Chapter 25
From what Damien could remember, Ava had never been deliberately intimate with him like this before.
Damien prodded Ava‘s head away. He then stepped aside.
“Ava Nagel, have you taken the wrong medicine today?” Ava blinked. She swayed all of a sudden and
pretended to look weak as she coughed. “Then, are you home so late because you knew that I‘m sick
and went to buy medicine for me?” Damien glanced at Selina, who was standing beside them looking a
little embarrassed. He then whispered beside Ava‘s ear. “You‘re good at acting indeed.” “After doing it for
so many years, I‘ve naturally become good.”
Damien flashed a smile so fleeting that Ava didn‘t see it. However, Selina saw it clearly.
“Go in. I have something to talk to Miss Newton about.”
He then pushed Ava into the door, and walked over to Selina. The two of them stood outside for about
ten minutes. Ava had no idea what they were talking about.
She had probably gone crazy just now. She wanted to show her authority as Damien‘s wife in front of
Selina. But Damien didn‘t play along with her, and she just ended up embarrassing herself even more.
Seeing that Damien had drove her away so that he could have a private conversation with Selina, Ava
reckoned that their relationship was progressing quickly. Well, that was expected since both of them
were from wealthy and powerful families. Ava could even hear Selina‘s crisp laughter. Damien had never
made Ava laugh so happily before. . It was highly possible that Selina would soon become this
mansion‘s new hostess. Why would Damien pay Ava any more attention? Ava went back to the bedroom
alone and started packing up her clothes and cosmetics, one after another. She had bought a new 30–
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinch suitcase, and it was so large that it could fit a grown person. However, it wasn’t enough to contain
all the memories that she had made throughout the past two years. In fact, she and Damien shared very
few good memories together. Most of the time, she was lost and dejected After she was done putting
everything into the suitcase, she hesitated for a moment. In the end, she took everything out again.
Should she give up just like this? Was she really giving up? Ava once thought that as long as she got to
marry into the Radbury family, everything would be perfect. But now she knew that imagination was often
better than reality. Everything was beyond her control, and she was merely going to Damien like a moth
to a flame.
The next day, Ava did not see Damien at home. However, she did see his face in the newspaper. The
paparazzi had taken photographs of him walking side by side with Selina into the Radbury family’s
manor. Even though the wife of Radbury Group’s president rarely appeared in public, and Ava’s identity
was kept a secret, everyone knew that Damien was married. In the past, Damien had gotten into quite a
few scandals with rich men’s daughters and celebrities. However, these scandals were considered minor
and not a threat to his marriage. However, now, the photographs showed that Damien was entering his
parents’ home with Selina. Rumour had it that Damien had divorced his wife a long time ago and would
be getting engaged with Selina soon. The more Ava looked at the news reports, the more she found the
situation hilarious. The members of the Radbury family couldn’t even wait for a few more days. She and
Damien weren’t even officially divorced yet, and they were already in a rush to announce who the next
young missus of the family would be. It was a stark contrast to her and Damien’s secret marriage.
Radburry Group’s public relations department was probably super eager to announce that Damien had
found a future wife who was a match to him in terms of wealth and status. “If you know what’s good for
you, pack up and leave. Don’t outstay your welcome.” Karen entered the mansion and said rudely to
Ava. “No matter what, I’m still Damien’s wife right now. You’re in such a rush to find him a new woman.
Aren’t you being a little too impatient?” “Hmph! Do you still expect me to treat you with courtesy after you
and your sister faked her pregnancy? Ava Nagel, consider yourself lucky that I’m not chasing you out
with a broom!” Karen’s tone was full of disdain. After she chased Beth out, she vented out all her anger
and resentment regarding the incident on Ava.
There was a surge of bitterness in Ava’s heart. It was clear that Beth was the one at fault, and she was
the one who was the most greatly affected by it. Why did everyone think that she had to take
responsibility for Beth’s wrongdoing now? It was really unfair. She was indignant and angry, but there
was nothing she could do. “Hurry up, why are you still wasting time? Once Damien comes back, I will
drive you out right away. Ava had no choice but to start packing. She was packing up so slowly that
Karen kept glaring at her. But she couldn’t help but hope that Damien would come home so that she
could take another look at him. Just one look would be enough. However, when Damien came back, she
was with Selina. “Damien, how was your date with Selina today?” Karen immediately greeted them
affectionately, and she was smiling ear to ear as she looked at Selina, which was a far cry from the way
she treated Ava just now. Selina blushed and quickly explained, “Auntie, Mr. Radburry and I weren’t on a
date. We went on a
lunch meeting for work matters.” The Newton family and Radbury Group had a business relationship all
along, and right now, Selina was the Newton family’s representative when it came to their cooperation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHence, Damien and Selina did go out today to talk about work. Karen smiled and said, “So, the two of
you had lunch together. Did you have a good time?” Selina answered Karen’s question politely.
Meanwhile, Damien looked at the bedroom upstairs. “What’s going on?” “Oh, that woman is packing up.
The two of you are signing the divorce agreement in a few days, so she naturally can’t stay here
anymore.” Karen snorted coldly. Damien’s expression changed in an instant. “Since when have I said
that I want to divorce her?” “Damien, she’s the one who said that she wants a divorce. I didn’t force her.”
Ava could hear the three of them talking downstairs, but she stayed in the room and did nothing. She
knew that right now, Damien and Selina were standing side by side. She recalled the news headlines
she saw this morning.
The two of them looked like a match made in heaven indeed. And she had always been an outsider in
this large and grandiose mansion. She could hear someone walking up the stairs. She reckoned that it
was Damien, but she didn’t even raise her head. She merely continued putting clothes into her suitcase.
“Don’t worry, the lawyer I have appointed will be here tomorrow. After we sign the divorce agreement,
you can be with anyone you want. But before the paperwork is done, please don’t get involved with
another woman,” she said. All the members of the Radbury family cared about their reputation more than
anything else. Damien probably didn’t want to be known as a cheater. The person at the door didn’t
speak, so she continued packing her luggage and muttered, “I know that you and your family members
think that all I want is the Radburry family’s wealth, but since I’ve already signed that agreement, I won’t
take a single cent from you.” The person at the door continued standing where he was. He watched
quietly as Ava put her clothes one by one into a suitcase until it was full. She was taking away everything
that belonged to her and leaving behind everything that wasn’t hers. After a long time, she stood up and
smiled at him. “Damien, do you know why I tried all means and methods to marry you back then?”
