Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 427

Amy glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, “Mr. Beltran, where are we headed?”

Xavier thought for a moment. He figured Aveline would go to her maternal grandparents‘ house, and it would be pointless for him to return to Parkview Estates alone.

“Back to the Beltran’s mansion.”

Aveline was on her way back to the city. Hearing her phone chime with a notification, she asked Jasmine to check it for her.

Jasmine read Xavier’s messages to her.

Aveline said nothing.

Jasmine smiled. “Not going to reply?”

Aveline told her, “Just reply with ‘The menu is fine.“”

So Jasmine sent that reply for her.

Xavier saw it and replied: [Are you back in the city?]

[Going to Garden Estate or Parkview Estates?]

Jasmine relayed the messages.

Aveline said flatly, “Don’t bother with him anymore.”

When Aveline didn’t reply, Xavier decided to go to the Beltran’s mansion anyway. After all, tomorrow was Collin’s birthday, so she would probably stay at Garden Estate tonight.

But he instructed Helena to let him know if Aveline returned to Parkview Estates.

Upon arriving at the Beltran’s mansion, Rupert asked him, “Aveline is coming back to the city today, isn’t she?”

Xavier replied, “She should be.”

Rupert frowned slightly. “You didn’t ask her?”

Xavier sat on the sofa, rubbing his forehead with his eyes closed “She’s not taking my calls or answering my texts What am I supposed to do?”

“It’s just me putting on a one–man show”

Lauren, listening from the side, said disapprovingly, “How can Aveline act like this…”

Rupert shot her a cold glance, and she fell silent

Rupert looked at Navier “Tomorrow is Collin’s birthday. Didn’t you talk to her about booking the private dining room?”

“We did I picked the menu, and she said it was okay.”

“If she’s coming back to the city tonight, what are you doing here? Why didn’t you go back to Parkview Estates?”

Xavier, still resting with his eyes closed, said flatly, “She’ll probably go to Garden Estate. What would I do at Parkview Estates all by myself?”

“Rupert, don’t worry. I told Helena to notify me if Aveline goes back to Parkview Estates. I’ll rush right back.”

Lauren frowned. “Is Aveline still mad at you, or is she dead set on divorce?”

“And what about that other thing? How’s the investigation? Did Aveline actually lie to the?”

“Ugh, this whole thing has been making me lose sleep.”

Xavier opened his eyes, his dark gaze landing coolly on Lauren. “Mom, I told you it was Aveline who saved me. What are you still suspicious about?”

“Just get your sleep.”

“If Leona comes whispering to you about this again, throw her out.‘

With that, Xavier stood up and headed upstairs. “I’m going to go change.”

Rupert watched him go with a deep, somber look in his eyes.

Lauren frowned. Once Xavier was out of sight, she said, “Dad, didn’t you have Barry looking into

it?”

“What did Xavier mean by that? Is he saying he won’t divorce Aveline even if she did lie to our family?”

Rupert said in a heavy voice. “You don’t need to get involved in this. Like your son said, just get your sleep”

“You should probably talk to Leona. I heard from Barry that Marcus has been going a little overboard with his partying.”

“They say it’s for business entertainment, but Barry says there are young, beautiful women at almost every business dinner.”

Lauren thought for a moment and said, “At this kind of business entertainment, if the client requests young, pretty girls, Marcus can’t really do anything about it. As long as he behaves himself, it’s fine.”

Rupert replied. “Hasn’t Barry been to enough business dinners? You think he can’t tell what’s what? He must have seen something that didn’t feel right, which is why he told me.”

“Regarding that incident with Bryan, Barry may have been reckless, but he’s worked for our family for over twenty years. He’s completely loyal. He’s definitely looking out for Leona, that’s why he’s warning me.

Hearing Rupert say that, Lauren grew worried and nodded, “Right, right. I’ll find some time to talk to Leona.”

“When men drink, sometimes they forget who they are.”

“He’s a son–in–law of the. If he dares to wrong Leona, the won’t let him off easy.”

After dinner, Rupert asked Xavier to go for a walk with him outside.

As the grandfather and grandson walked, Rupert said, “Back when you were investigating, did you check the hospital’s security footage from that day?”
