A Lifetime With You

Chapter 116

“It’s…it’s me.” He hesitated.

“Who are you?” Damien didn’t know how to introduce himself out of a sudden. Why was there a kid?

Could it be that this child was…

Before he could ask, the child inside said, “Sir, who are you looking for? My grandmother went out to play chess with her friends. Mommy went downstairs to throw the garbage. She hasn’t come back yet, so I can’t open the door for a stranger.”

This child was very sensible.

He thought for a while and asked through the door, “What’s your name?” “I won’t tell you! You first, what’s your name?” “I am Damien Radbury.” Jean tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he shouted, “I don’t know you! My mommy doesn’t know you either! My Grandma probably doesn’t know you too!” Listening to the innocent voice of the child in the door, he couldn’t help but smile again. He hadn’t smiled like this for a long time, and his mood was lifted in an instant. He suddenly recognized the little kid. It was the voice of the child he met at the hotel that day. “Is your mommy Ava Nagel?” he asked.

Before the child inside answered, a suspicious voice sounded behind him. “How do you know my name?”

Hearing this familiar voice, he was stunned and almost did not dare to turn around. It had been four years. The voice had lingered in his mind over and over again. He never forgot this voice no matter what. Ava Nagel, it was really her. “Who are you? Why are you at my door?” She took a cautious step

back. Damien turned around and saw the woman in front of him. She was wearing a silk nightgown and her hair was wrapped in a towel. She looked just like a housewife.

She used to be like this when she was at home. She didn’t like to dry her hair, so she used to lie on his legs with wet hair and asked him to dry it for her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He smiled.

“Ava, you are really here.” “You know me?”

Looking at her strange and distant eyes, he froze. “Ava, don’t you remember me?” He took a step towards her.

“Why should I remember you? Who are you? Hey… Stay back!” She retreated in panic. He reached out, and she was in his arms the next thing she knew. Smelling the familiar scent of her hair, he couldn’t help but hug her even tighter. He missed her so much! All the emotions came stumbling back into his heart.

This really wasn’t a dream!

He held her very tightly, as if she would disappear again if he released her. Ava, on the other hand, was in a state of utter panic.

“Who are you? Let me go!”

Ava cried out in panic. In order to push him away, she bit him on his shoulder.

Damien didn’t let go of his hand at all.

The pain on his shoulder reminded him clearly that it was not a dream. Over the past four years, countless people convinced him to move on. One by one, they said to him, “Ava is dead and you

should probably forget her.” But how could he ever forget this woman? He used his fingers to brush her eyes, nose, and lips. He did not dare to use even the slightest force because he was afraid that his dream would all collapse if he was not careful. “Ava, why do you only come back to me now? He spoke slowly and gently. His voice was hoarse. She was still panicking and frightened as she struggled to get out of his embrace. “Sir, who exactly are you? Why are you at my house?”

Ava looked at the closed door with concern. She was afraid that the man in front of her had bad intentions, so she immediately blocked the door.

“You… don’t recognize me?” Damien was surprised. Four years ago, Selden told him that she had lost her memory after the accident and she no longer remembered the people and things of the past. It seemed that she had not recalled anything.

But how did she remember Jessica? With these doubts, Damien stared intensely at her. At this moment, the door opened. Jean heard the sound outside and was worried about his mommy’s safety. He held an electric mosquito swatter and rushed out to hit Damien.

“Bad guy! Don’t bully my mommy!”

Jean was hitting Damien with all his might but because he was so small, Damien didn’t even feel a

thing.

Damien smiled as he picked the child up.

“Let me go!” Jean shouted in mid-air. “This little fellow is quite bold.” When he was in the hotel, he had a strange sense of familiarity. Now, it seemed that he was looking at himself in the mirror.

“Let go of my son!” Seeing that her son was being carried by a stranger, Ava immediately rushed over and bit hard on his arm. He had to put the child on the ground since it was quite painful. “I don’t

remember you being so fierce last time,” Damien chuckled. He didn’t look angry, but he was smiling warmly instead. It was a total contrast from his cold appearance and this stunned Ava. “Who the hell are you?”

Ava carefully held her son in her arms and took a few steps back. She was very much on guard, and Damien couldn’t get any closer. It seemed that she really did not remember him. But he didn’t mind, because she was back now and that was all that mattered. He felt like the happiest man alive! “My name is Damien Radbury.”

“Damien…” “You can forget it once, but you can never forget my name ever again.” Ava felt that the name Damien was very familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not recall anything.

In fact, she was starting to have a headache. “Did I know you before?” She asked. “Well, if I’m not wrong, I’m the father of your child.” “That is impossible!”

Ava’s eyes widened suddenly. Jean even raised his head in surprise and looked at the man in front of him.

This person was Jean’s father?

How was that possible? Her headache was getting more intense. “What’s wrong?” Damien asked when he noticed her strange behavior.

However, she panicked and continued to retreat until there was no place for her to hide. “I don’t remember you.” She grabbed her son’s hand and quickly opened the door and walked in. Then, she closed the door and locked it. Outside the door, Damien didn’t know what to do. He knocked on the door, and a voice sounded from inside, “I’m sorry, I don’t want to see you now. Please leave!”

Ava’s resistance to him was completely out of expectation.

But since she couldn’t remember him, he shouldn’t push her too hard. No matter what, she was back. They would have plenty of time in the future. On the other side of the door, Ava’s knees went weak and she fell to the ground. Jean didn’t understand what was going on. He leaned over and asked her, “Mommy, is he really my daddy?”
