Chapter 104
At this time, one of Damien’s men rushed towards him. “Sir, we looked for the hotel where Enrico had stayed before, and it said
that he had checked out two days ago.” “What?” Damien frowned.
“You’re here for Enrico?” Selden asked.
“Huh? Have you seen him?” From Damien’s expressions and words, it seemed that he didn’t know Selden and Enrico had in fact
met.
Was he really here just for Enrico?
The heavy feeling in Selden’s heart diminished a little. “No, I don’t even know your brother,” Selden responded. Damien didn’t
want to waste any more time, and he left with his men to search for his brother. As for Selden, he walked home in the opposite
direction. His footsteps became heavier until he finally came to his senses. He must not let Damien know of Ava’s presence here
He quickened his pace and hurried home.
At the door, Ava was pacing around the courtyard with her hands on her waist. When she saw that Selden was back, she asked,
“Didn’t you say you were going to buy food? Why did you come back empty-handed?” Selden was afraid that Damien would
appear at some point, so he hurriedly dragged her into the house. “Ava, don’t go out of the house for the next few days, okay?”
Upon looking at his nervous look, Ava felt weirded out, “What’s wrong, Selden?”
“Ava, let’s move away from here.” “Huh? Why?” She became more confused. “Although life in this town is pleasant, there are no
excellent hospitals nearby. You are about to give birth soon. I feel that this isn’t a suitable place for that.” Selden had already
made up an excuse before he reached home. He knew what he had to say. However, Ava did not suspect anything. She
caressed her belly and said with a smile, “Okay, then that’s up to you. You’re the doctor!”
To Ava, there was no difference no matter where they stayed. Anyway, she didn’t remember anything or anyone. So she didn’t
really mind. “Okay, then we’ll leave in a few days,” Selden said. “Where are we going? How about we go back home?” “You want
to go back?”
“I never thought of it at first. But after meeting Enrico and having a talk with him, I feel like I should go back there and have a look
now and it’s best to not be on a long flight. Let’s plan this after you give birth.” “Selden, you’re acting really strange.” “What
makes you say that?” Because of his guilty conscience, he did not dare to look directly into Ava’s eyes. “If my body is not suitable
for a long-distance flight, then I’m not suitable to move now. You’re clearly looking for an excuse. Why don’t you want me to go
back?” Selden went silent for a few seconds. Then he immediately thought of a reason. “Do you still remember what I told you
about your family?”
“Of course I do.”
“Your father is very biased, and your stepmother still blames you for causing the death of your stepsister indirectly. I’m afraid that
you will get hurt after returning home.”
On the other side, Damien searched hard for Enrico, but to no avail.
If he had already checked out from the hotel days ago, then he probably had left this place already. However, Damien had
already issued a blockade order. With his identity, Enrico couldn’t be able to get a ticket or train ticket. How did he manage to
escape? “Go to the information counter and check for me carefully. Enrico might have used other people’s identification.” He said
to his subordinate. That night, Damien rested at the hotel that Enrico had stayed in before. The hotel room had already been
cleaned up with nothing left in it. Damien stood on the balcony while overlooking the night view by the sea. The waves were
pitch-black and turbulent. Only a lighthouse could be seen on the surface of the sea in the distance. He had stared at the sea
countless times. It was where Ava disappeared from. Half a year had passed, and he no longer had any hopes of finding her
again. Even though he had to move on with his life, he would rather live in the memories of the past forever. There was nothing
for him to look forward to. “Ava Nagel...” He whispered her name in a very low voice as he didn’t want anyone to hear him.
His secretary, who was back at the office, emailed him some documents to be handled. Although he was out to catch Enrico, he
still had to settle those works himself.
Damien walked back into the room and turned on the laptop that was on the table.
In the mailbox was a document that required his signature. It was about a brand ambassador associated with the company.
Before that, the ambassador of this brand was Kelly Hensley. But after Ava’s accident, he wouldn’t
let her endorse their brand anymore.
Kelly’s competitors. After Ava’s accident, rumors had been spreading about how Kelly somehow offended the head of the
Radbury Group, but nobody knew what happened exactly. No matter what, it did tremendous damage to Kelly’s career.
In the past six months, her screen time had reduced by a lot.
Damien quickly signed the document and sent the mail back. After hesitating for a moment, he dialed the secretary’s number
again. “Do you have Kelly Hensley’s phone number?” “Yes, I do.”
Although Dempsey was surprised that Damien would ask for their former ambassador’s number, she sent the contact right away
without asking further. He dialed the number on his mobile phone and said, “Miss Hensley, I’m Damien Radbury.” “Mr. Radbury?
What can I do for you?” “I’m in Avarnia and I saw Selden today.”
Although he and Ava had been separated forever from each other, he felt that there was no need for him to stop a couple from
being together. Perhaps this was also what Ava wanted to see.
Looking at the sea and countless stars in the distance, he smiled lightly.

The next day.
Damien still didn’t find any trace of Enrico in town.
He figured that he most probably must have gotten out of here.
“Book a flight. We will leave in the afternoon later.” He ordered.
“Then how about Mr. Enrico?”
“He can hide all he wants in a foreign country for all his life if he can!” Damien snorted coldly.
When he was about to leave the town, he thought about seeing Selden again.
Ever since Selden suddenly went abroad half a year ago, they didn’t keep in touch at all. It was strange that he didn’t like Selden
at first, but after Ava left the world, he stopped hating this guy so much.
But it was a pity that he was in a hurry yesterday at the market. Damien didn’t have time to ask Selden about his residence.
He thought to himself that Selden seemed to be here to buy groceries yesterday, so he must live not far away from here. A man
like Selden would most likely live in a luxurious neighborhood even if he was in a small town.
