I Hope You Will Never Regret

Mr Martins was eating his breakfast alone. His wife didn’t bother to accompany him. Sometimes he would ask his butler or Aunt Rose to eat with him. He couldn’t wait for his children to grow up. After breakfast, Mr Martins went to her daughter’s nursery to greet her as usual, but she was still sleeping.

He wanted to see her beautiful smile before he left for work. He touched her chubby hands, then he kissed her chubby face. He didn’t linger for a long time because he had a morning meeting with his managers.

When he arrived at the Martins Group, he went straight to the boardroom. His secretary followed behind him with his laptop. His managers were already there. Each manager was giving feedback on the project they were busy with.

When it was Director Paul Evans’ turn, he said, “As we all know, the Martins Group had won a tender to build government subsidized housing. We have started a project to build 3000 houses. We will make sure to produce houses of good quality.”

CEO Martins looked at Director Evans and said, “Your department is the pride of our company. Keep up the good work.” Then the meeting adjourned. CEO Martins and Director Evans walked together to the CEO’s office.

Director Evans smiled and asked, “August, how is my daughter and my god-granddaughter doing?” CEO Martins smiled brightly and replied, “They are doing very well my friend. She turned seven months old today.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Director Evans was beaming from ear to ear and said, “That’s great news, I can’t wait to see them.” His friend indicated that he was welcomed anytime he wished to visit them. Then he bade goodbye to CEO Martins and left. He was rushing to the construction site.

Mr Martins walked to the floor to ceiling window with a painting in his hand. Bridgette had given him a painting of him carrying baby Avery in his arms when they were in the park. He had a bright smile on his face.

Since he didn’t have any scheduled meetings, he decided to go home early. He packed up and drove home smiling. He walked to his daughter’s nursery to see her. She was so excited when she saw her father. She started walking to him. He was so happy he had tears in his eyes, he held her in his arms laughing.

Even Bridgette was surprised to see her walking, she didn’t even crawl. Her father put her down and took her phone to capture her daughter’s beautiful moment. She walked very fast towards her father giggling. He was so scared that his Avery would run too quickly and fall down.

He picked her up and kissed her on her chubby cheeks. Avery giggled and said, “Daddy.” Her father was so shocked to hear his daughter talking and said, “Say it again, Sweetheart.” Avery giggled and said, “Daddy.”

Tears streamed down his face. He was so happy, even his son, Aiden, didn’t learn to speak so early. He started talking when he was ten months old. Then he started walking when he was one year old. She looked at Bridgette smiling and said, “Mommy.”

Bridgette was so touched she smiled sweetly at her. Uncle Martins handed Avery to Bridgette, smiling. Bridgette hugged her tightly in her arms. She wished that Aunt Elizabeth had been there to witness her daughter’s first words.

Avery showed a high level of intelligence. Her father asked his butler to buy a cake and snacks to celebrate her daughter’s milestone. He asked his wife to join them, but she refused. She looked at her husband and said, “August, please don’t tell me anything about your daughter.”

August looked at his wife for a long time, then he went to his son’s nursery. Aiden was playing with his toys, his face lit up when he saw his father. His father sat down on the floor and played with him. Butler Bruce knocked on the door and told him that he had bought the cake.

Mr Martins picked his son up and said, “Let’s go to your sister’s nursery, I have a surprise for you.” Aiden was grinning from ear to ear thinking about delicious food. He was a foodie. He became excited when he saw a cake. He thought it was his birthday celebration.

Bridgette was carrying baby Avery looking at the painting on the wall. Mr Martins walked to them with Aiden in his arms, then he took Avery from Bridgette’s arms. He was carrying his children in each arm. Aiden was looking at his baby sister with a gentle smile. He asked Aunt Rose to come with everyone to Avery’s nursery.

Mr Martins told everyone that they were celebrating Avery’s milestones. She had started walking and talking. When Aunt Rose heard that little Avery started talking, she was over the moon. They were so happy for Avery.

She carried little Avery in her arms and said, “Baby Avery say granny.” Avery smiled sweetly and said, “Granny”. Aunt Rose had tears of joy in her tears. She praised little Avery and hugged her tightly and said, “You are so intelligent my grandchild. I am so grateful to the Lord for blessing you with wisdom.”

Bridgette hugged both Aunt Rose and Avery and said, “He also blessed her with soul starring beauty. Aunt Elizabeth is beautiful, but Avery is outstanding.” Mr Martins smiled and said, “She took after her grandmother from her mother’s side. She was very beautiful.”

Aunt Rose said, “I wonder what your wife would say when she sees her daughter. Since her daughter is her mother’s replica.” Mr Martins replied, “I don’t think she will care.” His wife had hardened her heart towards their daughter. Bridgette told them that Aunt Elizabeth met her daughter when she was six months old.

They both looked at her with questioning eyes. Bridgette said, “Uncle Martins, do you remember that day when we took baby Avery to the park? Baby Avery was in Clayton’s arms and Aunt Elizabeth was standing by the lift. I saw in her eyes that she was shocked when she saw her baby even though she didn’t utter a word.”

Both Mr Martins and Aunt Rose were surprised to hear that Avery’s mother didn’t react when she saw her daughter. Their hearts ached for baby Avery. Her father didn’t know how he would explain to Avery her mother’s behaviour when she was old.
