Chapter 24 “Didn’t you know? Damien’s mother arranged for him to go on a blind date with a woman. They met
yesterday and got along really well!” Beth’s tone was rather gloating. She no longer had a chance with
Damien. After Karen found out the truth in the hospital that day, she couldn’t care less about Beth.
Beth was indignant, so she continued finding out information about the Radbury family. Ava sneered.
She hadn’t even signed the divorce agreement, and the members of the Radbury family were already in
a rush to send another woman into Damien’s embrace. They couldn’t even wait another day. It seemed
that the text message she saw yesterday was from that woman. “Ava, that woman is the eldest daughter
of the Newton family, Selina Newton. Not even I can compare to her when it comes to looks and family
background. An illegitimate daughter like you is nothing compared to her,” Beth said with a smile. “Selina
Newton,” Ava thought. “Miss Newton is a lady from a respectable family. If you have a tiny bit of common
sense left, you should quickly divorce Damien voluntarily so that you wouldn’t embarrass yourself and
our family!” Beth’s words were extremely sarcastic, and her laughter was like a slap on Ava’s face. Ava
said nothing and bit her lower lip.
Selina Newton. This name sounded a little familiar. Ava thought about it for a long time and finally
remembered that she had met Selina once during Radbury Group’s anniversary banquet. Selina was a
breathtakingly beautiful woman, and she was the center of attention wherever she went.
Ava heard that Selina’s father was a leading entrepreneur in the internet industry, while her mother was a
well-known fluid mechanics expert in the country who had won numerous awards. Her family background
was enough to rival that of Damien’s. To Karen, Selina was probably the perfect future daughter-in-law.
“Dad, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave first.” Ava hurriedly left the Nagel family’s residence. As
she walked out of the door, Beth’s mocking voice rang out. “Heh, does she really think that she stands a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchance against Selina Newton?”
At Radbury family’s manor. Damien had come to see his father. However, his father wasn’t around.
Instead, Selina was sitting alone in the living room. “Uncle and auntie went out because they had
something urgent to attend to. They asked me to wait here for the time being,” Selina said.
They had officially met yesterday. At first, Damien thought that his father had arranged for him to discuss
business deals with members of the Newton family. When he saw that the other party was a young
woman, he immediately understood what was going on. As Radbury Group and the Newton family
cooperated a lot, he didn’t embarrass Selina by walking away from the blind date. He didn’t expect to see
Selina again today. “Since they are not here, I will come back again tonight. Damien nodded politely and
was about to leave. “Hey, wait a moment.” Selina rose and stood in his way. “What’s the matter, Miss
Newton?”
“I know that it’s quite awkward that both our parents had arranged for us to meet. I feel very
embarrassed too. But if you leave just like this, it would be even more embarrassing for me. Mr. Radbury,
will you be so ungentlemanly? “Miss Newton, you’ve probably heard that I am married.” “Auntie said that
you’re about to get divorced.” Selina chuckled. “But don’t worry. I don’t care whether you are staying
married or getting divorced. I just hope that you can play along with our parents so that I don’t have to go
on any more blind dates.” “What do you mean?” “I don’t like blind dates, and neither do you. But if we
reject each other, our parents will definitely arrange for us to go on blind dates with other people. That
would be annoying, wouldn’t it? Why don’t we pretend to get along and fake it in front of our parents so
that they stop pestering us?” Selina’s demeanour was gentle and playful, and she didn’t look like a
cunning woman. Damien thought for a while and decided that it wasn’t a bad idea. At least, he would be
able to pacify his mother. He nodded in agreement. “Mr. Radburry, since you’ve agreed, why don’t we
continue putting on an.act? Let’s go outside, take a walk, and pretend to chit-chat. What do you think?”
Selina suggested. Damien glanced at his watch and didn’t object.
That night, Damien did not go home.
Even though Ava was used to Damien not coming home, tonight, the loneliness was especially hard to
endure.
Ava sat by the window and tried to read a book. Even after around an hour, she couldn’t even finish
reading one page. She chuckled self-deprecatingly. Wasn’t it good that he wasn’t home?
If he were to come home, he would be back with a divorce agreement for her to sign.
The doorbell rang. Ava sat up almost immediately and rushed over to the door. She opened the door
before the servants could.
However, the person outside the door wasn’t Damien.
There was a surge of despondence in her heart.
“Excuse me, may I know if Damien Radbury stays here?” A breathtakingly beautiful woman stood
outside the door, and she was wearing an intricate dress. Her handbag was limited edition, and she was
obviously from a wealthy family. “Excuse me, who are…” Ava was stunned.
“I am Selina Newton.”
Ava’s heart sank.
She was just thinking about how familiar this woman looked, and her gut instinct was right. Was it a trend
for third parties in a marriage to come straight to the men’s homes nowadays?
Ava straightened her back vigilantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Selina merely flashed a sweet smile. “You’re the Radbury family’s nanny, aren’t you? Here’s
the thing. Damien left his cell phone in my car. I can’t contact him, so I have no choice but to send it to
his place.”
Ava felt as though she had been struck by lightning.
Nanny? Cell phone?
It turned out that Damien and Selina’s relationship had progressed to the point that they were sitting in
each other’s car. But which part of her looked like a nanny? Ava glanced down at her clothes. Although
she wasn’t wearing makeup at home, and she wasn’t as well-dressed as Selina, her pyjamas cost more
than 10,000USD and was from a luxury brand. What kind of nanny wore such expensive pyjamas? “Well,
Miss Newton, you might have misunderstood. I’m not a nanny…” Compared to the fact that Selina was
sending Damien’s cell phone over, she was more bothered over Selina mistaking her for a nanny. Selina
immediately smiled apologetically. “Oh, I’m so sorry. Then, you must be the legendary Miss Nagel. I was
just wondering why the Radbury family has such a young and beautiful nanny.” “The legendary Miss
Nagel?” “Yes. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m glad to have the chance to meet you today!” Selina was so
gentle and polite that even though Ava was extremely annoyed, she had no reason to fly into a rage at
all.
As the two women shook hands, Damien parked his car in front of the door.
“What are you doing?”
Damien’s expression froze when he saw that the two women were standing together the moment he got
out of the car.
Selina was about to say something when Ava walked over to Damien and took his arm. “I was just joking
with Miss Nagel. We are at the Radbury family’s residence, but she didn’t realize that I’m your wife. Isn’t
it funny?”
