As if he was afraid of touching the wound on her wrist, he raised her hands above her head. He then held the back of her head with his other hand so that she couldn’t turn away or resist. Ava wanted to bite his tongue forcefully, but Damien saw it coming and moved his tongue away agilely, prying her teeth open while he was at it. Damien’s mouth tasted faintly like mint. Ava was wondering why he ate a mint candy, but soon, she became out of breath from the kiss. Her mind stopped working, and she subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck so that she wouldn’t fall to the floor when she stepped backwards. He chuckled and pressed her against the wall. The kiss was long and passionate. When he let her go, she took deep breaths after deep breaths, and she was blushing profusely. Damien seemed to be in a good mood. He didn’t ask her anything else about Selden. Instead, he flashed a half-smile and asked, “Ava, do you want to sleep?” “I…Of course I want to sleep!”

Now that Damien was no longer holding her, she hurried up the stairs to her room on the first floor. Afraid that he would do something to her, she added, “I want to sleep alone!” She entered the room and closed the door. Damien didn’t follow her to the room. Ava leaned against the door and panted loudly. Why was her heart beating so rapidly? Her hormones must have been messed up due to the pregnancy

The next day, Ava went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup as planned. Damien did not go with her. He told her early in the morning that he had to catch a plane for a business trip in another city. At the hospital. Accompanied by a servant from the Radbury family’s residence, she completed her blood test. They then walked towards the gynecology department for the prenatal checkup. Ava recovered pretty well, but as she was badly injured in the early stages of her pregnancy, she was a little weaker compared to other pregnant women. There were many drugs that she couldn’t take, which meant that she had to endure many pregnancy side effects. “Look, it’s Kelly Hensley!” When they were about to leave the hospital, Ava saw a commotion in the crowd. She looked in the direction everyone was

staring and saw a woman clad in luxury brands from head to toe entering the door. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses. With her pair of stilettos, she had a stylish way of walking. She emanated a powerful aura indeed. “It’s really Kelly Hensley! Why is she at the hospital?”

The crowd whispered among themselves. Ava thought about it for a while before finally remembering who this woman was Kelly was a well-known actress, and she had been in the industry since she was a child Even though she was only a little over twenty years old, she had been famous for more than ten years. She had won awards ranging from the best rookie award to the best actress award. She could be said to be one of the top stars in the entertainment industry Kelly was originally walking in a straight line, but when she passed by Ava, she stopped in her tracks for a moment. She even took off her sunglasses Ava didn’t know why Kelly was looking at her as they didn’t know each other at all. Only after a while did she realize that they were carrying the same handbag.

It was a limited edition bag from a top luxury brand, and there were less than twenty of it worldwide

Of course Ava wouldn’t spend so much money on such a thing. Her mother, Jessica was the one who tried all means and methods to get enough money to buy it for her. Her mother said at the time, “You are the young missus of the Radburry family! How could you not use something branded that fits your status? Don’t let the members of the Radburry family look down upon you!” When she found out that her mother actually used all the alimony from her father to buy her a handbag, her heart ached.

At that time, her mother also said that it was not a mere luxury handbag, and that a female celebrity was using it too. Ava didn’t expect that to be true. Kelly’s face twitched a little before she put on her sunglasses again. She then continued walking. Ava didn’t think much about it and was about to leave when Selden’s voice rang out. “You’re here.” Ava turned and saw that Kelly was no longer wearing an arrogant expression. She took off her sunglasses, rushed over to Selden, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Selden, are you serious?” “Yeah, of course I am. Look at my sincere eyes. Do I seem like I’m lying?” Kelly was so happy that she tightened her grip on Selden and refused to let go. She didn’t care that she was in public at all. Meanwhile, Selden saw Ava and called out to her. “Ava, come over!” Ava didn’t want to go, but since Selden had already called her, she couldn’t just ignore him. The three of them sat down in Selden’s office. At first, Ava and Kelly put their handbags beside their bodies. But then, Kelly snorted softly and hid her handbag behind herself. “Ava, let me introduce my girlfriend to you. This is Kelly Hensley. Kelly, this is my best friend, Ava Nagel.”

Selden smiled and introduced the two of them to each other. He deliberately emphasized the word “friend”.

“Best friend…” Kelly pouted. “Why is your best friend a woman?” “Of course it’s because I’m handsome, and all women like me.” Seeing that Selden didn’t even bother being serious in front of his own girlfriend, Ava quickly explained, “Miss Hensley, please don’t misunderstand things. I’m already married.”

Selden’s expression darkened a little, and he said sarcastically, “Yeah. Not only is she married, but she’s about to have a baby.” Kelly didn’t sense the sarcasm in her boyfriend’s voice at all. She had chased after Selden for two months, and today, Selden had finally agreed to be her boyfriend. Her heart was filled with joy. Of course, she didn’t suspect anything.

Meanwhile, Selden’s smile was as dandy as ever, as though he had forgotten all about what happened with Ava the day before. “This is great. It seems that he was just joking as usual yesterday.” Ava breathed a sigh of relief. Although Kelly had been in the entertainment industry since she was young, she was an optimistic and innocent woman. Aside from the fact that she was a little haughty, she was actually a good choice for a girlfriend. Selden had good taste indeed. He actually managed to woo a renowned celebrity. “Selden, I’m done with my prenatal checkup, so I have to leave now. Have a great time with Miss Hensley.” Ava stood up. She didn’t want to disturb Selden and Kelly. “Wait.” Selden

stopped her. “Ava, although I made a lot of jokes yesterday, there’s one thing I wasn’t joking about, and had never joked about.” “What?” Selden’s gaze was profound as he looked at her. There seemed to be a thousand words that he wanted to say, and this made Ava’s heart skip a beat. His girlfriend was sitting right beside him. What if he said something she shouldn’t? “Selden, I think we should talk about this alone,” Ava quickly said. “What right do you have to talk to me alone? Ava, you promised to treat me to a meal. Don’t tell me that you refuse to pay for the booking of the restaurant yesterday.” Selden raised his voice. Ava panicked. “You… What did you say?”

“Anyway, I emailed the bill to you. I’ve paid it on your behalf. If you can’t afford it at the moment, you can pay in installments. You don’t have to pay me any interest.” Selden flashed a cunning smile.

“Selden, you rascal!”
