A Lifetime With You Chapter 161


    Chapter 161


    Ever since Ava and Damien made up, he treated her extremely well. So well, in fact, that he’d spared


    no detail! Not only did he send her to and from work every day, but he also knew that she would be


    unwilling to have lunch with him at work. Hence, he asked the cooks at home to make iunch and


    pretended to send it to her through a delivery service. Even the colleagues in the office were surprised.


    “Ava, which restaurant do you order from? It looks so delicious! Is it expensive?” Ava felt very


    embarrassed. Her colleagues all ate in thepany’s canteen. It was unbing for her to eat


    takeout alone.


    After eating like this for two days, she decided to go back to the canteen.


    At noon, she bought her lunch and sat down in the cafeteria. Before she started to eat, she heard a cry


    of surprise from the door. Lue was the kind of person who would easily get excited whenever


    something happened, so she quickly tiptoed to see what was happening. Then, she saw the CEO


    coming in! This was the staff canteen, and the CEO had never been here before! Even if there was an


    inspection, he wouldn’t be in the canteen. Under everyone’s surprised gaze, Damien walked to the


    counter and got himself some lunch. Then, he walked towards Ava with a te in his hand. Ava’s heart


    was pounding like crazy at this point. Although Damien had mentioned to her yesterday that he wanted


    to publicly reveal their rtionship at work, she rejected him vehemently! She didn’t want to lose her


    friends and colleagues at work after her rtionship was revealed. He had promised herst night, so


    what was he doing now? The canteen was usually very crowded during lunch time. Was he here to


    announce their rtionship? He was simply out of his mind! Ava panicked. She was so nervous that


    she wished she could turn invisible. Judging by the footsteps, he was already behind her… Ava took a


    deep breath and finally looked up, ready to talk to him. “Damien…”


    However, Damien didn’t even stop for a second. He went straight to sit a few tables away from her and


    started eating.


    From the very start, he did not even look at anyone. Due to Damien’s sudden arrival, the noisy canteen


    suddenly became silent. “Hey, Ava, what’s going on?” Lue discreetly pulled at Ava’s sleeve.


    “How would i know?” Ava replied.


    “Why are you…” Lue was about to say something, but then she held back.


    There were four colleagues sitting opposite them, so they should definitely not talk about it here.


    Ava had gone to Damien when Lue was dismissed and she told him about what had happened with


    Mr. Hemsworth and Damien was able to catch him in time. Because of this, Lue had been pestering


    Ava recently to exin to her what was going on between her and Damien. Fortunately, although


    Lue liked gossiping, she kept her mouth shut when it came to this issue. Despite knowing such a


    huge secret, she never said a word to anyone else. Ava took out her mobile phone and sent a


    message to Damien. “What are you doing?”


    When he saw the phone vibrate, he took a look at it and immediately replied, “You’d rather eat the food


    in the cafeteria than the food prepared at home. I want to try how delicious it is.”

    Gosh, he must be bored out of his mind!


    A minuteter, Damien sent another message, “The taste is kind of meh.” Ava secretly looked up at


    him and found that he was frowning at the te as if the food was difficult for him to swallow.


    Hence, she could not helpughing. “Why are you so happy? You’ve been beaming for the past two


    days.” Her colleague asked.


    Ava quickly waved her hand. “Uh… it’s nothing.” Her colleagues were curious, and they immediately


    asked, “Hey, Ava, are you in love?”


    “What are you talking about? How could that be? Hahaha…” Ava shook her head and denied it in a


    hurry. Her colleague encouraged her and said, “It’s not easy for a single mother like you to find a


    boyfriend. You have to be make sure you hold on to him!” Because the cafeteria was kind of quiet,


    people seated at the neighboring tables all heard what Ava’s colleague said. Plus, Damien seemed to


    have heard it as well. His body remained stiff and rigid like a statue. The next day when Ava and the


    others went to the canteen for lunch, they found that they could get more dishes for the same price.


    “I heard that the CEO has raised the budget for the employee meals. He stipted that no less than


    four dishes and one kind of soup were allowed in the future!”


    Ava listened to her colleagues’ muttering and she couldn’t help but find it funny.


    When she went homest night, she spoke to him about the food. Damien threatened that if she didn’t


    eat with him, he would never let the canteen season the food ever again!


    Nevertheless, she said that she would rather eat bread than eat with him. Still, he improved all of their


    lunches nheless.


    Honestly, the food that day was really good.


    After lunch, she walked from the canteen to the office building. At the entrance of the elevator, she ran


    into Selden. “Selden? What are you doing here?” She was very surprised.


    “Didn’t Damien tell you? I’m in charge of the project that Mr. Hemsworth used to handle now.” Damien


    certainly did not tell her about this. “It seems that we will meet each other often in the future.”


    “Oh, what a coincidence.”


    At this time, Selden had already taken a step toward her. “You haven’t finished your lunch break yet,


    have you? Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?” Selden did not give her the chance to


    refuse at all. Then, he smiled slyly and said, “I’ve asked around. You’re off until 1:30 in the afternoon.


    It’s only 12:30 now, so it’s still early.” “… Okay.” Ava had no choice but to agree. There were few people


    in the cafe downstairs, and they chose a table near the window to sit down. The sunlight warmly shone


    on her hair, and Selden stared at her in a daze. “You probably don’t remember, but when I first saw


    you, you were sitting by the window in the ssroom with your hair down while focused on reading a


    book.” “When did we meet for the first time?” “It was a long… long time ago.”


    “Selden, I don’t remember the past. Let’s not talk about it.” He let out augh and said, “You don’t want


    to hear about our past, but what about you and Damien’s past? Don’t you want to know about it?” “Is


    the past that important? I don’t have the memories of it anymore, so I have to look towards the future


    and just live my life.” “The past that means nothing to you means everything to me.” Ava remained


    silent. To her, the past was the past and it wasn’t important. She had already lost all her memories, so


    what could she possibly do about it? Thus, Ava avoided Selden’s gaze and drank her coffee. The


    coffee was bitter and hot. She took a small sip and slowly swallowed it. The bitter taste slid down her


    throat, but there was a surprisingly sweet after-taste.
