A Lifetime With You

Chapter 149

The next day. When Damien woke up, he found himself still lying on the floor of Ava’s room and covered with a quilt. She must have been afraid that he might catch a cold. But the ground was too hard. After lying there for a whole night, he was not only dizzy but also felt sore all over his body. Then, Ava opened the door and came in with a bowl of soup in her hand. “So, you’re finally awake?” She gave him an angry glare. “Did you just let me sleep on the ground last night?” “How can you come into my room without telling me? I can’t carry you up to the bed, so I could only leave you on the ground.” Ava replied and stood her ground. She put the bowl on the bedside table and said, “Here, this is soup to sober you up. Drink it.” “Did you make it?” “No! I would never step into the kitchen!” She immediately said loudly. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Damien pouted and sat down at the side of the bed to drink the soup. When he swallowed the soup, the taste was… hard to describe. Damien’s face immediately turned pale and his stomach churned violently. It was as if he was about to throw up. However, the soup was really refreshing. It was an excellent tool for sobering up him indeed. “Hey, are you all right?” Ava leaned over the door of the bathroom and asked him with concern. He swallowed the urge to vomit and smiled helplessly, “This soup is obviously made by you. It’s so clear that you care about me but still refuse to admit it.” “I… No, I don’t!”

“But, other than you, no one else can make such an awful so

Ava then rolled her eyes at him.

She knew that she was a bad cook, so she used to buy Jean’s food at the baby store instead of cooking it herself. As for when she returned home later on, it had always been her mother who cooked or she ordered takeout instead. Hence, she did not ever cook in the kitchen herself!

After that, Damien went back to the bedside table. He hesitated for a moment and picked up the bowl of soup again. However, he really did not have the guts to drink it all. Ava was shocked. “Hey, don’t drink if it’s gross. Are you trying to torture yourself?” “If you don’t forget to add salt next time, the taste may be better. Anyway, you improved.” He stroked her head in a sign of encouragement. Ava took the bowl from his hand and said, “I will ask the chef to make another one for you later.”

After that, Damien went into the bathroom to wash up. After he finished showering and came out, he found that Ava was ironing a shirt for him.

This was probably the first time that she took the initiative to tidy up his clothes. He didn’t know if he was dreaming, but he felt that Ava was particularly attentive to him today. “Ava, I feel like you’re deliberately trying to please me.” He frowned. “I am not.” She replied stubbornly. Damien went to the sofa and sat down. He held his head up and saw that she had ironed the clothes and put them neatly on the bed for him. “You need a favour from me, don’t you? Tell me then.” She hesitated for a moment. True enough, she wanted to please him. Maybe if he was in a good mood, he would not reveal their relationship like what he said last night.

But she didn’t expect that her intentions were all seen through by him! She had to admit honestly, “I don’t want you to announce and reveal our relationship.” Damien frowned and his expression was showing no joy or anger at this point. “I was drunk yesterday. Did I say something weird to you?”

“You don’t remember anything?”

“Enlighten me, what should I remember?” “Forget it if you don’t remember. Just forget what I said.”

She felt so relieved!

Fortunately, what he said last night was all due to his drunkenness. Otherwise, she would have no other choice but to resign quickly.

When she reached the office, Ava found that the desks in front of her were empty. After asking around, she found out that three female colleagues had been dismissed the day before. D It just so happened that the three of them were the ones who were gossiping about Dempsey in the printing room that day!

“I heard that this was ordered by the CEO himself. He wanted them gone as soon as possible!” Luella told her.

This time, they were all saying that the girls had offended Dempsey and that the CEO was defending .her. The employees were all sure that the two of them had a relationship!

But with a real-life example for them, everyone was naturally cautious when gossiping and dared not to say anything out of line. After hearing Luella’s words, Ava was a little unhappy. What she didn’t know was that the dismissal of the three girls was not because of Dempsey, but because they didn’t know any better and had a conflict with Ava. How could Damien stand them?

However, the dismissal of the three girls led to the promotion of Ava and Luella. Their salary even increased by a thousand dollars! This made her felt a little better.

After returning home after work that day, she excitedly talked about this with Jean and said that she wanted to bring him out for a good meal. Thus, Damien couldn’t help but tease her, “It’s just a little more than a thousand dollars. Is there any need to be so happy?” Ava rolled her eyes at him. “A rich man like you who was born with a golden spoon in your mouth certainly won’t understand the happiness of our hard work!” “If you like it so much, I’ll add a little more for you every day.” Jean shook his head and said, “Daddy, you don’t get it at all!” Damien certainly didn’t understand.

With an extra thousand dollars, they couldn’t even get a decent meal! Why was she so excited to go out with her son?

Ava and her son were chatting happily and he could not even get a word in their conversation. Obviously, Ava did not intend to let him follow along that weekend!

In a blink of an eye, it was weekend already. Ava took her son out early in the morning as they had agreed on before, and Damien was supposed to go with them.

However, Ava said, “My raise was only a thousand dollars more. I can’t afford to treat you too. Jean and I have made an arrangement to have a parent-child event, but only two people are allowed.”

“Let’s add another ticket. I’ll buy it myself!” Damien was just about to follow no matter what, but he got a call from his father at this time. There was a project in the group that his father needed him to report back. Thus, he had no choice but to give up his plans.

Ava took Jean to a famous parent-child park in City A. When they were lining up and finally entered the zoo, they saw a very familiar figure.

Uh, why was Selden here?

Seeing that he was already walking towards her, Ava had no choice but to greet him, “What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to bump into you here!” “It’s not a coincidence. I followed you on purpose,” he said with a smile. “You followed me?” “Damien doesn’t allow me to approach you, so I can only follow you after you leave the house.” At this time, the staff of the zoo shouted with a megaphone for everyone to enter the game field as a family. Without any explanation nor hesitation, Selden took the hands of Jean and led him inside. “What are you doing?”
