A Lifetime With You Chapter 28

Chapter 28

However, there was a deep sense of suffocation in her chest. After waiting for so long and putting in so much effort, she finally had a baby. She didn‘t have the heart to take away its opportunity of seeing the world. D However, since they had gotten divorced, Ava reckoned that Damien wouldn‘t want a baby with her. Ava sneered. Damien, though, looked annoyed. “Ava, do you know what you are talking about?”

“The baby in your womb belongs to the Radbury family. Don‘t you dare do anything to it!” Damien was obviously angry, and he grabbed her wrist forcefully with his cold hand. Ava really didn‘t know why he was angry. He wanted a divorce, and she agreed. He wanted her to leave the Radbury family‘s residence, and she agreed. She even let him do whatever he wanted to the child. What was he dissatisfied with? “Damien, if you want to spare Beth for the sake of your past relationship with her, I‘m okay with it. After all, she didn‘t end up killing me.” “Spare her?” “Yes,” She withdrew her hand and smiled. “Just do anything you wish.” Damien’s expression became increasingly gloomy and terrifying. He stared coldly at her for a few seconds and said, “Alright, I‘ll spare her then.” As expected, Damien wanted to spare Beth. Ava chuckled self–deprecatingly. That was right. Why would he punish another woman just because of her? novelbin

The next day, the Radbury family‘s driver came to fetch her back to the Radbury family‘s residence.

There was no way that Ava could refuse.

Due to excessive blood loss, she was too weak to even stand up. When Karen learned that Ava was pregnant, she personally came to visit. Even though she didn‘t comment on Ava staying in the Radbury family‘s residence, she couldn‘t help but mock Ava. Ava was very weak and couldn‘t even muster the strength to reply Karen. She merely lay on the bed and rest.

“Heh, it‘s just a baby, and you‘re acting like you‘re pregnant with the emperor‘s son. Stop acting so stuck up in front of me,” Karen scolded.

But now, Ava was pregnant with the Radbury family‘s grandson. No matter how much Karen disliked this daughter–in–law of hers, that baby was her first grandchild. So, she didn‘t do anything out of line. On the contrary, before she left, she told the servants to take good care of the baby in Ava‘s womb. “Ava, don‘t you think that your position in the Radbury family is secure just because you‘re pregnant. Damien only let you stay for the sake of the baby. A woman like you doesn‘t deserve to be my grandchild’s mother at all.” Karen said arrogantly and left. For the sake of the baby.. Ava caressed her lower abdomen. The baby was only about the size of a peanut now, but everyone in the Radbury family treated it like royalty, afraid that something would go wrong. Even Damien never talked about the divorce agreement again. It seemed that having a baby really changed things. She knew very well that she was only a baby-making machine. But every since she got pregnant, Damien came home every day. He seldom talked to her. She was in poor health and was lying in bed most of the time. Damien would sit by the bed and watch her as she ate. “Stop looking at me like this. You’re making me lose my appetite.” As Ava held her bowl, she tried to avoid Damien’s gaze.

But Damien’s gaze was extremely intense, and she couldn’t avoid it no matter what. She slowly finished the bowl of porridge with shredded chicken. After she was done, Damien immediately peeled an apple and gave it to her. Was he… Was he taking care of her? Ava couldn’t help but shudder. He was treating her with so much tenderness all of a sudden, and she couldn’t get used to it at all. There was an upheaval in her stomach again. She covered her mouth, got out of bed, and rushed to the bathroom. She vomited out the bowl of porridge that she had just eaten. In the past few days, due to severe morning sickness, her body had become weaker and weaker. She even lost a few pounds. Damien leaned against the bathroom door and handed her a towel.

“Thank you.”

She rinsed her mouth and wanted to walk back to bed by herself, but Damien carried her in his arms all of a sudden.

“Damien, let… Let me go.”

He carried her back to the bed and sat down. He then bent down and held her foot all of a sudden. Ava was so frightened that she trembled. She ran out of bed barefoot just now, and the bathroom floor was cold. Right now, her feet were icy. His hands were warm, and he gently rubbed the soles of her feet until they were no longer cold. He then put on socks for her and tucked her in.

Damien was being so gentle and considerate that Ava was starting to suspect that this Damien in front of her was nothing but a robot that was made to replicate Damien’s appearance and take care of her.

It seemed that he cared about the baby a lot. In the past, though, Ava never realized that he wanted a baby this much.

baby this much.

After Ava’s mother, Jessica, heard that Ava was pregnant, she was elated. She came to the Radbury family’s residence to visit Ava. She deliberately picked at time when Damien wasn’t at home to come. “Oh, God is finally treating us well. We have spent so much effort to get you married into the Radbury family. I can’t believe that you wanted to get divorced just like that! Ava, please give birth to a son! If you give the Radbury family an heir, the two of us can live the rest of our lives in luxury!” Jessica looked around at the luxurious Radbury family’s residence and couldn’t hide the joy in her

eyes.

“Mum, stop talking about this.” Ava frowned. “Why should I? I know the Radbury family very well. Your mother-in-law, Karen Adaly, looks like a trendy and modern woman, but she’s actually super traditional. She always berated you for being unable to get pregnant. We must give the Radbury family an heir this time!” Jessica was so full of joy that she didn’t realize how pale her daughter’s face was at all. In fact, Jessica had never come to the Radbury family’s residence. After all, she was only a mistress, and all the members of the Radbury family had always looked down upon her. But now that her daughter was pregnant, she could finally hold her head up high. “Mum, actually… Actually, I don’t feel like staying in the Radbury family’s residence anymore.” “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?” Jessica’s expression immediately changed when she heard this. Ava lowered her gaze. “At the end of the day, they only let me stay because I’m pregnant. Also, Damien likes another woman.” Every time she saw news reports talking about what a good match Selina and Damien were, she couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of her situation. “Does it matter? You’re the legitimate young missus of the Radbury family! Ava, if you give up the marriage now, you’ll be just like me, raising a child alone and being looked down upon all your life.” “… But Damien has no feelings for me at all.”

Jessica was very angry. “I didn’t put in so much effort to get you married into the Radbury family just for you to give up like this.” “Mom, what do you mean? What effort?” Ava froze.
