I Hope You Will Never Regret

Aunt Bridgette was at His Faithfulness Art Gallery when she received a call from Avery. She was so worried; she dropped everything and rushed to His Grace hotel. At that time, Avery was at the entrance of the hotel waiting for Aunt Bridgette. She arrived shortly afterwards. Avery got in the car and said, “Thank you, Aunt Bridge. I don’t know what happened to me. I looked at the groom and my heart started beating so fast. His handsomeness overwhelmed me.”

Aunt Bridgette laughed out loud and asked, “Did you fall in love with the groom?” Avery looked at Aunt Bridgette and replied, “It is impossible, Aunt Bridge, because I have someone I like.” Aunt Bridgette was so shocked Avery would be turning fourteen on the 10th of January. She looked at Avery and said, “Baby, you are too young to be in a relationship. What is the rush?”

Avery smiled at her and replied, “Aunt Bridge, I don’t want to hide anything from you. I agree that I am young, but Jordan Bennet puts a smile on my face, Aunt Bridge. Also, I like the way he looks at me.” Aunt Bridgette asked, “Does he make your heart beat so fast like today?” Avery shook her head and replied, “No, he doesn’t. It was the first time I felt this way.”

Aunt Bridgette looked at Avery and asked, “Baby, how old is that boy? Is he in the same class as you?” Avery shook her head and replied, “Jordan is twenty years old, and he is currently doing his third year in Bachelor of Business Management at KZN University. I haven’t agreed to be his girlfriend yet, but I will do it soon. I promise that I will not get pregnant before I get married.”

Aunt Bridgette was so upset. How could a twenty-year-old man be chasing a thirteen-year-old child? Was Jordan after the Martins family wealth? It is clear that Jordan had ill intentions towards Avery. “Where did you meet Jordan?”

Avery smiled beautifully and replied, “I met him at the mall. He was with his friend, Luca Sparrow. Remember that day you dropped me at the mall to look for Aiden’s frame for his painting? At that time, I thought he was the most handsome boy until I saw young Mr Taylor. He is like a breath of fresh air.”

Aunt Bridgette smiled and asked, “Is young Mr Taylor really handsome?” Avery smiled; her adorable dimples lit up her face and replied, “His handsomeness is on another level. His body structure to die for.” Aunt Bridgette laughed out loud. It was clear to her that Avery was in love with young Mr Taylor, but she didn’t realize it yet.

Aunt Bridgette and Avery went to Taylor Private hospital. They went to Dr Lambert’s office. Avery greeted him and told him that she nearly had a heart attack. Avery told him the whole story, Dr Lambert laughed out loud, but he didn’t utter a word.

Dr Lambert asked the cardiologist, Dr Aaron Kheswa to check Miss Martins’ heart. A few minutes later, Dr Kheswa indicated that there was nothing wrong with Avery’s heart. Avery thanked Dr Kheswa and left the hospital with Aunt Bridgette. She sent a text message to her father telling him that it was a false alarm. Her father heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the text message.

After the wedding, Mr Martins rushed home. His daughter gave him a scare. Bridgette saw his car in the driveway, then she waited for him outside the door. She looked at Uncle Martins and said, “Do you mind if we talk privately, Uncle Martins?” He nodded his head and asked Bridgette to follow him to his study room.

They sat on the sofa, then Bridgette said, “Uncle Martins, Avery told me that her heart started beating after she looked at young Mr Taylor. She fell in love with him at first sight, but she didn’t realize it yet.” Uncle Martins heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his precious daughter was not sick. However, it didn’t sit well with him that his precious daughter had fallen in love with a married man.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Aunt Bridgette looked at Uncle Martins and said, “Please investigate Jordan Bennet for me. He is twenty years old, but he is pursuing a thirteen-year-old child. Avery told me that he is currently doing his third year in Business Management at KZN University. My gut feeling tells me that he doesn’t have pure intentions towards Avery.”

Uncle Martins was so shocked to hear that his lovely daughter was about to get in a relationship at a tender age and said, “Thank you Bridgette for letting me know and I will investigate this boy thoroughly.” Then Bridgette went to Avery’s room. She didn’t want to go back to her art gallery.

In the meantime, Jordan Bennet and his best friend, Luca Sparrow, were sitting under the tree drinking lemonade. They were both doing Business Management degree. Even though their mothers’ friendship was not the same as before, Jordan and Luca were thick as thieves.

Jordan looked at his friend and said, “The Martins girl is very beautiful, and it’s a pity that she is not my type. I hate rich people.” Luca Sparrow was shocked when he heard his friend’s words and asked, “If you don’t like her why are you chasing her?”

Jordan smiled and replied, “I want someone who will take my family out of poverty. I am tired of staying in that old two-bedroom house. I heard that she was coming from a wealthy family. When I am rich, I will dump her and marry the woman I love.”

Luca shook his head and replied, “The Lord will never give you something that you despise. If you hate rich people, you will never be rich. It’s my heart’s desire to buy a big house in the suburbs for my parents with my own ability. I heard that Mr Martins was an orphan. If the Lord can bless him with riches, surely, He will bless me if I work hard.”

Jordan laughed out loud and replied, “It will take you years to become rich, at that time I would already be a billionaire. I don’t have to work hard; I have to be smart. With my handsome face, which girl can resist me? I don’t like the Martins girl, but I will endure until I reach my goal.”

Luca was so disappointed in his friend and said, “Jordan, don’t sow a bad seed because you will reap what you sow.” Jordan giggled and replied, “Luca, I think you are in the wrong field, why don’t you study Theology? With your mindset, you will never achieve anything. In the business world, everyone is selfish.” Luca was questioning his friend’s integrity. It was clear that he didn’t have good moral values.
