Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 700

Aveline thought it over and decided not to tell her maternal grandparents. They were old, and she didn’t want to worry them.

But Aveline had to hide her mother’s paintings.

Opening a bank safe deposit box would leave a record. She thought for a moment, then called Xavier.

Xavier was in his study at the Beltran’s mansion. He was flying to Singapore in the afternoon to see Rachel, so he was giving instructions to Ryan.

When he saw Aveline’s call, he was stunned, then quickly answered, asking right away:

“Baby, what’s up?”

Aveline wouldn’t have called him on her own unless it was something important.

Of course, it would be even better if she had suddenly come to her senses and decided to forgive him.

Ryan was also stunned when he saw Xavier quickly answer the phone as soon as it rang and even call the person “Baby.”

Who, who, who? Who was Mr. Beltran calling “Baby“?

Aveline frowned when she heard Xavier call her that again, but she

had more important things to deal with right now and didn’t want to argue with him.

She said, “Those two villas in Sunset Glow Estates, are they mine?”

Xavier was puzzled, “Yes, your name is on the Property Deed.

What’s wrong?

Didn’t you look at the Property Deed?”

Aveline said, “What about the keys?”

Xavier replied, “It’s a code lock. The code is the one you always use.

“Are you going to move in?

Or do you want to redecorate?”

Xavier took it as a good sign, and his mood brightened a little.

Aveline said, “Since they’re mine, I’m going to transfer one of them to my maternal grandparents. You can’t interfere.”

Xavier was confused and was about to ask, but he noticed Ryan was still there, so he waved for him to leave.

Ryan was enjoying eavesdropping, so when he saw Xavier tell him to leave, he nodded with regret and walked out of the study.

Xavier gestured for him to close the door, and he did.

Only then did Xavier ask Aveline, “It’s not like your maternal

grandparents can’t live there while it’s in your name. Why do you want

to transfer it to them?”

Aveline said coldly, “So, is it mine or not?

Can I do whatever I want with it?”

Xavier replied, “Of course it’s yours.”

He had wanted to say her maternal grandparents were getting old, so there was no need to transfer the properties to them.

But he was worried Aveline would be upset, so he didn’t say it.

Forget it. After they were gone, the worst that could happen was he’d have to pay the transfer fees again. It wasn’t like he couldn’t afford it.

Aveline said flatly, “In that case, how I handle those two villas is my business, and you can’t interfere.”

“Also, if you have the keys, bring them to me. I’ll be changing the codes. You can’t enter the villas being transferred to my maternal grandparents, and no one from your family is allowed there without my permission.”

Xavier grew even more confused. “What are you doing? Are you planning to hide something in there?”

The words “hiding a man” involuntarily popped into his head.

Of course, he knew himself that it was absurd.

Aveline said, “I’m being civil and letting you know, but two villas as compensation is nowhere near enough.”

Xavier smiled. “Yes, you’re right, it’s not enough. I’ll give you whatever you want, as long as we don’t get a divorce.”

Aveline didn’t say anything and hung up.

Xavier felt helpless and texted her, [I’m going to Singapore this afternoon. I’ll try to be back by tomorrow afternoon.]

Is there anything you want?]

[Or do you want to come with me?]

Aveline ignored him and called Fiona to ask about the property transfer. She planned to store her mother’s paintings in the Sunset Villa on Mount Creston.

She was betting that Jacob and Courtney hadn’t expected her to take the paintings, so there was definitely no record of them. If Jacob wanted to split the paintings, she wouldn’t acknowledge it.

If they had been wary of her, they wouldn’t have left them in the art studio for her to take so easily that day.

Afterward, Aveline contacted Simon to take a day off tomorrow. She would return to Mount Ardwood after finishing her business in the city.

When Aveline didn’t reply, Xavier frowned, wondering why she wanted to transfer one of the villas to her maternal grandparents.
