I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 151 Chess Piece



At the Martins mansion, August was in the living room with his wife talking. He looked at his wife and said, “I received the graduation ceremony dates for our children. They will be graduating on Saturday, the 15th of December.

Aiden’s graduation ceremony will be at 9 am and Avery’s graduation ceremony will be at 2 pm. I was thinking, since our children will be graduating on the same day. Why don’t we have a combined graduation party?”

Elizabeth was surprised to hear that Avery was graduating as well. Didn’t she study medicine? She looked at her husband and said, “Please leave my son’s graduation party to me.

Do whatever you want at your daughter’s graduation party. I will never allow her to steal my son’s limelight.”

August was dumbfounded. He was hoping that for the first time his wife would put their differences aside and accompany him to celebrate their daughter’s achievement.

August looked at his wife with pleading eyes and said, “Elizabeth, our daughter needs your support. For once, can you please act as her mother?”

Elizabeth sneered, “I have never acknowledged her as my daughter and in my heart, I have one child, my precious son.”

Her husband was so disappointed and said, “Please don’t forget to give me the details of Aiden’s graduation party.”

Elizabeth scoffed and replied, “My precious son’s graduation party will be at 2 pm at His Glory hotel.” August looked at his wife for a long time, but he didn’t utter a word.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The following day, Mr Martins went to the university to fetch Aiden. Aiden was overjoyed when he saw his father. He thought his father would send Butler Bruce to fetch him. He was touched.

On their way home, his father told him about their graduation ceremony, “It’s a pity that you are graduating on the same day as your sister. I was hoping that you would support each other.”

Aiden looked at his father puzzled. He thought his sister was doing her third year and asked, “Daddy, is my sister graduating as well?”

His father nodded his head and replied, “Your sister is currently doing her fifth and sixth years and the Faculty of Health Sciences’ graduation ceremony will be held at 2 pm.

Initially, I wanted to have a combined graduation party, but your mother indicated that she would like to organize your graduation party. She told me that your graduation party would be at 2 pm.”

Aiden said, “Daddy, my mother has never showed any interest in my studies. I will attend my sister’s graduation ceremony to give her support. Then we will have a combined graduation ceremony.”

When they arrived home, his mother was over the moon to see him and said, “My precious son, your father told me that you are graduating on the 15th.

So, I have booked the biggest conference room at His Glory hotel for your graduation party. I will be sending the invites soon.”

Aiden looked at his mother and replied, “Mom, I will be attending my sister’s graduation ceremony. Afterwards, we will have a combined graduation party.

I want to celebrate my big day with my whole family and friends. When I was not doing well in my studies, my father was there for me.

My sister prepared Accounting notes for me. I wouldn’t make it without their support.” His mother was shocked when she heard her son’s words. However, she decided not to cancel her booking.

In the blink of an eye, it was graduation day. At the Martins mansion the excitement was written on their faces. Mr Martins invited the Evans family, the Shelton family, the Taylor family, the King family and the Hayes family to his children’s graduation ceremony.

Since Avery was making history, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr Bell, gave the Martins family extra guest tickets.

The Shelton family arrived in South Africa a week earlier to celebrate Avery’s achievement. They wanted to stay at His Glory hotel, but Bridgette invited them to her Penthouse. The Shelton brothers stayed at Avery’s apartment.

Aunt Rose arrived at the Martins mansion with her husband, their daughter and their son-in-law early in the morning. Hope gave birth to a son and her mother-in-law volunteered to babysit her grandson. Her dumpling was her pride and joy.

Elizabeth looked at them and asked, “What are you doing here?” Aunt Rose smiled brightly and replied, “We are here to celebrate my grandson’s achievement.”

Elizabeth sneered, “Some people are not even related by blood with August, but they claim kinship. I hope you have brought your own graduation tickets because we don’t have extra tickets.”

Elizabeth took all Aiden’s graduation tickets. She kept two graduation tickets for herself and Lily. Then she invited the Spencer family and gave them the rest of the tickets. She didn’t even want her husband at her son’s graduation ceremony.

Aunt Rose smiled brightly and replied, “Don’t worry about us, Elizabeth. We are just here to give August our support.” Elizabeth scoffed and went to Lily’s bedroom.

At that moment, August and Aiden walked to the living room. August kissed his aunt and cousin on both cheeks. The helpers informed them that breakfast had been served.

Mr Martins looked at his son and said, “Son, please give your grandma the graduation tickets.” Aiden looked at his mother and replied, “Daddy, I don’t have any tickets with me. Mom indicated that she would save two tickets for you and my sister.”

Mr Martins looked at his wife and said, “Elizabeth, may I have those two tickets please.”

Elizabeth smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes and replied, “I thought you would attend your precious daughter’s graduation ceremony, then I invited my friends for support.”

Aiden couldn’t believe his ears and said, “Mom, I don’t want to see you and Lily at my graduation ceremony. What have you contributed to my studies? Please give me back my graduation tickets.”

His mother was shocked and said, “I am your mother and I have the right to attend your graduation ceremony.” Aiden looked at her coldly and asked, “What have you contributed to my life besides using me as your chess piece?”

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. She looked at her husband with pleading eyes. August patted his son’s shoulder and said, “Fortunately, your sister gave me her tickets, otherwise I will not be able to attend your graduation ceremony.”

Elizabeth was overjoyed when she heard that her husband would use Avery’s graduation tickets. She thought no one would attend Avery’s graduation ceremony.
