Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 768

**TITLE: A Divorce 768**
**Chapter 768**

Xavier, already simmering with irritation from the icy glare that Aveline directed toward him, felt the heat of fury rise within him as he read the latest message on his phone. The words seemed to jump off the screen, igniting a storm of emotions.

[What the hell are you talking about?]

His fingers trembled slightly as he typed back, his heart racing.

[Who told you I bought her a villa?]

The reply came almost immediately, dripping with disbelief.

Marcus: [You didn’t?]

Xavier’s frustration boiled over.

[I heard she has a villa in front of ours. If it wasn’t you, who could afford to buy it for her?]

Xavier scoffed, his voice low and filled with contempt.

[Besides me, there are plenty of people in this world who can afford it.]

Marcus’s disbelief was palpable in his next message.

[Come on, it’s not a few million or tens of millions. It’s a villa worth hundreds of millions. How could ‘plenty of people’ afford that?]

Xavier’s jaw tightened as he shot back, his mind racing with possibilities.

[Then how did they sell all its villas?]

Marcus fell silent, the weight of Xavier’s words leaving him momentarily speechless.

Xavier pressed further, his brow furrowing with suspicion.

[Did Leona tell you I bought it?]

Marcus, sensing the impending confrontation that could arise from Xavier’s temper, quickly backtracked.

[No, it’s a long story. I heard it from a friend.]

A cold smile crept onto Xavier’s lips as he considered the implications of Marcus and Josephine’s budding relationship. He knew Marcus was anything but generous; Josephine would undoubtedly find herself wanting if she relied on him.

As the group arrived at the picturesque location, they meandered through the scenic trails, allowing the children, Valentina and Mason, to frolic freely in the open air. Laughter echoed around them, a stark contrast to the tension that simmered beneath the surface. After a leisurely exploration, lunchtime approached, and Xavier had already made arrangements at a nearby restaurant, his mind racing with the earlier conversation.

Post-lunch, they retreated to a private dining room, seeking refuge from the outside world. The meal was a welcome respite, filled with laughter and chatter, but Xavier could hardly shake the nagging thoughts that plagued him.

As twilight descended upon them, the once-vibrant energy of the children began to wane, leaving even the adults feeling the weight of exhaustion. They decided to dine at a renowned restaurant perched on the slopes of Mount Ardwood, the promise of a hearty meal beckoning them.
