A Lifetime With You Chapter 55


    Chapter 55


    Ava reigned in her anger and spoke loudly, “I know that you just want to torture me, but this is a matter


    between us and it has nothing to do with mypany. So, please don’t implicate others.”


    Damien snorted again. In fact, he also came to know about Ava’s advertisingpany today. That


    morning, Dempsey went to hand over Ava’s phone and she found out that Ava was working for the


    company that the Radbury Group had coborated with previously. So, Dempsey just sent the


    document as well.


    The advertising n that Ava’spany came up with didn’t meet the standards of the Radbury Group


    at all. Thus, it was reasonable for the Radbury Group to terminate the contract and Ava wasn’t involved


    in that decision at all.


    It seemed that she had misunderstood himpletely. He sat back on the chair and said, “I can waive


    the penalty from yourpany but I won’t let yourpany handle this project anymore.” “Okay, that’s


    enough,” Ava turned and nned to leave. But Damien continued, “You haven’t heard me finish my


    terms.”


    So, she had to halt her footsteps.


    What more could he want if he was still unsatisfied with the terms that he had mentioned just now? She


    had nothing else to give him anymore. “What are your conditions?” “Put this on.”


    Damien took out a small ck box from the drawer of his desk and pushed it to her.


    Her eyes narrowed instantly.


    This was her wedding ring, wasn’t it? “Damien, what do you want?” This ring was bought when they got


    married, but he had taken it back on the night after the wedding.


    Because he said that she didn’t deserve it.


    That heartless sentence had destroyed her happiness from being newly-wedded. Besides, these rings


    would always be a reminder of her misery during their two years of marriage. What did he mean when


    he took out the ring again? “Put it on when you’re out and never take it off,” his lips quirked up in a


    mischievous smirk. So, this was his condition.


    “Damien, what exactly do you want to do?” “After all, everyone in yourpany knows about your


    status. So, just wear it to remind yourself of your current identity.” Suddenly, Damien’s expression


    became callous again.


    He wanted her to wear this ring all the time to remind others and also as a warning that she belonged


    to him. It was also to avoid her from being involved with other men.


    Ava couldn’t catch his drift, instead, she felt that he was insulting himself.


    She didn’t deserve the ring in the past, but why did he suddenly change his mind now? She sneered


    before she turned around and left. Damien didn’t move and said quietly, “You can’t even do such a


    simple thing. Ava, it seems that you didn’te to me sincerely.” She couldn’t help but feel upset.


    Then, she turned around to grab the small box on the desk – before she walked away again. She


    clenched that ring tightly in her palm and she couldn’t catch a wink of sleep that night.


    She could still remember that she was extremely delighted on the night when she received her


    university offer. She did victoryps around her home and even pinched her tighs repeatedly to remind


    herself that she wasn’t dreaming. She finally got into the same university as him. On top of that, she


    was in the same major and ss as him.


    No one knew how much effort she had put in to get closer to him.


    On the freshman orientation day, she mustered up all her courage and went to greet him. However, all


    she got in return was a cold and indifferent expression. “Damien, don’t you remember me? We…we


    are from the same high school! I am in ss 5 and you were in ss 7! But now, we are finally in the


    same ss.” However, he didn’t show any expression. Obviously, he probably didn’t even remember


    her name. As the student who entered the famous university with the top entrance examination score,


    everyone had their attention on Damien during the orientation. However, she just sat silently in the


    corner and watched him speak as he was the wee representative.


    Perhaps, in everyone’s memory of their youth, there would be someone that was excelled in every


    aspect. For her, that person was handsome, smart, and his presence shone like the dazzling sun.


    However, she could only look up at his brilliance as she struggled to stay close to him. She thought that


    as long as she put in enough effort, she would be able to live up to his standards. However, she didn’t


    know that they were worlds apart from each other. Indeed, someone as mediocre as her would never


    get close to someone who shone as bright as him, things would definitely end up badly for her.


    “Damien, you b*stard,” she said softly in her sleep.


    She heard a familiar, yet foreign chuckle, “How did you manage to dream about me? Is it because can


    only y the bad guy in your dream?” Ava opened her eyes quickly. . She saw a pair of dark and deep-


    set eyes with a sardonic smile in the darkness.


    Then, the light in the room was switched on.


    She was jolted awake and she quickly sat up, “Damien? Why are you here?”


    She had no idea when she had dozed off and what time Damien broke into her room. She clearly heard


    him entering another room before she fell asleep. “My bedroom doesn’t belong to you just because you


    sleep here more often,” Damien replied quietly. She soon discovered that Damien was lying on the


    same bed as her and he somehow crawled under her nket too. “Then… I’ll sleep in the living room,”


    She quickly prepared to get out of bed to free some space for him in the master bedroom. Damien


    stretched out his arms and wrapped her together in the quilt as he hugged her. She was in a daze


    when she felt the warm skin of his chest. It was as if he was still the charming jock from her school


    days and she would get extremely flustered whenever he approached her asionally. Her heart was


    pounding violently, so she took a deep breath and forced herself to keep calm. She tried to act normal,


    even though her lungs felt like they were about to burst. “What did you dream about when you fell


    asleep just now?” he asked faintly.

    “What?”


    “I saw a smile on your face. So, it must have been a sweet dream, but you seemed to be scolding me.


    Do you feel happy when you reprimand me?” Damien’s tone was very gentle and it had no sign of


    anger. However, Ava still tensed up at that instant.


    Since when had Damien been so kind and chatted with her at midnight? He must have a hidden


    motive! “I can’t remember what I saw in my dream, haha…haha…”


    She nned to evade the topic with an awkwardugh. She didn’t feel any difort when he hugged


    her. However, she felt her arm be numb within a few minutes because all of her nerves were


    tensed up. Anyway, Ava did not dare to move at all as this guy had a mercurial temperament. She


    could only pray that he slept quickly so that she could ease the tension in her body. Finally, Damien


    stopped questioning her and he switched off the light before his breathing evened out.
