A Lifetime With You

Chapter 39

The butler was a bit disconcerted, “Hmm… I think it will be better for you to ask the master yourself.”

“I won’t ask you if he is willing to tell me.” The butler had no choice and said, “It happened when the young master was eight years old…” The conversation was only halfway up when a car sounded in the yard outside the door. The housekeeper shut his mouth up quickly and didn’t continue. Soon, Damien had only walked into the house and stayed in the living room for a while before he immediately asked the housekeeper with an unhappy face, “Did Enrico come by?” “Yes… Master Enrico just came over and lingered here for a while before he left.” “Clean it up.” He instructed coldly. Ava was originally curious about how Damien knew that Enrico had been here. So, she walked towards the sofa and discovered that there was a giant smiley face that had actually been drawn with a finger dipped in coffee on the armrest. It seemed to be like Enrico’s masterpiece. “I’m sorry, he broke in the house all of a sudden, and the servants have failed to stop him even they have tried their best to do so. Please don’t blame them.” She was afraid that these servants would be punished by him, so she quickly defended them. “Why is he here?” “He wants to give a gift for my baby, but don’t worry, I have asked the housekeeper to keep it in the storeroom. I won’t allow the baby to touch it in the future.” Ava didn’t dare to lie and she answered him honestly. “Throw it all away.”

Ava had requested many days of leave from her company because of her pregnancy and some trivial matters.

Considering that her savings was still little, so she didn’t dare to take leave anymore. Therefore, she rushed back to the company to work. However, she did not tell her colleagues about her pregnancy. However, a colleague from the Design Department caught her having morning sickness in the bathroom at noon. “Miss Nagel, are you alright?” “I’m fine… it’s just that my stomach is feeling some uneasiness.” “You have taken so many days off before this, and now that you are still feeling sick. Miss Nagel, are you pregnant?” Her colleague asked humorously but it made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

After all, she didn’t even inform the company about her marriage. Perhaps it was inappropriate to disclose her pregnancy now, wasn’t it? So, she replied, “Probably it is because I have too much stress lately, and it should be fine after resting a while.” “Indeed, we have been assigned with lots of tasks from other big company and our department is really tied up with that. I guess it will be even worse for you guys as Administration Department due to short of manpower, isn’t it?” “Big company?” Ava was taken aback. Their advertising company, which was indeed a small workshop generally did not receive a lot of work, so the work was considered pretty idle.

This time, Ava took a lot of days off before returning to work, and she hadn’t had time to go through all the documents. “Our company is assigned for an advertising project by the Radbury Group, don’t you know that? Hehe, it will be the most lucrative business of the year.” “What? The Radbury Group?” Ava hurriedly got back to her desk and riffled all the emails on the computer. Indeed, there was a project which was just assigned by the Radbury Group three days ago. “For such an advertising project, the Radbury Group should have their own department to complete the task. Why should they outsource it to another company like us? We have no such precedent before.” Ava was feeling strange. “Miss Nagel, how do you even know so well what goes on in a big company like Radbury Group?” “…I’m just making a blind guess, isn’t it the usual practice for all the big companies?” Ava was fear of saying something wrong, so she quickly withheld her words. Damien had never mentioned this to her before actually. Probably he was not even interested in knowing which company and what job was she doing, so it was kind of meaningless to tell her about the project. Because of the advertising project, almost all of the staff needed to work overtime to get the job done.

She went home very late after knocking off from the work that night.

The house was so quiet and no one there including Damien.

It seemed that he didn’t intend to come home tonight.

“Fine then,” she murmured.

After she got pregnant, he was back almost every day and that made Ava wondered if he had changed. But, it was impossible anyway. After all, he always gave her a cold-shoulder even they had married for two years.

Ava was in a state of stupefaction that she didn’t bother much to clean herself up, and she fell asleep on the bed instantly.

At the Radbury Group.

On this silent night, the only light that was still being switched on was the one in the president’s office within the entire building.

He stood in front of the windows and the view of the entire city came into his sight.

Hmm… That woman…

Soon, he started to think of something else.

Maybe he had gone back too frequently recently. “I can’t go on like this,” Damien thought. “What have you got on the things that I asked you to investigate last time?” he asked after the line was connected.

The person on the other end of the phone was sleeping when he answered the phone. But, he was awakened and sobered up by Damien’s voice.

“Don’t worry, president. I have my men keep tracking his whereabouts. Master Enrico didn’t do other things except for hanging out in the nightclubs and gaming.” “Keep tracking. Get me updated on anything suspicious besides whoever he has met and wherever he has gone when he returns there.” “Okay.”

Damien frowned a little.

Hanging out at the nightclubs and playing games were the typical activities that every silver

But he knew his brother very well that he was definitely not an ignorant fool.

Something was going wrong when he acted normal. “President, there is one thing which worth paying attention to,” that person said suddenly.

“What’s that?”

“The thesis of Master Enrico seems to have done a long time ago, but he has not submitted it yet. He seemed to do so intentionally to delay his graduation. I suspect him not returning to the mainland on the pretext of not having graduated.”

“Okay, noted.” Damien hung up the phone. Did he refuse to return home deliberately? Was it because he didn’t want to compete with him or he was plotting something else and fight for other things? D*mn… Enrico Radbury… He clenched his fist tightly.

Enrico had only stayed on the mainland for three days and he took a flight to go abroad on the third day morning

Karen couldn’t hold her sadness and she cried since she was reluctant to part with her youngest

son. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Mum, I will be back in two months later anyway, so what is there to be sad for? It’s shameful, man…”

“Heck you, how can you tease your mum that way?” However, Enrico replied to his mum with a broad grin, “Mum, I’m boarding soon, I guess brother is not coming to send me off. Please ask him not to miss me after I have left.” Karen nodded. Indeed, she had always aware that the strained relationship between her two sons. However, all these were the past. She couldn’t really help much since Damien

was a person with monosyllabic nature. After bidding farewell to Karen, Enrico walked to the boarding gate alone. Damien appeared in front of him after he took a couple of steps towards the gate.

“Enrico, give me that.”
