A Lifetime With You

Chapter 50

The next day. When Jessica woke up, she saw Ava sitting on the sofa in the living room. Ava was flipping through a newly-delivered magazine in the morning. It was a famous financial magazine and Damien was on the cover of the annual issue. The reporter asked about Damien’s criteria for choosing a spouse in the interview. His answers were, “Smart, beautiful, and has long legs.”

It was such a vulgar answer.

Ava sneered when she read that article. Maybe the interview of this issue was done when the scandal between Damien and Selina had gone viral. Moreover, there were only a few people who knew about small fry like Ava, who also happened to be Mrs. Damien. In the article, the reporter asked again, “Mr. Radburry, what’s the character that your ideal spouse should have? Can you describe it more specifically?” “Then let’s be more straightforward. My ideal spouse doesn’t need to have extremely long legs, but she must be beautiful.” Ava looked at her legs subconsciously when she saw that answer. She had a height of 1.68 meters, and her legs weren’t short after all. Besides, she also graduated from a famous local university with a master’s degree. Thus, she wasn’t considered daft as well. As for the criteria of beauty… She sighed instinctively. It seemed that his ideal type was totally different from hers. “Ava, what are you looking at with such an intense gaze?” Jessica asked her. Ava closed the magazine quickly. Then, she got up and went to the kitchen to help her mother prepare breakfast.

Meanwhile, Damien woke up and stretched himself languidly even though it was almost noon.

Ava had gone out with her mother at that moment. However, Ava left him a note, which asked him to be sensible and leave after eating breakfast.

He chuckled and kept the note. That magazine was placed at the side of the table. Then, he picked it up when he saw his picture on the cover and noticed that there were traces of it being read before.

The reporter still persevered to dip up details about his personal life at the end of the interview, “So, are you seeing someone now?”

“Yes.”

Meanwhile, at the Radbury Group. Dempsey entered the president’s office and informed him, “President, Ms. Newton is here.” He rubbed his temples and asked his staff to let Selina in. After Selina came in, she greeted him politely and asked, “I saw that Ms. Nagel looked quite pallid at the hospital that day, is it because I made her feel uncomfortable?”

“You don’t have to bother about this.” “Should I clarify to her that we are just normal business partners?” Damien looked up and handed the documents in his hands to her, “Are you here to sign the contract with me, or to exchange pleasantries?”

Selina was taken aback.

It seemed that Damien didn’t buy her words of kindness, or when she acted empathetic towards him.

Anyway, he didn’t even bother to give an explanation, which showed how insignificant Ava was to him.

“Damien, your mum called me this morning and asked me to have a meal with her. But I won’t go if you feel that it’s inappropriate.” Damien groaned a little and replied, “Just go ahead.”

Now that Ava had lost her baby, his mother had started urging him to divorce Ava and remarry again. After all, since Selina could fulfill his mother’s wishes, perhaps his mother wouldn’t mess with All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Ava anymore.

Anyway, it was a bit difficult to calm Ava.

Never did he think that Ava would be so hard to deal with. 1

However, the lady sitting in his office was a tough nut to crack too. This was the first day for Ava to return to work after she had been discharged from the hospital. But, the news that she was Mrs. Radbury had already spread throughout the company. Thus, she had received countless words of flattery ever since she entered the office in the morning.

This made her feel very uneasy. “Don’t be like that guys, I’m still the same as before and I don’t need any special treatment,” she told her colleagues. “How can it be? Ava, our company will be relying on you in the future!” Her boss ran up to her personally and shook her hand enthusiastically. Ava smiled awkwardly and pulled her hand back.

“Ava, maybe you can talk to President Radbury regarding the investment in our company.” “Boss, I don’t own the final say in the Radbury Group.” “What are you talking about? I’ve always treated you well, right? You just have to give him a small hint and get a few investments from their side. That will be good enough for our company’s revenue!”

After she spent the whole morning prattling with her boss and colleagues, she was extremely exhausted. She would probably quit her job at this company if this situation were to persist. It’s all Damien’s fault!

Ava couldn’t help but grit her teeth in annoyance. Meanwhile, Damien, who was far away in his office, sneezed loudly as if he could sense that

someone was talking about him.

After Ava got off from work, she left the office and saw a luxury car stopped at the ground floor of her company building. It wasn’t blase to see a luxury car in front of this office building, which was located in the central business district. However, she could identify that it was Damien’s car. Then, she immediately made a detour, but it was too late as Damien had already blocked her way. “Why are you so afraid of seeing me? Am la freak?” Damien asked. “I’m hiding from an imminent disaster.”

She got rid of his hand coldly. Two of her colleagues happened to pass by at that moment, so they immediately waved to Damien when they saw him. Unexpectedly, Damien smiled and waved back to them.

Since when had Damien become so friendly?! “What are you doing?” “I’m not doing anything. But since you keep hiding from me, I have to make sure that you can’t escape.” D

“You…”

Damien chuckled and yanked her into the car.

“Damien, if you think that this game is fun, there are lots of people out there who are willing to play with you. So, please stop wasting my time.” “I’m here to pick up my wife after she’s done with work, so it’s perfectly justified.”

His words sounded so righteous that she couldn’t retort at all.

Damien picked her up during peak hour in such a high profile. So, she could already foresee the upcoming lively discussion at the office tomorrow. She was so exasperated and embarrassed that she wanted to disappear from the face of the earth. “You don’t have to go to this extent even if you wanted to give out an impression of a gentle and loving husband. I know that you intend to clear up the rumours that you cheated. As long as you divorce me, then your relationship with Selina wouldn’t be a scandal.” Ava said heartlessly.

“I’m not.”

It was peak hour at that time, so the traffic was very congested. Damien, who was driving the car at that time, became a little impatient. She knew that he couldn’t stand time-consuming things like traffic

jams, so he would usually leave his work before the rush hour. So, she had no idea why he was acting abnormally today.

After he drove a certain distance away, Ava noticed that it was neither the route back to her mother’s house nor the Radbury family’s house. “Where are you taking me?”

“Dinner.”

Damien brought Ava to a restaurant, which turned out to be the place that sold her favorite fish
