As she was leaning over to look, footsteps approached, and a familiar masculine scent enveloped her.

Aveline knew it was Xavier behind her, but she pretended not to and ignored him.

Xavier said calmly, “You could have just told me directly that Sebastian was bringing you. You didn’t have to put Mi- randa in a difficult position. She didn’t even dare to pass on your message, just apologized and hung up.

Aveline thought he talked too much and was annoyed, but she didn’t want to engage with him, lest he really think she still cared about him.

“That premium oolong tea is from Collin’s private collection, isn’t it?

Collin rarely drinks it himself, but you generously gave a whole tin to Mr. Jenkins.”

The tea was indeed something Collin treasured and wouldn’t normally bring out. But Aveline knew that Collin would be more than happy for it to be given to Alfred, the painter her mother admired so much.

Collin treasured that tea. But since Xavier was his grandson–in–law, Collin had served it to him on a rare visit. That’s how he recognized it.

Aveline said coldly, “My grandfather is very happy for it to be given to Mr. Jenkins. It’s better than it being wasted on someone heartless.”

Xavier leaned against a thick tree trunk, his long legs straight, arms crossed over his chest. He watched Aveline’s slender back, his dark eyes deep.

Aveline noticed he had gone silent. If not for the faint scent of his presence, she would have thought he’d left. After a moment, Xavier let out a low chuckle. “This ‘heartless person‘… you’re not talking about me, are you?”

A sneer flickered across Aveline’s lips, but she said nothing.

“Are these flowers pretty?

Do you like them?

Should we plant some at Parkview Estates?”

Just as Aveline was wondering why Xavier was acting like he was trying to please her, Josephine’s voice rang out,

“Xav, sis, what are you two doing all the way out here?”

“Oh, these flowers are so pretty! What are they, sis?”

As she spoke, Josephine was already standing next to Aveline, and she nudged Aveline’s arm with her own.

Aveline was instantly disgusted and shoved Josephine away forcefully.

Josephine cried out “Ah!“, stumbled, and very conveniently fell towards Xavier.

Xavier grabbed Josephine’s shoulder with one hand and steadied her, stopping her from falling into his arms.

But he was staring at Aveline, his eyes as dark as ink and unreadable in the night.

Aveline knew that pushing Josephine had made Xavier angry.

A sneer touched her lips. “My mom only had me. Someone just popped up calling me sister, it scared me half to death. I thought I was seeing a ghost.”

After saying that, Aveline walked away with a cold expression.

Xavier watched Aveline’s retreating back, his dark eyes heavy.

Josephine saw this, and her hands by her side couldn’t help but clench into fists.

But she spoke in an aggrieved tone, “Does my sister hate me that much?”

“She almost pushed me over. It would have been so embarrassing, here at Mr. Jenkins’s house.”

Xavier lowered his eyes and thought for moment, then turned to Josephine and said flatly, “Since she doesn’t like you, you should stay away from her.”

Josephine couldn’t figure out if there was a deeper meaning to Xavier’s words, or if he thought her deliberate attempts to get close to Aveline were contrived.

But a bitter smile appeared on her face. “Okay, Xav, I’ll try to stay away from my sister in the future.”

“My mom told me to get on good terms with my sister. After all, we’re the closest family each other has in the world, but my sister… sigh, never mind.”

Xavier said flatly, “Let’s go back.”

With that, he walked back toward the tea table.

Josephine’s sudden cry naturally startled the others, and everyone looked over.
