A Lifetime With You

Chapter 30

Selden sped all the way and finally stopped at the entrance of a restaurant.

He actually sped in the city. What a man. Ava couldn’t help retching the moment she got out of the car. Selden panicked a little. “Hey, even though you haven’t fully recovered, you couldn’t be so weak, could you? Are you okay?” “I’m okay…”

Having known Selden for so many years, it was rare for Ava to see him being so serious. She couldn’t help being stunned. “What do you mean?” “Ava, leave Damien and come with me.” Ava gave
