Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Valentina thought she had lowered her voice, but Josephine still heard her. Her face immediately darkened, and she clenched her fists.

Xavier thought about what Valentina had said to Aveline last night while brushing her teeth, and patted her head help- lessly.

“Aunt Josie isn’t riding with us. She has her own car.”

Then he turned back to Josephine and said, “We’re leaving now.”

Josephine immediately put on a smile. “Okay, see you in the city.”

Xavier got into the black Bentley with Valentina, and the car drove out of the hotel parking lot.

He took out his phone and called Gerald.

After a moment, Gerald finally answered, clearly having just woken up. “It’s the weekend, you know that?”

Xavier said coolly, “That agreement needs more clauses. Get it to me by Monday.”

Gerald quickly asked, “Why the rush?

What are we adding?”

Xavier replied, “Work over the weekend to get it done. I’ll text you what to add later.”

Aveline drove into the city and went straight to her maternal grandparents‘ house.

Collin and Paulina knew she was coming today, so they had prepared plenty of her favorite snacks and fruits, and even had Miranda make her favorite dishes for lunch.

Aveline saw that her grandparents looked well and were in good spirits, and knew that Jacob hadn’t come to bother them about her hitting Josephine.

Paulina touched Aveline’s face. “Have you lost weight?”

Aveline noticed Miranda give her an unnatural glance, but she kept a straight face and replied to her grandmother with a smile,

“I’m still eating three meals a day. I’m just busy at the construction site, so I’m burning more energy. I might have lost a pound or two.”

“It looks like more than a pound or two. It must be several pounds.

Since you’re burning so much energy, you should eat more than usual.”

Aveline nodded. “Okay, I know, Grandma. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself.”

Seeing her granddaughter being obedient, Paulina nodded in satisfaction. “By the way, before you got here, the’s but- ler dropped off an invitation. He said Rupert is holding a birthday banquet on Friday night and invited your grandfa- ther and me to attend.”

Aveline didn’t expect the to move so quickly; the invitations were already sent out.

Collin and Paulina saw Aveline’s indifferent expression, exchanged a look, and Collin asked,

“Aveline, what’s wrong?

Are you worried about the birthday gift?

You can pick from my antiques…”

Aveline quickly replied to her grandfather, “I’ll take care of the birthday gift. You don’t need to worry about it.”

“I was just thinking, if you and Grandma don’t want to go, you don’t have to. I can go by myself.”

Collin and Paulina were surprised. The elderly couple exchanged another look, and Paulina grabbed Aveline’s hand.

“Aveline, we’re the bride’s side of the family. How could we not attend the birthday banquet for the patriarch of your husband’s family?”

“Besides, when the’s butler delivered the invitation, he said they’re going to introduce you to the guests that night and announce that you and Xavier have officially registered the marriage.”

If Xavier couldn’t produce the divorce papers by Tuesday, Aveline would file for divorce in court, and the would defi- nitely not let her appear at Rupert’s birthday banquet on Friday night.

Aveline said, “I’m just worried that Jacob will be there too, and you’ll be unhappy if you see him.”

Paulina smiled. “You don’t have to worry about that. The butler told us that Rupert has already given instructions that Jacob, Courtney, and her daughter are absolutely not allowed into the’s inner circle that night.”

Aveline was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Rupert to have been so considerate of her grandparents.

She said perfunctorily, “We’ll see when the time comes. If you still want to go, then we’ll go.”
