A Lifetime With You

A Lifetime With You Chapter 154

Chapter 154

The more Ava resisted, the more furious he became. Every cell in his body was urging him to devour her, and he was burning for her.

“What’s so great about Selden Oakley? Which part of him is in any way better than me?” He pressed her shoulder into the bed and asked with gritted teeth.

Indeed, it was because of Selden that he was so mad.

Ava sneered and said, “He will never treat me like you are now.” His violent actions came to a halt after hearing her words. The corners of her eyes were still brimming with tears from the pain. With a forced smile, she said, “Four years ago, when I lost my memories, he said that he was my husband. At that time, I believed everything he said and even thought that I loved him very much.” “Enough!” Damien’s face darkened. He didn’t want to hear the details at all. However, Ava continued, “I thought that he loved me deeply, so I must love him back. But even so, he never forced me to do anything. Damien, you couldn’t even be compared with him based on this point alone.” This was probably the first and only time that Damien had heard someone criticize him in his thirty years of life. Then, he finally let go of Ava. He reached out and tried to help her remove the messy hair that was stuck to her face. Alas, she turned her head away stiffly and wrapped herself up in the blanket.

She turned her back on him and clearly didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Damien stood in a daze for a while before he finally turned around to leave. He didn’t know that at this moment, Ava had tears covering her face under the blanket.

In the bar.

Damien sat at the counter as he gulped glasses of wine down his throat. Suddenly, he saw a very familiar face.

Dempsey was walking out from a private room while a young man chased after her and grabbed her hand. He seemed to be begging for something and she shrugged him off. However, the man didn’t give up, and he wanted to hug her tightly. Although Dempsey looked strong, she was a woman after all, and the man trapped her. “Let go of her.” Damien’s voice sounded stiff from behind the two of them. “Who are you?” The young man asked unsteadily, as if he had already drunk too much at this point. “Boss, what are you doing here?” Dempsey was very surprised. She looked pale, and obviously she was not in a good mood. It was a little embarrassing for her to bump into her boss in such a situation. Then, she immediately turned her face away.

Obviously, the man did not know who Damien was and scoffed, “I’m warning you, don’t stick your nose into our business. Or else!”

Then, Then Damien asked Dempsey, “Who is this?’ Before she could answer, the man immediately said, “I’m her boyfriend! Who the hell are you? Is she your sugar mommy or something?” Dempsey glared at him. “Shut the f*ck up! F*ck off!” Damien looked into the open door of the private room and saw two drunken ladies sitting inside with their outfits all messed up. He immediately understood what had happened and sneered, “He is your ex-boyfriend now.”

Under the influence of alcohol, the man had a bad temper. He picked up a beer bottle beside him and hurled it at Damien.

Dempsey cried out in shock. However, Damien was able to catch the bottle in time and gave the man a hard kick.

The man got up and tried to fight again, but after receiving multiple punches and kicks from Damien; he groaned in pain and remained collapsed on the floor. Dempsey’s ex-boyfriend was unlucky today as he

ran into Damien just when he was in a really bad mood. Honestly, he should thank God that he wasn’t beaten to death by Damien.

After beating him up, Damien shook his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Dempsey hurried behind him and said, “Sir, um… Thank you.” After that, Damien returned to his seat and handed her an empty glass, “Have a few drinks with me then?” “… Okay.” He had known Dempsey for a long time. Apart from business, they had never eaten or had a drink together. At first, Dempsey was a little reserved. But after a few drinks, she began to open up and spoke more. 2

Damien watched as she drank glass after glass of wine and he suddenly let out a chuckle. She was stunned and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I didn’t expect you to be the type who drinks to get rid of your feelings. It’s eye-opening indeed.” Dempsey put on a bitter smile. “You’re here to drown your sorrows in alcohol too, aren’t you? You saved a foolish girl by the way.” “He’s not worth your sadness.” “What about Ms. Nagel then?” Damien was surprised for a moment, then he picked up his glass and drank it all.

Dempsey said, “You’ve been having a hard time with her. The rest of them might not see it, but I do! Boss, you shouldn’t be so hard on her, you know? She’s lost all her memories.”

“How am I supposed to be more considerate when she’s the one who is acting like I’m some sort of plague that she needs to avoid?” D

Dempsey smiled faintly and said, “Roses have thorns and so do humans. But the ones who embrace us are usually the people who don’t care about being hurt by the spikes that we put up.” 2

For the first time, Damien noticed that his secretary was very capable of being like an elder sister too.

However, it was always those not involved in the matter that could clearly see what was going on. She shook the glass gracefully and said softly, “Love is everywhere, but… It’s complicated indeed.” No matter how calm and composed Dempsey usually was, it was hard for even her to remain calm after drinking so much alcohol. She was the type of woman who was able to break up with her own boyfriend moments after catching him red-handed cheating on her. “I’ve known him for nine years… nine freaking years! He’s one year younger than me and his salary is not as high as mine. When we’re together, I’m like a mother to him! I’ve never done anything wrong to him!” Damien rubbed his temples as he felt a headache coming on. He had never seen Dempsey behaving this way. “He wasn’t like this in the past when we were still studying. He was very kind to me…But now, he thinks that I don’t have time for him! I give all my free time after work to him and he still has the audacity to judge me!” “He may not dislike you, per se. It’s just that a man like him needs an excuse to fool around.” Damien comforted her. However, his comforting words didn’t work. “Nine years! He wasted nine years of my youth! I don’t care what the people in the company say about me, but he… How could he do this to me?” After Damien led her out of the bar, she remained in her drunken stupor. The more he watched her, the more distressed he got. “Dempsey, wake up. Tell me your address.” However, Dempsey couldn’t hear him at all! She was heartbroken and couldn’t think of anything else. She sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Damien on the other hand watched in embarrassment.
