A Lifetime With You Chapter 76


    Chapter 76


    This was an unexpected order from Damien. Everyone went off to enjoy their break time and left the


    couple on their own. “No more next time, alright…” Before Damien could finish, his mouth was stuffed


    with the cotton candy. Damien felt it melted instantly and leaving only a trace of sugary sweetness in


    his mouth. “Do you like it?” Ava asked. Damien snorted and muttered, “I don’t understand the pleasure


    of eating cotton candy.”. “Humph! Judging from your reaction, I bet it was your first time eating cotton


    candy,” Ava sneered. She was right. Damien had never eaten cotton candy before. This exined why


    he had no idea that therge fluffy cotton candy could melt like that before swallowing But it tasted very


    sweet nheless. After the incident twenty years ago, he never thought of having cotton candy


    anymore. After all, Damien was traumatized by the kidnapping incident until today. He watched Ava


    tore off a chunk of the candy and swallowed it off in one go. Damien then noticed sugary stains around


    her mouth. “You look messy,” Damienmented. “Hey! You look the same too just now!” Ava tried to


    feed him by aiming the cotton candy at his mouth. Damien dodged and sooner, both of them ended up


    in a sweet and sticky mess. “It’s all your fault that we’re sticky now!” Ava berated him. Yet, Damien was


    in a good mood. It was a strange feeling. Ever since his confession that night, their rtionship seemed


    to have improved.


    Unlike previously when she used to walk on eggshells around him, Ava was more rxed and cheerful


    now. Damien was reminded of her in a dress waiting under the cherry blossom trees in the past. He


    noticed that Ava was seemingly anticipating someone every day after sses. It took him some time to


    recognize her name and figured out that Damien was the one she was waiting for. “Hey, stop


    daydreaming! I’m going to wash my hands.” Ava waved in his face to get his attention. Damien


    returned to his senses and nodded. The public washroom was nearby and both of them entered their


    gender-designated sections. However, Ava did note out after Damien exited the washroom.


    Women were always dawdling in the washroom!


    Damien bit the remaining cotton candy and realized that it was melting and falling apart under the hot


    sun.


    He could not resist and took another bite. It was his first time eating in front of a public washroom.


    Until he finished the candy, Ava was still noting out. Damien decided to yell her name from the


    outside. However, there was no reply. Only then Damien realized that something went wrong and he


    tossed the stick aside while rushing into the washroom!


    As he swung open the door, Damien felt a heavy blow hit his nape. He then felt a pain through his skull


    and cked out. When he woke up again, Damien could see nothing in front of him.


    A voice called for him repeatedly, “Damien… Damien! Wake up, Damien!”

    “Ava?”


    He recognized Ava’s voice and reached towards her instinctively. From there, Damien could feel her


    face.


    “Where are we? What the hell is going on?” Damien sat up quickly His neck was throbbing and the pain


    was triggered every time he moved. Ava had regained consciousness before him and she was used to


    the darkness, though she too could not see anything. “I’ve tried patting around and there are walls


    around us. Perhaps we’re in some kind of cer,” Ava concluded. Damien could smell a faint musty


    scent of old cabbages. Undoubtedly, they were either in the basement or a cer.


    But why were they here?


    Ava remembered herself washing hands at the sink before a sudden blow hit her head and she lost


    consciousness. “Damien, are we being kidnapped?” Ava asked. The word ‘kidnap’ sent shudders down


    his spine. Damien could feel his childhood traumaing back again. The cotton candy, kidnapping,


    underground cer, and the darkness… But who was behind this? “Don’t worry. There must be a way


    out from this cer.” Damien held Ava’s hand and stood up. Finally, they could feel a wall around. He


    traced his fingers along the wall in the dark and after half an hour, he bumped into something that felt


    like adder.


    Damien asked Ava to secure thedder as he climbed it. The climb was difficult as he could see


    nothing in the dark. The area was not high. In the end, Damien reached the top and tried to lift the


    cover, but to no avail. It was heavy, as if it was blocked by granite or marble b. “I can’t lift the cover


    with my strength while standing on adder;” Damien said and went down again. While Damien


    searched around for some tools, Ava said dejectedly, “Forget it. Whoever’s behind this shall have


    everything well-nned and there’s no way we can escape that easily.” They continued to fumble


    around in the dark and found a light bulb. Unfortunately, it was pointless as the bulb was not connected


    to any power source. Apart from that, there was nothing else. They held hands and sat down to rest.


    “Damien, what should we do now?” Ava was gradually frightened. It was normal for everyone to fear


    being trapped in the dark. Even a tiny sound could be heard clearly in the darkness. Damien hugged


    Ava andforted her, “Don’t worry, we’ll find a way.” Their cell phones and other items were


    confiscated. Hence, there was no way tomunicate with anyone and their yelling could not be heard


    by the outside. Damien was calm as usual, “It’s going to be alright. Once my family and the staff realize


    that I’ve gone missing, they’ll figure out ways to track us down.” “What if they failed?” Ava was scared.


    “Since we’re still alive, I assume the culprits have some ns. It’s just a matter of time until they


    approach my family or confront us directly,” imed Damien.
