A Lifetime With You Chapter 91
Chapter 91
“Ava, no matter what, I still want to apologize. My mom is usually very kind, but I don’t know what happened to her today.” She smiled and said, “Well, she’s your mom, of course she’s kind to you!” Seeing that Ava was going to leave, Selden suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Wait, I still have something to tell you.” “Selden, …” Right at this moment, an unpleasant shout suddenly came from behind, “Hey! Let her go!” Ava felt a chill down her spine. The next thing she knew, her arm was dragged from Selden’s grip right into the strong hands of another.
“Damien Radbury, why are you here?”
Damien didn’t even look at Selden. He said to Ava, “I have told you, you are pregnant now and you are not allowed to go anywhere else alone. Why are you always so disobedient?” His tone was gentle, and it seemed that he wasn’t angry. However, Ava had a bad feeling about this as she felt a chill down her back. “Selden is being discharged from the hospital today. I just wanted to…” Her voice instantly sounded less confident.
“Well, did you bring him the present that I asked you to give him?” “Huh?” Seeing that Damien sounded so serious, Ava was suddenly stunned. Since when did he prepare a present? She bought the gift with her own money! This just made it seemed as if Selden owed Damien a favor by accepting that gift. As expected, Selden said, “Ah…so it was you who bought that thing.” “Yeah, Ava is a girl. How could she know what to pick as a gift for a male friend? I don’t know if you will like the electronic gadget I got you though.” “Well then, thank you very much,” Selden said with a stiff smile.
On the way home, Damien drove all the way without saying a single word to Ava. She secretly observed his expression several times, only to find that he put on a poker face the whole time. She couldn’t figure out if he was upset or not. However, he was most probably angry… “Are you mad at me, Damien?” She summoned up her courage to ask him. He didn’t respond and only focused on driving
the car. “If you’re angry, so be it, but don’t give me that look. How did you even know what I have bought for Selden? Did you secretly rummage through my stuff?” He remained silent, which made Ava feel dejected.
She finally couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, “Why did you come all the way to pick me up if you want to ignore me? I want to get out of the car now!” The car stopped on the side of the road immediately. She wanted to open the car door, but it was locked. Damien turned his head around to look at her, and his eyes were obviously filled with anger. She felt extremely wronged. She was bullied by Selden’s mother in the hospital just now, and now she had to put up with him. In fact, she just wanted to politely congratulate Selden for finally getting discharged. Did she really do something wrong? “Damien Radbury, if you think I’ve done something wrong, just say it. You don’t have to be so cold to me.” After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke, “I’m not happy that you came to see him.” “Then I promise you that I will not meet him again without your permission in the future. Okay?” “Not only him, everyone else too.” She could only nod and promise him. She couldn’t help herself but mumble under her breath, “What a petty guy.” “I have always been petty, anyway.” He pinched her chin with one hand and wanted to teach her a lesson, but he couldn’t bear to do it. In the end, he gently hit her head with his finger. “You’ve never bought me a gift before,” he said.
“Pardon?”
Damien turned his head and started the car again, “Oh nothing.” The more he thought about it, the more displeased he became. She never bought him anything, yet she had given Selden countless gifts. She even knew he likes electronic gadgets and bought him one as a gift. She probably didn’t know what Damien liked at all!
The next day, at the Radbury’s Group. When Damien entered his office after the meeting, he found a project document on the table. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
He opened the folder and found an orange-flavored fruit candy.
Next to the candy, there was a note with three words on it, “A little gift.” Such a meticulous effort! It must be his mischievous and lovely wife. No one else dared to do such a thing. He couldn’t help laughing. Their little fight yesterday didn’t seem to be such a big deal anymore. It seemed that he was easily satisfied with a little candy given from her. Dempsey Bradley walked into the office and saw her boss holding a candy in his hand while grinning like a little child.
She was taken aback and hesitated before entering. “Sir, this is the documents from the meeting just now.” “You can leave it here first, I’m heading out for a while.” Damien kept the candy and walked out of the office in a hurry. Ava was not in the secretary’s office: He looked around before finding her in the printing room. At this moment, Ava was printing some documents, but for some unknown reason, the printer wasn’t working. Nothing was being printed on all the papers. Bending her body, she decided to figure out what was wrong with the printer. When she heard footsteps, she thought that it was a colleague from the logistics department who came to help. Without even looking up, she said, “You sure came in no time. Help me to see what’s going on here.”
She stood up and turned around, just to come face to face with Damien. She was surprised. “Oh hey, why are you here?”
Damien glanced at the ink smudged on her hands and frowned, “You don’t even know how to repair these things, what’s the point of figuring it out yourself?” “If I don’t, how would I know that I can’t actually fix it? Moreover, this is a document that you want in a hurry!” She sounded unhappy. Damien pulled her along to wash the ink away. However, it was not easy to clean the ink. After almost using half a bottle of the soap, the ink on her hands only faded a little. “This is very difficult to clean, we need to use soap that washes ink to get rid of it,” Ava said to him. “You know it’s hard to clean it then why did you still touch it?” “I didn’t do it on purpose.” After the staff from the maintenance department brought the special soap, Damien personally cleaned each of her fingers with a wet tissue. Seeing how attentive and considerate he was, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Damien.” She called his name softly. “Why are you staring at me? Do you find me even more attractive after staring for so long?” He said
jokingly. “Where should I look when you are here wiping my hands? Besides, you are my husband, why can’t take a good look at you?” The word ‘husband’ made Damien’s hand freeze on the spot. With a raised brow, he suddenly looked up and pressed his lips against hers. Ava was taken aback and took a step back and her back hit the wall behind.
