I Hope You Will Never Regret

Avery opened her eyes smiling and said, “I hope my wish will come true, Daddy.” Her father ruffled her hair and replied, “It will come true, Sweetheart.” Avery didn’t ask to be reconciled with her brother, but she wished for her father to be blessed with good health and to see his grandchildren.

Avery’s father smiled and said, “What a lovely gift, Sweetheart. Did you thank Bridgette?” Avery smiled back at her father and replied, “Yes, I did Daddy. I thank the Lord for bringing Aunt Bridge into my life. When I saw hatred in Aiden’s eyes, I decided to give up on him. He hurt me deeply, Daddy.” Her father felt sorry for his daughter and replied, “Don’t give up on your brother yet, he is not a bad person.” Avery nodded her head and didn’t say anything.

Avery told her father that Aunt Bridge was taking her out shopping the following day. Her father gave her a black card and said, “Buy whatever you like, Sweetheart.” Avery thanked her father and took the card and gave it to Aunt Bridgette. Her father bade them good night, and then he went to his study room to finish his work.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door. Aunt Bridgette opened the door and asked coldly, “May I help you?” Aiden was so annoyed he tried to push the door, but it didn’t budge and asked, “Do I need your permission to see my sister? Who do you think you are?” Bridgette looked at Avery, she nodded her head, then Aunt Bridgette stood aside, and Aiden walked inside.

Avery looked at Aiden and asked, “What are you doing here?” Aiden ignored her and looked at the starry night sky ceiling. His heart became bitter. His father bought the Galaxy Star Projector for Avery but not for him. Initially, he came to Avery’s room to apologize for his rude behaviour. However, after he saw the Galaxy Star Projector, he changed his mind.

Aiden’s gaze was cold and said, “Avery, I came here to apologize to you because of my rude behaviour, but you don’t deserve it. Why did you ask my father to buy the Galaxy Star Projector just for you? What about me? In your eyes, am I no longer his son? I didn’t believe my mother when she told me that you were so scheming. Do you know that my father gave my mother the divorce papers to sign?”

Avery looked at her brother, but she didn’t utter a word. She felt that if she told Aiden that the Galaxy Star Projector was gifted to her by Aunt Bridge, he wouldn’t believe her. She let him draw his own conclusion. However, she was surprised to hear that her father had given his mother the divorce papers. She felt sad for her father for choosing the wrong woman as a wife.

Aiden was so upset about being ignored by Avery and said, “It is clear to me that you want your nanny to replace my mother. It will never happen.” Then he opened the door and slammed it with a bang. He walked to his mother’s room, but before he knocked on the door, he decided to go to the study room to confront his father.

Aiden was so angry he barged through the door without knocking. His father was sitting behind the desk working. He was surprised to see his son and asked, “What is wrong, Aiden?” Aiden looked at his father and asked, “Daddy, am I no longer your son? Why did you buy the Galaxy Star Projector just for Avery, but not for me? Don’t you love me anymore? What did you mean when you said Avery would be blessed with a brother who would love her unconditionally? Do you have another son outside?”

His father looked at Aiden with a confused expression and replied, “Aiden, don’t you ever talk to me like that, I am your father. The only thing I bought for Avery was the bracelet to celebrate that she qualified for the second round. What are you accusing me of now? What do you mean about another son outside?”

Aiden was so furious, tears were streaming down his face, and he replied, “Daddy, do you want to tell me that the Galaxy Star Projector in Avery’s room was bought by her nanny? Where did she get money from to buy such an expensive projector? I am not an idiot, Daddy. Why are you divorcing my mother? Do you want to replace my mother with Avery’s nanny? Dream on! It will never happen.” Then he left his father’s study room crying.

When his father saw him leaving without giving him a chance to explain himself, he chased after him. Aiden ran into his room and locked the door. His father knocked on the door for a long time, but he didn’t open it for him. Aiden cried himself to sleep. He was sure that his mother would lose her husband to Avery’s nanny. He started panicking and he felt guilty for ruining his parents’ marriage. He was blaming himself for speaking out of turn in front of his father which led his father divorcing his mother.

Mr Martins went to his daughter’s room to find out what happened to Aiden. He knocked on the door before it was opened; he heard Avery’s voice, “Aiden, I don’t understand what you want from me since you told me that I am no longer your sister. Do you think I will choose you over Aunt Bridge? That will happen in your dreams.” Her father replied, “It’s me Sweetheart, please open the door.”

Avery quickly opened the door and asked, “What is wrong, Daddy?” Her father asked, “Was Aiden here in your room?” Avery nodded her head and replied, “Aiden told me that he came into my room to apologize for his rude behaviour, but when he saw the Galaxy Star Projector, he changed his mind. He accused me of scheming. I felt that even if I explained to him that it was my gift from Aunt Bridge, he would never believe me.”

Avery drank water from her water bottle and said, “Also, he told me that you had given his mother the divorce papers. Daddy, please don’t divorce his mother because of me. I will never allow Aunt Elizabeth to hurt me again. When I remove the cast, I will ask Uncle Clayton to teach me how to defend myself. Aiden will hate me more if you divorce his mother. Please do it for me, Daddy.”

Her father promised that he would think about it, he kissed her forehead, and then he went back to his study room. Since Elizabeth didn’t want children, there was no reason to keep her for the sake of them. He was angry at himself for not protecting his children from his heartless wife. As a result, his son, Aiden, had inherited his mother’s evil heart at the tender age. He decided to wait for his brother-in-law to come back from Australia before he served his wife the divorce papers.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
