Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742

Xavier replied to Lauren, “Mom, my sister is already causing me trouble, please don’t you start too. I’ll handle things between me and Aveline.”

“I’m the one who wronged her, not the other way around. I’m atoning for it.”

Lauren was shocked. “Atoning for what?”

Then she asked worriedly, “Xavier, you didn’t really… with that illegitimate daughter of Jacob’s…”

Xavier’s expression darkened. “No. Don’t let your imagination run wild.

It’s just a misunderstanding between Aveline and me.”

“Where’s the Patriarch? I have something to talk to him about.”

“He went out for a walk because he’s annoyed with your sister.”

Xavier went into the dressing room, changed his clothes, and left to find Rupert.

Rupert was strolling along a small alley, and the neighbors he passed greeted him respectfully.

The butler followed a few steps behind him.

Xavier walked up and fell into step beside Rupert, who gave him a sideways glance.

“Just teach Leona a lesson. Go easy on Marcus.”

Xavier replied, “I know what I’m doing.”

“We’re going to Mount Ardwood this weekend. You should be the one to personally invite Collin and Paulina.”

Rupert looked at him again. “I’m an old man, and you’re still ordering me around.”

Xavier chuckled, “Unless you want me to get a divorce.”

On Thursday night, Aveline was reading in her room when Paulina called, and she answered right away.

“Paulina.”

“Aveline, have you had dinner?”

“I have, I’m already back from my walk.”

“Well, Aveline, Rupert came over today and had dinner with us.”

Aveline frowned when she heard that, wondering what Xavier had put Rupert up to at her grandparents‘ house this time

She asked, “What does Xavier want now?”

Paulina replied, “Rupert said we’re all going to Mount Ardwood tomorrow afternoon for a few days. His whole family is going, young and old.”

Aveline’s frown deepened. She thought, Xavier still hasn’t given up.

“This has to be Xavier’s idea. Don’t pay any attention to him.”

Paulina was quiet for a moment, then said, “It’s not that your grandfather and I have to go with them. It’s just that we’re getting older, and while we can still get around, we wanted to see the projects you’ve worked on.

“One is for the Crestmark, and the other is for the.”

“You said the Summit Adventure Park project hasn’t started yet, but I hear the one for the Crestmark is almost done, and it’s supposed to be beautiful.”

Hearing this, Aveline felt a pang in her heart. She understood what her grandparents were feeling.

Ever since her mother passed away, her grandparents felt that life was unpredictable, worrying they might collapse one day without warning.

So it was understandable that they wanted to come see her accomplishments while they were still healthy.

The infuriating part was that Xavier must have seen this vulnerability in the old couple and had Rupert go convince them.

Aveline thought for a moment and realized that even if she and Xavier got divorced, she’d still have to deal with him for work.

Her grandparents would also likely keep in touch with Rupert.

So she said, “Alright then, you can come with the. Stay in a hotel or a villa, whatever you prefer. I can show you around this weekend to help you relax.”

“The landscaping at the Country Club is pretty much done, and it’s beautiful. I’d love for come see it.”

Paulina was relieved that Aveline wasn’t against it. “Aveline, it’s good that you can think this Way”

“Even though you and Xavier are divorced, there’s no need to act like strangers. It’s good to face things openly.”

“I know, Paulina.”

But after hanging up. Aveline was still fuming and called Xavier.

Amy had something to report, and she and Xavier had just walked into the study. Before she could speak, he saw Aveline’s call.

Xavier knew at once that Aveline must be calling about the whole family’s trip to Mount Ardwood for the weekend.

He quickly motioned for Amy to leave, then answered the call. “Babe, have you eaten?”

Hearing the word “babe” just made Aveline even angrier. “Xavier, shut up.”

She’s really pissed, Xavier thought, and quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll shut up. You talk.”

“What did you tell your grandfather to say to my grandparents this time?”

Xavier asked her, “Am I allowed to speak now?”

Aveline suddenly felt this call was pointless and hung up.

Xavier was stunned.

Wait, did the call drop, or did she hang up?
