I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 281 Hangover Soup



After Mrs Martins received the divorce decree, she felt lost. She missed her ex-husband a lot. It would be a lie to say she didn’t regret her decision to divorce her good husband.

Lily was scared that her beloved aunt might change her mind and begged Mr Martins to take her back. She asked her aunt to change her last name back to Parker.

She wanted to destroy her aunt’s life as she destroyed hers. She was an orphan because of her aunt.

She was jealous of Avery, and she wanted to destroy her as well. However, she was not a match for Avery, and she was scared of the Taylor family’s power behind her. Her husband was not someone to be offended.

In the space of a week, Lily had fired two helpers because they didn’t know how to prepare meals that suited her taste buds. The new helper was good, but she couldn’t stay at the Martins mansion because she was married.

Lily took her beloved aunt to celebrate being single at the Havana Club. It was the first time for Elizabeth to be at the club.

Lily ordered a bottle of the most expensive wine. Her beloved aunt was a billionaire. So, there was no need to save money. Her aunt looked at Lily with a confused expression and asked, “Lily, when did you start drinking?”

Lily smiled brightly and replied, “Auntie, I am just drinking cider. You need to loosen up. You are single now. You must do everything that your ex-husband deprived you of doing.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Aunt Elizabeth shook her head and replied, “August never stopped me from doing anything I love. He was a good husband. Please return this wine and order a non-alcoholic wine.”

Lily shook her head and replied, “Auntie, they don’t sell non-alcoholic wine in this place. Please indulge me just for today.” Lily opened the wine bottle and poured the liquor into the wine glasses.

She handed the wine to her aunt, then she raised her glass and said, “Cheers, Auntie. May you find someone who will treat you like a queen.”

Aunt Elizabeth shook her head. She didn’t think that she would be lucky for the second time. August had treated her like a treasure until Avery interfered in their marriage. Her heart was overwhelmed with bitterness.

Aunt Elizabeth took a sip, the taste was bitter. She couldn’t understand why people liked alcohol because it didn’t taste good.

Lily drank a glass of wine in one gulp, then she stood up and said, “Auntie, the dance floor is calling my name.” She poured herself another glass of wine and went to the dancing floor.

Her aunt looked at her niece in a different light. It was clear to her that it was not the first time Lily had visited the club.

A few minutes later, Aunt Elizabeth opened her eyes wide when she saw Lily going to the bartender. She ordered something, then she drank a couple of shots.

She was disappointed in her niece. Her heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. Was her late brother blaming her for failing to raise his daughter well?

At 10 pm, Aunt Elizabeth went to the dancing floor and dragged her niece out. Lily had a can of wine in her hand and said, “Auntie, stop being a party pooper. The night is still young.”

At that moment, a young man approached them and asked, “Lily, why did you bring your mother today? This place is not suitable for her. Why don’t we request an Uber to take her home?”

Lily smiled brightly at the young man, then she took her phone and requested an Uber. Then she turned to her aunt smiling and said, “Auntie, let’s go outside to wait for your transport.”

Aunt Elizabeth looked at her niece for a long time and shook her head. She didn’t want to leave her behind because she was already tipsy. Also, Lily had never told her about her male friend.

Aunt Elizabeth was reluctant to leave. Then she asked, “Lily, why don’t you introduce your friend?” Lily smiled brightly and replied, “Oh, I am sorry, Auntie. This is my classmate, Aubrey Brown.”

Aubrey reached his hand and shook Aunt Elizabeth’s hand. A few minutes later, they escorted Aunt Elizabeth to the car. She didn’t want to leave Lily behind. She felt that she had let her late brother down.

Her biological daughter was doing well, and she was happily married, but her beloved niece was wasting her life at the bar.

She was reminded of Xavier’s words when he said, ‘He was glad that she was not involved in his wife’s upbringing’. Did she fail her niece?

Aunt Elizabeth couldn’t sleep a wink. She was tossing and turning. She waited for her niece, but she never came home. She tried to call her several times, but it went straight to voicemail. She was beside herself with worry.

Early in the morning, she went to the bar to look for her niece. Unfortunately, the bar was closed. The passerby told her that the bar would be open at 6 pm. She went back home with a heavy heart.

At that moment, Lily was sleeping peacefully at Aubrey Brown’s house. After he washed up, he woke up Lily. Then he gave her the changing clothes and asked her to bathe.

Lily didn’t want to wake up, she had a throbbing headache. Aubrey reminded her that they were writing the semester test, and then she went to take a bath. She didn’t care about her studies anymore because her beloved aunt was rich.

However, she had to endure it because she didn’t want to be a laughingstock. Xavier told her that he was allergic to dumb people. She wanted to prove him wrong.

Lily was currently doing her second year in Public Relations. She wasn’t prepared at all, but she didn’t dare to miss the test because she didn’t want to repeat the second year.

When she looked at the test paper she nearly cried. Her mind went blank. She wished she had submitted the sick note. It would be impossible for her to pass the test. She wrote her name, then she submitted a blank answer book.

She took a cab and went home since she left her car at the bar. Her aunt heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her and asked, “Lily, where were you? I went to the bar to look for you, but it was closed.”

Lily looked at her aunt annoyed and replied, “Not now, Auntie.” Then she went to the kitchen and asked the helper to prepare the hangover soup for her.

The helper looked at her and replied, “I don’t know how to prepare the hangover soup because my husband doesn’t drink.”

Lily nearly fainted with anger. She slapped the helper across the face and said, “Get out of my house.” The helper took off the helper’s clothes, then she slapped Lily hard across the face.

Lily was dumbfounded. She tried to slap the helper again, but she dodged and slapped her hard. Lily fell on the floor and cried out loud. Her aunt rushed to the kitchen and asked, “What happened?”

The helper briefly told Miss Parker what happened. Then she took her handbag and left.

Aunt Elizabeth looked at her niece and said, “Lily, I am not going to hire a helper ever again. You have to learn to do everything yourself.”

Then she went to her bedroom to rest. She felt she was too lenient with her niece.
