I Hope You Will Never Regret

Jordan didn’t sleep a wink, he was tossing and turning. Early in the morning, he sent Avery a text message apologizing to her for ignoring her.

He indicated that he was depressed because his best friend, Luca, had been hired at Martins Group, but he was sitting at home doing nothing.

Avery looked at Jordan’s text message, but she didn’t read it. A few minutes later, Jordan called her. Avery didn’t want to talk to him, she just ignored it.

At that moment, Aunt Bridgette walked into the room and said, “Sweetheart, are you alright? Your phone is ringing.” Avery smiled at her and replied, “I am alright, Aunt Bridge. I don’t want to speak to Jordan.

Sometimes I feel like I am in a one-sided relationship. He lied to me about the graduation tickets. He decided to invite me to the ceremony after I hired a luxury car for him.

I feel like he approached me because I am coming from a wealthy family. He told me that he was not happy with me because I didn’t invite him to my birthday banquet. He indicated that it was a good place for him to network.

He even refused to apply for the internship because he didn’t want to work under someone else. I hate his arrogance. I don’t want to talk to him because I am scared that I will say something I will regret.”

Aunt Bridgette hugged Avery tightly and replied, “Sweetheart, why don’t you talk to him and tell him how you feel about the way he is treating you.” Avery nodded her head and said, “I wish I didn’t love him, Aunt Bridge.

At that moment, Jordan was pacing up and down in his room. He had his phone in his hand waiting for a text message or a call from Avery, but nothing came forth.

He was blaming himself for being careless. He couldn’t lose Avery before she set up a company for him. She was his ticket to a soft life.

A week later, Mr Martins accompanied his daughter to KZN University for registration. They were ushered to the Vice-Chancellor, Mr Goodman Bell’s office.

The Vice-Chancellor was with the Health Faculty Dean, Miss Zanele Thusi, and the Professors from the Health Faculty. Professor Lambert was grinning from ear to ear when he saw his disciple.

Vice-Chancellor Bell shook Mr Martins and Avery’s hands with respect and said, “Welcome to KZN University, Miss Martins, and thank you for choosing us.

Because of your excellent academic performance, you have been chosen to receive the Vice-Chancellor Scholarship.”

Then he looked at Mr Martins and said, “Thank you, Mr Martins, for allowing your daughter to come to our University.”

The Martins Group had a good relationship with the university. For many years, the Martins Group offered scholarships to deserving students. It also built a state-of-the-art laboratory and a library.

Avery smiled brightly and said, “Thank you so much, Mr Bell. Is it possible for me to register for the first year and second year at the same time? I want to finish my undergraduate degree in three years.”

Vice-Chancellor Bell was over the moon. No student had ever completed a Medicine degree within three years before. KZN University will make history. He smiled brightly and replied, “Dean Thusi, please register Miss Martins accordingly.”

Dean Thusi took Avery to her office and registered her into the university system. After that, she asked her secretary to give Miss Martins the list of the prescribed books.

Avery smiled at her and said, “Dean Thusi, Professor Lambert gave me the books from the first year to the sixth year and I have finished reading them.”

Dean Thusi was dumbfounded when she heard that. She gave her the student’s residence keys and the student card. She had allocated her to a single room. Avery thanked Dean Thusi, and then she left.

Outside Dean Thusi’s office, Mr Martins and Professor Lambert were chatting. She smiled brightly at them, and then they bade goodbye to Professor Lambert and left.

When they arrived home, Mrs Martins was in the living room watching television with her beloved niece.

She was annoyed when she saw the father-daughter pair and said, “August, I hope when it is time for my son’s registration you will be able to accompany him as well. Please stop being biased. Aiden is your son too.”

Avery excused herself and went to her bedroom to change into comfortable clothes. Aunt Bridgette was at His Faithfulness Gallery.

August was not angry and replied, “You called yourself a mother, but you don’t even know anything about your so-called beloved son.

Aiden’s registration was last week, and I went with him to the University to settle his tuition fees and accommodation. Where were you?”

Elizabeth felt humiliated and embarrassed and sneered, “Whose fault is that? Didn’t you force me to have children? I told you that I didn’t want kids, but you threatened to divorce me.”

August looked at his wife coldly and asked, “I have never forced you to do anything, Elizabeth, but I gave you a choice. Have I ever forced you to stay in this sham of a marriage?C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

You can leave anytime you wish.” Then he walked towards the lift and pressed the third-floor button.

Elizabeth couldn’t refute her husband’s words because they were the truth. She chose to live a wealthy life, then she compromised to have one child. Unfortunately, she got pregnant again with Avery.

Half an hour later, Avery walked to the kitchen to prepare something delicious for her father. She cut the vegetables into rounds, then she put the spices in and grilled them. In a pan, she seared the Salmon Fillets with Lemon butter sauce.

She started plating; she placed the seared Salmon Fillet on the Pea purée, and then she put the grilled vegetables on the plate. She sprinkled the feta as a garnish.

Avery placed the plate on the tray and the grape juice, then she walked towards the lift. Her mother sneered when she saw her, “I heard that you received many properties on your birthday, so tell me when are you getting out of my house?”
