A Lifetime With You

Chapter 87

“Are you sure that you don’t like him anymore? Then why are you getting angry?” A woman’s voice appeared from behind. Kelly turned around, and she saw Selina. “Why are you here?” “I was here a while now and I saw you coming out angrily.” Kelly responded cautiously, “It’s none of your business.” Selina smirked, “You’re right, Miss Hensley. But again, both of us have the same enemy, right?” Obviously, Ava was their enemy. Kelly rolled her eyes upon the question, “You want us to work together?” “Shouldn’t we? After all, both of us share the same enemy and almost the same goal.” “Do you think I’m stupid? Once Damien is yours, Ava will switch to Selden immediately.” With a smile, Selina approached Kelly, and she whispered, “All we need is to eliminate Ava, right?”

During his stay at the hospital, Selden would call Ava constantly. He requested meal delivery and simple chats with Ava roughly four times a week. Finally, Damien could not take it anymore. “From now on, you are prohibited from visiting Selden!” Ava was speechless, “Selden is my savior and his requests are simple. Perhaps he was bored in the hospital. Plus, I did inform you about the visit every time.” “Does he not have any family or friends? Why must it be you every time?” “Fine. How about you replace me like last time?”

Ava glanced at Damien mischievously.

Damien snorted and he instructed the task to his driver instead. “Anyway, you’re not allowed to have further interactions with him!” He warned Ava. Ava felt wronged, “Seems like Mr. Radbury is a difficult person. You did the same too last time.” “What are you trying to say?” “I didn’t question you about Selina last time. Plus, you used to fool around too…” “That’s different,” Damien denied the accusation. “How is it different? You should take a look at yourself before commenting on others.” Ava was busy in the kitchen during their conversation. Since the chefs of the Radbury family were skilled, she rarely stepped into the kitchen. But Ava learned a recipe online and she had a sudden urge to prepare charbroiled chicken wings for Damien this weekend. Yet, Damien was unsettled at the thought of Ava’s cooking.

The food is burned now because of our conversation!” “No. The chicken wings were overcooked before our talk started. The recipe states to have them roasted for twenty minutes, but
