A Lifetime With You

Chapter 66

Chapter 66
On the way home, Ava stared out the window silently. Damien was feeling good, and he glanced at Ava from time to time. He smirked despite receiving a cold shoulder from her.
He did not take her home to the Radbury residence, but instead to the suburb where her mother lived.
Ava was not surprised by his decision. Since Miss Adaly was not fond of her, Ava was not expecting Damien to disobey her mother’s decision.
Damien pulled over on the entrance towards her housing area and said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning, and let’s go to the office together.”
“That won’t be necessary. I can take the subway on my own.”
“Fine. Suit yourself.”
He chose not to argue with her and Ava got off immediately without looking back. Damien waved her goodbye, but the latter wasn’t aware of it. Damien sighed while looking at her figure slowly faded away. He then took out his phone from the pocket. There were several missed calls from her mother, and he only answered them now. “Damien, why aren’t you here yet? Selina and her parents have been waiting for you for quite some time now.” “I’ll be right there.”

Damien was late for the gathering held at the private dining of Central Garden Hotel.
Both of his parents as well as the Newton family were waiting for him patiently.
Karen’s face brightened up upon seeing her son and said, “Damien, you are finally here! I know you are busy, but how could you forget about such an important occasion? We have been waiting for your arrival.”
Damien took his seat and immediately apologized, “I’m truly sorry for the delay as I was sending Ava home after work.”
The atmosphere was awkward upon hearing his explanation. Yet, Damien seemed oblivious and poured himself a glass of water. Karen tried to salvage the situation by laughing it off, “Haha, Damien was joking about it! Please don’t mind him too much.” “Well, Ava is indeed my secretary in the office. Didn’t you hear about it, mom?”
Karen froze upon the statement since it was her first time knowing this. She stood up and asked, “What did you say?” Daryl pulled her down immediately and whispered, “Stop overreacting!” The Newtons were taken aback with a pale face. The gathering was planned to discuss the wedding engagement between Damien and Ava, but the
atmosphere was interrupted now with the newly revealed relationship between Damien and Ava. D Mr. Netwon asked, “Damien, I thought both you and Miss Nagel are no longer together, isn’t that right?”
Karen blurted out immediately, “Of course! The divorce was finalized and Ava has left the residence. She is no longer part of the Radbury family anymore.” “Who told you the divorce was signed? I tore up the agreement long ago,” claimed Damien.
“What!” “Mom, it seems like you have been deceiving Mr. Newton and his family.” Karen was panic-stricken, “Damien, I thought we had an agreement. Once you’re engaged to Selina…” “What an absurd thing to say! I am married for more than ten years and I have no intention of getting a divorce anytime soon. Forcing me to marry Selina is a sin, mom.” D
Daryl shouted at his son, “Watch your words, Damien!”
Damien faked a smile, and his intention of not marrying Selina was obvious. The Newton family was prideful, and they would never have agreed to the marriage between Selina and a divorcee. It was all because of the reputation of the Radbury Group. But now, it seemed like the marriage discussion was called off.
Mr. Newton stood up instantly, “Selina, let’s go.”
