Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203

Just from her voice, Aveline knew Josephine was laying the act on thick.

She didn’t look at Josephine, but she sensed Xavier walking her out.

Aveline saw that Valentina had stopped crying and said, “Are you very sleepy?

Then Auntie will carry you to the bathroom to brush your teeth, and then you can go to bed.”

Valentina hummed in agreement.

So Aveline carried her to the bathroom.

Xavier had just come back and closed the door. “Let me carry her.”

Aveline ignored him, carried Valentina straight into the bathroom, and set her on the counter.

Xavier stood at the bathroom doorway, watching.

Aveline helped Valentina brush her teeth. Valentina woke up a bit more, and after rinsing her mouth, she said, “Aun- tie, you don’t like your sister, so I don’t like her either, okay?”

Hearing this, Xavier frowned slightly, his dark eyes watching Aveline intently.

Aveline didn’t look at him, so she didn’t see his reaction, but she could guess he was definitely not happy.

But the one who said it was his most beloved niece, and she was so young he couldn’t bring himself to scold her.

But he would surely blame Aveline for this.

Aveline’s expression was calm. She didn’t answer Valentina, not caring at all what Xavier thought.

Aveline wiped Valentina’s face, picked her up, and walked past Xavier into the bedroom.

Once on the bed, Valentina hugged Aveline tightly. “Auntie, I want you to sleep with me.”

Aveline didn’t agree, only saying, “Go to sleep. Auntie won’t leave.”

Valentina thought she had agreed and closed her eyes, satisfied.

Soon, Valentina was fast asleep again.

Aveline got up, and as she turned, she saw Xavier leaning against the bedroom doorframe, arms crossed, his gaze as still as an old well as he watched her.

Aveline walked out calmly.

Xavier followed behind her. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave?”

Aveline didn’t answer him.

Xavier added, “Don’t drag the children into the adults‘ conflicts.”

Aveline walked to the door, and before opening it to leave, she turned to face Xavier and said coldly:

“Xavier, if you don’t produce the divorce agreement by next Tuesday and book an appointment at the Registry Office to finalize the divorce, I will take you to court. I’m serious, I’m not kidding.”

“And if you’re upset about something you think I said to your niece, then keep her away from me in the future, and I won’t have the chance to put ideas in her head.”

Xavier’s dark eyes narrowed, staring at Aveline as if he were scrutinizing her.

Aveline met his gaze with determination..

Xavier lowered his gaze with a faint, unreadable smile, then looked up at Aveline again.

“Next Friday night is the Patriarch’s Birthday banquet, and you have to attend. The Patriarch said he’s going to an- nounce at the banquet that we’re married, that you’re my wife, and his granddaughter–in–law.”

Aveline scoffed, “And then announce we’re getting a divorce the next second?”

Xavier stared at her. “Don’t mess around.”

“Then you can try it. The moment you announce we have our marriage certificate that night, I’ll announce the next second that I’ve already filed for divorce.”

“That’s the Patriarch’s idea. It’s his birthday banquet. What are you trying to do?”

Xavier’s dark eyes turned cold.

Aveline said coolly, “I respect him, and I can go to the birthday celebration, but I’m definitely getting a divorce.

Next Tuesday.”

Emphasizing those two words, Aveline turned and walked out the door, not wanting to waste another word on Xavier.

The moment she stepped out, Aveline saw Josephine, just two steps from the door, practically pressed against the wall as if she had been eavesdropping.

Behind her, Xavier closed the door.

Aveline ignored Josephine and walked toward the elevator.
