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…”

He took her arm as they walked into the restaurant and sat down at the table.

Strangely, the restaurant which had always been crowded was totally empty today. There were only waiters and waitresses inside.

“Why is there no other customer?” Ava looked around, finding the atmosphere a little strange. “Of course it’s because I booked the whole restaurant,” Selden said with a big grin. “Don’t you have anything better to spend your money on?” “Of course I do. You’re the one treating this meal, so you’ll be paying for the booking of the entire restaurant.” Ava was drinking a glass of water, and she almost choked.

This was a Michelin-starred restaurant, and even a normal meal here cost a lot. Selden was a rich man’s son, and he could afford to book the whole restaurant if he wanted to. Why would he make her pay? “Even if you were to kill me and sell all my organs, I wouldn’t have enough money for it.” Ava admitted defeat. “Well, since you can’t afford it, I will pay on your behalf. But in return, you have to marry me to pay me back.”

said with a solemn expression all of a sudden. 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 a wry smile. “Stop talking nonsense.” “I really want you to come with me.” Selden took Ava’s wrist all of a sudden. There was still a gauze on her wrist, and Selden’s grip hurt. Ava couldn’t help but moan in pain. “Look. With him, you are always hurt.”

Selden became a little emotional. “Ava, just say the word, and I’ll take you away. Stop caring about the Radbury family and the Nagel family, okay?” Stop caring? There was a bitterness in her throat. Earlier, she was indeed determined to sign the divorce agreement, but now… “Actually, Damien has been treating me pretty well

I just don’t want to see you suffer.” Ava stayed silent for a long time. In the end, she shook her head. “But Selden, it’s too late.” “Why is it too late? Just because you have gotten married, it doesn’t mean that you must get locked up like a prisoner in that mansion forever! If you don’t dare to
