Chapter 297 Opulent Sanctuary
One Saturday morning, Aunt Caia approached Avery smiling and handed the Martins mansion’s set of keys to her. Avery hugged her and said, “I can’t wait to see your masterpiece, Aunt Caia. Thank you for everything.”
She then took her phone and dialed her father’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Good morning, Daddy. Are you well?” Her father was beaming with joy when he heard his beloved daughter’s voice.
He smiled broadly and replied, “I am well, my lovely daughter. Thank you. How are you doing?” Avery indicated that all was well with them. Then she told him that the mansion’s interior design had been completed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Her father was over the moon and asked, “Sweetheart, why don’t we go to the mansion around 10 am to take a look?” Avery agreed to meet her father, then they hung up.
She then called His Glory chef and asked him to bring raw food to the new Martins residence at 11 am. He gave him the address. Then they bade goodbye to each other.
He immediately dialed his son, Aiden’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Son, are you well? Your sister has finished decorating the mansion. Do you mind accompanying me to take a look?”
Aiden was not happy that his father was moving on with his life. Even though it was his mother who initiated the divorce, it still hurt that his father didn’t fight for his mother.
It seemed like he was betraying his mother and replied, “I am sorry, Dad. It’s a short notice. I have other commitments today, maybe some other time.” Then they hung up the phone.
Xavier told the elders that they were visiting their father at the new Martins residence. Then they left. When they arrived at the new Martins mansion, their father was already there waiting for them.
He was overjoyed to see them. He hugged his son-in-law and kissed his lovely daughter. He looked at his children and said, “I tried to invite your brother, but he indicated that he had other commitments.”
Avery smiled but she didn’t utter a word. Aiden was still unhappy about his parents’ divorce. She then took the set of keys from her handbag and handed it to her father.
Her father smiled, and then he opened the door. They were greeted by sophistication and timeless elegance. The oversized chandeliers were hanging on the lavishly designed ceilings.
Avery’s father looked at his mansion with awe. The interior designer had turned his mansion into a captivating masterpiece.
From the ground floor to the third floor, each room narrated a unique tale of craftsmanship and opulence. The mansion was a celebration of art.
He looked at his lovely daughter with a broad smile and said, “I don’t have enough words to thank you, my beautiful daughter. The mansion’s beauty is mind-blowing.”
Avery smiled brightly and replied, “Dad, I can’t take the credit. This state-of-the-art masterpiece was created by Aunt Caia.” Her father was dumbfounded. He took it as a sign that Miss Ford was his future wife.
He smiled broadly, then he turned to his outstanding son-in-law and said, “Son, I have to thank your aunt for creating this opulent sanctuary. It took my breath away.”
Xavier nodded his head and replied, “She did an excellent job, Dad. The mansion has a relaxing and harmonious ambiance.”
The living room’s sliding door led them to the expansive outdoor area. They were attracted by the infinite pool, the tennis court, the garden with red roses, Blue Iris flowers, Juliet Rose flowers, and an entertainment area.
Avery looked at her father and asked, “Daddy, do you mind if we have a housewarming on Saturday?” Her father shook his head and replied, “It would be lovely to have people in this breathtaking mansion. It’s like a breath of fresh air.”
At that moment, the sound of a car was heard. Four young men got out of the van carrying raw food. Xavier greeted them then he directed them to the kitchen. Avery thanked them, and then they left.
She walked to the living room and asked, “Daddy, what do you want to eat today?” Her father was beaming with joy and replied, “Why don’t you surprise me, Sweetheart?”
Avery flashed her husband a dazzling smile and said, “My handsome husband, please keep Daddy some company. Please don’t forget to give Daddy Aunt Caia’s phone number.”
Xavier smiled broadly and replied, “Sweetheart, Aunt Caia will faint when she receives a call from Dad.” Avery giggled and said, “I wish I could be a fly on the wall to witness that moment, Honey.
Xavier laughed out loud, then he walked to the living room to join his father-in-law. He looked at his father-in-law and said, “Dad, I just forwarded Aunt Caia’s contact details to your phone.”
His father-in-law thanked him and said, “Thank you, Son. I will surely call this young lady to convey my gratitude. Does she lack anything, Son?”
Xavier nearly blurted out ‘Aunt Caia fell in love with you at first sight’. He smiled and replied, “I don’t know, Dad, since she is coming from a wealthy family. Maybe you can invite her here for dinner to thank her.”
His father-in-law smiled broadly and replied, “I will follow your advice, Son. I will ask Avery to tell me her food preference.”
An hour later, Avery took the white plates from the cupboard and washed them. She warmed them and started plating. Her husband set the dining table and went to the kitchen to help his wife.
His father-in-law went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then he walked to the luxurious dining room. Avery placed a plate of food in front of her father and said, “Bon Appetit.”
Her father looked at his food and said, “Sweethearts, your plating looks like a painting.” Then they started eating. She served them beef tenderloin fillet and roasted veggies. The food was beyond delicious.
After lunch, their father smiled broadly at them and said, “Please don’t go back to the Taylor mansion today, please spend the night with your old man.” Avery looked at her husband.
Xavier looked at his father-in-law smiling and replied, “Thank you, Dad. We will be happy to spend more time with you.” His father-in-law was beaming with joy.
Then Xavier took his phone and dialed his mother’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Mom, Aunt Caia has done a good job, the mansion is breathtakingly beautiful. My father was very impressed.
We will be spending the night at my father-in-law’s mansion. Kindly pack our clothes in the luggage. Wayne will fetch them later.” His mother was overjoyed when she heard that her in-law was impressed with the mansion’s decoration.
They bade each other goodbye then he dialed Wayne’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Wayne, please fetch my luggage from the Taylor mansion and bring them to my father-in-law’s mansion.” He gave him the address, and then they hung up.
