A Lifetime With You Chapter 66
Chapter 66
On the way home, Ava stared out the window silently. Damien was feeling good, and he nced at Ava
from time to time. He smirked despite receiving a cold shoulder from her.
He did not take her home to the Radbury residence, but instead to the suburb where her mother lived.
Ava was not surprised by his decision. Since Miss Adaly was not fond of her, Ava was not expecting
Damien to disobey her mother’s decision.
Damien pulled over on the entrance towards her housing area and said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow
morning, and let’s go to the office together.”
“That won’t be necessary. I can take the subway on my own.”
“Fine. Suit yourself.”
He chose not to argue with her and Ava got off immediately without looking back. Damien waved her
goodbye, but thetter wasn’t aware of it. Damien sighed while looking at her figure slowly faded away.
He then took out his phone from the pocket. There were several missed calls from her mother, and he
only answered them now. “Damien, why aren’t you here yet? Selina and her parents have been waiting
for you for quite some time now.” “I’ll be right there.”
Damien waste for the gathering held at the private dining of Central Garden Hotel.
Both of his parents as well as the Newton family were waiting for him patiently.
Karen’s face brightened up upon seeing her son and said, “Damien, you are finally here! I know you
are busy, but how could you forget about such an important asion? We have been waiting for your
arrival.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
Damien took his seat and immediately apologized, “I’m truly sorry for the dy as I was sending Ava
home after work.”
The atmosphere was awkward upon hearing his exnation. Yet, Damien seemed oblivious and
poured himself a ss of water. Karen tried to salvage the situation byughing it off, “Haha, Damien
was joking about it! Please don’t mind him too much.” “Well, Ava is indeed my secretary in the office.
Didn’t you hear about it, mom?”
Karen froze upon the statement since it was her first time knowing this. She stood up and asked, “What
did you say?” Daryl pulled her down immediately and whispered, “Stop overreacting!” The Newtons
were taken aback with a pale face. The gathering was nned to discuss the wedding engagement
between Damien and Ava, but the
atmosphere was interrupted now with the newly revealed rtionship between Damien and Ava. D Mr.
Netwon asked, “Damien, I thought both you and Miss Nagel are no longer together, isn’t that right?”
Karen blurted out immediately, “Of course! The divorce was finalized and Ava has left the residence.
She is no longer part of the Radbury family anymore.” “Who told you the divorce was signed? I tore up
the agreement long ago,” imed Damien.
“What!” “Mom, it seems like you have been deceiving Mr. Newton and his family.” Karen was panic-
stricken, “Damien, I thought we had an agreement. Once you’re engaged to Selina…” “What an absurd
thing to say! I am married for more than ten years and I have no intention of getting a divorce anytime
soon. Forcing me to marry Selina is a sin, mom.” D
Daryl shouted at his son, “Watch your words, Damien!”
Damien faked a smile, and his intention of not marrying Selina was obvious. The Newton family was
prideful, and they would never have agreed to the marriage between Selina and a divorcee. It was all
because of the reputation of the Radbury Group. But now, it seemed like the marriage discussion was
called off.
Mr. Newton stood up instantly, “Selina, let’s go.”
Mrs. Gu followed suit.
But Selina remained seated. She stared at Damien in silence for a while before saying, “So… it’s over
between us, right?” “Miss Newton, you are a great business partner and we have been getting along
quite well, right?” “Uh… yeah, both of us are just business partners.”
Selina was heartbroken. 1 But she had no one to me but herself. She was the one suggesting their
rtionship as a mere partnership in the first ce, after all. She suggested faking an engagement with
Damien, hoping that both of their parents were satisfied and could stop disturbing them.
But falling in love with Damien was not part of the n. It was all because she was too immersed in the
fake acting. “As expected, you have lived up to your reputation, Mr. Radbury. Seems like I have learned
a lot from you.” Selina finally straightened herself. “Mom and dad, let’s go.” Now that her ns were
crushed into pieces, Karen was enraged and she tried to stop the Newton family from leaving. But
Selina was firmed with her decision without looking back.
Being the only child of the Newton family, Selina was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Moreover, she was used to getting her way through everything and making her a rather prideful
woman.
She wouldn’t beg for something impossible. Once the Newton family left, Karen mmed the table and
med her son furiously, “Damien, have you lost your mind? I thought we have discussed the idea of
your marriage?” “But I never agreed to it.” Brushing her mother off coldly, Damien started enjoying the
meal.
“You…tell me, have you gone insane because of Ava? You are behaving recklessly, son!” Damien
paused for a moment and smiled smugly, “Hm…perhaps you’re right. I must have gone crazy.” Daryl
and Karen stared at their insolent son, scarcely believing their eyes. Ever since he was a kid, Damien
hardly smiled, and it was even worse when he grew up. Was he really smiling to himself now? Karen’s
vision blurred, and she almost fainted.
The next day at the Radbury Group. Ava waste and barely squeezed herself in the subway on time.
She was all sweaty and looking disheveled once arriving at the office. Upon reaching thepany, she
headed to the pantry immediately to fix herself. As she was re-applying her makeup, the pantry door
swung open and in walked Damien. Ava was startled and identally smeared the lipstick on her face.
“Looks like you are having a great time there! Can’t believe you have the time to fix your make-up
during working. Who are you trying to seduce?” Damien remarked. “…I was just…” He closed the door
of the pantry with a click and strode towards her. Ava took a step backward instinctively, only to realize
that there was nowhere to escape. Damien rubbed his finger on her smeared lips to fix her makeup.
Unfortunately, the smudged area erged and Ava was looking even worse now. Staring at her rosy
cheeks, Damien was nervous. Ava was reminded of yesterday’s scenes. Hence, she pushed him away
quickly and forcefully. “Damien, this is considered workce sexual harassment!”
