A Lifetime With You

A Lifetime With You Chapter 136

Chapter 136

“Enrico, just shut your mouth!” Karen reprimanded him while wiping away her tears. Damien snorted coldly. The kidnapping that happened 20 years ago was the main cause of the terrible relationship between the two brothers. Damien had been kidnapped and locked up in the cellar for three days. However, Enrico, who was young at that time, thought that he was the one being kidnapped out of a psychological feeling of NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

guilt.

No one had ever told Enrico the truth about what really happened. As such, he had been hating on his brother for over twenty years.

Meanwhile, Damien was sick of talking to him and immediately walked out. He knew long ago that by giving someone an inch, they would only take a mile. He knew that blindly giving in would never be traded for respect and understanding.

Enrico did not go to work the next day. Ever since Ava got the document from Damien, she was eager to hand it over to Enrico personally. However, Enrico was absent today, so she had to meet him outside after work. They had arranged to meet up at a restaurant that Enrico often visited. Enrico was late, and when he came in, he was wearing a mask and a pair of sunglasses. Ava found that it was weird upon seeing him show up like that, “What’s wrong with you?” “Nothing. Where are the documents?” Ava took out a file from her bag and handed it to him. He immediately took it and flipped through a few pages to make sure that it was correct. After that, he let out a sigh of relief. “I didn’t expect you to get it so quickly. How did you get it? Didn’t Damien almost find out about it?” “… I stole it while he was distracted.” Ava made up a lie. She didn’t know how she should explain to Enrico that Damien actually handed this document over to her personally. As a matter of fact, she still couldn’t figure out why he did this. “Enrico, in fact, after a period of observation, I feel that Damien is actually not as bad as you said

before.” “What did you say?” “I think… is there any misunderstanding between you and him? After all, you guys are brothers. Maybe he really didn’t intend to harm you. What’s more, the document has been with him for a long time, and he hasn’t done anything bad to you, right?” Enrico laughed coldly, “He isn’t going to harm me? What kind of hypnotizing trick did he use on you?” Ava hurriedly explained, “No, I just think that…”

“If he didn’t hate me to the core, how on earth could I have become like this?” Enrico took off his mask and sunglasses. He revealed his swollen and bruised face. No wonder he didn’t come to the company today. He really couldn’t meet anyone in this state. “What happened?” Ava asked worriedly. “Of course, it’s my good brother who did it.” “He beat you up?” Ava was surprised. Just as she was about to dive in deeper about what happened to him, her eyes suddenly went blank and her face instantly turned pale. Enrico turned his head and followed her gaze.

At the entrance, Damien and a woman were seen entering the restaurant together.

Although Enrico and Ava were sitting afar, they could clearly see that he was with a young and beautiful lady. Enrico snorted and said, “Looks like my brother has a new lover.” Ava accidentally knocked down the cup next to her, and the water spilled all over the table. It soaked her skirt wet.

She immediately stood up, and Enrico helped to wipe her dress with tissues. This sudden commotion caught Damien’s attention instantly.

He also noticed Ava and Enrico. His expression darkened when he saw Enrico leaning over to help Ava.

Damien immediately walked in their direction, and the woman next to him followed behind.

Enrico noticed them walking over and whispered to Ava, “The woman beside him is the daughter of Gringots Financial Holdings’ CEO, Florence Burton. They went on a blind date not long ago.”

She suddenly came to a realization.

Florence Burton, her name sounded really familiar. The incoming message that she saw on Damien’s phone the other day was from her, wasn’t it? They were indeed a match made in heaven. “Damien, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.” Enrico lifted his hands off Ava’s skirt and stood up. However, Damien had his gaze fixed on Ava. “He had clearly told her that she could only stand by his side. It seemed that she didn’t care about his words at all. Meanwhile, Florence cried out in shock upon seeing Enrico’s face, “Hey, what happened to your face? Did you get slapped by your girlfriend?” Florence said in a mockery tone. Obviously, she was teasing Enrico by saying that the woman next to him was his girlfriend. Unfortunately, her words aggravated Damien. “Come with me.” He said coldly to Ava. Ava had no intention to follow him at all.

She said softly to Enrico, “I’ve handed you the documents, so I’ll be heading back first.” Then, she walked out of the restaurant. Damien immediately followed after her. Seeing that Damien was leaving after she took a great effort to invite him out, Florence immediately stopped him, “You promised to have dinner with me today! What are you going to do with your brother’s girlfriend?” B “You shut up!”

Damien pushed her away. By then, Ava had already walked out of the restaurant and entered the elevator. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Damien’s hand suddenly reached in. He actually took the risk of injuring himself to force the door open. “What are you doing?” Ava subconsciously pushed him out, but Damien had already managed to enter the elevator.

He pressed the button which would bring them to the highest level in the building, which was the 28th floor.

Ava suddenly panicked and wanted to escape, but she was pinned to the corner. “I met with Florence today because we’re here to discuss this one acquisition matter. She came on behalf of her father and we’re just talking about business,” Damien explained. Ava turned her head away, “Why do you need to

explain it to me? I don’t care at all.” Damien did not know what was wrong with him today. He should be angry after seeing Enrico with her. However, at this moment, he was just anxiously coming clean to her. “Let me go,” She said coldly. “I’m done explaining. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“No, I don’t.”

He was devastated. It turned out that his countless effort to gain her favor was to no avail. She was still acting cold and indifferent towards him. He thought that she had forgotten what had happened in the past. It turned out that she was no longer the same person she used to be. “Ava Nagel, what do you want me to do?” “I just want you to let go of me right now!” The elevator quickly ascended to the 28th floor. Ava struggled out of his arms and ran out of the elevator. It was dark outside; the basement of the building had a restaurant, while the upper ground was originally used as an office building. However, the top floor was not rented out, so it was a vacant area.

Ava was at a loss. As she quickly turned around and wanted to go back, she accidentally bumped into a warm body

In the darkness, she couldn’t see anything. She could only feel stern and sharp gaze fixated on her.
