding each other’s hands chatting and laughing. When they went to their private room, they bumped into Jordan walking out of the private room with a lady.

Their eyes met and the smile on Avery’s face froze. Avery quickened her pace. Jordan excused himself then he followed Avery to their private room. He greeted them and said, “Avery, may I have a word?”

Avery looked at Gabriella and said, “I will be back after five minutes.” Then she followed Jordan. She closed the door then she stopped outside the door. She looked at Jordan and said, “Mr Bennet, you have four minutes.”

Jordan smiled and replied, “Baby, I missed you. Please forgive me for everything I’ve done. Please unblock my number.” Avery looked at him and asked, “Are you done?”

Jordan nodded his head then Avery replied coldly, “I forgive you, Mr Bennet. Please stop pestering me.” She was about to open the door when Jordan suddenly hugged her tightly. Avery struggled to get out of his arms.

Jordan looked at her and said, “Baby, I was wrong. I love you.” Jordan’s words melted Avery’s heart. All the anger she had in her heart dissipated. She buried herself in his arms. Jordan sneered in his heart; he would never marry her.

Avery looked at Jordan with eyes brimming with tears and said, “I love you too, my love. Who is that lady you were having lunch with?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Jordan smiled and asked, “Are you jealous?” Avery shook her head and replied, “I was just asking because I don’t like jumping to conclusions.” Jordan was reminded of the day he thought Avery was having an affair with Dr Lambert.

Jordan explained, “She is my HR Manager. I took her out to thank her for her brilliant job. There is nothing between us.” Avery nodded her head and said, “I wasn’t accusing you of cheating on me. My love, I am going back to my private room, I am starving.”

Jordan was reluctant to let her go. He kissed her on top of her head and said, “Baby, please unblock my number. I will take you out for dinner soon.” Then he let her go. Avery smiled brightly at him then she opened the door and entered the private room.

Avery smiled at Gabriella and said, “I decided to give Jordan a second chance. He told me that he loved me.” Gabriella looked at her best friend and said, “I am glad that you made up with your boyfriend. However, I don’t trust him.”

Avery smiled and replied, “I can’t help it, my friend. I love him deeply. I have been praying for the past three months to the Lord to remove Jordan from my heart to no avail. Deep down in my heart, I know that he loves the benefit I am giving him.”

Then she took her phone and unblocked Jordan’s number. She sent him a text message, “I love you more.” Jordan looked at the text message and replied, “Baby, thank you for everything. Do you mind if I take you out to dinner tomorrow evening?”

Jordan was tired of his mother’s nagging about the house in the suburb. He was hoping that Avery would give him the mansion and the Penthouse set of keys during their date. He was tired of staying in the slums.

Avery read Jordan’s text and replied, “I am sorry, my love. My schedule is very tight. Tomorrow I will be at the hospital shadowing Dr Lambert. Next week, I will be busy with my exams until the 10th of June.”

Jordan wasn’t aware that Avery was doing a first and second year at the same time. He was puzzled when he read Avery’s text message. He took his phone and called the Faculty of Health Sciences and asked for the first-year students’ timetable.

The timetable showed that the exams would start on the 15th of May until the 2nd of June. It was clear to him that Avery was lying through her teeth. He was fuming with anger; Avery was playing him like a fiddle.

He looked at the timetable again, on the 16th of May, Avery was not writing. He told himself that he would go to the university early in the morning to watch Avery’s every move.

He greeted his teeth and replied, “I wish you the best of luck with your exams, Sweetheart.” Avery smiled brightly and thanked him.

On the 16th, Jordan drove his car early in the morning and parked his car opposite Avery’s dormitory. At 8:30, he saw Avery walking toward the university building, carrying the pencil case and a ruler.

He was puzzled he got out of his car. He saw another student going in the same direction. He quickened his pace and asked, “Sorry to trouble you; are Medicine first-year students writing today?”

The student shook her head and replied, “Only second-year students are writing today. Are you looking for someone?” Jordan smiled and replied, “I am looking for Avery Martins. Do you know her?”

The student smiled brightly and replied, “Avery is doing both first and second year. She is writing today until the 10th of June. You just missed her. Do you want me to give her a message?”

Jordan smiled and replied, “No, I will come back later when she is done with her exam. Best of luck with your exams.” The student thanked him then she went to the exam hall.

Jordan was aware that Avery was a genius, but he never heard before of someone doing first and second year at the same time. He thanked his lucky stars for investigating the matter before he confronted Avery. He drove his car to work.

Avery was standing outside the exam hall waiting for the invigilators to allow them to enter. The student who spoke to Jordan approached her and said, “Avery, there was a gentleman who was looking for you. He said he will come back after your exam.”

Avery was puzzled and asked, “Will you be able to describe him?” The student nodded then she described Jordan. Avery smiled and thanked her fellow student. She was touched that Jordan came to wish her good luck in person.

She took her phone and sent him a text message, “I heard that you were here looking for me. Sorry that I didn’t see you. Please fetch me at 1 pm. Loads of love.”

Jordan saw Avery’s text message fifteen minutes later. He was over the moon. He was hoping that Avery would give him the mansion the Penthouse set of keys.
