A Lifetime With You

Chapter 23

A date?

It turned out that he wasn’t entertaining the company’s shareholders. Instead, he went on a date with a woman. Ava watched as the phone screen slowly dimmed, and there was an upheaval of emotions in her chest.

Heh, she had just told him that she wanted a divorce the day before, and he had already gone on a date with a woman today. He acted swiftly indeed.

He was in such a rush to get rid of her, wasn’t he?

As she looked at the man beside her, who was sleeping soundly because of how drunk he was, she felt tremendously disgusted. If she had seen his true colours back then, she wouldn’t have ended up in this state today. It seemed that their marriage was really over. She forcefully pushed him away, but he tightened his grip around her waist. He was hugging her tightly. It was a warm embrace, but it disgusted her to no end.

She suppressed the nausea in her chest all night.

“Every single second you hug me, I feel absolutely disgusted.” Damien’s expression immediately turned dark. “In that case, you don’t have to sleep in my bedroom anymore. Or you’re just going to get disgusted whenever I’m in

“Right. I’ve been meaning to do this too.” Ava smiled and said, “Bring the divorce agreement over. I’ll sign it and move out immediately.” “You want to escape after making a mess, huh? Ava, life isn’t so easy.” “What happened with Beth is your mess, not mine.” Ava entered the walk-in wardrobe to get

her mother’s place, she received a call from her father. “Where are you? Hurry up and

been doing at the Radbury family? How did you allow your sister to end up like this?” As soon as Keenan saw Ava enter the house, he questioned her sternly. Ava saw the situation in the living room and immediately understood what was going on. After it was exposed that Beth had faked her pregnancy, the Radbury family had probably stirred up trouble with her family members. “Dad, Beth is the one who was obsessed with Damien and tried to snatch away my husband. Now that she failed to make my husband cheat on me and got into trouble instead, you’re questioning me for what happened. Why? Do you want me to cry in front of you too?” “You…” Beth stood up and sobbed as she said, “If you didn’t deliberately push me downstairs that day, I wouldn’t have fallen. This only happened to me because of you!” Now that it had been exposed that she was faking her pregnancy, Beth had totally lost all dignity in front of Damien. And Damien’s mother, Karen,

So, you’re saying that you did all these for our family? Haha.” The more Ava thought about it, the more she found it hilarious. Beth was the one who stirred up trouble, but all the members of the Nagel family were sitting in a row and looking at Ava, as though Ava was the one who did something wrong. Beth’s mother, Cecelia, stood up and said, “Your sister didn’t handle this well, but why would you make things worse? Now that our family has offended the Radbury family, does it do you any good?” “Since when did I make things worse?” “If you didn’t belittle me and slander me in front of Damien’s mother, why would
