A Lifetime With You

Chapter 144

While holding Jean in one hand, Ava walked in their direction slowly.

The distance between them was getting shorter. “Selden, it’s been a long time,” she said with a smile. Tears welled up in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and finally stretched his hand out. The moment his hand touched her face, everything felt real. It was not an illusion this time. “You’re still alive.” “Yes, I’m not dead and I’m sorry that I haven’t told you…”

Initially, Ava wanted to run away when she saw them. However, she changed her mind after a moment of hesitation. Tears rolled down Kelly’s cheek. She wanted to approach her, but she didn’t know where to start. Finally, she burst into tears. She held Jean’s small hand and said to him, “I’m Aunt Kelly, and this is Uncle Selden. We’re both your mommy’s best friend.” “Nice to meet you, aunt and uncle.” They were all good friends of Mommy’s… Yes, they were just friends. Suddenly, Selden laughed silently. As long as she was still alive, what else was there to think about? Good thing she was still alive. In the past four years, his life was in a downward spiral. He had been drunk and living aimlessly every day. It was not until recently that he had gotten better. It turned out that she was alive all this time.

“Ava, I let you down for what happened before.” “Forget it, it’s all in the past. I don’t really hate you.”

“Ava, I…” Before Selden finished his words, a sudden yell resounded the hallway.” Ava Nagel!” The voice was piercingly loud, and it let off an enormous shock to people in the airport. Subsequently, a few bodyguards quickly ran over and surrounded them. At this moment, Damien showed up from the crowd. He then immediately pulled Ava to his side. “Didn’t I already said that you’re not allowed to leave? Do you not care about what I said?” Damien was obviously mad. In the past, he had never spoken so harshly to Ava in front of Jean.

This time, even Jean was shocked. Ava wanted to struggle out of his grasp. However, it only made him grab her even tighter.

“Let go of me! You’re hurting me!” “Don’t even think about leaving. Follow me home.” Damien dragged her with him and was about to leave. Suddenly, Selden’s expression darkened, “Stop!” He grabbed Ava on the other hand. Both of Ava’s wrists were pulled by them and she was in extreme pain. Flustered, she looked at the two of them helplessly. Meanwhile, they looked past her and stared coldly at each other. The atmosphere suddenly became intense.

“It’s been four years. You still aren’t willing to treat her well” Selden said coldly.

“You’re right. It’s been four years and you’re still not willing to give up on her.” “Why should I? As long as I am here, you can’t hurt her.” Realizing the heated situation, Kelly immediately tried to calm them down and separate them. She was afraid that the two guys would get into a fight. Unexpectedly, she failed to mitigate the conflict. Instead, she was pushed to the ground. Ava was infuriated, “What are you guys trying to do in the public? I’ll have the final say on wherever I want to go. Both of you let go!” She flung their hands away forcefully and was just about to leave with Jean. At this moment, someone among the passers-by suddenly shouted. “It’s Kelly Hensley! She’s Kelly Hensley!” Before Kelly could get up from the ground, she was already surrounded by a crowd of fascinated onlookers. She was trapped under all the flashing lights. More people gathered around to watch the scene. Damien and Selden could only give up on the stalemated fight when all eyes were on them. Meanwhile, Kelly tried hard to hide her face. The sudden situation flustered her.

The once popular celebrity had appeared at the airport and was pushed to the ground by two men. It was indeed breaking news. It took only two hours for Kelly to become the most searched topic on the internet. The title was written as ‘Kelly Hensley showed up at the airport in a mess! The photos of her falling to the ground were also massively circulated. Soon after, the netizen recognized that the two men beside her were the President of Radbury Group and the son of Oakley Corporation. As it was known to all, Selden was once Kelly’s boyfriend. Soon, rumors were spreading around saying how the two rich gentlemen were fighting over a female celebrity at the airport. Kelly was surprised for making

the headlines after four years of stepping away from the entertainment industry. Moreover, this time she was actually mistaken and misunderstood.

In fact, the guys were only doing this for the sake of Ava.

Back at home, Damien sat on the sofa in the living room with an ugly expression while fixing his gaze on Ava.

After bringing her back forcefully, they had ended in a state of deadlock. Jean had already been taken to the room by the servants of the Radbury family for a rest. The butler noticed the tension between them and was afraid that they would quarrel. Therefore, he didn’t dare to let Jean stay outside.

Meanwhile, Ava sat motionlessly and remained silent.

After that incident, the flight had already taken off and she couldn’t leave now even if she wanted

to.

Finally, she stood up, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take Jean with me.” “Sit down.”

Damien’s voice was cold and firm. She turned her head and was about to leave with her luggage. Just then, he stretched out his long arms and pulled her back onto the sofa. In the blink of an eye, he had already put his hands on her.

“Do you really think you can get away from me?” Damien’s warm breath wafted all over her face. She quickly turned her head away and didn’t dare to look into his eyes. “Damien Radbury, can’t you just let me go?” “I can’t.” He spoke in a self-righteous and shameless manner. “It’s impossible for me to hand Jean over to you: He is my life, my everything. No matter what, I will not allow anyone to take him away from me!” “No one is going to take him away from you.” He said in a deep voice. Ava was stunned,

“Don’t you want him? Then why…” “All I want is you. Ava Nagel, when can you learn to be a little smarter?” He curled his lips and gave off a bitter smile. Finally, he was willing to release her.

Ava hurriedly stood up from the sofa. She was eager to leave the Radbury household. However, before she could take Jean with her, she suddenly ran into Karen who just entered the house. She subconsciously took a step back, and Damien supported her from behind. .”Oh, that’s good of you to send my precious grandson over.” Karen said with a big smile.

She immediately wanted to see her baby grandson. When Ava was about to speak, Damien secretly grasped her wrist, indicating that she should not say anything. “Jean is in the room upstairs. You there, go and bring him down.” Damien said to his butler. He asked his mother to sit down first. After a while, Jean was brought to Karen. “Hey, this child looks the same as you were when you were a child! Come here, come to grandma!” Although Karen despised Ava, she was overjoyed after meeting her precious grandson. She immediately showed a loving and kind expression to him.

However, Jean feared strangers. He hurriedly ran towards Ava and hid behind her, refusing to stick his head out.

Karen immediately pulled a long face, “Ava Nagel, what are you doing? Don’t you want him to acknowledge me as his grandmother?”
