I Hope You Will Never Regret

Lily was envious and jealous of Avery for having riches and being surrounded by people who loved her. She rolled her eyes and said mockingly, “You are so pathetic Avery. Are you trying to replace your mother with your nanny because your mother doesn’t love you?This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

So, you are trying to buy your nanny’s love with food. I wonder who is the servant between the two of you.”

Avery looked at Lily coldly and replied, “Miss Parker, you are nothing but a guest in my house. Whether your aunt loves me or not is none of your business. Is there a problem if I buy my Godmother’s love with food?”

Hope chuckled and said, “Don’t be mad, Miss Avery. She is jealous because the Martins family is richer than the Parker family. I heard that she ran away from home because her parents couldn’t afford to buy her a private jet. She has parents who love her the most, but she doesn’t appreciate them.”

Lily looked at Hope and rolled her eyes and replied, “I wasn’t speaking to the servant, who asked you to speak? Know your place.”

Avery sneered, “Don’t be rude, Lily, Aunt Hope is your elder. By the way, do you know that your parents left for Paris because they were disappointed to have a spoiled brat daughter like you?”

Lily blinked her eyes and said, “You are lying, Avery, my parents would never leave without telling me. They are on their way here to fetch me.”

Avery took her phone and played the voice note. It was Uncle Edwin saying goodbye to Avery and telling her to be strong. He also told her to never allow Elizabeth and Lily to bully her.

Lily was so shocked her dearest father didn’t even contact her, but he contacted her cousin. She took her phone, and then she unblocked her mother. She forgot that she had deleted her mother’s text message.

Tears brimmed in her eyes. She ran out of the kitchen and went to her aunt’s bedroom. Unfortunately, her aunt was in a deep sleep. She didn’t sleep well because she was very upset. She was tossing and turning.

After Lily left, Aunt Bridgette hugged Avery and said, “Sweetheart, don’t allow Lily to upset you. She is just jealous; she wished she could be you.” Avery nodded and asked smiling, “What do you want to eat, my Lady?”

Aunt Bridgette smiled and replied, “Why don’t you surprise me, Sweetheart?” After school, she went to the fruit market to buy some fruit because she wanted to make a delicious fruit salad for her beloved Bridge Aunt.

Avery smiled brightly, and then she took mango, plums, apricots, apples, peaches and pineapple from the fruit rack. She washed them, peeled the pineapple and cut them into quarters.

She quickly prepared a marinade. She whisked the melted butter, mint and lemon juice in a bowl, then she added fruit into the marinade.

Ten minutes later, she grilled the fruit until it was tender. She took it out of the oven to cool. Then she put the grilled fruit in a serving dish. Feta cheese was sprinkled on top of the grilled fruit. She put the fruit salad, yoghurt and cutlery on a tray.

At that time, Lily walked back to the kitchen because she was very hungry. Her eyes were red, and she had tear strain on her face. Her parents hurt her so deeply.

She smiled brightly at Aunt Bridgette and said, “Please eat this as an appetizer while I am preparing your lunch, my Lady.”

Aunt Bridgette thanked her and praised her, “Wow, it looks delicious. Let me taste.” It melted in her mouth. Hope was salivating; she wanted to have a taste as well.

Aunt Bridgette looked at Avery and said, “It is refreshing, and it is melting in my mouth. Feta cheese takes the deliciousness of the fruit salad to another level. Thank you, my love.”

She smiled at Hope and said, “Please join me.” Hope didn’t stand on ceremony; she took the cutlery and started eating. She closed her eyes and started chewing slowly.

She wasn’t a fan of fruit salad, but the deliciousness of Avery’s fruit salad blew her mind. She said, “Well done, Miss Martins. I have never tasted anything like this before. It is amazing.”

Lily was still standing in the kitchen waiting to be served. She wanted to taste Avery’s fruit salad, but she was proud to ask. Avery gave her the cutlery and said, “Have a taste.” She sat on the chair and took a few bites. It was unbelievably delicious.

They looked at Lily, they waited for her praise but there was none. Aunt Bridgette took the serving dish away from everyone and said, “My Avery has prepared this fruit salad for me. Some people enjoy it, but they don’t know how to say a word of appreciation.”

Butler Bruce was outside, when he walked into the house, he heard Bridgette’s words; he quickened his pace and walked into the kitchen. He looked at the serving dish and said, “Bridge, may I have a taste please.”

Bridgette smiled and handed the serving dish to him. He didn’t even sit down. He ate while standing. He smiled brightly and said, “It is beyond delicious. Thank you, Miss Martins.” Then he ran away with the fruit salad. Lily frowned; she was still eating.

Half an hour later, Aunt Bridgette and the others were attracted by the smokiness and sweetness of aroma waffling in the air. Lily’s stomach started rumbling again. Avery was taking the plates from the cupboard when her father approached her.

He left the house early in the morning and rushed to the construction site. He was starving. Avery smiled brightly at her father and said, “Good morning, Daddy, please go and sit in the dining room. I will bring the food to you.”

Her father smiled and went to the dining room. She quickly took four plates, and then she started plating. She put two plates, a fruit salad and waffles on the tray. She handed the tray to Aunt Bridgette and said, “Let’s eat in our room.”

She gave Aunt Hope her food. Hope looked at the food and she was mesmerized. It was beautifully plated. The medium rare grilled steak was sitting on the avocado puree.

There were also grilled carrots and baby marrow on the plate. She garnished her plate with cucumber roses. Waffles were placed on a side plate. She took her phone and took a picture.

Avery quickly brought food to her father; she also had a bowl of fruit salad because her father missed breakfast. She smiled and said, “Daddy, please start with the fruit salad first, it’s not too sweet.”

Her father looked at the food in front of him, it looked like a painting. He thanked his daughter and started eating. Avery accompanied her father while he was eating.

Lily felt like crying when she saw Avery leaving the kitchen with her father’s food. She looked at Hope’s food as if she wanted to snatch it. Hope looked at her and asked, “Why don’t you make your own food?” Then she took her food and went to her room.
