A Lifetime With You

A Lifetime With You Chapter 20

Chapter 20

“What are you doing?” She was taken aback by the gloomy look in his eyes.

These eyes were as cold as the arctic ocean, and at the same time, flames of fury were dancing inside them. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Why was he angry for no reason again? Even though Ava had gotten used to his moodiness after being married to him for two years, she had never once understood the reasons behind his anger.

The corners of Damien’s mouth were twitching, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger.

He continued grasping her wrist for a minute… And then two minutes… Finally, he let go of her.

“I will fetch you home after you get off work at night,” he said.

“What?”

“You’re not allowed to see anyone before I come.” Damien’s words came out of nowhere, and after he finished speaking, he chased her out of the car. Ava was completely dumbfounded. Having Damien send her to and pick her up from work was something she had never even dared to dream about before this. But he obviously looked extremely furious just now. In that case, why did he take the trouble to send her to work? Ava walked from the crossroad to the building where her company was located. “Good morning, Miss Nagel.”

“Good morning.” She plastered a smile over her face and greeted her colleagues one by one. Ava was the supervisor of the administrative department of Westrise Advertising. It was a small company with less than twenty employees, and together with Ava, there were only three people in the administrative department. It was nothing compared to Damien’s Radbury Group. Ava walked to her work desk. To

her surprise, there was a bouquet of flowers on the table. “Who put this here?” “An employee of a florist shop sent it here. He said that someone bought these flowers as a gesture of apology to you,” her colleague said, “Miss Nagel, could it be that you’re dating someone?”

Ava smiled awkwardly.

No one in the company knew that she was marrie

y knew that she was married, let alone to the president of the renowned Radbury Group. Damien was the one who wanted their marriage to be a secret. He probably found it embarrassing to be married to a mistress’ daughter. It was naturally impossible that these flowers were from him.

She looked carefully at the bouquet and saw that a small card was tucked among the flowers. There was only one sentence on it

“Treat me to dinner tonight.”

Ava couldn’t help feeling a headache. Even though there was no proof, it was a no-brainer that these flowers were from Selden.

Why did he have to make such an exaggerated gesture?

“If Damien were to find out about this… Ava thought before she chuckled self-depreciatingly. So what if he found out? He had Beth now, so he probably couldn’t care less about what she was doing out here.

At Radbury Group’s headquarters.

After Damien walked into his office, he finally unclenched his fists.

There were deep nail marks on his palms.

In the car just now, he wanted to question her about the photograph. But he couldn’t utter a word.

What was he afraid of? Was he afraid of getting a definite answer?

Heh. That shameless woman…

Damien thought about how he should fetch Ava to and from work every single day from now onwards so that she wouldn’t have the chance to meet other men.

“Mr. Radbury?” The secretary said when she saw that Damien was in a trance.

Damien came to his senses and said coldly, “Go ahead.” “These are some information about the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow. The chairman said that he will be in attendance.”

Damien nodded, took the folder, and glanced casually through the documents.

His mind was a mess, and he wasn’t in the mood to look at these documents.

Ever since Damien took over Radbury Group, his father rarely participated in matters concerning the company. Damien reckoned that his father had something important to announce now that he was attending the shareholders’ meeting all of a sudden.

Damien could sense that something was about to happen, but he couldn’t tell what was on his father’s mind. “Dempsey, cancel all my schedules this afternoon. I need to ask my father about the shareholders’ meeting.”

“Got it.”

When it was time for Ava to get off work.

Since Ava knew that Selden would look for her for dinner, she got off work five minutes early and waited for Selden in front of the office building.

“Hey, you’re actually waiting for me at the door. Are you that eager to see me?” As expected, Selden showed up on time. She glared at him. “I was just worried that you would come to my office. That would be really

embarrassing!” Seeing that none of her colleagues had come out of the office building, Ava dragged Selden to a corner.

“Is it that embarrassing to have a friend like me? You don’t even want your colleague to see me.” Selden chuckled,

“I don’t want them to misunderstand things! You know what kind of person you are, never thinking before you speak. Also, Selden, there is something I must tell you. I am already married. Although we are friends, we must keep our distance. Don’t always look for me for no reason.” Selden frowned in dissatisfaction. “You were the one who agreed to treat me for three meals. Now, you’re making it sound like I’m pestering you.” “I had no choice…”

Ava couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated. Why did she have a friend like this? Not only did Selden always say inappropriate stuff, but he was always flirting with women, including his friends. She really didn’t know what to do about him. Selden smiled, grabbed her arm, and dragged her out of the corner. “Well, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Hurry up and treat me to a good meal!” “No, today…”

Ava got off work early to tell Selden that she couldn’t have dinner with him. After all, Damien had said in the morning that he would fetch her home. However, after thinking about it, she found herself ridiculous.

Why would he pick her up from work? He probably just said it casually. “Why are you acting like you’re committing a crime? Is Damien Radbury that strict on you?” “No, I…” Before Ava could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Then, a man’s somber voice rang out. “Let go of her.” Ava

and Selden turned around and saw that Damien was standing not far away from them with a car parked behind him. He actually came. Ava quickly broke away from Selden’s grip and ran towards Damien. 2 “Damien, Selden and I are just…”

He obviously didn’t want to listen to her explanation. He grabbed her arm and shoved her into the car. Selden hurried over, but the car had already sped away. In the car, Damien’s expression was extremely dark. “Damien, he and I are just friends. And I was about to say no to him anyway…” Ava tried her best to explain things, but she then realized that there was no point. She wasn’t cheating on Damien with Selden to begin with.

“How shameless,” Damien said coldly.

He then parked the car by the roadside all of a sudden and dragged Ava towards him by the hair.

Their bodies were pressed together. Ava was about to let out a low cry when Damien kissed her and bit her lips.

“What… What are you doing…”

Ava’s lips were bleeding, and she could taste metal in her mouth. Damien tore off her clothes mercilessly

He reclined the car seat and pinned Ava down. He then forcefully pried open Ava’s legs with his knees.

Damien’s movements were brutal and forceful as he thrust himself into her repeatedly. She was in so much pain that she felt like she was about to pass out. “Where did he touch you? Here, or here?” 5 Every time Damien looked at a spot on her body, he pinched it so hard that her skin bruised. Without giving her any chance to breathe, he squeezed her chin and kissed her in a fiery manner.
