I Hope You Will Never Regret

Xavier was in his company, the Restoration Group. He was busy with documents when his phone started ringing. He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was his sweetheart, Valencia Moore. He smiled broadly and said with his deep and magnetic voice, “Hello Sweetheart, are you well?”

Valencia Moore smiled sweetly and replied, “Xavier, I miss you. When are you going to take me out shopping?” Xavier was extremely busy. He smiled and replied, “My love, I am trying to clear my desk because I want to give you all my attention after our wedding. Please bear with me.”

At that moment, someone knocked on his door, then he gave the person the permission to enter. His beautiful eyes became wide when he saw the person. It was his lovely fiancée, Valencia. She was very beautiful, she smiled at her fiancé and asked, “Are you surprised?” Xavier walked to her, then he took her in his arms and kissed her for a long time. She giggled and looked at Xavier with loving eyes.

Valencia was nineteen years old. Xavier sat on the sofa with his sweetheart on his lap. He was very happy to see her and said, “What a pleasant surprise. How is my mother-in-law?” Valencia looked at Xavier with sadness in her eyes and replied, “She is in a critical condition, my love. She told me that she is waiting to see her grandchild before she goes to heaven.” Then she sobbed, Xavier’s heart ached when he saw the love of his life crying. He wiped her tears with his white handkerchief.

Valencia’s mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer a year ago. She was told that she was in an advanced stage of cancer, and she had one and a half years to live. The Moore family asked the Taylor family to allow their children to get married before Mrs Moore passed away.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Their wedding was on the coming weekend on the 2nd of January. Her wedding dress was air flown from the US. Xavier promised his fiancée that they would have a baby as soon as they were married. Valencia hugged Xavier tightly and said, “Honey, I will not be able to stay long because I left my mother with a nurse. I missed you so much and I couldn’t wait to see your handsomeness.”

Xavier kissed her and replied, “I can’t wait for our wedding. Have you eaten?” Valencia nodded her head, then she took her Louis Vuitton handbag and said, “Honey, don’t send me off since you are busy. Please don’t overwork yourself, my love.” Xavier kissed her, then Valencia left Xavier’s office.

Xavier walked to the floor to ceiling window; his company was overlooking the Indian Ocean. He was in deep thoughts; he had asked his mother-in-law to visit the Taylor Private hospital to no avail. She told him that she had everything from her attending doctor.

The Taylor Private hospital had the best oncologist in the country. Sometimes he became suspicious, as if the Moore family was hiding something from him. Honestly speaking, he was not ready to settle down; he was twenty-one years old.

Due to his mother-in-law’s health, he rushed to get married. He wanted to take his wife on a honeymoon in Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, but Valencia refused. She indicated that she wouldn’t be able to go far away while her mother was alone with the nurse.

He took Valencia to His Own Image Boutique; he was hoping that she would buy the wedding dress he had designed. To his disappointment, Valencia was disgusted when she saw the wedding dress. She told him that the local fashion designers are nothing compared to overseas designers. They didn’t even spend twenty minutes in the boutique, then they left. Joy looked at them and shook her head.

The Moore family had requested a small wedding. They indicated that they wanted at least twenty guests. Mrs Moore indicated that she didn’t want to see people looking at her with sympathy in their eyes. Grandpa was so sad because he wanted to share his precious grandson’s wedding with his brothers and their families.

John Taylor invited his best friend, August, to the wedding. The wedding of Xavier and Valencia was taking place at His Grace hotel on the 50th floor. Mr Martins attended the wedding with his precious daughter, Avery. The venue was lavishly decorated; there were only four round tables with five people at each table.

The Pastor was standing in front waiting for them. Xavier walked to the front, followed by his best friend, Chase Forbes, as his best man. Xavier looked at the guests smiling. Avery took a phone and took a photo of the groom. She had never seen anyone so handsome before.

When Xavier met Avery’s eyes, time stood still. His heart started beating so fast. He had never seen anyone so beautiful in his whole life. Xavier looked at Avery. Was she twelve or thirteen? Was he falling in love at first sight at his wedding? He touched his heart, something happened.

At that moment, Avery touched her heart; she thought she was having a heart attack. Her father looked at her and asked, “What is wrong, Sweetheart?” Avery told her father that her heart was beating so fast. Her father was worried and asked, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” Avery shook her head and replied, “Daddy, let’s wait until young Mr Taylor and Miss Moore exchange their wedding vows.”

The bride walked slowly towards her future husband holding her father’s arm. Mr Moore gave Valencia to his son-in-law. Then he kissed his daughter. They exchanged their vows, then the Pastor said, “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.” Xavier lifted the veil and kissed his bride. The Moore family was over the moon. Caroline kissed her daughter-in-law on both cheeks and hugged her son. Grandpa and his sons were not happy about the wedding.

Avery sent a message to Aunt Bridgette asking her to fetch her from the hotel. She told her father that she would go to the hospital with Aunt Bridgette. While the bride and groom were toasting the guests, Avery took her handbag and left. When they reached Mr Martins’ table, Avery had already left. Xavier was so disappointed when he didn’t see the little girl. He thought it was an illusion. Did Xavier marry the wrong woman?
