A Lifetime With You

Chapter 113

The voice sounded so familiar. “Ava.”

He immediately chased after them. However, a group of tourists arrived at the entrance of the hotel right at this time. When Damien finally got out of the hotel, the woman was not in sight anymore. It took him some time to get across the crowd, so how could they still be there? “Was it Ava?” “Impossible, how could she possibly be here?”

“I must’ve been hallucinating.”

Damien let out a bitter laugh. Four years had passed, yet he still couldn’t move on and was still holding on to the thought that she might be alive. Indeed, she was never coming back again.

On the other side, Ava held Jean’s hand as the two of them walked to the bus station together. “Mommy, I just saw a handsome man. He looks a bit like me.” Ava did not take it seriously. This was his first time here, of course, he would be curious about everything around him. “Mommy, do you think that I might be someone to him? I felt a familiar feeling when I was with him.” She touched the tip of her son’s nose and said, “You feel a sense of familiarity with every person who is good looking, don’t you? You said the same thing when you first met Uncle Enrico.” “That’s because Uncle Enrico is my best friend!” Jean held his mother’s hand while they got up the bus It was very interesting to see the scenery of the city through the bus. In the past, he only saw the scenes through the computer screen. He was excited to see it in real life this time!

“Mommy, this place isn’t the same as overseas!” To be honest, Ava was a little surprised too as she didn’t have her memories of the past. It felt like it was her first time in this city as well. They went to look for places to rent as staying in a hotel was way too expensive. Since they were going to be here for a long time, she thought it would be better to find an affordable apartment, especially when she didn’t have a job at this time. She planned to look for a job before sending Jean to a kindergarten. But if she

wanted to send him to school, that meant she would need many documents for the process to go through. These were giving her a headache. She found a nice place near the city center according to Jean’s preference. Although the price was a little high, it was still acceptable. At least the transportation here was convenient Seeing that she was satisfied with the selection, the agent immediately called the landlord and got

ready to sign the contract of rental.

The landlord was a middle-aged woman in her fifties. She was donned in branded bags and jewelry. But unfortunately, they were clearly fake. There were signs of fatigue in her eyes. Presumably, her days were not going well. “Madam, this is Miss Nagel who wants to rent the place. Coincidentally, both of you have the same last name!” The agent introduced warmly. The woman grunted weakly. She was obviously not passionate about her own job. She didn’t even bother to look at her tenant from the moment she stepped in.

Ava was afraid the landlord wouldn’t welcome her and she said, “Miss, don’t worry. My child and I are not loud. We are also very hygienic.” Only then did the woman raised her head. When she saw Ava, her eyes widened immediately.

“Ava? You’re really back?” Ava was surprised. The woman grabbed her arms and tears welled up in her eyes. “It’s really you! You’re alive…Oh my god!” Upon seeing the woman who was crying tears of joy, Ava was at a loss. The woman’s behavior scared Jean, and he quickly hid behind his mother.

“Miss Nagel, is this a mistake?”

“Ava? I’m your mother! Can’t you recognize me?”

“What?!” With tears streaming down Jessica’s cheeks, she hugged her daughter and cried so hard that Ava felt suffocated. D “It’s been four years. I thought you were dead. Everyone told me that you died when you were overseas. Ava, do you know how depressed I was?”

What a small world.

It turned out that they were destined to meet no matter what. The landlord turned out to be her mother! Ava was surprised to see her cry so hard that she didn’t know how to react for a long time. The woman even called out her full name with such sincerity! “Are you really… my mother?” “Who do you think I am if not your mother? You’re terrible…why didn’t you give me a call to let me know you’re safe?”

At the Radbury Group

When Damien returned to the company, the voice still lingered in his mind.

Did he really hear it wrongly?

Did he just mistake someone else’s voice for Ava’s?

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, someone knocked on the office door. “Sir, something bad happened!” Dempsey rushed in.

Dempsey had been working for Damien for many years and she had always been calm and composed. It was rare for her to be so flustered. “What’s wrong?”

“Sir Enrico is here.” “That’s fine. I actually wanted to speak to him.” Dempsey shook her head. “No, he… he has been appointed as the new Vice President by the board of directors.”

“What?”

Before Damien had the time to react, Enrico had walked straight into the CEO’s office. He was dressed in a white suit. However, he looked awkward as he never really dressed up so formally. Enrico adjusted his necktie and mumbled, “Dad’s clothes are really uncomfortable. I think it would be better if I dress casually to work.” “Enrico, what do you want?” Damien asked coldly. Dempsey was sensible to leave

before she shut the office door. Enrico sat down on the sofa casually and said with a smile, “Didn’t Dempsey tell you just now? I am now your employee. If there’s any work, just let me know.” 2 “The company is not a place for you to fool around.” “I know, that’s why I learned how to put on a necktie last night. Damien, I’m serious about this.” Damien snorted coldly.

With Enrico’s intelligence, there was nothing that he couldn’t learn. But he’s been putting up an act all these years and pretended to be frivolous just to have the public think that his brother had always oppressed him, and that was why he didn’t have a say in the family business. “Why are you stopping the act after so many years?” Damien asked coldly. “Well, I’m not a film graduate nor a professional actor. It’s quite exhausting, to be honest. Plus, it’s not my style to just sit out there and spend my family’s money forever. Believe me. I’ve made up my mind to work hard. Can’t you just trust me for once?” “Cut the crap and just tell me what you want.” Enrico smiled evilly and his eyes darkened. “If I tell you I want the Radbury Group, will you give it to Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
