I Hope You Will Never Regret

Aunt Rose smiled and replied, “I do. It will be a blessing to meet someone whom I can share my life experiences with. Someone I will spend the rest of my life with. What about you, Hope?”

Hope giggled and replied, “I have someone in my heart. He gave me flowers, but he didn’t say anything after that. He makes my heart beat faster when I look at him.”

Aunt Suzie smiled and asked, “Hope, why don’t you confess your love to him? When I met Bridgette’s father, I fell in love with him at first sight. I waited for him to confess to me, but he was shy.

Two weeks later, I confessed to him, he was elated. He told me that he fell in love with me at first sight too, but he was scared to confess to me. We got married six months later.”

Hope shook her head and replied, “I want him to chase me, Aunt Suzie. Also, I am scared of being rejected. What if my feelings are not reciprocated? Maybe he was just being nice to me, he didn’t mean anything.”

At that moment, Chef Ambrose approached them, followed by three waiters carrying picnic baskets, camp chairs, and a portable canopy tent.

Aunt Rose smiled brightly and said, “Thank you, young man.” After Chef Ambrose and the waiters set up the canopy tent, they left.

Avery opened the picnic basket, and then she took the plates and the cutlery. Avery and Aunt Bridgette started serving them the mouthwatering finger lunch. Chef Ambrose had even packed an ice cream tub and cones.

After they finished eating, Avery gave them the ice cream. Then they took a stroll along the beach. Avery was kicking the sand; she was in a good mood. She was surrounded by the people she loved the most.

At 3 pm, Butler Bruce and others returned to the villa. Ethan and Logan couldn’t wait to tell their Big Sis about their adventure. They ran into their sister’s bedroom, but she wasn’t there.

Ethan took his phone and called her. Avery’s phone was vibrating on the sofa. They saw a note on the coffee table indicating that she was at the beach. They rushed to Clayton’s villa.

Logan looked at Clayton and said, “Uncle Clayton, please take us to our Big Sis, she is at the beach.” Clayton looked at Butler Bruce and said, “I am going to see my beautiful flower.”

Butler Bruce nodded his head and said, “I will visit mine tonight.” Clayton took the twins’ hands and walked towards the beach. When he saw Hope, his heart beat uncontrollably against her chest.

He approached her smiling and said, “You look beautiful, my future wife.” Hope’s heart beat so fast when she heard Clayton’s words. She looked at him and asked, “Who is your future wife?”

Clayton smiled and replied, “Hope, I fell in love with you the first time l laid my eyes on you. I want you to be my wife and the mother of my children.” Hope smiled sweetly and asked, “What took you so long?”

Clayton explained, smiling, “I was scared of rejection. When you took my flowers, I decided to confess my love to you. You are so beautiful.” She was very beautiful indeed.

Hope smiled shyly and replied, “I love you too. You are very handsome.” Clayton couldn’t believe his ears. He looked at her and said, “Thank you my stunning wife, I promise to love only you for the rest of my life. May I hug you?”

Hope nodded her head, then Clayton hugged her tightly and kissed her on top of her head. Aunt Suzie and Aunt Rose clapped their hands. They were happy for them, and they made a beautiful couple.

Clayton took his future wife back to Aunt Rose’s villa. Clayton sat in the living room and watched the television. Hope took a quick shower and changed her clothes to a knee-high yellow dress.

Hope poured a glass of juice and gave it to Clayton, then she sat beside him. She looked at him with worried eyes and asked, “Will your parents allow you to marry me?”

Clayton took her hand and replied, “I told my parents that only you would be my wife and they were happy. My mother asked me this morning when I was confessing my love to you.

She told me that she couldn’t wait to hold her little dumplings in her arms. Baby, I want to register our marriage when we go back home. Is it alright with you?”

Hope was so shocked when she heard Clayton’s words. She thought maybe they would date for a couple of years before he proposed to her. She smiled sweetly and replied, “I cannot wait to be your wife, my Clayton.”

Clayton was so happy; he hugged her tightly and kissed her on the lips. He looked at his future wife and said, “I love you so much, my love.” He took her in his arms, and he kissed her for a long time.

Hope was struggling to breathe, then he released her. Clayton smiled brightly and said, “Let me leave you to rest, my love. I will see you later.” Hope nodded her head; she was so shy. Clayton kissed her on her forehead, then he left.

Hope was so happy; she was grinning from ear to ear. She knelt down and thanked the Lord for blessing her with Clayton.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She prayed for the Martins family and thanked the Lord for Mr Martins for providing her with shelter. Lastly, she prayed for the Hayes family, her future in-laws.

She sat on the sofa in a daze. She felt like she was dreaming. She couldn’t believe that Clayton was finally hers. She thanked the Lord for answering her prayers.

At 5 pm, Aunt Rose walked in smiling. She looked at Hope who was sitting in the living room in a daze and said, “I am so happy for you, my dearest. Clayton is a good man. You are such a beautiful couple.”

Hope smiled and walked to Aunt Rose and said, “Thank you. You are such a good person, Aunt Rose. Will you be my mother?”
