A Lifetime With You

Chapter 26

Chapter 26
Damien was startled. Ava didn’t continue speaking. “You plan to leave just like this?” he asked. “Isn’t it just what you want?” “After putting on an act for so many years, why would you stop suddenly?” Damien’s tone was — mocking
Ava raised her head and said with a smile: “Because I have already found my next husband.”
Ava only casually said that because she was indignant, but a trace of gloom flashed past Damien’s eyes. He was standing at the door and blocking Ava’s way. But now, he stood aside. Ava zipped her suitcase. The suitcase was extremely heavy, and it was difficult for her to carry it alone.
But she gritted her teeth and pushed it to the stairway.
Throughout her stay here, she went up and down the spiral staircase countless times every day. Right now, as she held the suitcase which felt as heavy as lead, her heart was heavy too. Karen and Selina were still downstairs. Ava could have asked a servant to carry the luggage for her, but for some reason, she tightened her grip on it and decided to carry it herself. “Hmph.” Karen snorted coldly. Selina looked up at Damien who was walking behind Ava. Damien merely watched Ava quietly. He didn’t step forward to help her.
Ava carried the suitcase down the stairs with difficulty. By the time she almost reached the ground floor, she was drenched in sweat. This was when she slipped and fell. Although there were only a few steps left, the fall was extremely painful: The suitcase also cracked, and some of the things inside fell out. She clutched her sore elbow and struggled to get up. Everyone looked at her, but no one came forward to help her. Ava suddenly came to a realization. Throughout her marriage to Damien, she had tried hard to be a good wife and please him. But at the end of the day, she was the only one who saw her own effort, and everyone just thought of her like an idiot.

“Stop pretending to look miserable. No one cares,” Karen mocked. Selina walked over and offered to help Ava put her things back into her suitcase. Before Ava could refuse, Damien said coldly, “Let her do it herself.”
She raised her head and looked into Damien’s eyes, which were as icy as ever. They had been married for two years, and he had always been so cold. Ava couldn’t remember any instance during their marriage where Damien would make her so happy
that she jumped with joy. But there were many times when Damien saddened her so much that she could only sit and do nothing. Finally, Ava was done putting everything back into the suitcase. She turned and left.
The next morning, the lawyer Ava appointed came to see Damien. She really did keep her word and had gotten everything prepared. “Mr. Radburry, you just need to put down your signature here.” Without even looking at the agreement, Damien asked coldly, “Where is she?”
The lawyer didn’t know the answer to this question. Hence, Damien refused to sign it. When she left yesterday, he did not stop her. It wasn’t really because she said that she had found her next husband. It was because she showed no reaction at all when she saw him and Selina standing together. That made him very angry. “Mr. Radburry, if you have any doubts about this divorce agreement…” Before the lawyer could finish speaking, Damien stood up and tore the divorce agreement into pieces.
“Go and bring her here,” he ordered his men.
However, his men couldn’t find Ava.
She wasn’t at her company or the Nagel family’s residence. She didn’t even go to her mother, Jessica Fuller’s, place.
Damien subconsciously thought that his mother must have sent Ava overseas to avoid any future trouble.
However, Karen called him and asked him if he had signed the divorce agreement. She didn’t sound like she knew that Ava had gone missing. If his mother didn’t do anything, why had Ava disappeared?
