Chapter 3
Ava paid the cab driver and ran into the manor.
After entering the gate, she had to pass through a large garden. If she were
to walk, it would take several minutes. Ava didn’t dare to waste any more
time and ran all the way to the door. She then combed her hair with her
fingers and entered the living room.
The living room was filled with the aroma of food. When the butler, Nellie,
saw Ava, she said in embarrassment, “Young missus, you are here. Madam,
the master, and the young master are already having dinner.”
Ava’s body stiffened, and she looked embarrassed.
She was also a member of the Radbury family, but they didn’t bother to wait
for her to start dinner.
“It’s okay.” Ava forced a smile. “Bring me a dining set. Thank you.”
“Okay.”
Ava stood where she was and took a deep breath. She then adjusted her
facial expression, walked calmly to the dining table, and said respectfully,

“Dad, mum. Sorry, I am late.”
Damien’s father, Daryl, gave a hum and pointed at the dining table. “Sit down
and eat.”
Ava nodded and sat down next to Damien.
Damien continued eating and didn’t even spare Ava a glance.
Ava couldn’t help feeling disappointed. She clenched her fists quietly.
The butler brought her a dining set, and Ava thanked her for it. She began to eat amid the eerily silent
atmosphere.
“Ava, you have been married to Damien for two years, haven’t you?” Karen said with a smile, but her
gaze wasn’t friendly at all. “When are you planning on having a baby?”
Ava clenched her fists. She did want a baby.
Her relationship with Damien was terrible, and things might get a lot better if they were to have a baby.
However, Damien didn’t give her the chance to get pregnant at all.
Although they had been married for two years, the number of times they had made love could be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
How was it even possible for her to get pregnant?
Ava was embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer. She couldn’t just say that it was impossible for
her to get pregnant because Damien hardly wanted to touch her after they got married, could she?
She could only look at Damien for help, hoping that he could say a few words.
But Damien continued eating elegantly with an indifferent expression on his face, as though the matter
had nothing to do with him at all.
Ava blushed, and she had no choice but to say dryly, “I will try harder in the future.”
Damien smiled all of a sudden and gave Ava a sidelong glance. His gaze was sharp and mocking, and
he didn’t say anything.
But that was enough to make Ava feel like she had been slapped in the face. She blushed profusely
because of how humiliated she felt.
“You will work harder in the future? You have been saying this for the past two years! Ava Nagel, don’t
tell me that you’re infertile!” Karen raised her voice. “If that’s really the case, you’re going to ruin
Damien’s life!”
Ava quickly explained, “I… I’m not infertile. It’s… It’s just…”
She looked at Damien again for the help, but he acted as though he didn’t see it at all. He even
scooped himself a bowl of soup.
“That’s enough!” Karen frowned and said with a look of disgust on her face, “Come to the hospital with
me tomorrow to get a checkup. If there’s really something wrong with your body, you must divorce
Damien immediately!”

Karen obviously wanted her to get a checkup to see if she was infertile.
She knew that she had married into the Radbury family through unscrupulous
means. It was only undeniable for Karen to dislike her. But now…
Wasn’t it a bit too much for Karen to treat her like that?
Ava slammed her fork onto the table and stood up.
Her sudden movement stunned everyone in the dining room.
Karen’s expression became even darker, and she was about to scold Ava.
Ava spoke before Karen could. Her voice was calm and cold. “Please ask
Damien for the reason why I can’t get pregnant.”
Karen widened her eyes. “What do you mean?”
Ava turned to look at Damien, who acted like none of these had anything to
do with him. She didn’t know where she suddenly got the courage, but she
asked boldly, “Hubby, mum is asking us why we haven’t had a baby yet. Why
don’t you explain things to her?”
Only then did Damien raise his head to look at Ava. He said in a leisurely and
indifferent manner, “Because this woman has no right to give birth to my
baby.”
