A Lifetime With You

Chapter 41

“Are you alright?” Selden stood up and took a piece of tissue instantly as he wanted to clean the stain on her skirt. She took the tissue from him and tried to clean it herself, “It’s okay. Luckily I am wearing a dark skirt today.” However, the skirt was still wet. So, Selden took off his coat and placed it on her lap without hesitation. His fingers inevitably touched her thigh, and his fingertips trembled as he became a bit nervous.

Ava quickly moved aside. She intended to refuse his help initially, but he got back his senses and smiled, “Are you purposely keeping a distance from me? I will be very sad if that’s the case.” Suddenly, Kelly opened the door and walked in. “What’s wrong?”

She was a bit startled when she saw Selden squatted in front of Ava while his jacket was placed on Ava’s lap.

Ava quickly stood up and explained, “Miss Hensley, please don’t get me wrong. I accidentally spilled the juice and my skirt got stained.” “Oh, I see.” Kelly was a little displeased when she saw Ava clutching on Selden’s shirt, but she didn’t say much since Ava’s skirt was indeed soiled. None of them realized that when Kelly opened the door just now, there was a flashing flight flashed through… And, there was a cunning smile behind that flash.

The next day.

When Ava woke up in the morning, she picked up her phone and browsed the news as usual. It had never crossed her mind that her picture would be on the headlines! “Kelly’s rich boyfriend was caught cheating! Breaking news exclusively from XX Entertainment.” There was a picture of Selden and her in the restaurant under the headlines. It happened to be the scene where her skirt got wet and Selden took off his clothes. Selden squatted in front of her, and the paparazzi had a chance to take the photos when Kelly pushed open the door to enter. Due to the angle, it looked like she was having aNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

rendezvous with Selden, and they were caught by Kelly. How could this be? What the heck was this? Her phone rang and it was a call from Selden.

“Ava, have you read the news?”

“Yes, what’s that?”

“I am asking someone to investigate the details and your identity is still undisclosed. So, for the time being, try to stay home for these two days.”

The background noise from Selden’s end of the line was deafening and it sounded like the reporters had crowded the entrance of his house.

After that, he hung up in a hurry. Her throat tightened in fear and she had no idea what to do now. In fact, the picture was deliberately taken from that angle when both of them were in the private room, and their faces looked blurred from that angle.

The news only mentioned Kelly and Selden, and Ava’s identity wasn’t revealed. After all, she was not that famous in comparison with Kelly. However, those who were close to her could identify her easily at the first glance. She opened the bedroom door and wanted to go out, but Damien was already standing in front of her as he stared her coldly. “You… why are you here?” “Shouldn’t you give an explanation to me regarding this news?” His lips were curled up in a sneer while he confronted her with his phone. He had recognized her certainly. But this time, she was really wronged. “Believe it or not, I’m innocent.” She replied. Anyway, since she couldn’t find a way to defend herself, she might as well try to stand up to him. “Are you that impatient? You’re carrying my baby, but you went on a date with another guy in the public.” “Since when did I do something like that? Kelly was there too yesterday!” His cold, but obviously incredulous look made her mutter, ” You won’t believe me anyway.” He took a step closer to her, “Ava, you’d better keep your current status in mind.” “What, are you pleading with me to acknowledge my identity?” She sneered. Obviously, the person who refused to acknowledge her was

Damian, but he was still adamant about her loyalty to him, what about him? So many women around– Ava couldn’t help being angry when she thought of this. The phone rang again. It was the text message from Selden again. He informed her that he would handle this matter properly without a single slight effect on affecting her, and he asked her not to worry as he would not allow anything to harm her. However, Damien snatched her phone over before she could finish reading the text message. “Give it back to me!” Ava was about to snatch it back immediately, but he easily pressed her on the door frame with one hand and she couldn’t touch her mobile phone even if she jumped.

After Damien read the text message, his face became even more gloomy. Won’t let anything hurt her again… What rights did Selden have to say that? Damien stifled his anger and sneered, “Even if you wanted to cheat on me, how could you have such bad taste? Ava, do you enjoy being a mistress so much ?” “Selden is way better than you,” She gritted her teeth. At least Selden wouldn’t bring his so- called “fiancee” to meet his current wife before he even signed the divorce papers. This sentence infuriated Damien. He grabbed Ava’s chin, and his gaze was filled with terrifying rage. “Let me go…” He had her lower jaw in a death grip. Damien had exerted so much force that she almost felt as if her bones would be crushed. Suddenly, Selden sent a second text message Damien opened it and read it. “Kelly is also very angry. She intends to issue a statement to clarify that she was there yesterday. Don’t worry, baseless slander like this will not leave a serious effect.” He threw the phone aside and pressed against Ava’s body hard before he said coldly: “From today, you don’t want to have any contact with him.” B “You have no right to control my friendships, Damien!” He threw her on the bed like a sandbag and immediately close the door. Then, she rushed over and tried to open the door, only to find that he had already locked it outside. “Keep an eye on her, she is not allowed to step out of this room.” Ava heard Damien instructing his servants outside. “Damien, you b*stard!” She hit the door fiercely, and she could hear Damien’s footsteps from outside as he walked downstairs He snatched her phone away and stripped her of her freedom as well. Ava was completely helpless as she was under house arrest. She walked to the balcony and saw Damien as he walked out of the house and drove away. She didn’t know what was going on outside now…
