I Hope You Will Never Regret

Aunt Rose had invited her nephew, August, and her grandchildren to welcome the Hayes family. Aiden indicated that he was not feeling well. She also invited the Evans family because they were close to her heart.

When Clayton’s mother, Betty Hayes, saw Hope she smiled brightly and took her hands. She looked at her future daughter-in-law with gentle eyes and said, “You are so beautiful my daughter-in-law. I thank the Lord for blessing the Hayes family with you.”

Hope heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her future mother-in-law’s words. She was very nervous, thinking she would despise her. Mrs Hayes took an exquisite gift box from her handbag and handed it over to Hope.

Hope took the gift box and opened it. Sitting in the gift box was a stunning diamond-heart-shaped necklace. The design was exquisite. Hope felt that the gift was very expensive.

She looked at Clayton for help. Clayton nodded his head. Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and said, “My mother-in-law gave me this necklace when I first met her.”

Then Mrs Hayes helped Hope to wear the necklace. Her mother-in-law smiled and said, “It suits you, my beautiful daughter-in-law.” Hope thanked her mother-in-law for accepting her into the Hayes family. She was overjoyed.

At 6 pm, Hazel ushered Mr Martins and the others to the cozy private room. A few minutes later, the waiters brought food to the private room.

During dinner, a soft melody was heard. Avery was playing the piano, Logan was playing a guitar and Ethan had a violin in his hand.

Ethan started singing, ‘When I First Saw You’ by Jamie Fox and Beyoncé. Everyone was captivated by Ethan’s soulful voice.

At that moment, Clayton knelt down on one knee and said, “Hope, the first time I laid my eyes on you. I know that you are my wife. Sweetheart, will you marry me?”

Hope was so shocked, tears of joy streamed down her beautiful face. She smiled sweetly at Clayton and said, “Yes.” Clayton put a ring on her finger, smiling. Then he hugged and kissed her for a long time.

Hope looked at the ring and said, “Wow, the ring is so beautiful. I like it a lot.” Clayton smiled broadly when he heard his fiancée’s words. The Hayes family and King family hugged and kissed them.

Mr Martins and the Evans family approached them later. Aunt Suzie hugged Hope tightly and said, “Congratulations, my dearest.”

Then she hugged her best friend and said, “Congratulations, my sister, for getting a brand new son-in-law.”

Rose looked at Suzie smiling and replied, “I am still amazed about what the Lord has done for me, Suzie. I am surrounded by people who love me. I am so grateful to the Lord.”

Bridgette approached Hope smiling and said, “Congratulations, may your love for each other grow stronger each day. Your ring is stunning.”

Hope smiled brightly and replied, “Thank you, Bridgette. The Lord has been faithful to me.”

After dinner, Mr Martins dialed Pastor Basil’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Pastor, are you well? I have good news: Aunt Rose accepted Hope as her daughter.

We are having a welcoming banquet on Friday at 1 pm. On Saturday, Clayton and Hope are getting engaged. The engagement banquet will be at 10 am.

I would be very happy if you could join us.” Pastor Basil was overjoyed. He was happy for Aunt Rose. Then they hung up.

Mr Martins also invited his best friend, John Taylor, to his cousin’s banquet. John indicated that he would bring Pastor Basil with them.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday. Joy arrived at His Goodness Resort with her two assistants carrying stunning custom-made gowns.

The welcoming banquet started immediately after lunch. The guests were dressed formally. Hope was wearing an elegant bottle green off-the-shoulder long gown. She had light make-up, and it was impeccable and stunning.

Her parents embraced her, then they gave her the car keys. They bought her an Audi sedan A3. Hope was over the moon. She was moved by her parents’ gift. She thanked her parents for the wonderful gift.

Bridgette smiled brightly at her then she gave her a sapphire and diamond bracelet. Hope smiled brightly and said, “Thank you so much, Bridgette. The bracelet is beautiful, it matches my engagement ring.” Then they hugged each other tightly.

As soon as Grandma Rose accepted Hope as her daughter, Avery bought the Fendi bag online. She received it yesterday.

She approached her smiling and said, “I am so glad that you are my aunt.” She hugged her, then she gave her a gift bag.

When Hope opened the gift bag, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Sitting in the gift bag was a blue Fendi Moonlight shoulder bag. Hope had tears in her eyes.

Last week she told Avery that she loved Fendi handbags, and then she bought the bag for her. She hugged her tightly and said, “You are such a Sweetheart. May the Lord bless you richly.”

Then Aunt Suzie walked to her and said, “You look stunning, my dearest Hope. I am happy that you put a smile on my sister’s face.” Then she gave her an exquisite 18-carat white gold brooch. Hope hugged her and thanked her.

Mrs Caroline Taylor was gentle and kind-hearted. She looked at Hope with a smile and said, “Your mother is a good woman. I am glad that you chose her to be your mother.”

Then she gave her a velvet red box. Sitting on the velvet box was a unique and delicate pair of diamond earrings.

Hope was stunned when she saw the earrings. They were the most beautiful earrings she had ever seen. Hope smiled brightly and thanked her.

Mr Martins approached her smiling brightly and said, “Thank you for being my cousin.” Then she gave her 10% of the Martins Group shares.

Hope’s eyes were as big as saucers when she saw her gift. She didn’t want to take the share certificate. She felt that it was too much.

Cousin August smiled brightly and said, “You deserve it.” Tears streamed down her beautiful face and replied, “Mr Martins, you have done so many good things for me and I don’t deserve this gift.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her parents approached them smiling. When they saw the share certificate, they were shocked. Her mother wiped her tears and said, “Take it, my dearest daughter.” Hope took it with both hands and thanked her cousin.

Aiden was fuming with rage. He quickly sent a text message to his mother telling her about Hope’s gift from his father. He looked at Hope coldly.
