A Lifetime With You

Chapter 106

No wonder Selden spoke to Ava in such a gentle and loving tone. He was never like that to anyone else.

“I see. So you deceived her meanly? Selden, you’re just lying to yourself at this point!” “Even if I am, so what? What does this have to do with you?” Kelly scoffed. Yeah, was it any of her business? No! Their relationship ended a long time ago. It was she who couldn’t really let go and move on. But how could he do this? “Do you know what I’ve gone through in the past six months? I thought I killed Ava! I couldn’t sleep every night and kept praying. I thought I did you wrong and have been wanting to compensate you…” She took a few steps closer and grabbed him by the collar. “But now, you’re telling me everything is fake? You lied to me and everyone else! Selden Oakley, you’re such a f*cking jerk!”

She raised her hand high and slapped him in the face.

He didn’t dodge it, and the slap landed hard on his face., Kelly didn’t feel relieved at all, and a second slap came after. Upon hearing the commotion outside, Ava finally came out to have a look. As soon as she came out, she saw Selden grabbed by an unfamiliar and beautiful woman, and he was slapped twice. “Stop it!”

Ava quickly went over and tried to pull both of them apart. Kelly’s eyes fell on her big belly. Then she staggered a step back. Seeing that she was staring at her, Ava covered her belly with her hands out of instinct. She looked up at Selden. At this point, there were fingerprints on his cheeks. But he didn’t seem to be angry. He just held Ava’s waist and said to her softly, “I have something to deal with. Go back in and wait for me, okay?” “What the hell is going on?”

Ava was confused.

In the past few days, people that she didn’t know appeared one after another. And these people seemed to share secrets with Selden. It was a something that she couldn’t figure out no matter how hard she tried. “Ava, listen to me. Go back and have a rest. After I handle everything here with Ms. Hensley, we will leave immediately, okay?” His voice was still gentle. Kelly let out a scoff, “Selden, you’re still trying to cover it up at this point? Wait, are you planning to shut me up?” “Quiet!”

“Why should I? It was my fault in the past, and I admit that. But now, do you think what you are doing is glorious? Selden, how have I never noticed how cunning you are?” Ava did not understand their conversation at all. She saw that Kelly was being aggressive and she could only say, “Miss, I don’t know what happened between you and my husband, but maybe there is a misunderstanding…” “Husband? You mean this man is your husband?”

Ava was stunned. “Is there a problem?”

Kelly widened her eyes and looked at Selden. After a while, she spat out, “Shame on you!” She was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave, but she immediately turned back and pulled Ava’s wrist after taking a few steps. Her grip was strong, and it hurt, but Ava couldn’t get out of it. “Ava Nagel, since you don’t remember anything, I’ll tell you about it.” “Shut the f*ck up!” Selden yelled. But of course Kelly wouldn’t. “Ava, the man you think is your husband is in fact my ex-boyfriend.” Ava looked at the two of them in front of her in disbelief. “Selden, is that true?” Selden’s face darkened, and he didn’t say a word. Kelly continued, “I know you remember nothing. You can’t be blamed for this, but Selden lied to you. You’re not his wife.” HEID

“What did she mean by that?” Ava stared in disbelief with wide eyes. From the lines of their conversations, she became more confused

“Ava, don’t listen to her crap!” Selden shouted. “Huh? Am I talking nonsense or are you hiding the truth for selfish reasons? Selden, you’re disgusting!” After saying this, Kelly finally loosened Ava’s wrist. She then turned around and left. She was happy when she came and thought that she could finally see the person she loved. Even when she left, she had her head held high without looking like a loser. A man like Selden, who would lie all the way just for his own selfish reasons, didn’t deserve her love at all.

She was young and beautiful, and she was the most popular female star in the country! At the door of the house, Ava’s knees were weak and she nearly fell. Selden quickly held her up, but she pushed his arm away. “Selden, tell me the truth. What’s going on? The lady just now.” “Her name is Kelly Hensley, she’s my ex… ex-girlfriend.” “Ex-girlfriend? Then why did she say…that I’m not your wife?”

Selden avoided her intense gaze. He could say that Kelly was jealous and didn’t want to see him being happy with a new partner. However, once he lied, he would have to make up more lies to cover up everything. He suddenly felt helpless. Ava took a few steps back. From his eyes, she saw guilt and avoidance. “So, what she said is true then. You’re hiding something from me.” Ava’s voice suddenly became cold. “What did you not tell me?”

“Ava, I lied to you, but my feelings for you are real. I just want to have a more suitable reason to be with you. You lost your memory. I am afraid that you would overthink, so I…” “I don’t want to listen to any of your excuses. I want you to tell me the truth.” Ava laughed bitterly. In the past six months, her mind had been blank and memories did not come back to her. Therefore, no matter what Selden told her, she believed it all and never doubted him. This time when she really thought about it, there were so many flaws in what he told her! He took her to a foreign country that no one knew about. When he talked to her about the past, he always avoided the important details. In fact… The same man had been appearing in her dreams every night! All of this had hints that could be traced back to her memories. “So you have lied to me all this time!”

“Then tell me, who is my husband if you’re not?” He didn’t respond. She then turned around and left. Although she had already packed up her suitcase for moving, this time she had to leave completely.

She no longer wanted to believe in anybody else. Selden quickly chased after her. “Ava, where are you going?” “Where I go has nothing to do with you. You liar!” She shook off his hand.
