A Lifetime With You

Chapter 49

Damien noticed that the bottom shelf was full of books related to ancient history, but they seemed to be dusty as they had been left there for quite some time. “Do you like this book?” He took out one of them. “Why do you even bother?” “Why are you study a degree in finance if you like literature?” Ava snatched the book back and replied coldly, “None of your business.” “Why did I do that? Of course, it’s because I want to get into the same university as you,” she thought Unfortunately, he didn’t bother to even spare her a glance in high school, and nothing changed even when they went to university. What was more, she didn’t work in the finance sector after she graduated. He would never know the amount of effort she had put in to get closer to him. “Can you go out now?” Ava asked in a displeased tone. However, Damien didn’t plan to leave at all, instead, he turned around and sat down on her bed. “I’m sleeping here tonight.”

It seemed that he was adamant about staying here. Just as Ava was going to say something, he stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of her again. Half a million… Fine, she had no choice but to bear with it.

“Jerk!”

She left the room after cursing him.

There were only two bedrooms in the house. Since Damien had occupied her room, she had to share a room with her mother.

It had been ages since she slept together with her mother on the same bed. Ava hadn’t completely recovered, so she still experienced mild pains in her lower abdomen. Then, Jessica brewed Ava a cup of brown ginger tea and sighed, “Why do you have to be so hard on Damien even though he has already come all the way here?” “Where he wants to go has nothing to do with me.” “Why are you so stubborn?” Ava turned sideways and closed her eyes, “Mum, I’m very tired now. Let me sleep for a

while.” However, she didn’t get to sleep because she heard Damien’s voice from outside shortly after that. “Why don’t you go and check it out?” Jessica said quickly. “Mum, I’m sick and I don’t feel like it.” So, Jessica had no choice but to get out of bed by herself.

In the end, Ava decided to go and have a look after she pondered for a while. She didn’t want anything to happen when her mother was alone with Damien.

Damien was in the bathroom at this moment. Ava walked over and asked him, “What’s the matter?” Then, Damien popped out his head. His hair and even his eyelashes were dripping wet because he was in the midst of showering.

“I don’t have a towel.”

Ava turned and got him a new towel. Then, she handed it to him with her eyes closed. After Damien was done with his bath, he came out from the bathroom with only his lower body wrapped with a towel. Ava was shocked when she saw this, so she quickly pushed him back to the bathroom.

“You are crazy! How can you come out naked when my mother is around!” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Damien replied innocently, “You didn’t get me a set of clothes to change into.” “Rubbish! How do you expect me to find mens’ clothing in my mother’s house?”

He chuckled.

At that critical moment, she pushed him into the bathroom by pressing on his chest and she wanted to close the door. Then, she soon realized that both of her hands were placed on his chest muscles. Soon, Ava blushed and she instantly let go. However, he grabbed her wrist and leaned over to kiss her. She tried her best to resist but she was afraid that her mother might hear her, so she didn’t make a sound.

His lips were cold and the cloud of vapour that surrounded him clung to her body. He gripped her hands tightly and she couldn’t move at all. She could only struggle as she tried her best to break free. “Stop struggling, otherwise, the towel is going fall”Damien said abruptly. “What?” All of a sudden, she could feel that the towel on his waist had dropped to the floor. She could feel his smooth body as well as his… nether regions through her thin pajamas. Her face was already burning with embarrassment. Meanwhile, Damien chuckled and approached her to kiss her again. She should have kicked him right on the crotch if it weren’t for the fear that her mother would hear the noise.

Maybe it was because of the moisture from his body, and the corner of her eyes started to become wet.

She had no idea why she was crying. She seemed to recall the time when she saw his indifferent expression when he walked through the campus path, which was filled with cherry blossoms many years ago. This scene made her feel somewhat sad and despondent every time her thoughts flashed back to it.

At that time, she had never dreamt that the brilliant boy, whom she had always loved, would turn into her nightmare after so many years.

Nothing could last forever, and this included her feelings for him. “Hey, why are you crying?” Damien stopped kissing her and he wanted to wipe her cheeks after he noticed her tears. But, even the tears were cool and despair. “Damien, I hate you.” She bit her bottom lip hard before she pushed him aside as she wanted to go out. However, she tripped over the towel on the floor.

“Argh…”

She stumbled backward as she cried out in surprise. Damien immediately reached out to grab her, but he tripped as well and both of them fell together in a heap.

“Let me go!” She pummeled his chest hard.

Strangely enough, that she didn’t feel much pain, even though the back of her head had hit the ground directly. Ava stood up and found that Damien had used his palm to hold her head when she fell. At the same time, the back of his hand collided with the hard tiles. Due to the impulsive force from her head, his skin was scuffed, and there were signs of bleeding as well. Her heart quivered. “Ouch…” Damien clasped his hands with a painful expression. She was shocked, so she quickly went to check his wound, but it was just a minor scratch. However, Damien raised his hands and said with a pout, “I’m injured.” “Since you have such a weak and vulnerable body, should I call for an ambulance?” “Go ahead.”

Ava rolled her eyes. Then, she stood up to go and take a plaster for him.

She finally managed to rummage for a bottle of iodophor and cotton swabs. But, she was uncertain whether these two things were expired or not.

Since it was just for external use and it wouldn’t be deadly, so she threw the medicine directly to him.

“I was hurt because of you, so you should treat my wounds,” Damien said. She could only sit down and hold his hand up. When he watched as she carefully took the cotton swab and applied the medicine to his hand, he was a bit stunned.

Perhaps, he didn’t know anything about this woman at all. Suddenly, his chest tightened and he held her fingers tightly, “Ava, come back to me, we can start all over again.” Damien’s voice was hoarse as he pleaded with her. Then, her movements paused and she couldn’t help but laugh. She would be touched, probably, if he had told her these words earlier on.

But, now, she just raised up her head and looked into his eyes. “Damien, we’re over.”
