I Hope You Will Never Regret

Aunt Rose was dumbfounded when she heard Hope’s request. She was touched and replied, “It will be an honour to be your mother. Thank you for choosing me.” Then she hugged Hope tightly with tears in her eyes.

Hope smiled brightly and said, “Thank you, Mom, for accepting me. Clayton wants us to register our marriage when we come back home. I am scared. What if his parents despise my background?”

Aunt Rose smiled brightly when she heard the way Hope was addressing her.

She took her hands and said, “Sweetheart, from today onwards you are my precious daughter. Who can despise my daughter? We have to plan your engagement banquet.”

Hope smiled and replied, “I would like that very much, Mommy.” Her mother was overjoyed. Then she went to her bedroom to take a bath. She dressed herself beautifully, then she took her phone and dialed her nephew’s number.

When it was connected, she said, “My handsome nephew, are you busy?” August smiled and replied, “I am never busy for you, Aunt Rose. Do you want to see me?”

Aunt Rose smiled brightly and replied, “Yes, my favourite nephew. Please come to my villa.” Then she hung up.

She dialed Avery’s number and said, “My favourite granddaughter, do you mind coming to my villa? There is something I want to share with you.”

Avery smiled and replied, “Grandma, I am outside your villa. I came to visit Aunt Hope.” Her grandmother walked to the door and opened it.

Avery took her grandmother’s arm, then they walked to the living room. Avery smiled brightly at Hope and said, “I am so happy for you. May the Lord bless your relationship with handsome Uncle Clayton.”

Hope had tears of joy in her eyes and replied, “Thank you so much, beautiful Avery. Do you want to be my flower girl or my bridesmaid?”

Avery smiled brightly and asked, “Am I not too old to be a flower girl, Aunt Hope?” Aunt Hope shook her head and replied, “You are just perfect. Allow me to brag about my stunning flower girl.”

Hope was very beautiful, but she couldn’t deny that Avery was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. She had a rare, soul-stirring type of beauty.

Avery nodded her head and replied, “I will be happy to be your flower girl, beautiful Aunt Hope.”

At that moment, her father walked into the living room smiling. Aunt Rose held his arm and said, “August, I have good news. Hope asked me to be her mother and I agreed.

I was thinking of having a welcoming banquet this coming Saturday. What do you think?”

August approached Hope smiling, he reached out his hand and said, “Welcome to the Walker family, my pretty cousin.” Hope smiled and shook Mr Martins’ hand and replied, “Thank you, Mr Martins.”

August shook his head and said, “From today onwards, please call me cousin or by my name.” Hope nodded her head. Then they sat down on the sofa.

August looked at his aunt and said, “I am happy for you, Aunt Rose. I will ask Hazel and Ambrose to organize the banquet. Is there anything you need, like a house?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Aunt Rose shook her head and replied, “Clayton and Hope are in love. He told Hope that he would register their marriage when we went back. We have to prepare for their engagement banquet.”

August smiled broadly when he heard the news and replied, “Why don’t we have a welcoming banquet on Friday and their engagement banquet on Saturday? We can bring the Hayes family here. Also, I can ask Joy to bring the gowns here.”

Aunt Rose was over the moon. She looked at Hope and asked, “How do you feel about that, my daughter?” Hope was grinning from ear to ear and replied, “That’s a great idea, Mom. I am so happy.”

August left his aunt’s villa and walked to Bruce and Clayton’s villa. He knocked on the door. Prince opened the door. They were in the living room watching soccer highlights.

Mr Martins shook Clayton’s hands and said, “Congratulations, Clayton. Aunt Rose has adopted Hope, and she is my cousin now. Should you hurt her, I will deal with you.”

Clayton was shocked to hear that and replied, “Thank you, Mr Martins. I will never hurt Hope because I love her wholeheartedly.”

Mr Martins looked at Clayton and asked, “When are you proposing? I was told that you will register your marriage when we go back home.”

Clayton took the blue velvet box from his jacket and showed it to Mr Martins. He smiled and replied, “I am planning to propose to her tomorrow during dinner.”

Mr Martins took the velvet box from Clayton and opened it. Sitting in the blue velvet box was a 5-carat blue diamond engagement ring. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

He nodded his head and replied, “Please ask your mother-in-law, Aunt Rose, for her hand in marriage before you propose to show respect.

Also, there will be Hope’s banquet on Friday, welcoming her to the Walker family. You are all invited.”

Mr Martins looked at Butler Bruce smiling, and then he left. Butler Bruce took a hint then he walked towards his bedroom. He took off his clothes and walked to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

He walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He was a middle-aged man, but he kept his body well. He walked to the closet and chose a custom-made charcoal grey suit. It was his birthday gift from Mr Martins.

He was elegant and handsome. Then he took the velvet box in his bag and walked out of his bedroom.

Clayton whistled when he saw him and praised him, “You look dashing, Mr King. Are you going to find your beautiful flower?”

Butler Bruce smiled and replied, “It is long overdue, Clayton.” Then he opened the door and left.

He knocked on Aunt Rose’s villa. Hope opened the door. She smiled brightly when she saw Butler Bruce and said, “You are so handsome, Butler Bruce. Let me get my mother for you.”

Then Hope walked to her mother’s bedroom to fetch her. However, she didn’t go back to the sitting room. She went to her bedroom to rest.

Aunt Rose smiled brightly when she saw Butler Bruce before she sat on the sofa. Butler Bruce took the velvet box in his suit jacket. He knelt down on one knee and said, “Miss Walker, will you marry me?”

Aunt Rose was so shocked, that she didn’t know what to say. She gave her hand to Butler Bruce, then he put a ring on her finger. He stood up and kissed her on her forehead.

Butler Bruce smiled and said, “Thank you for agreeing to be my wife, Miss Walker. I love you so dearly. Don’t worry about Mr Martins, he approved.”

Aunt Rose looked at him shyly and heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his words. She smiled and said, “I have feelings for you too, Mr King.”
