A Lifetime With You Chapter 82
Chapter 82
Keenan’s expression soured, “What do you mean?” “As a sign of respect to you as my father-inw, I
nned to ignore everything that happened between Ava and Mrs. Nagel initially. But since you’ve
crossed the line and tried to hit my wife, guess we need to have some talk now.” “Mr. Radbury, this is
about the Nagel family and I have got the rights to teach my daughter. Please refrain yourself from
getting involved in this matter!”
Keenan was firm this time. The Radburys and the Nagels were not on good terms since the kidnapping
incident. With that, Keenan was not concerned about Damien’s status now. “Suddenly, you regard me
as your daughter again when you want to vent your anger;” chuckled Ava. Cecelia was held by a
servant. Although her back was bleeding slightly, it was not a serious injury. Damien and Ava were
interlocking hands, “Last time when Mrs. Nagel barged into the restaurant and interrupted our meals,
I’ve let her go once as respect to Beth. Yet today, she was trying to hurt my wife again and the injury
behind her back is purely self-defense by Ava. I wonder what is the penalty for someone who
committed the crimes more than once?” “You…! Damien, you’d better don’t go too far!” “Look who’s
talking now!” Damien was furious, “Remember this! I’m letting everyone off today for Ava’s sake! There
is no next time!” Then, Damien and Ava left the Nagel residence. Keenan was enraged and he fainted
due to rising blood pressure.
“Sir!” “Someone, call the doctor!” The servants and Cecelia were startled by Keenan’s copse. Ava
wanted to turn around but Damien held her back. “Never look back,” he said to her.
She nodded.
Damien then loosened the grip once they entered the car. Ava massaged her fingertips that were still
covered in Damien’s warmth and wiped off her tears. “Why did youe here today?” She asked. “The
butler told me that you left early this morning and I guessed you came here.” “So you went there to
protect me?” Damien refused to answer and he knocked her forehead slightly, “Are you dumb all this
while?” “I’m not.” “Remember this. Learn to stand up for yourself. Otherwise, people will take
advantage of your kindness.”
Ava giggled and felt warmth in her heart.
“Thank you, Damien.”
Due to the red mark on her neck that was left by Cecelia that day, Ava used a silk scarf to cover it and
headed to the office. Little did she know, the scarf brought trouble to her. That afternoon, Kelly was at
the Radbury Group to sign a brand endorsement contract. Since this was not the first coboration, the
contract details were roughly simr to the previous. Ava made some modifications to the document
and delivered it to Kelly. Everyone included employees of the artist agency and Radbury Group were
waiting for her in the meeting room.
Ava handed the contract and prepared to leave.
Just then Kelly sneered.
Ava was in a daze, and she stopped her tracks.

Everyone was staring at them and they started to whisper at both of them. “You do like to follow me,
right? Last time, it was a handbag and now it’s the scarf. Such a copycat!” Kelly mocked. Suddenly,
Ava realized that both of them were indeed wearing the same type and color of scarf. What an
awkward situation, especially for women! It was an inexpensive scarf, and Ava was not expecting Kelly
to wear it. “Miss Hensley, I think you’ve misunderstood. This scarf was..” Before she could exin,
Kelly pulled her scarf down and flung it into the trash can at a corner of the meeting room.
At that moment, Ava was embarrassed. Ava thought of removing her scarf as well as she left the
meeting room. In the end, she decided to keep them on due to the bruise on her neck.
There was always tension around Ava and Kelly. Thetter was probably still upset about the incident
at the hospital that day. Hence, it was not a surprise for Kelly tosh out at Ava. Moreover… Ava shook
her head to erase the messy thoughts. Her phone rang, and it was Selden. Ava hesitated before
answering the call. “What time do you get off work?” He said cheerfully. “At half-past four. Why?”
“Can you get me my favorite matcha mousse cake after that?” Ava shook her head but relented, and
teased him back, “I see you’re getting pluckier now and even ordering me around, eh? I thought the
doctor ordered you to eat nd foods only, and the time! checked, cakes are not considered nd.”
Selden groaned, “I think the ICU is ready for me if I don’t get to eat cake today.” Avaughed at his joke
and decided to bring Selden a caketer. After all, he was her savior.
At the hospital. Selden was lying on the bed and ying mobile games. He was badly wounded and
now that the anesthetics had worn off, Selden was aching all over. But he acted normally around Ava
so that thetter would not feel guilty about everything. Plus, Selden chose to inject himself with
painkillers to reduce the sore. Selden nced at the clock, and he heard footsteps approaching. It must
be Ava! Yet, his face froze when he saw the visitor. “Why are you here instead of Ava?”
It turned out that the visitor was Damien.
He came with Selden’s favorite matcha mousse cake. “Ava asked me to bring you this.” Damien put the
cake on the bed stand with a nk expression. “Why didn’t shee personally? Was it because of
you?” Selden asked. “She had to work overtime today.” “Liar.” Selden cursed in a low voice. “It’s up to
you whether to believe it or not.” Damien was about to leave before Selden said, “Hey, bring me the
cake, will you? I want to try it now.”
“Can’t you do it yourself?” Damien asked coldly. “The wound hurts too much and I can’t do it myself.”
Damien had no choice but to stay. He helped him up on the bed and adjusted the dining tray.
