Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705

[I met Rachel. She said you were the one who asked her and Julian to donate blood.]

Babe, I was wrong. Forgive me, will you?]

Aveline ignored his message and didn’t reply.

At that moment, Jacob arrived at the gate of the Beltran’s mansion and rang the doorbell.

The butler came out to open the gate and was taken aback when he saw him. “Mr. Sutton, what brings you here?”

Why didn’t he call ahead?

Jacob asked, “Are the Patriarch and Mrs. Beltran in?

I need to see them about something.”

The man was already at the door, so the butler couldn’t very well turn him away. Besides, the Patriarch and the lady of the house hadn’t given any orders not to let Jacob in.

“Please come in. I’ll go inform the Patriarch.”

Rupert was in the study at the time, while Lauren was in the living room, texting with a friend on her phone. She asked the butler,

“Who is it?”

The butler told her, “It’s Mr. Sutton.”

“Which Mr. Sutton?”

“Mr. Sutton.”

The words were barely out of his mouth when Jacob’s voice rang out, “Good morning, Mrs. Beltran.”

Lauren jumped and looked at Jacob. “You… what are you doing here?”

Who just shows up unannounced without even calling first?

“Is it something important?

Does Aveline know you’re here?”

Jacob replied, “It is important. I told Aveline I’d be making this trip.”

Lauren frowned at that, wondering why Aveline hadn’t told her.

The butler said to Lauren, “I’ll go upstairs and let the Patriarch know.”

Lauren nodded, then told Jacob to sit down and instructed a maid to make some tea.

When Rupert heard what the butler said, he was surprised. “What’s he here for?”

The butler replied, “I don’t know. He just said it was important and that Aveline knows about it.”

Rupert didn’t believe Jacob’s bullshit. There was no way Aveline would have something important and not tell Xavier, just sending Jacob over like this.

She couldn’t stand her father right now.

Rupert came downstairs, and when Jacob saw him, he immediately stood up to greet him.

Rupert told him to sit, then walked over to an armchair and sat down. “Have you had breakfast?”

“Yes, yes, I ate before I came.”

Rupert’s authority was cultivated over years of being in charge, and Jacob was a bit intimidated just looking at him.

But he knew he had to muster the courage to say what he came for today; after all, the loan sharking collectors were even scarier.

Just then, the butler’s phone got a message from Xavier. [I’m heading back to Entora now. I’ll be there this afternoon.]

The butler understood what Xavier meant: he would be home for dinner.

[Okay, we’ll have dinner ready for you.]

Xavier asked: [Did you give the villa keys to my wife?]

Butler: [I took them over this morning.]

[My wife didn’t say she needed help with the transfer. She’s probably having Laura handle it.]

Xavier wasn’t surprised. Aveline would avoid involving him in anything if she could.

The butler told Xavier, [Your father–in–law is here. He says he has something important to discuss with the Patriarch and Madam, and that your wife knows he was coming.]

Xavier’s face immediately turned cold. [What did Jacob say?]

Butler: [He hasn’t gotten to the point yet.]

Xavier: [Get rid of him.]

He figured Jacob was here about his debts, looking for the to help him.

Butler: “…”

The man was already in the house. How could he just kick him out?

[The Patriarch hasn’t told me to, so I can’t just kick him out.]

Xavier replied, [Report back to me on what he says.]

Butler: [Of course.]

Meanwhile, Rupert, tired of Jacob’s small talk and pleasantries, asked him directly, “Is there something you came for today?”

Lauren couldn’t help but chime in. “Why didn’t you call ahead? What if the Patriarch and I weren’t home?”

Jacob sighed heavily. “I was hesitating back and forth, and when I finally decided to come, forgot to call ahead.”

“It wasn’t until I got to the door that I realized I should have called first, wondering what I’d do if you weren’t home.”

“It’s a good thing you’re both here.”

Lauren was getting impatient. “Right, right. So, what is this important matter?

Does it have to do with Aveline?”

Jacob nodded. “It does have something to do with her.

After saying that, he picked up his glass and took a drink of water.
