Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 498

“I understand. I’ll ask her to come over for dinner tomorrow and talk to her then.‘

Xavier sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and then said to the Patriarch, “I’ve already bought two villas at Mount Ardwood, in Sunset Hills Villas. They’re both in Aveline’s name.‘

Rupert nodded in satisfaction. “Good.”

But Lauren was shocked. “Both in Aveline’s name?

If she divorces you, won’t those two villas belong to her?”

Rupert got angry. “What nonsense are you talking about? Are you wishing for your son’s divorce?”

“No, Dad. It’s Aveline who’s been talking about divorce. I’m just worried she still has that idea in her head.”

Xavier’s expression turned cold as he stood up. “A divorce is not going to happen.”

“I’m going upstairs to rest. Good night.“.

With that, he left.

Rupert shot Lauren an annoyed glare.

Lauren pouted, thinking to herself that Aveline had indeed been going on about a divorce a while back, and she didn’t know if Aveline had given up the idea yet.

Aveline was far away at Mount Ardwood; who knew what was on her mind now.

After taking a shower, Xavier saw it was almost Aveline’s bedtime and sent her à message, 【Babe, good night.】

A moment later, he thought about what his mother had said, which upset him. On impulse, he sent another message.

【Give up. A divorce is not happening.】

When Aveline saw the second message, she rolled her eyes, thinking that Xavier was becoming more and more of a problem.

But she was also worried that the divorce proceedings would definitely be difficult.

The next day, Aveline felt it was too stufly working in her room, so she had Helena push her in her wheelchair to the small conference room.

Simon saw her and said with some concern, “Why aren’t you resting for a few more days?”

Aveline replied, “I’d be working in my room anyway, so I might as well be here.”

Jasmine smiled. “Mr. Barron, Aveline just sprained her ankle. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Simon gave a helpless smile. “It’s mainly because Mr. Beltran gave me specific instructions. I can’t dare to let you overwork yourself.”

Aveline said lightly, “There’s nothing to overwork. Mr. Beltran often can’t tell the difference between what’s important and what’s not.”

Simon: ”

Only Aveline would dare to complain about Mr. Beltran like that. He certainly wouldn’t.

Besides, how could Mr. Beltran not know the difference between what’s important and what’s not?

Just then, Dylan walked into the small conference room and went straight to Simon. “Mr. Barron, my concept art is ready.”

Simon was surprised. “Done? That was fast.”

Then he saw the dark circles under Dylan’s eyes and asked in surprise, “You look like you didn’t sleep well last night.”

Aveline and Jasmine also looked at Dylan, surprised he had finished the concept art so quickly.

“I stayed up late working on the concept art last night.”

“Dylan, why the rush? There’s no deadline.”

Dylan glanced at Aveline and said, “I just had a burst of inspiration last night and was too excited to sleep. I wanted to get it done right away.”

When Simon heard him mention a burst of inspiration, he was immediately interested. “Let me see it then.”

But Dylan said, “I was hoping Mr. Beltran could see it first. Mr. Barron, could you send my proposal to Mr. Beltran now?”

Simon’s face fell slightly. “I can’t see it first?”

“No, that’s not it, Mr. Barron. Of course you can see it. It’s just that Mr. Beltran is the one who makes the final decision on which proposal to use, so…”

Simon laughed. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll influence Mr. Beltran’s decision?”

“Let me tell you, even though Mr. Beltran isn’t an architect, he has good taste. He knows what looks good.”

“Fine. Send it to me, and I’ll forward it to Mr. Beltran now.”

Dylan was actually afraid that Simon would notice the similarities between his design and Aveline’s and refuse to send it to Xavier.

Now that Simon had said that, Dylan had no other choice. He couldn’t just ask Simon for Xavier’s email address; that would make it seem like he didn’t trust him.

Simon was the project director; he had to show him respect.

On Aveline’s side, Jasmine leaned in with a smile and whispered, “He doesn’t actually think his design is better than yours, does he?”

Aveline replied, “Look how confident he is. Maybe it really is better than mine.”
