Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

I’ve noticed you’ve gotten really arrogant ever since you and Xavier officially registered the marriage.

If you’re not happy being Mrs. Beltran, then hurry up and divorce my brother.”

Before Aveline could speak, Rupert said in a stern voice, “What nonsense are you talking?”

Lauren quickly chimed in, “Oh, Father, please don’t be angry.

Leona is the eldest sister, it’s fine for her to say a few words. Aveline shouldn’t have talked back.

Besides, she’s married into our Beltran family. Of course we see her as one of us. The only fear is that she doesn’t see us as her family.”

Just as Aveline was about to speak, Xavier grabbed her hand.

She instinctively tried to pull it away, but he held on tight.

She looked at him and saw his dark, deep eyes fixed on her, telling her not to speak. Then he smiled and said:

“No one’s even been drinking, so why is everyone so fired up?

Mom, Leona, you’re worrying over nothing. Aveline taking a project with Crestmark isn’t going to make the collapse, is it? Am I that useless?”

“Besides, Aveline is currently the lead architect for our Mount Ardwood Theme Park.”

Xavier’s words clearly resonated with Rupert. His expression immediately softened, and he even gave Xavier an ap- preciative glance.

Lauren and Leona took the opportunity to back down, quitting while they were ahead. They knew that if they said an- other wrong word, Rupert would truly lose his temper.

Aveline coolly pulled her hand back. This time, Xavier let go.

After that, no one mentioned Aveline. Rupert and Xavier were discussing business for the.

The conversation naturally turned to the Mount Ardwood Theme Park project. When Rupert asked about its progress, Xavier glanced at Aveline and said,

“Next month. She’s already here working on the Crestmark project, so she won’t have to run around.”

Rupert said, “Why don’t you two just buy a house on Mount Ardwood? The scenery is beautiful. You could come here for vacations in the future.”

Xavier glanced at Aveline again and smiled. “That sounds great.”

Chapter 152

Aveline was quietly eating her meal. Hearing this, she gave Xavier a cold, sideways glance.

Ha. He says it’s a great idea, but I bet he actually hates it.

She looked away, only to catch Leona staring at her grimly.

A mocking smile flashed across Aveline’s lips.

Xavier wanted to marry Josephine, and the biggest obstacle was Rupert. What was the point of Leona having a prob- lem with her?

A waiter brought over the fish soup; it was Rupert’s favorite Wild Carp Broth.

The bowl of fish soup was placed in front of Aveline, still steaming. The moment she smelled it, her stomach felt a little queasy.

But the soup was already served. She had to take a few sips to avoid more snide remarks from Lauren and Leona, and besides, she usually loved this soup.

Aveline picked up her spoon and put a spoonful in her mouth.

A wave of nausea hit her instantly.

Aveline frowned. She couldn’t spit it out, so she forced herself to swallow.

But that made it worse. She quickly grabbed a napkin to cover her mouth, suppressing a gag.

The sound was quiet, but Xavier, sitting next to her, heard it and looked over. “What’s wrong?”

Rupert, Lauren, and Leona also looked over at Aveline.

Seeing Aveline covering her mouth with a napkin, Lauren exclaimed, “You’re not pregnant, are you?”

Aveline: “…”

Leona cried out, “No way!”

Lauren said, “Why not? She feels sick just from drinking fish soup. If it’s not pregnancy, what is it?”

Leona muttered, “You don’t use fish soup for a pregnancy test.

Aveline, what’s wrong with you?”

Aveline was feeling nauseous and didn’t want to talk.

Xavier’s dark eyes watched Aveline intently. He took the fish soup from in front of her and handed it to a waiter.

“Don’t drink it if you can’t.
