Chapter 430
If Gerald asked Xavier, it would tip him off, so Josephine replied,
[Never mind, I’ll ask Leona. Maybe she knows.】
So she sent the same question to Leona.
Leona replied. You’re trying to find out if Xavier will be there so you can go see him, aren’t you?】
Josephine thought to herself that Leona really understood her, and replied:
My mom thinks my dad should go to my sister’s grandfather’s birthday celebration. Even though my sister’s mom is dead, that doesn’t change the fact that my dad is the Baldwin family’s son–in- law:】
【Of course, I also want to see Xav. I haven’t seen him in a long time.】
Leona replied. [Your family is just too kind.】
【Okay. I’ll ask my mom. If the Baldwin family is having a banquet, Rupert might go.】
Josephine reminded her, 【It’s best not to let Xav know, so he doesn’t get upset.】
Leona: 【Don’t worry, I know how to ask my mom.】
A short while later, Leona replied to Josephine, 【My mom said the is hosting a dinner at the Granvia Restaurant tomorrow to celebrate Collin’s birthday.】
[But only Rupert, Xavier, and my mom are going. My mom said I’m not allowed to go.】
[It looks like Aveline must have forbidden it. Hmph, I exposed her as a liar, and now she hates me.]
[I really don’t get what Rupert is thinking, still celebrating Aveline’s grandfather’s birthday. 】
Josephine couldn’t understand it either. Did Rupert not believe Bryan and the hospital records, and still firmly believe Aveline was Xavier’s savior?
Josephine told her mother, and Courtney also found it strange that Rupert was so good to Aveline.

Courtney said. “Elders are very stubborn. Rupert is already eighty–three, so he’s even more set in his ways. Once a younger person wins his favor, it’s hard for him to change his opinion.”
“It’s fine. You and your dad go tomorrow. Bring Benjamin and Vincent along, pretend it’s a chance encounter, and then give them the birthday gift.”
“If Aveline tries to kick you out, she’ll be the one who looks bad.”
Josephine nodded, “Mom, I know what to do.”
It was just playing the victim, and she was the best at that.
The next evening. Aveline helped her maternal grandparents put on the traditional formal attire she had custom–made for them. Collin’s was dark red, and Paulina’s was deep yellow.
Her maternal grandparents had always liked traditional formal attire, finding it both beautiful and comfortable.
Then the family left for the Granvia Restaurant.
Maria was driving. Paulina told Aveline that Maria was doing a great job, was honest and trustworthy, and a good driver.
Aveline was relieved to hear that.
As Xavier, Rupert, and Lauren were about to leave, Rupert asked him,
“You’ve contacted Aveline, why aren’t you going to pick them up?”
Xavier replied to him, “Even if I went, she wouldn’t get in my car.
Rupert glanced at him. “This can’t go on. Didn’t I tell you to buy a house on Mount Ardwood?
Live there often, see each other often, or you’ll just grow further apart.”
Lauren said, “I heard the Sunset Villa on Mount Creston is nice. Why not buy one?”
Xavier replied to her, “Okay, I’ll discuss it with Aveline.”
But on second thought, if he discussed it with Aveline, she’d just use the divorce to shut him down. Talking to her would be pointless.
He might as well just buy it.
After getting in the car, Xavier texted Aveline, [We’re on our way. Have grandparents left yet?]

Aveline ignored him.
She even found it a little satisfying

In the past, when she texted him, he wouldn’t reply to seven or eight out of ten messages. Now it was his turn to get a taste of it.
When they arrived at the private dining room at the club, the was already there. Rupert warmly greeted Collin and Paulina, saying they had just arrived too.
Rupert glanced at Xavier. He didn’t even need to give him a look; Xavier had already picked up the teapot to pour tea for Collin and Paulina.
As he poured tea for Aveline, Xavier looked her over and said in a low voice, “Is that a new dress? I haven’t seen you wear it before. It looks good, it complements your skin tone.”
Aveline: “…”
She didn’t even give him a glance.
To avoid the divorce, Xavier was becoming more and more of a smooth–talker.
He never used to care what she wore, let alone compliment her.

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...
