A Lifetime With You

Chapter 24

“Didn’t you know? Damien’s mother arranged for him to go on a blind date with a woman. They met yesterday and got along really well!” Beth’s tone was rather gloating. She no longer had a chance with Damien. After Karen found out the truth in the hospital that day, she couldn’t care less about Beth.

Beth was indignant, so she continued finding out information about the Radbury family. Ava sneered. She hadn’t even signed the divorce agreement, and the members of the Radbury family were already in a rush to send another woman into Damien’s embrace. They couldn’t even wait another day. It seemed that the text message she saw yesterday was from that woman. “Ava, that woman is the eldest daughter of the Newton family, Selina Newton. Not even I can compare to her when it comes to looks and family background. An illegitimate daughter like you is nothing compared to her,” Beth said with a smile. “Selina Newton,” Ava thought. “Miss Newton is a lady from a respectable family. If you have a tiny bit of common sense left, you should quickly divorce Damien voluntarily so that you wouldn’t embarrass yourself and our family!” Beth’s words were extremely sarcastic, and her laughter was like a slap on Ava’s face. Ava said nothing and bit her lower lip.

Selina Newton. This name sounded a little familiar. Ava thought about it for a long time and finally remembered that she had met Selina once during Radbury Group’s anniversary banquet. Selina was a breathtakingly beautiful woman, and she was the center of attention wherever she went.

Ava heard that Selina’s father was a leading entrepreneur in the internet industry, while her mother was a well-known fluid mechanics expert in the country who had won numerous awards. Her family background was enough to rival that of Damien’s. To Karen, Selina was probably the perfect future daughter-in-law. “Dad, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave first.” Ava hurriedly left the Nagel family’s residence. As she walked out of the door, Beth’s mocking voice rang out. “Heh, does she really think that she stands a chance against Selina Newton?”

At Radbury family’s manor. Damien had come to see his father. However, his father wasn’t around. Instead, Selina was sitting alone in the living room. “Uncle and auntie went out because they had something urgent to attend to. They asked me to wait here for the time being,” Selina said.

They had officially met yesterday. At first, Damien thought that his father had arranged for him to discuss business deals with members of the Newton family. When he saw that the other party was a young woman, he immediately understood what was going on. As Radbury Group and the Newton family cooperated a lot, he didn’t embarrass Selina by walking away from the blind date. He didn’t expect to see Selina again today. “Since they are not here, I will come back again tonight. Damien nodded politely and was about to leave. “Hey, wait a moment.” Selina rose and stood in his way. “What’s the matter, Miss Newton?”

“I know that it’s quite awkward that both our parents had arranged for us to meet. I feel very

embarrassed too. But if you leave just like this, it would be even more embarrassing for me. Mr. Radbury, will you be so ungentlemanly? “Miss Newton, you’ve probably heard that I am married.” “Auntie said that you’re about to get divorced.” Selina chuckled. “But don’t worry. I don’t care whether you are staying married or getting divorced. I just hope that you can play along with our parents so that I don’t have to go on any more blind dates.” “What do you mean?” “I don’t like blind dates, and neither do you. But if we reject each other, our parents will definitely arrange for us to go on blind dates with other people. That would be annoying, wouldn’t it? Why don’t we pretend to get along and fake it in front of our parents so that they stop pestering us?” Selina’s demeanour was gentle and playful, and she didn’t look like a cunning woman. Damien thought for a while and decided that it wasn’t a bad idea. At least, he would be able to pacify his mother. He nodded in agreement. “Mr. Radburry, since you’ve agreed, why don’t we continue putting on an.act? Let’s go outside, take a walk, and pretend to chit- chat. What do you think?” Selina suggested. Damien glanced at his watch and didn’t object.

That night, Damien did not go home.

Even though Ava was used to Damien not coming home, tonight, the loneliness was especially hard to endure.

Ava sat by the window and tried to read a book. Even after around an hour, she couldn’t even finish reading one page. She chuckled self-deprecatingly. Wasn’t it good that he wasn’t home?

If he were to come home, he would be back with a divorce agreement for her to sign.

The doorbell rang. Ava sat up almost immediately and rushed over to the door. She opened the door before the servants could.

However, the person outside the door wasn’t Damien.

There was a surge of despondence in her heart.

“Excuse me, may I know if Damien Radbury stays here?” A breathtakingly beautiful woman stood outside the door, and she was wearing an intricate dress. Her handbag was limited edition, and she was obviously from a wealthy family. “Excuse me, who are…” Ava was stunned.

“I am Selina Newton.”

Ava’s heart sank.

She was just thinking about how familiar this woman looked, and her gut instinct was right. Was it a trend for third parties in a marriage to come straight to the men’s homes nowadays?

Ava straightened her back vigilantly.

However, Selina merely flashed a sweet smile. “You’re the Radbury family’s nanny, aren’t you? Here’s the thing. Damien left his cell phone in my car. I can’t contact him, so I have no choice but to send it to his place.”

Ava felt as though she had been struck by lightning.

Nanny? Cell phone? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

It turned out that Damien and Selina’s relationship had progressed to the point that they were sitting in each other’s car. But which part of her looked like a nanny? Ava glanced down at her clothes. Although she wasn’t wearing makeup at home, and she wasn’t as well-dressed as Selina, her pyjamas cost more than 10,000USD and was from a luxury brand. What kind of nanny wore such expensive pyjamas? “Well, Miss Newton, you might have misunderstood. I’m not a nanny…” Compared to the fact that Selina was sending Damien’s cell phone over, she was more bothered over Selina mistaking her for a nanny. Selina immediately smiled apologetically. “Oh, I’m so sorry. Then, you must be the legendary Miss Nagel. I was just wondering why the Radbury family has such a young and beautiful nanny.” “The legendary Miss Nagel?” “Yes. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m glad to have the chance to meet you today!” Selina was so gentle and polite that even though Ava was extremely annoyed, she had no reason to fly into a rage at all.

As the two women shook hands, Damien parked his car in front of the door.

“What are you doing?”

Damien’s expression froze when he saw that the two women were standing together the moment he got out of the car.

Selina was about to say something when Ava walked over to Damien and took his arm. “I was just joking with Miss Nagel. We are at the Radbury family’s residence, but she didn’t realize that I’m your wife. Isn’t it funny?”
