Chapter 161
Ma’am, I won’t disturb your work. I’ll just help the hotel prepare your meals.”
Aveline replied, “I’m not letting you stay in my room, and I’m not getting you a separate room either.”
Helena said, “Sir has already booked a room for me across from yours.
He also told me to give you this.”
Aveline took it and saw it was a pregnancy booklet. Her face grew even colder.
Xavier was convinced she was pregnant.
“Then you can just stay in that room. In any case, I don’t need you here.”
After speaking, Aveline shoved the booklet back at Helena, then walked towards the elevator with Jasmine and Ju- lian.
Jasmine and Julian had kept their distance just now, so they didn’t get a clear look at the booklet.
Jasmine asked, “What did Xavier give you?”
Aveline said flatly, “Something unpleasant.”
Jasmine snorted, “I knew it.”
Julian glanced at Aveline but didn’t say anything.
Helena, of course, called Xavier to explain the situation.
Xavier replied to her, “It’s fine. Just stay at the hotel. She’ll contact you if she needs anything.”
Then he asked Helena, “You’ve had children. Does my wife look pregnant to you?”
Helena: “…It’s only been two months, you can’t tell just by looking.
I think my wife just looks a little tired.”
“Then keep a close eye on her.”
Xavier hung up the phone and walked into the Beltran’s mansion.
Lauren was sitting in the living room and asked him the moment she saw him, “Is Aveline pregnant?”
Xavier walked over to an armchair and sat down, saying calmly, “It’s not certain yet.”
“Not certain yet?

Chapter 161
Didn’t you take her to the hospital for a check–up today?”
Xavier didn’t speak, just looked toward the stairs, because Rupert was being helped down by the butler.
Rupert also asked, “How was the hospital check–up you took Aveline to? Why isn’t she feeling well?”
Before Xavier could answer, Lauren snorted, “He says it’s not certain if she’s pregnant.”
Rupert sat down and looked at Xavier. “What’s going on?”
Xavier replied to him, “I’ve already asked Helena to go take care of her. We’ll know the specific reason in a few days.”
Rupert gave him a deep, heavy look. “Xavier, have you ever thought about why Aveline has become like this?”
Xavier gave a faint smile and said nothing.
Lauren said irritably, “Why? Because they have their marriage certificate now, of course. She’s got nothing to fear.” Rupert said in a low voice, “Don’t say things like that all the time. Aveline has been with Xavier for more than a day or two. Don’t you know what kind of person she is by now?”
Then he turned to look at Xavier. “I observed Aveline before I let you two get engaged and then married. If you have any other ideas, hmph, I won’t allow it.”
Lauren thought of Josephine. Seeing Xavier lower his eyes without a word, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said:
“Dad, what other ideas could our Xavier have? It’s just for show at most. As long as he manages the well, that’s all that matters.”
Rupert’s face was grim. “A doting mother spoils the son.”
Then he stood up and walked toward the dining room. “Time to eat.”
Lauren and Xavier also stood up and followed. Lauren muttered, “I clearly raised you to be so outstanding. How could the Patriarch call you a spoiled son?”
Xavier said calmly, “The Patriarch is old. It’s his time to enjoy life. Don’t argue with him.”
