Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

After all, if there was any buzz online, Xavier’s assistants, secretaries, and PR team would spot it and report it to him immediately.

Lauren’s voice came from the living room, “Is Xavier back?

Why isn’t he coming in?”

Xavier didn’t ask the butler any more questions, leading Valentina inside by the hand.

Valentina wriggled her hand free and ran happily toward Rupert, “Great–Grandpa, I’m back!”

Rupert, who had been scowling, immediately broke into a smile when he heard Valentina’s voice,

“Valentina’s back! Come here, quick, and let me ask you, did you have fun?”

Once he had Valentina settled in his arms, Rupert’s face darkened again, and he shot Xavier a cold glance.

Xavier didn’t care. He sat down calmly. The butler poured him some tea, and he took a couple of sips.

Lauren saw Leona getting restless and quickly gave her a look, worried she’d say something to anger Rupert and drag Xavier into it.

Leona had found a chance to badmouth Aveline, so there was no way she’d let it go. Besides, she had promised Josephine that she would never let Aveline’s identity as Mrs. Beltran be announced at Rupert’s birthday banquet.

“Xavier, have you seen the stuff online about Aveline and Sebastian?”

Xavier said flatly, “It’s all made up.‘

Leona scoffed, “Don’t lie to yourself just to save face.

I don’t think Aveline has any feelings for you anymore. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be talking about divorce.”

Rupert said in a deep voice, “The child is right here. What are you talking about?”

Valentina blinked, looked at Xavier, then looked up at Rupert and said, “Great–grandpa, Auntie said she doesn’t like Uncle.”

Rupert froze.

Xavier lowered his eyes and drank his tea without a word. After all, Aveline had indeed told Valentina that, so he couldn’t deny it.

Leona was delighted. “Did Auntie tell you that herself?”

Valentina nodded. “Yeah, when Auntie and Uncle took me to the night market, she told me herself.”

“Auntie also said that even if you’re married, you can still get a divorce. Sigh, poor Uncle. He’s going to lose his pret- ty wife.”

As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed, feeling that her uncle was very pitiful.

Rupert’s brows furrowed tightly as he stared at Xavier with a grim face.

Leona was even more pleased. “See? Look! That Aveline told the truth, and you still say it’s all made up.”

Lauren said angrily, “What is wrong with Aveline, saying things like that in front of a child.”

Valentina sensed something was wrong. Realizing she’d caused trouble, she looked toward Xavier. “Uncle…”

Xavier said gently, “Why don’t you let Paulina take you to the back garden to play? If you want anything to eat, just ask her to get it for you.”

Although Lauren wanted to stay, she knew some things shouldn’t be heard by a child, so she had to take Valentina’s hand and leave.

As soon as Valentina left, Xavier looked at Leona and said coldly, “Can’t you just keep some things to yourself? Did you have to say it?”

Leona scoffed, “You’re my brother. I can’t stand to see you get taken advantage of.

Unlike some people, who won’t even acknowledge their own sister.”

Xavier couldn’t be bothered with her. He just drank his tea with a cold expression and said nothing more.

Leona took the opportunity to say to Rupert, “Grandpa, do you still want to announce that Aveline is your grand- daughter–in–law at the birthday banquet?

You’ll be so embarrassed.”

Rupert slammed his hand on the armrest of the sofa. “So according to you, they should get a divorce?”

Leona pouted, glanced at Xavier, and muttered, “What’s so wrong with that?
