I Hope You Will Never Regret

Two hours later, Paul and his beloved wife, Suzie, arrived at His Goodness Resort with their bodyguard, Prince Sam. Miss Hazel Elvis greeted them with a warm smile and handed them the set of keys to their villa.

Bridgette was sitting on the balcony reading a novel when her parents arrived. She heard her mother’s voice. Then she looked at the opposite villa. She smiled brightly when she saw her parents. She rushed to them and hugged her mother tightly.

Her father didn’t want to be left behind. He hugged both of them. He smiled broadly, then he kissed his daughter and said, “Good afternoon, Sweetheart. Are you well?”

Bridgette was beaming with joy and replied, “Good afternoon, Daddy, Mommy, Prince. I am well, thank you. How are you?” Her father told her that all was well with them. Then they walked to their villa.

Her mother was impressed when she saw the villa. It was lavishly decorated. There were beautiful paintings on the wall. When Bridgette saw the paintings, she was stunned. Uncle Martins spent a lot of money buying these paintings at an auction.

She was touched. Uncle Martins had been supportive of her work since she started painting. Her mother smiled at her and said, “What a beautiful painting, Sweetheart. You are so talented, love.”

Bridgette smiled back at her mother and replied, “Thank you, Mommy.” Her mother looked at her daughter with love and asked, “Sweetheart, didn’t you tell me that you are coming back today from Richards Bay?”

Bridgette looked at her mother with sadness in her eyes and replied, “Lily chased us out of her house and at the funeral service. She told us that she didn’t want to see us at the cemetery. We came back yesterday morning, Mom, with heavy hearts.”

Her father was shocked to hear that and said, “I am sorry, my beautiful daughter. I don’t have a doubt in my mind that it was Elizabeth’s doing. What I don’t understand is why August didn’t intervene?”

Bridgette shook her head and replied, “Avery knew that Lily would embarrass her at the funeral service, and then she asked Uncle Martins not to intervene. She didn’t want to cause chaos at her beloved uncle and aunt’s funeral service.

Mia tried to intervene, but Lily was very rude to her. Apparently, Lily’s mother asked Mia to be her daughter’s guardian before she passed away. She was scared to leave her daughter in Aunt Elizabeth’s hands.”

Her mother hugged her and said, “I am sorry, Sweetheart. I am glad I didn’t attend the funeral. I would have left with you as well.”

At that moment, Mr Martins walked to their villa smiling. He hugged his friend, Paul, and then he kissed Suzie and said “I am glad that you are here. You just put a smile on my face.”

Paul was beaming with joy and replied, “Thank you for inviting us and we are happy to see you.” Suzie smiled brightly and said, “This resort is stunning. I feel refreshed already.”

August smiled and replied, “Thank you, Suzie. We are going to eat in half an hour’s time. Freshened up and joined us at the restaurant.” Then he left.

Mr Martins then went to his daughter’s villa. Logan was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the living room. Ethan was watching a cartoon on the television. Mr Martins ruffled Ethan’s hair and asked, “Where is Avery?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Ethan smiled and replied, “Big sis is taking a nap, Uncle August. Do you want me to wake her up?” Uncle August shook his head and replied, “We are having dinner at 5 pm. Please wake them up maybe at 16:50.” Then he scooped Logan in his arms and placed him in one of the bedrooms.

Then he went to his aunt’s villa just to check on her. Aunt Rose was watching the television. The living room door was wide open. He knocked on the door; Aunt Rose smiled brightly when she saw her nephew.

August smiled back at her and said, “Is everything alright, Aunt Rose?” She smiled brightly and replied, “Yes, everything is alright. However, I am not used to being alone in the house.”

August laughed and replied, “Why don’t you ask Hope to move here? Bridgette’s parents have arrived; you will have someone to talk to.” Aunt Rose was over the moon when she heard that her best friend had arrived.

At 16:55, Avery and her brothers went to the restaurant to eat. Shortly afterward, her father and her God grandparents walked in followed by Grandma Rose and Aunt Bridgette.

Avery’s eyes lit up when she saw her God grandparents. She took her brothers with her to greet them. Her God grandmother hugged her tightly then she kissed the twins on her cheeks. Avery introduced her brothers to her God grandparents.

God Grandma, Suzie smiled brightly and said, “Nice to meet you. You are so handsome. Please call me grandma.” Logan smiled brightly and replied, “Thank you, Grandma Suzie. You are so beautiful. Is Aunt Bridgette your daughter? You look so young.”

Grandma Suzie smiled broadly and replied, “Thank you, handsome Logan.” She was indeed very beautiful, and she didn’t look her age. You couldn’t tell that Bridgette was her daughter, maybe her younger sister.

Prince Sam was overjoyed when he saw Clayton. Butler Bruce and Clayton invited him to their villa.

A few minutes later, Chef Ambrose, Butler Bruce, Clayton, and Prince Sam walked to the restaurant carrying the meat and put it on the dining table. The waiters brought pap, chakalaka, and salads.

When Avery saw Uncle Prince, she walked towards him smiling. Prince kissed her on her cheeks and asked, “Are you alright, beautiful Avery?”

Avery smiled brightly and replied, “I am well, Uncle Prince. I am happy to see you.” Prince was happy to see her too. He was grinning from ear to ear. Avery was surrounded by people who loved her.

Since it was 5 pm and there were no patrons in the restaurant, Chef Ambrose and the waiters put together rectangular tables to make one long table to fit the Martins family and friends.

The Martins family and friends sat around the table chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was warm and lively. The meat was juicy and tender. It was delicious.

Around 8 pm, the restaurant was fully packed. Ethan walked to the stage and sat behind the piano. He took the microphone and said, “This song is dedicated to my beautiful sister. The name of the song is ‘The best is yet to come.”
