A Lifetime With You Chapter 67


    Chapter 67


    Damien wrapped her arm around Ava’s waist with a smirk, “We are married and there is nothing wrong


    with that.” “But we’re in the office!” Amidst her struggle to escape, she smacked a cup of hot coffee


    identally. The boiling coffee spilled over Damien’s arm and he hissed in pain before he let go of her.


    The coffee stain was rather obvious despite the dark-colored shirt worn by him today. As Damien rolled


    up his sleeves, arge patch of reddened skin was revealed and it was somehow painful just by looking


    at it. Ava went frantic, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to…” She quickly soaked his arm in the cold water, and


    Damien did not resist it. It was his first time being cared for by a woman, and he felt strange. The panic


    in her eyes reflected her concern towards Damien.


    Instead of getting upset, Damien embraced her with a grin. “Uh oh, you’re in trouble now, Ava,” he


    whispered in her ear. “What should I do now? Is it painful? Wait here, I’ll go and get you some ointment


    for the burn!” In a sh, Ava ran out to get him some soothing gel. Damien was dumbfounded by her


    sudden action. By the time Ava returned from the pharmacy with the ointment, Damien was back to his


    office. He propped his head up on one elbow and his sleeve was rolled up. The reddened skin was now


    visible to Ava.

    Ava rushed and passed him the ointment.


    “Here, take this. It was rmended by the pharmacist. Do apply thrice a day and your skin will heal


    within two days.” “Fine. Apply them for me then.”


    Ava originally intended to leave once delivering the ointment to Damien. But now she was left with no


    choice but to treat his wound.


    It was not a serious injury. Yet, Damien’s arm seemed to be severely affected. He even yelped a little


    when Ava applied the ointment and reminded her to be gentler.


    As far as she could remember, Damien had a high pain tolerance. “Well, you can’t me me. Who told


    you to behave recklessly just now?” Ava muttered. “What did you say?” “… I am saying that you are a


    delicate and precious person. I can’t afford to cause you any harm. So, for the sake of everyone, we


    should keep a distance of at least five meters apart at all times.” Damien snorted slightly. –


    Ava had to bend over slightly to tend Damien’s wound because thetter was seated. Her cool fingers


    were somehow a relief to his scalded skin.


    Such a minor burn shouldn’t require much attention. At this point, it was not painful for Damien


    anymore.


    However, he reminded Ava, “Since the ointment has to be applied thrice a day, don’t forget toe


    and tend my wound during the afternoon.”


    “It’s not even that serious. Why can’t you do it on your own? It’s not like you’re handicapped anyway.”


    Damien lifted his arm and continued, “You hurt me and the responsibility is yours now.”


    “What a nuisance,” Ava muttered. She ced the ointment down and left.


    The nature of Ava’s work was notplicated, but many details required her constant attention. She


    continued her work and before long; it was lunchtime already. Ava looked up and realized that there


    was no one left in the office except herself. Though her colleagues had their lunch at the canteen,


    everyone avoided Ava because of her identity. She patted her grumbling stomach and headed out for


    lunch. Suddenly, Damien appeared and blocked Ava before she could leave the office. “I told you to


    tend my wound in the afternoon. Have you forgotten about it?” Damien mumbled. Ava was frustrated,


    “Even so, please let me have my lunch first, Mr. Radbury.” “Fine, let’s have lunch then.” Damien then


    pulled her into his office. His lunches were usually prepared by the chef he hired, and the meals were


    luxuriouspared to thepany canteen. While entering the office, Ava found two sets of cutlery


    ced beside the lunch. “What is the meaning of this?” Ava was getting confused.


    “Lunch is served.”


    Ava was dragged to the sofa by Damien. Thetter was breaking his own rules now. Earlier on, he


    imed that everything was strictly professional at the workce despite their personal rtionship.


    Damien noticed that Ava did not resist the lunch offered by him. After all, Radbury residence had a


    certified Michelin star chef. The only thing Ava missed while staying at the residence was the food


    served. Seeing Ava scooped the first mouthful of food into her mouth, Damien suddenly said, “From


    now on, the lunch fee will be deducted from your sry.” Upon hearing Damien’sment, Ava lost


    her appetite instantly and rebuked him, “But why!” “Because nothing is free,” muttered Damien.


    Instantly, Ava ced her chopsticks down and prepared to leave. Instead of paying for the food, she


    would rather enjoy her free lunch at thepany canteen.


    Much to her dismay, the office door was locked by Damien. Failing to open the door, Ava turned around


    and demanded, “Who do you think you are! Unlocked the door now!”


    Damien ignored her request and said, “Come back here. Let’s enjoy our lunch together.” Ava was


    tempted by the offer before returning to her seat. She refuted, “Since Mr. Radbury needs a lunch


    companion, then you should pay me for the extra services, right? After all, someone taught me that


    nothing is free in the world.” “It’s fine by me,” Damien agreed to her demand. Damien started digging in


    without waiting for Ava. On the other hand, Ava was tortured by the food aroma and suddenly, her


    stomach grumbled loudly. This was embarrassing for Ava! She pressed her stomach right away while


    trying to endure her hunger. A faint smile crept across Damien’s face. As if teasing Ava, he picked up


    drumstick into his bowl. Looking at Damien enjoying his meal deliciously, Ava gulped and hesitated


    before decided to join the lunch.


    At the entrance of Koi Condominiums. The doorbell rang, and Kelly answered the door, only to find


    Selden was standing in her doorway. With a gloomy expression, Kelly snapped, “What are you doing


    here?” “You didn’t answer my calls. So, here I am today,” replied Seldon. Kelly snorted at the remark.


    She blocked all of his contacts after their rather unpleasant breakup. When Seldon approached Kelly


    that day through her assistant, thetter had initially thought about the possible reconciliation between


    them. Yet, Selden was furious at Kelly for framing Ava instead. It was all Ava’s fault for being a


    pretentious woman! Kelly was infuriated by how she flirted with other guys despite being a married


    woman. In her opinion, Ava had gotten off easy! She deserved far worse consequences than just losing


    her job.


    Yet, Selden chose to support Ava, in which Kelly was extremely irritated.
