A Lifetime With You

Chapter 127

The Radbury family’s genes were obvious just by looking at Jean’s face. She couldn’t deny even if she couldn’t remember the past. Ava thought Damien was pestering her because of Jean. “Damien, I don’t care what you’re up to. I have carried Jean for 10 months and labored for hours. Although I know that Radbury family is extremely powerful but you can’t even take him away over my dead body!”

No, she wouldn’t allow anyone to take her child away even if she died! She held Jean’s arm tightly as she had made up her mind. “Mommy, you’re squeezing me too hard, it hurts,” Jean said to her in a low voice. However, she didn’t loosen her grip. A man like Damien had everything he needed and more. He must have had a purpose to pester her. She couldn’t think of anything else besides taking Jean away from her. Jean was as important as her life, she would never give him away even if he was a descendant of the Radbury!

Damien was concentrated on driving and he slightly frowned, “Ava, is there some misunderstandings?”

The kindergarten was not far, so they had arrived at the entrance in the blink of an eye.

This was the best kindergarten in the area, according to the researches that Ava had done in advance. Although the fees were expensive, Jean’s education was more important. Even if she was frugal, she mustn’t let Jean lack in education. Damien was quite satisfied after he saw the kindergarten. She thought that he would leave after sending them to the entrance, but she didn’t expect that he would follow them shamelessly. “Why are you following us?” Ava said discontentedly. “I’m Jean’s parent too, what do you think I’m here for?” Before she could speak, Damien quickly took Jean’s hand and walked into the kindergarten’s gate. “This brat! He just promised to stand on mommy’s side last night, but he betrayed me the next morning!”

Ava was annoyed and she clenched her teeth.

Jean even turned around and shouted at her, “Mommy, hurry up, we’re late!” She followed them in an instant While they were handling the admission procedure, Ava signed the form. The teacher said to Damien, “Both parents need to sign your names and leave your contacts as well.”

Damien picked up the pen and was about to sign, but Ava handed the form to the teacher. “There’s no need, I am a single mother, and he is the driver who drives us.”

The president of Radbury Group was now her driver, so Jean looked at Damien’s expression nervously as he was afraid that he would be angry.

However, Damien didn’t seem angry at all and instead, he nodded, “Yes, I am her exclusive driver.” He emphasized the word ‘exclusive’ when he said that. The teacher couldn’t help but feel astonished. No matter how she looked at it, this gentleman who dressed in a superbly tailored suit and had an extraordinary aura couldn’t be a driver.

In fact, Ava who wore simple clothes looked like a nanny in Damien’s house. Yet the teacher didn’t dare to say anything. After they had completed all the procedures, she let the parents led their children to their class. Today was the first day of school for Jean, so Ava felt reluctant to leave him after sending him into the classroom. She could only turn her head around again and again when she was leaving.

She was worried that Jean would cry like other children as it was an unfamiliar environment. After all, most of the children in the class let out miserable breathless cries after their parents left. The teachers were busy comforting the children one after another, as they were all over the place. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

However, Jean just stayed by the window and waved to them, as if nothing happened.

“It looks like Jean isn’t very clinging to you,” Damien said casually. “What do you mean? He is clinging! He wants to be by my side every day!” Ava was nervous all of a sudden, as she was afraid that Damien would find an excuse to snatch Jean away from her anytime. Damien smiled faintly, “Why are you so wary of me? I’ve never said that I wanted to take Jean to the Radbury family immediately.” “Really?”

“I know that you don’t remember me and most probably don’t want to go back with me. I won’t force you nor your child.” Ava was rather surprised to hear him saying those words.

Since it was impossible to see through him, she couldn’t be sure if it was just a deferment.

“Don’t you ever plan to take Jean away from me, even in the future!” she said harshly. They had reached the gate of the kindergarten, so she walked out promptly and Damien stopped her at once. “Let go of me!”

“You said I’m your exclusive driver just now, and you’re disacknowledging it now?”

“…”

Damien opened the car door and made a gesture indicating her to get in the car. She had no option but to get into his car. But this time, she sat in the front passenger seat. Damien personally fastened her seat belt, but he didn’t start the car for a long time. “What are you doing?” she asked him as she was confused. “Driving from here to your house only takes about ten minutes.” “That’s right, I specifically chose a kindergarten closer to where I live. What’s the matter?”

He leaned over and stared straight into her eyes, “And you’re going to drive me away after ten minutes, aren’t you?” Ava felt somewhat bashful as he stared at her and she avoided his eyes subconsciously. He forced her to look at him as he held her face in his hands. “Ava, what should I do for you to let down your guard with me?” “I’ll be delighted if you stop pestering me.” “What did you just say?” She plucked up her courage and said to him, “Mr. Radbury, as far as I know, we were husband and wife for some time. Since I have no recollection of that, wouldn’t our marriage be considered over? Can’t we just be strangers?” “Ava, I don’t blame you for not remembering anything, but don’t you ever say that our marriage has ended.”

Damien was hurt by her words, she was soft and clearly different when she was in his office yesterday. How did she change so fast?

Ava realized that she might have been too harsh. She had promised to help Enrico to steal the documents, hence she couldn’t be too cold towards him. Therefore, she got her emotions in check and said in a friendly manner. “Well, since I’m now working for Radbury Group, it’s kinda weird for us to be strangers. We should have an employee-employer relationship. Damien, I hope you won’t break into my life like this for no reason.” “A boss and a staff relationship?” Damien sneered coldly, “Ava, you are the one who provoked me at first, how could you be so irresponsible?”
