Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Aveline glared at him, her eyes sharp. “What do you want?

Did you shut the door to hit me?”

A cold smirk played on Xavier’s lips. “Aveline, have I ever hit you?”

Saying this, he pressed her against the wall, lowering his head to look down at her. His familiar masculine scent en- veloped her completely.

She had once been so obsessed with this scent, faintly tinged with a cool, woody fragrance…

Aveline pressed her lips together and said nothing, her eyes slightly lowered.

Xavier had indeed never hit her, nor would he say harsh words. He was just cool and indifferent, as if she were some- one insignificant, making her feel not the slightest bit of love.

She used to think that was just his personality, but after seeing how gentle and considerate he was with Josephine, she realized he wasn’t incapable of warmth and love. She just wasn’t the one he wanted.

Xavier gave a helpless smile. “You keep bringing up divorce. Is there any point to this?”

Aveline looked up and shot back, “Is there any point to what you’re doing?

I’ve already signed the divorce papers, but you won’t. If it’s because the Patriarch won’t agree, I can go convince him.”

Xavier gave her a deep look, as if trying to see right through her.

Aveline met his gaze calmly, showing her determination.

Xavier stared as he moved closer to her, leaving almost no space between them. His face suddenly drew near, his deep, dark eyes looking like they were trying to bore into hers.

Although Aveline didn’t know what he was about to do, she closed her eyes instinctively.

But Xavier let out a low chuckle. “And what if I’m the one who doesn’t agree? How do you plan on convincing me?”

Aveline’s face flushed. She frowned slightly, then her eyes snapped open in anger as she glared at him. “You think I’m just throwing a tantrum again?

I’m serious.”

As she spoke, she pushed against his chest with both hands, trying to get him to move away.

But Xavier only moved back a little, still standing very close as he said flatly,

“You can’t even convince me, so don’t even think about convincing the Patriarch.

You’re still my wife, and you have to fulfill your duties. That’s my own uncle, and you have to come with me to see him.”

Aveline said coldly, “I won’t fulfill that duty. You can use that as a reason to convince the Patriarch to agree to our di- vorce.”

Xavier’s face suddenly moved close to hers again. “I’m your husband. If I kiss you right here, what are you going to do, sue me?”

“You…”

Aveline hadn’t expected him to act like such a scoundrel. She pushed him, but couldn’t move him.

“If you dare, I’ll scream. I… I’ll call the police.”

Xavier laughed. “We’re a married couple. In the end, it’ll just be swept under the rug.‘

“Of course, I won’t force you. I’ll ask for your consent.

Do you consent to me kissing you right here?”

Aveline had never felt so pressured by Xavier before; it was like a mountain was menacingly toppling over onto her.

“Xavier, what are you trying to do?

You don’t even want to kiss me. What are you up to?”

Xavier’s dark eyes watched her intently. “What makes you so sure I don’t want to kiss you?”

Hearing that, Aveline’s heart immediately started pounding.

She knew Xavier was definitely up to something, but he wasn’t like this before. To make her fulfill her duties as his wife, he was actually resorting to tricks, just like he did in business.
