A Lifetime With You

A Lifetime With You Chapter 119

“I am still married to Ava. Don’t tell me that Miss Burton doesn’t know that I have a wife?”

Karen sensed that something was off in his tone as she tried to salvage the conversation, “That was in the past, Damien is single now…” Damien interrupted his mother in an instant, “Miss Burton, if you don’t mind being my mistress, then I wouldn’t mind continuing the cooperation with your father.” “You…” Florence stood up straight away, “Do you think I come here today just for the sake of our business?”

“A commercial marriage between two families is basically a business relationship.”

Damien was being blunt in his words. Hence, it made Madam Burton and Florence embarrassed. He then smiled teasingly, “However, I’m afraid that Miss Burton would suffer as there are quite an amount of blind dates that my mother had set up for me. There are around twenty of them, Miss Florence. Would you mind to be the eighteenth or nineteenth mistress?” “Damien, how dare you humiliate me?” Florence was shamed in front of the elders. As it was improper to lose her temper on the spot, she could only throw some words and left. Madam Burton felt abashed and followed right behind her and left immediately. Karen was furious, “Why did you have to say such harsh words? You shouldn’t drive her away like that, regardless of anything!” “Gringots Financial Holdings had a good relationship with the Newton family. Now that I’ve defeated the Newton family, so Gringots Financial Holdings is suffering. Here they are trying to form a relationship with the Radbury family, so they offered their daughter’s hand in marriage. Mom, don’t you see what they’re trying to do?” “But… even if that’s the case, how can we be rivals for eternity? Gringots Financial Holdings is interested in befriending us, I think Florence is well educated and pretty, so she’s a good match for our family as well. I just want you two to befriend each other.” Damien stood up, “I’ve known her for a long time.” “But why did you…” Damien and Florence had known each other since he and Ava had just married. He had some misunderstandings with Ava at that time, and he went to the bar to have a drink just to avoid her. That

night, he met Florence in the bar. They were merely having conversations, but Ava caught them when she went to the bar to look for him. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

It was the first conflict that broke out after they married. Since then, he rarely went home.

Florence thought that she had a chance to get closer to him, and she went to find to him again and again. She didn’t hesitate to use dirty tricks to seduce him. He considered the Gringots Financial Holdings respectable, and he didn’t embarrass her overtly. After several years, he didn’t expect that Florence was still determined on chasing him. “Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I won’t date anyone except Ava.”

Damien then walked straight out of the living room. Karen was upset as she stood behind him. She called out to him, but he ignored her. Enrico leaned against the pillar of the door with a mischievous look on his face as if he had been expecting some conflicts. “Oh brother, mom is just concerned about your marriage. Since you are not young anymore, it’ll be good to marry someone with a similar status to our family.”

Damien sneered coldly. “Since you like Florence so much, why don’t you marry her instead of me?” He walked away just after he finished his words and left Enrico with an unpleasant expression. Erico took out his phone and saw a message that Ava sent, “I have some questions to ask you, can we meet now?” Enrico couldn’t help but smiled as he replied and typed swiftly with his fingers, “Okay.”

In the cafe.

Ava hurriedly arrived at the cafe where Enrico had been waiting for her. “I’m sorry that I asked to see you so late at night.” She said apologetically.

“It’s fine, I’m free anyway.” Enrico handed over the coffee that he had ordered for her earlier.

She thanked him immediately after.

“You don’t look well. What happened?” He asked.

“I fainted at home a few hours ago and I just got discharged from the hospital.” “Fainted? What’s wrong?” Enrico looked concern. She quickly waved her hands, “I’m fine, but… I met someone before I fainted.”

“Who is it?”

“He said his name is Damien.”

Enrico was taken aback.

He had presumed that she would meet Damien when she came back. However, he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

Suddenly, he felt a little displeased.

“What did he say to you?” Enrico lowered his head and pretended to pick up a tea spoon and stirred his coffee.

“He said he is Jean’s father.”

“What do you think about that?”

Ava noticed that he was not surprised, as if he had known about it all along. She asked, “Do you know about Damien? Why didn’t you mention him before?” “Since I’ve known you in the past, of course, I know him. I didn’t want to tell you because I don’t want you to be sad when you recall your memories of the past.” “Why?”

“Because my surname is Radbury and so is he.”

Enrico’s eyes flickered, and he raised his head right after. She was stunned by his words. She should have thought of this earlier, as both of their surnames were Radbury. It couldn’t be a coincidence, as Radbury was not a common surname. “Did you intentionally approach me? What is your motive?” Ava clenched her fists on the quiet. “Ava, getting close to you isn’t my intention. It is just a coincidence that I saved you at the beach.” “What’s the relationship between you and Damien?” Enrico chuckled, “Do you still remember? I’ve told you many times that I have a brother.” Ava was astounded once again.

Long ago, Enrico had mentioned how he did not have a permanent place abroad because his brother had been trying to oppress him. The rich families only cared about their fame and they had never priorities their flesh and blood. They only cared about profits. Moreover, they only strived for power, family properties, and shares. She remembered Enrico telling her about these things, she even scolded his elder brother for him as she felt the injustice for Enrico. She didn’t expect the truth to be this way. “So, Damien is your brother? Which means, I… I am…”

“You were my sister-in-law.”

“Were?”

“The two of you had a stormy relationship, and you even planned a divorce long before.” Enrico took out his phone and look for a photo from his phone album. He then placed it in front of her.

“What is this?”

“This is the divorce agreement between you and my brother, I found it at home and took a picture of it secretly.” Ava looked down at his phone. Her signature was on the divorce agreement but Damien’s was missing. She was quite confused. Enrico explained to her, “At the time, you were deeply hurt and wanted to leave. Thus, you signed the divorce agreement. But he refused to let you go and therefore, you were the only one who signed it.” “Since we have a stormy relationship, why didn’t he let me go?”
