I Hope You Will Never Regret

Edwin looked at his sister coldly, but he took the envelope from her and asked, “Elizabeth, are you sure this gift is not for my niece?” Elizabeth smiled and replied, “Big brother, you are so funny. When did I acknowledge your niece as my daughter?” Lilly smiled brightly when she heard her aunt’s words.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Mr Martins hugged his daughter to comfort her, but Avery smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Daddy. Aunt Elizabeth plays the role of a surrogate mother in my life. She doesn’t mean anything to me. Aunt Bridge is my real mother.” Her father heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his lovely daughter was not upset. Then Hope and other helpers gave Avery the gifts.

Avery smiled brightly at everyone and said, “I would like to thank the Lord for blessing me with another year. Also, for surrounding me with people who love me. I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to the Lord.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the generous presents you have given me. I love them. You have made my day so special. May the Lord richly bless you. Since there is a piano, I will play one verse.” She walked to the piano, then she started singing:

What shall I render to Jehovah

For He has done so very much for me

What shall I render to Jehovah

For He has done so very much for me

Tears were streaming down Aunt Bridgette’s face. She was thanking the Lord for sending Uncle Martins to rescue her from the underworld boss. Where would she have been if he hadn’t come? She would be eternally grateful to the Lord for having mercy on her.

Godmother Mia was blinded by tears, she was thanking the Lord for remembering her by blessing her with two boys. Her husband’s family urged him to divorce her, but her husband didn’t give up on her. She thanked the Lord for blessing her with Brad Shelton.

He was the pillar of strength. She turned to her husband and hugged him tightly. He wiped her tears and said, “I love you so much, my beautiful wife.” Avery walked to Aunt Bridgette and hugged her tightly and asked, “Are you alright?” Aunt Bridgette nodded her head.

They started eating. The food was delicious. After they finished eating, the Martins family, the Collins family and the Shelton family bade farewell to the Parker family. Mr Shelton indicated to Mr Martins that they would like to show their Goddaughter her office building when they reached Ballito. Mr Martins nodded his head and told Butler Bruce to follow them.

When they arrived at the office building, they parked their cars in the underground parking. Everyone got out of the cars except Elizabeth. She was so jealous, Lily told her that Mia was her Godmother, but she had never treated her as she treated Avery. Grandma Rose was very happy for her granddaughter.

Mr Shelton showed Avery the twenty-story office building. He indicated that the fifteen floors had been rented out for five years and five floors were vacant. They took the executive lift to the twentieth floor. Avery went to the floor to ceiling window. The view was beautiful. It was overlooking the Indian Ocean.

A few minutes later, they left and went to the airport to see Avery’s private jet. They parked their cars beside the private jet. Then Mr Martins led them to the luxurious private jet. The pilot, Mr Dwayne Abbot and the co-pilot, Miss Angel Nene, Chef Ambrose and two flight attendants were waiting for them outside the plane.

Mr Martins introduced everyone, then they entered the plane. They were greeted by cream soft leather seats with plush pillows. Avery had tears in her eyes, it was clear that her father had spent billions of rand designing her private jet. The interior of the private jet was stunning.

She hugged her father and cried for a long time. Her father had showered her with love since she was born. She was grateful to the Lord for blessing her with such a father.

Her father smiled while wiping her tears and said, “Why are you crying, Sweetheart? Don’t you love your gift?” Avery giggled with tears in her eyes and replied, “I love it, Daddy. Thank you so much.”

Hope and other helpers were over the moon to be in the private jet. Mr Martins smiled at his daughter and said, “The plane accommodates fourteen passengers, and it is equipped with Wi-Fi and flat screen TV.”

Mr Shelton was so impressed, he shook Mr Martins hand and said, “You have raised the bar so high and it will not be easy to reach it. You put so much thought in your gift.” Mr Martins smiled and replied, “Your gift was awesome as well.”

Then the Shelton family hugged Avery and her Godmother said, “Please visit us anytime when you miss us. Your plane design is beautiful. I like it a lot.” Avery promised to visit them when she came back from Paris.

Then they went to their private jet which was parked not far from her private jet. They were sending her God grandparents to OR Tambo International Airport. The twins were reluctant to go with their parents, but they didn’t have a choice because they were going back home the following day.

Mr Martins showed them a luxurious master bedroom. The king-sized bed was soft and there was also a bathroom with a shower. The guest bedroom had a shower as well. The dining area was lavishly decorated with paintings and the kitchen was fully equipped.

Her father told his daughter that Chef Ambrose would accompany her when she went to see the Eiffel Tower. Mrs Martins was overwhelmed with bitterness. Her husband was biased, he spent billions of rand on buying a gift for Avery, but he had spent a few millions of rand to buy her son a gift.

Aiden didn’t care that the private jet was for Avery. He was so excited; he told his father that he was going to the cockpit. He followed the pilot, then he sat on the pilot’s chair and imagined that he was flying the plane. It was the best day of his life. Mr Abbot asked him to stay with them because he was going to take them for a spin.

At that moment, Aiden’s voice was heard telling the passengers to take their seats and fasten their seatbelts because the plane was about to take off. A few minutes later, the plane departed the King Shaka International Airport, then the flight attendants served refreshments to the passengers. Aiden told the passengers that they were going to OR Tambo International Airport. He indicated that the weather was good, and the sky was clear.

Mr Martins was chatting with Clayton and Butler Bruce. They were excited because it was their first time in a private jet. Clayton smiled at Mr Martins and said, “Boss, I would like to accompany Miss Avery to Paris as well. I will be her bodyguard.”

Mr Martins smiled and replied, “Clayton, who is going to be my bodyguard when you are in Paris?” There was no shortage of bodyguards around Mr Martins, but Clayton was his personal bodyguard. Clayton was embarrassed and replied, “Uncle Bruce will be your bodyguard, Sir.”

Butler Bruce laughed out loud and replied, “I am going too, Mr Martins. When are we going?” Mr Martins looked at Butler Bruce and replied, “Do you want to go as well?” Butler Bruce told him that he had never been outside South Africa. He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to see the world.

Mr Martins looked at them and shook his head, then he turned to the ladies and asked, “Do you want to go to Paris next week?” They indicated that they would all like to go. Elizabeth pouted her mouth, but she didn’t utter a word. She was upset. She wished she could destroy the private jet.

When they arrived in Johannesburg, they hired two SUV cars, then Mr Martins took them to the Mall of Africa for a shopping spree. They had a lot of bags when they went back home.

A week later, they went to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower and they visited other tourist attractions. They left Paris a week later, then they visited the Shelton family in Australia for a week. The Shelton family held a welcoming banquet for Avery. Her gifts were cars and houses. The Parker family was invited as well.
