I Hope You Will Never Regret

The Taylor family, the Evans family, and their guests walked to the lifts and pressed the 50th floor button.

Mr Taylor senior had invited Ben the reporter to his son’s engagement banquet. Outside the ballroom, there was a photo of Keith and Bridgette.

The venue was lavishly decorated. Bridgette wanted a small engagement banquet with people who were only close to them.

The MC, Reece Ford, went onto the stage, then he took a microphone and said, “Welcome to the Engagement Banquet of Keith Taylor and Bridgette Evans.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Without further ado, I would like to invite Pastor Basil to come forward. Pastor Basil walked to the stage and waited for the couple. The DJ was playing John Legend’s song ‘All of Me’ softly.

Keith took Bridgette’s hand, then they walked to the stage and stood before Pastor Basil. Bridgette had a bright smile on her face. Pastor Basil smiled broadly at the couple, then he asked the guests to stand.

Pastor Basil looked at the couple and spoke a word of blessing upon their lives. Then he reached out his hand shook Keith’s hand and kissed Bridgette on both cheeks. The couple went to the main table smiling from ear to ear.

The two families hugged and kissed the couple. Keith and Bridgette cut the cake, then they went to the tables and toasted the guests. The DJ played romantic songs and the couple danced.

Later, they were joined by the guests. Mr Martins walked to Caia and asked, “Miss Ford, may I have this dance?” Caia looked at Mr Martins shyly, then she took his hand and went to the dance floor.

Caia was over the moon. Her heart was pounding against her chest. The smile on her face was indescribable. Her future husband smelled so good, and she felt at home in his strong arms. She wished the song could never end.

After the song ended, Reece smiled and said, “It’s time for gifts. Please bring your gifts to the main table.” Bridgette received lots of gifts from the guests.

At 12 pm, Chef Bruno delivered his signature dish, Lamb curry, rice, and steamed bread at the venue. He also catered food for vegetarians. The food was so delicious that the guests went for a second helping.

After they finished eating, the MC asked Mr Taylor senior to say a few words.

Mr Taylor senior smiled brightly and said, “I would like to thank my precious grandson and my gorgeous granddaughter-in-love for inviting my daughter-in-law to the Taylor family mansion.”

Then he looked at Keith and Bridgette and said, “I love you both very much. I thank the Lord for blessing the Taylor family with my beautiful daughter-in-law.

My advice to you is, please don’t take each other for granted. Respect each other.” Then he went to his table and sat down. His eldest son, John, hugged him tightly.

Reece thanked Mr Taylor senior for speaking words of wisdom. Then he asked Mr Evans to say a few words. Mr Evans was beaming with joy and said, “When Bridgette told us that she fell in love with Keith, we couldn’t believe our ears.

We thanked the Lord that Keith and Bridgette didn’t miss each other. May the Lord bless you with a cute little dumpling.

Also, I would like to salute my stunning God granddaughter and my outstanding God grandson for introducing Keith and Bridgette to each other.” Then he went to his table and sat down. His wife squeezed his hand, smiling from ear to ear.

At 3 pm, the guests started leaving. Gabriella looked at Ross shyly and said, “Please fetch me home at 12 pm.” Then she followed her parents. Ross was beaming with joy.

His grandfather was smiling from ear to ear when he saw Miss Stone talking to his precious grandson. He walked to his grandson and said, “I like my future granddaughter-in-law a lot.”

Ross smiled brightly and replied, “Me too, Grandpa. The first time I saw her it was as if I had seen her before. She is my soulmate, Grandpa. I have been waiting for her for the whole thirty years.”

His grandfather’s heart leaped with joy and said, “I am waiting for good news, my precious grandson.” Then they walked towards the lifts smiling.

On Sunday morning, at the Kemp household, Page went outside to fetch her father’s newspaper. She screamed when she saw the first page. There was a photo of Bridgette and Keith.

She rushed to her father and said, “Daddy, Aunt Suzie didn’t invite us to Bridgette’s wedding.”

Her father, Eden Kemp, took the newspaper and started reading. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was an engagement banquet.

He looked at his wife coldly and said, “Look at what you have done. My sister didn’t invite us because you asked for a refund. Please transfer the money back to my sister.”

His wife pouted her mouth and replied, “Your sister is filthy rich, and her daughter is married to the wealthiest family. Ten thousand rand is like a drop in the ocean. Therefore, I will never return the money to her.”

Eden looked at his wife coldly, then he took his phone and dialed his sister’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Good morning, my dearest sis. Are you well?”

Suzie replied, “Eden, let me call you after church.” Then she hung up the phone. She followed her husband to church.

After church, Mr Evans and his wife went home. After they finished eating lunch, Suzie took her phone and dialed her younger brother’s phone number.

When it was connected, she said, “Hello Eden. Are you well?” Eden smiled brightly and replied, “All is well with us, big sis. Congratulations.

I saw the photo of my niece and her fiance in the Sunday Times newspaper. Why didn’t you invite us, big sis?”

Suzie didn’t tell her brother that Bridgette and Keith were husband and wife. She sneered, “I am tired of begging you guys. I decided to remove the Kemp family from my heart. Please don’t bother me anymore. Bye.” Then she hung up.

Eden was utterly dumbfounded. The Kemp family had wronged their sister because they thought she had married a pauper. They were shocked when they found out that their sister’s husband was filthy rich.

Their eldest brother told Eden to maintain the relationship between him and their sister. He was hoping that one day their sister would forgive them.

When Eden told his siblings that his wife demanded a refund from their sister, they felt that it was over. So, when his sister told him that she had decided to remove the Kemp family from her heart, he felt like crying.
