Chapter 232 Harmonious Environment
When Xavier and his wife walked to the living room, their grandfather was chatting with his sons and his daughter-in-law.
He smiled brightly when he saw his precious grandson and his granddaughter in love and asked, “How was your trip, my precious granddaughter in love?”
Avery smiled sweetly at her grandpa and replied, “Grandpa, I haven’t seen a beautiful place like that in my life. We didn’t want to come back.”
Then she gave him a box of chocolate and a diamond-studded tie clip. Grandpa Taylor smiled brightly and thanked them.
Avery gave her mother-in-law a box of chocolate and a diamond bracelet. Her mother-in-law was over the moon. She asked her husband to help her to wear it. She hugged her daughter-in-law tightly and thanked her.
Then they approached their father smiling and gave him a box of chocolate and a luxury designer pen. Their father smiled broadly, he kissed his daughter-in-law and hugged his son.
Avery gave her uncle-in-law a box of chocolate and a designer leather South African Military Keychain.
Uncle Keith smiled and said, “Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift, my nephew and my niece-in-law.” Then he hugged and kissed them.
Butler was waiting to take their luggage to their bedroom. Avery gave him a box of chocolate and shaving cream. He smiled and thanked them. Then he took their luggage to the third floor.
Avery smiled at her mother-in-law and asked, “How is Sage?” Her mother-in-law looked at Avery with sadness and replied, “After you left, she accused us of stopping the Moore family from visiting her.
Then we called her maternal grandmother to ask the reason behind not visiting their granddaughter. She told us that she would never forgive her late daughter because she failed to keep her promise.
Then she told us that she didn’t want anything to do with Sage. She has apologized to us for listening to Aunt Getty’s lies. She is longing for her maternal family’s love.”
Avery looked at her mother-in-law and replied, “I understand where Sage is coming from. When I was young, I craved my mother’s love, but I always ended up being hurt.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After she tried to kill me with my brother, I decided to remove them from my heart. If she can find out that I am married to Xavier, she will do anything in her power to separate us.” Xavier hugged her tightly and kissed her on her forehead.
Then they went to Sage’s bedroom. They knocked on the door and Sage said, “Come in.” Sage was sitting on the bed watching cartoons. She looked at her father with tears in her eyes and said, “Daddy, I am sorry. Aunt Getty lied to me.”
Her father looked at his daughter and said with a stern voice, “Sage, I love you so much. However, I am disappointed in you for being ungrateful to my wife, who saved you in the jaws of death. She even canceled her special leave for you.
Should you disrespect my wife again because of the Moore family, I will never forgive you.” Avery held her husband’s arm and shook her head. Sage was still a child, and she was easily manipulated.
Avery looked at Sage and said, “Sage, please let’s try to maintain a harmonious environment between us. I am not saying that you must love me but let us respect each other. I am not here to replace your mother in your father’s heart.
You are surrounded by people who love you so much, your great-grandpa, your grandpa, and your grandma.
We bought something for you.” Avery gave her a cute plush doll and a small box of chocolate. Sage’s eyes lit up when she saw a plush doll and said, “I am sorry for everything, Aunt Avery. Thank you for my gifts. I like them a lot.”
Avery ruffled Sage’s hair, then they left Sage’s bedroom. She didn’t see the hatred in Sage’s eyes. Her father spoke harshly to her because of Aunt Avery. She didn’t want to apologize to Aunt Avery because everything she said was the truth.
Also, she used to be the apple of her father’s eye, but now she had to share her father with Aunt Avery. She was really unhappy about that. However, nothing she could do to change that for now.
When Xavier and Avery arrived in their bedroom, her husband took her in his arms and kissed her. Avery looked at him and asked, “What is wrong, my love?”
Her husband looked at his wife and replied, “Thank you for giving our daughter a second chance.” Avery smiled and said, “The Moore family is using Sage to sow discord between us. I will never allow anyone to snatch you away from me.
Honey, do you mind if I go to the Evans mansion this afternoon to give them a helping hand? I will come back tomorrow afternoon.”
Xavier furrowed his beautiful brows and asked, “Sweetheart, why don’t you leave tomorrow morning?” Avery touched his brows and replied, “Please, Honey. Aunt Bridge has sacrificed so much for me, my love.”
Xavier reluctantly nodded his head, then he hugged her tightly. A few minutes later, they headed to the living room.
Avery smiled at her mother-in-law and said, “Mom, I am going to the Evans mansion tonight to give Aunt Bridge a helping hand. Do you want me to do anything for you before I leave?”
Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and replied, “You are such a good child. Go and rest, Sweetheart.” Then she looked at her son and said, “Xavier, go and accompany your wife.”
Xavier took his wife’s hand and went to their bedroom. He looked at her smiling and asked, “Sweetheart, are you still tired?” Avery shook her head and replied, “I well rested on the plane.” Then she kissed him on the lips.
Xavier took over and pressed her on the bed. She was kissed senseless, but Xavier didn’t go further. He hugged her tightly and said, “I miss you already, my stunning wife.”
An hour later, Xavier and his wife headed to the living room hand in hand. He looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I am dropping my wife off at the Evans mansion.”
Grandpa Taylor smiled and said, “Be careful on the road, my precious grandson. My precious granddaughter in love, send my regards to my in-laws.” Avery smiled and bade goodbye to the elders, and then they left.
