A Lifetime With You

Chapter 160

“Oh? Then… are you hurt?” “Of course not! Although Grandma doesn’t want me to see you, she still treats me very well.” Ava took a look at her son. Fortunately, Jean looked fine and he seemed to have even gained some weight! Karen might not like her, but at least she still treated her only grandson well.

Then, Ava let out a sigh of relief. Ava grabbed her son’s little hands and started asking him questions about the past few days. Since Jean hadn’t seen his mother for many days, he had a lot to tell her. Both of them talked from noon until dinnertime without stopping. Even at night when Jean had already gone to bed, Ava still didn’t want to leave him. Jean held her arm as he fell asleep and his chubby face looked so adorable. She sat on the bed and looked at her son’s face, and her heart was filled with warmth. “Jean, mommy just wishes to always be by your side.” Ava mumbled. Meanwhile, Jean slept very comfortably. He turned over and faced the wall and unconsciously

started biting his fingers. She took out his dirty fingers from his mouth, but in a short while, he gnawed at it again. This was probably a bad habit that all children had to go through. Even if her son was smarter than others, it seemed to be inevitable. Ava sighed slightly and tucked him in. Then, she walked out of the room. The lights in the study room were still on in the dead of night. She hesitated for a moment before walking to the door.

Meanwhile, Damien was checking at some documents. He raised his head and saw Ava entering the room. Then, he turned his eyes back to the documents without giving her any response.

She stood beside him for a while before he finally put aside his work. “What’s the matter?” His tone was lazy and emotionless. “Damien, thank you.”

“For what?” “Thank you for everything you’ve done.” She tried her best to make her voice sound as soft as possible, hoping that it would make her seem gentle.

However, the word ‘gentle’ was probably not suitable for her as she kind of feeling weird behaving that way.

Damien’s face twitched slightly. Nobody knew if he was trying to contain his laughter or if he was still angry. Nevertheless, he remained emotionless. She took a step closer and said, “Damien, let’s make up.”

There was a bit of deliberate flattery, as well as a bit of awkwardness in her tone. Damien snorted and said, “Don’t you think it’s a little too late for that?”

“Nope.”

She suddenly squatted down and put her hands around his thighs.

Hence, Damien’s body shook slightly upon her touch.

He pinched her chin and her eyes were glossed over with tears. Furthermore, her shyness had possibly caused her to blush red.

This face of hers was no different from the face he remembered many years ago.

It was this face of hers that made him realize that he was a sucker for beauties.

However, there was only one person who captivated him with her beauty. He pushed her head down and refused to look at her face.

“Are you trying to flatter me?” His tone was still cold and calm. Ava tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Uhm… Sort of. I don’t want to fight with you anymore. It’s meaningless.” “Well, I have conditions.” “What are they?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I get to move back into the master bedroom.”

The alarm clock must have rung countless times the next morning, yet Ava still found it difficult to wake up.

Her entire body’s muscles were sore and she felt uncomfortable all over! It took her a lot of effort to reach out to her phone and turn off the alarm. Then, her gaze fell on a pair of dark eyes. “Can I skip work today?” Damien chuckled and pulled her into his arms again. Ava felt that her brain was still enveloped in white noise. Last night’s steamy session still lingered in her mind, yet he had already started arousing her again. “Please, I’m begging you…” All her begging and struggles for mercy were lost in his endless kisses. In short, she failed to get out of bed. Ava didn’t get enough sleep until three o’clock in the afternoon. Then, she finally made her way out of the room lazily. If she hadn’t been so hungry, she would still be able to sleep for another ten hours. Damien had already left home long ago. Honestly, she really did not understand why he was still so energetic.

Sitting at the table, Ava yawned sleepily.

“Sir just called and said that he would deal with the aftermath of Mr. Hemsworth’s matter. I think that he won’t be able to come back early this evening. Please have a good rest.” The butler told her.

Ava was relieved to hear that. It would be best if he didn’t come back for the next few days. Otherwise, she would literally die of exertion.

Over at the Radbury Group. Damien sneezed twice while he was working. Was somebody talking about him behind his back? Then, Dempsey knocked on the door. “Sir, the new representative has arrived.” He nodded and immediately got up to go to the meeting room. After Mr. Hemsworth was taken to the police station, Damien successfully found out that he had harassed different female employees many times at his company. After the matter was ascertained, going to prison was inevitable for him. Furthermore, the partnering company had already sent a new representative so quickly. It seemed that they had no intention of protecting Mr. Hemsworth at all.. Damien walked into the conference room and

everyone was already there. Dempsey introduced, “Sir, this is the new representative of the pharmaceutical company.” A man stood up from the chair in the conference room and stretched out his hand to Damien with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Radbury. I’m Selden Oakley, the new representative.”

So, it was Selden!

Damien let out a soft chuckle. It made sense. 30% of the company’s shares belonged to the Oakley Corporation, so it was natural for the Oakleys to come in as a representative. However, Selden was the second son of the Oakley Family. He had never handled the family’s company affairs as he was a doctor. It was unexpected for him to change his mind. “Mr. Radbury, I hope we can have a wonderful partnership.” Selden’s stretched-out hand was still there while he was smiling politely. Damien had to shake his hand and he said. “Sure, I’m looking forward to this partnership.”

After the meeting, Damien saw Selden in a completely different light.

He had always thought that this guy was just a young man who studied medicine and did not have any business acumen. Unexpectedly, he was already quite good at it despite this was the first time he took over the company’s affairs.

Even though Damien had been in the business industry for many years, he might not be able to take advantage of Selden.

“I didn’t know that you were so eloquent,” Damien said casually after the meeting.

“There are many things about me that you don’t know.” Selden replied coldly.

Selden was officially declaring competition with Damien.

However, Damien may not even consider him a threat at all.
