Josephine hadn’t expected him to make this demand, and she quickly sud, “%ay ”
Navier cut her ofl. “Delete it Right now ”
With that, he hung up.
Josephine looked at Courtney, “Mom, this…”
Navior was furious. This must be serious.
Just how angry could Aveline be? Did she go crying to Rupert? Did Rupert chew Zavier out?
The phone was on speaker, so Courtney had heard what Xavier said, and her expression darkened
“Don’t delete it, it’s fine. You see? He believes it was Marjorie’s misunderstanding, he’s not blaming you.”
“If Marjorie doesn’t delete it, he’s not going to take it out on her, and he won’t blame you.”
Josephine asked worriedly, “Is this really okay?”
Courtney patted Josephine’s hand. “When has your mother ever been wrong?
Don’t worry, I know men better than anyone.”
“If he brings this up with you again, just tell him you told Marjorie to delete it, but she blew you off and refused.”
“He’s a big–shot CEO, busy all the time. He’s not going to dwell on such a small thing”
Josephine nodded, deciding to do as her mother said.
On Xavier’s end, after hanging up on Josephine, he immediately called Aveline.
Aveline was sitting in bed reading. She glanced at the vibrating phone on her nightstand, her expression cold, and ignored the call.
Xavier knew she wouldn’t pick up, but he was so frustrated that he kicked the sofa anyway.
He sent her a text: 【That painting is with me. I haven’t given it to anyone, so don’t get the wrong

That night, I told Alfred I’d find a good home for the painting. You heard me say that 】
[My older sister took that photo on Marjorie’s Social Feed. She posted it without thinking and was just spouting nonsense. I’ve already told Josephine to have her delete it and clarify 1
After sending the messages, Xavier rubbed his temples and walked out of his study,
Downstairs in the living room, Lauren and Valentina were gone, Only Rupert was there, reading a book
Lauren had probably taken Valentina to bed by now.
Hearing the sound, Rupert took off his reading glasses and looked up at him.
“What’s with that look on your face?
Did you have a fight with Aveline?”
The Patriarch should have been in bed by now; he must be waiting for him.
Xavier said flatly, “We could only fight if she actually answered my calls.”
Rupert was confused. “Didn’t she call you?”
“Yeah, she misunderstood something, yelled at me, and then hung up.”
Rupert scoffed, “A misunderstanding, really?
Do you need this old man to help you out?”
Xavier replied, “No, thanks. I can handle it. You should go rest.
་་
Rupert said, “Living apart from Aveline like this won’t help your relationship grow. Listen to me. Once the project launches, you should move to Mount Ardwood. You can have your uncle take care of things here for a while.”
Xavier was silent and impassive.
The butler walked out from the dining room. “Sir, your dinner has been reheated.”
Xavier nodded and went into the dining room for dinner,
After dinner, he walked out of the dining room. Rupert was no longer in the living room; the butler said he had already gone upstairs to rest.

Xavier walked over, and as he opened the door, he said, “Mom, why aren’t you asleep? What are you doing here?”
His mother followed him into the bedroom, then closed the door, as if she had something important to tell him.
Xavier turned to look at her, frowning slightly. “I’m tired. I want to take a shower and go to sleep. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
But his mother acted as if she hadn’t heard him, asking with a serious expression, “I heard you on the phone with Josephine in the study.”
“First, Aveline called you, then you went upstairs to the study looking unhappy and called Josephine. Xavier, be honest with me, what’s going on?”
“Are you…”
His mother found it hard to say; after all, she didn’t think her son was that kind of

Seeing her suddenly stop, as if she had something unspeakable to say, Xavier’s dark eyes narrowed, and he looked at her intently. “Mom, do you already know?”
Did his mother know that Aveline had filed for divorce?

When is the novel ending? It’s so unnecessarily long… not a single intimacy or connection just fighting and bickering from the beginning to end...
