I Hope You Will Never Regret

Caia couldn’t believe her ears when she heard that August loved her back. She flashed him a beautiful smile and replied, “I am so happy. Let’s call my parents to ask for my hand in marriage from them. I cannot wait to be your wife, my love.”

Caia dialed her mother’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Hello Mom, how are you doing?” Her mother was beaming with joy when she heard her beloved daughter’s voice. She told her that everything was well with them.

Caia switched to video call and asked, “Mommy, where is Daddy? I have good news to tell you.” Her mother was overjoyed and replied, “Your father is in the study room with Reece. Let me go to them.”

A few minutes later, her mother was in the study room with her husband and her son, Reece. Her husband smiled broadly at his wife and asked, “Are you looking for me, my dearest wife?”

His wife smiled brightly and replied, “Caia wants to talk to us.” Then she sat on the sofa. Her husband and son went to the sofa and sat beside her.

Caia smiled at her family and said, “Dad, Mom, big brother, I am in love. My future husband wants to ask you something.”

Then August greeted the Ford family with respect and said, “Dad, Mom, I love your daughter so much. I would like to ask permission to marry her.”

Caia’s father laughed out loud and replied, “I never thought that my beloved daughter would ever find a man her soul loves. I give you my blessing, August. What do you think, my wife?”

Caia’s mother smiled and replied, “I heard from my eldest daughter that you are a good man, August. So, I give you my blessing too.” Reece was beaming with joy and said, “Me too, big brother. I am so happy for you, baby sis.”

August thanked his in-laws and said, “Dad, Mom, we will be registering our marriage the following day. Then I will visit the Ford family for betrothal gifts after my daughter’s wedding.” Caia’s family was over the moon.

Caia smiled at her family and said, “I am so happy, Mommy. The Lord has been good to me, and I am grateful.” They bade them farewell, and then they hung up the phone.

After that, August led her outdoors hand in hand. They were chatting about everything and nothing. August hugged her tightly and said, “Darling, I cannot wait for you to be my wife.”

Caia’s heart was leaping with joy and replied, “I am so glad that you are mine. I am counting my blessings, my love.”

Around 5 pm, Caia reluctantly bade goodbye to her future husband and left the Martins mansion. August promised that he would fetch her at 9 am to register their marriage at Home Affairs.

August took his phone and called his beloved daughter. When it was connected, he said, “Sweetheart, I met someone who makes my heart flutter. I am going to register our marriage tomorrow.”

Avery smiled brightly and replied, “I am so happy for you, Daddy. I wish you nothing but the best in your journey as you build your lives together. You are perfect for each other. I love you, Daddy.”

Her father felt a surge of warmth flowing through his heart and said, “Thank you so much for your support, Sweetheart. I love you more.”

Xavier took the phone from his wife and said, “Congratulations, Dad. May the Lord give you both the strength to overcome all the trials.

May the love that brought you together remain forever in your heart. I love and respect you, Dad.”

His father-in-law’s heart was leaping with joy and replied, “Thank you so much, my outstanding Son. I love you more.” Then they hung up.

Later, August went to fetch Pastor Basil. When they arrived home, Pastor Basil couldn’t contain his excitement when he saw the interior of the mansion. He looked at August and said, “Son, you have good taste. The house is beautiful.”

August smiled broadly and replied, “Dad, the mansion was beautifully decorated by my future wife. I never thought I would find happiness again, but the Lord gifted me with a good woman. We are going to register our marriage tomorrow.”

Pastor Basil was beaming with joy and said, “Congratulations, Son. When am I going to meet my precious daughter-in-law?” August smiled broadly and replied, “I will bring her to you on Tuesday to take a look, Dad.”

Pastor Basil was happy to hear that. Then August took him to the lavishly decorated prayer room. They were greeted by the white sofas and white plush rug on the floor. On the altar, there was a cross and the bible.

Pastor Basil walked to the altar and asked the Lord to bless and protect the mansion. He prayed that the Lord put a hedge around August and his household. He also asked the Lord to bless the work of August’s hands.

August hugged and thanked him for such a wonderful prayer. Then he asked him to spend the night at the mansion. He promised to drop him off at the church after 8 am. Pastor Basil had daily prayer meetings at 9 am.

After dinner, August escorted Pastor Basil to the guest room on the second floor. He gave him a pair of pajamas, then he bade him goodnight and went to his bedroom on the third floor.

He took his phone and dialed his aunt’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Aunt Rose, I am getting married tomorrow.” Aunt Rose was so happy that she cried and asked, “Who is the lucky lady, August?”

August smiled and replied, “My future bride is Caia Ford, Mrs Taylor’s youngest sister. I love her so much, Auntie. I never thought I would ever fall in love again after being hurt by Elizabeth.”

Aunt Rose was so happy for her nephew and said, “When are you going to introduce her to me, August?”

August smiled and replied, “I will introduce her to you on Wednesday evening. We will have dinner at your house.” Aunt Rose was overjoyed. Then they hung up the phone.

At the Taylor mansion, Caia was in her bedroom with her sister. She was smiling from ear to ear. She was really happy.

Caroline hugged her sister and said, “I am so happy for you, my dearest sis. May your love bloom and flourish every season.”

Caia smiled sweetly at her sister and replied, “Thank you, big sis, for everything. My heart is full of gratitude to the Lord for blessing me with August. I love him deeply.”

During dinner, Caroline smiled at her father-in-law and said, “Dad, Caia is getting married tomorrow. So, today is her last night at this mansion.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Mr Taylor senior smiled broadly and asked, “Who is the lucky man?” Caroline told him that it was Avery’s father. He beamed and replied, “You chose well, Caia. August is a good man.”

The following morning, August dropped Pastor Basil at the church, and then he drove his car to the Taylor mansion. Fortunately, the gate was not locked. He parked his car in the driveway, then he knocked on the door.
