Chapter 161 You Will Never be my Daughter in law
Avery took his phone and dialed Jordan’s number. She saw Jordan take his phone from his suit jacket’s pocket, then switched it off. Her heart ached when she saw that her beloved boyfriend was ignoring her.
She smiled at Siyabonga and said, “Please wait for me. I want to greet Jordan.” Siyabonga nodded his head; he took juice from the waiter.
Jordan was chatting and laughing with his mother. When Jordan saw Avery approaching them, he was so annoyed and said, “What is she doing here because I didn’t invite her?”
When his mother saw a gorgeous girl approaching them smiling, she asked, “Who is she?” Jordan looked at Avery with an icy-cold gaze and replied, “She is no one, Mom.”
Avery greeted them with a smile and said, “May I have a word, Jordan?” His face darkened then he asked his mother to excuse them.
Before Avery uttered a word, Jordan asked, “Avery, what are you doing here? I don’t remember inviting you.” Avery was taken aback; she thought Jordan would be happy to see her and replied, “I came with Siyabonga to celebrate your success.
However, I am sad that you didn’t invite me, Jordan. Why did you ignore my calls?”
Jordan looked at her coldly and replied, “Avery, I am the host. I don’t have time to take calls from irrelevant people while I am socializing.
Everyone important to me is here celebrating with me. Avery, please give me a space, your love is suffocating me.”
Avery felt that her heart was stabbed by a knife. It was clear to her that she wasn’t important in Jordan’s life. She was in a one-sided relationship. She fell in love with the wrong person. She felt suffocated, she couldn’t breathe.
At that moment, Jordan’s mother approached them and asked again, “Son, who is this?” Avery smiled shyly at her future mother-in-law. Jordan gave Avery a warning gaze and replied, “She is no one, Mom.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Then he turned to Avery and said coldly, “Miss Martins, please excuse me, I have matters to attend to.” He left Avery with his mother. Would Mrs Bennet embrace Avery as her future daughter-in-law?
Mrs Bennet looked at Avery up and down with icy cold eyes and said, “Little girl, don’t covet something that doesn’t belong to you. My son is out of your league. I see that you love my son, but he doesn’t love you back.
Stop pestering my son. Why don’t you focus on your studies? Maybe one day you will be able to reach my son’s level.
Also, I would never approve of your relationship with him. Therefore, you will never be my daughter-in-law.” She gave Avery a cold stare, then she left.
Siyabonga approached her and asked, “How was your first meeting with your future mother-in-law?” Avery’s eyes were red; she had never been humiliated like that before. She smiled faintly and said, “Siya, let us go home.”
Then they left together. Tiffany smiled faintly when she saw Avery leaving the venue. She guessed that the meeting between Avery and her future mother-in-law didn’t go well.
Siyabonga and Avery walked to the parking lot. Siyabonga opened the passenger door for her, then he walked to the driver’s side. As soon as they got in the car, Avery cried sorrowfully.
Siyabonga gave her his handkerchief. Avery took it wiped her tears and said, “Jordan’s mother advised me not to covet something that doesn’t belong to me.
Also, she told me that Jordan was out of my league and that I would never be her daughter-in-law. Even her son was cold to me.”
Siyabonga’s heart ached when he saw her crying. He took his handkerchief and wiped her tears. One day, Jordan would regret the way he treated Avery, but it would be too late.
Jordan was an ingrate. After everything Avery had done for him. Siyabonga dropped Avery at her apartment; he waited for a few minutes before he left.
When he arrived at his apartment, he decided to call his boss. The call was quickly connected, and said, “Good evening, CEO Martins, did I wake you up?”
CEO Martins smiled and replied, “Good evening, Siya, are you not supposed to be at the Bennet Group celebration party?” Siyabonga told him everything that had happened.
CEO Martins was fuming with anger; his heart ached for his daughter. He thanked Siyabonga, and then they hung up. Mr Martins called his daughter’s best friend, Gabriella.
When the call was connected, he said, “Hello Gabriella, are you well? Please do me a favour. If you are not busy, please go to Avery’s apartment to keep her company. She has been hurt by Jordan.”
Gabriella knew about the Bennet Group Celebration party. Also, she was aware that her best friend was not invited, but she attended the party as Siyabonga’s plus one. She hated Jordan to the core. He didn’t deserve her best friend.
However, love was blind. Avery was head over heels in love with Jordan. She promised Uncle Martins that she would go to Avery’s apartment. Then they hung up.
Gabriella arrived at Avery’s apartment half an hour later. She hugged her best friend and asked, “Did Jordan introduce you to his parents?” Avery’s eyes were red and puffy. It was clear to Gabriella that her best friend was crying.
Avery shook her head and replied, “Jordan told his mother that I am no one. Then he asked me to give him a space because my love is suffocating him.”
Gabriella was so shocked and said, “One day Jordan will pour out his heart to someone who doesn’t care about him. That day he will feel the pain of being in a one-sided relationship. Was his mother kind to you?”
Tears streamed into Avery’s face and replied, “His mother told me that her son is out of my league, and she would never approve of our relationship.”
Gabriella hugged Avery tightly and said, “Jordan is an ingrate. You have been taking care of his parents for the past four years, but you didn’t even get a “Thank You”.
Sweetheart, please don’t waste your tears on someone who doesn’t appreciate you. I believe the Lord has someone special for you.”
Avery wiped her tears and said, “I was so naïve. I thought if I supported him to achieve his goals, he would see my value in his life and love me back. It is clear to me that it was my wishful thinking. It is time for me to give up.”
