A Lifetime With You

Chapter 138

Ava had never thought that her brief conversation with her mother would be heard by her four-year old baby son. Although Jean didn’t understand what happened to his mommy, he knew that his daddy bullied her! Daddy was a bad guy! Jean clenched his little fingers into a fist, and he was already scolding his dad inside his heart. Meanwhile, Ava was awakened by the ringing phone in the middle of the night.

Damien’s voice came through, “I’m outside of your house. Come down.” She had no intentions to talk to him at all. Therefore, she hung up the phone directly. Since she was afraid that he would call again, so she simply switched off the phone. Who did he think he was? How could he be bossing her around? However, there was another phone ringing a few minutes later. Ava got out of her bed and took a long while to search for it. Finally, she found the cell phone in Damien’s coat.

It was still an incoming call from Damien, asking her to go downstairs. She was extremely infuriated that she almost had an urge to trample his coat. Who did he think he was?

She was afraid that he would continue to harass her, so she changed her clothes quickly and went downstairs.

“Here.” She threw the coat on him and turned to leave.

Damien stopped her and said, “Wait.”

“What else do you want to do? Do you want to… do that to me again?” He released his hand and said apologetically, “It was my fault just now. I apologize to you.” “Humph.” Ava snorted coldly. She was not taking it. However, little did she know, she was the only person in the world who could make him apologize. “You’ve harassed me, and I’ve also called the cops on you. We’re even now. Don’t come to me again.” “No, we’re not,” he said in a low voice. “Huh? Do you still plan to take revenge on me?” He

stretched out his hand and was about to grab her wrist. However, he changed his mind because he was afraid that it would make her unhappy. “I did those nasty things to you, but all I get was just sitting in the police station for two hours. If this is considered fair for both parties, wouldn’t you be at a loss?” “What do you mean?” Ava was stunned. “I’m making three promises to you. That is, regardless of location and timing, I’ll make it happen to you no matter what you wish for.”

He made a sincere and hearty promise. Ava thought that she wouldn’t be able to stand up for herself anymore. However, she didn’t expect that he would actually say this.

She immediately asked, “Are you serious?” “Of course, I’ll keep my promise.” “Great, the first thing I want you to do is to pick the stars from the sky and give them to me.” Ava pointed to the sky. Her first request was like herding cats. She was probably implying that it was impossible for her to forgive him. However, Damien pondered over this question seriously and replied, “It may take a little time. You’ll have to wait for a moment.”

“Wait… wait for what?”

“Alright, tell me your second request.” Ava thought hurriedly and said, “Second, give me the entire Radbury Group. Third, disappear from my sight immediately. Don’t let me see you again!” Damien smirked and said, “The second one is easy, but the third one is non-viable.” “Humph, yet you still say that you’d keep your promise! You can’t fulfill your promise, can’t you? Liar!” Ava immediately turned to leave. Upon seeing this, he quickly grabbed her by the wrist. “If I disappear now, how can I fulfill my first and second promise?” “I don’t care, you’re just a liar! You b*stard! Moron! You’re a psycho!” She pushed him away forcefully. She was very disgusted and repelled by any physical interaction with him. As such, she cursed at him fiercely. Just then, a large bowl of water tumbled out of the air and poured on Damien’s body. The accident happened so suddenly that Damien and Ava didn’t have the time to react at all. If it weren’t for Ava who pushed him away just now, she would have been soaked by the water too.

Damien raised his head and saw a flickering light on one of the balconies.

It was Ava’s balcony…

Then, a plastic basin fell from the balcony and crashed into Damien’s dampened head again.

Ava recognized it. It was the basin from her house.

When’she returned home, there was no one on the balcony or in the living room. However, there were traces of wet footprints on the balcony, all the way through the living room and towards the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Jean was sleeping on the bed and wrapped tightly in a blanket. She went over and patted him, “Alright, stop pretending already.” Eventually, Jean gradually opened his eyes and pretended to have just woken up, “Mommy, what’s wrong?” “Did you hear everything Grandma, and I said in the living room just now?”

He nodded.

He was afraid that she would be sad, so he quickly got out of the bed and crept up into her arms.

“Mommy, no one is allowed to bully you! If daddy bullies you, I’ll never talk to him ever again!” Jean clenched his little fists, looking all indignant and determined. It warmed Ava’s heart. Her son really cared for her. She stroked his head and said with a smile, “So, you’re the one who splashed water on him?” “Is daddy really mad about it?” Ava snorted softly, “What right does he have to be angry?” “Mommy, don’t be sad. Daddy is a bad person. I will grow up faster and protect you!” “Alright.”

Touched, she held his head gently and planted a kiss on his forehead.

The next day, Ava did not go to the company. Days quickly passed by… She had been absent for the entire week. Perhaps she made the wrong decision to work at the Radbury Group. Fortunately, she had

completed the task Enrico asked for. Now, there seemed to be no reason for her to show up at the company anymore. And Damien never came and looked for her again. She would drop her son off at school every day and buy some groceries on the way home. Then, she would sit on the sofa and watch soap operas with her mother for the rest of the day. When it was time for Jean to come home, she would pick him up from school again. In such a repetitive daily life, it was impossible for her to have any interaction with Damien. They were totally two people who weren’t related at all, even their path and direction in life were poles apart. Sometimes, Ava couldn’t help but wonder about their first encounter. How did they meet and how did they end up together? Perhaps she was the one who had forced him to do so. Just like that, the relationship between her and Damien became inexistent. Soon, she began to search for all kinds of recruitment information on the Internet and sent her resume to different companies. However, all her efforts were to no avail. During the weekend, she suddenly received a call from Luella. “Miss Nagel, how are you feeling now?” Ava was stunned, “Me? Do you mean my health?” “Yeah, the HR department said that you are ill and asked for a week’s leave. I even decided to visit you with several colleagues over the weekend. What happened to you?”
