Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 26

earing these words, Aveline suddenly remembered that she still had one piece of her mom’s paintings at Parkview Estates. She felt that she gotta find some time to go and get that painting back as well.

Xavier wouldn’t think he also had half the right to keep that painting and refuse to give it to her, right?

Aveline didn’t intend to tell her grandparents that she was getting a divorce, so she replied,” No need. Just keep them all. There are still many vacant rooms here. I plan to clean out one and use it as an art studio to store my mother’s paintings and painting tools. I can come over occasionally and use them in that case.”

Collin was very happy to hear about it. “Good. That’s a good idea. By the way, when you’re not busy with work, you can come and stay as many days as you want. Also, find a balance between your work and breaks. Don’t get yourself too tired.

“I’ll definitely support you in developing your own career, but we don’t lack money, so you don’t need to work that hard, alright?”

As soon as Collin’s voice fell, Paulina’s expression changed with a bit of sadness.

Aveline knew that Collin and Paulina were starting to feel sad about Bethany’s early death again.

They had always thought that Bethany exhausted her body because she worked too hard for money.

But the fact was, Bethany made money not for the living, but for Jacob’s entrepreneurship.

Thinking about this, Aveline also felt sad. But she still comforted her grandparents, “I know. I will take care of my- self, so don’t worry.”

Having Aveline’s promise, Collin and Paulina felt relieved.

They believed that Xavier was wealthy and powerful, unlike Jacob, and wouldn’t make his wife work hard to earn money to support his own career.

Aveline didn’t leave until Collin and Paulina went to bed.

On her way back to the studio, her phone rang. She took a glance and found that it was a call from Lauren.

Aveline didn’t wanna pull over just to answer this call, so she ignored it. She could imagine that Lauren must have called to give her a lecture.

After a couple of seconds, the ringing stopped.

But a few minutes later, Aveline heard a text alert. She didn’t look at it, but she could guess that it must be from Lau-

ren.

After she stopped her car in the parking lot of her residential area and got out, she picked up her phone to check the

text.

It turned out that it was Lauren’s text, but Xavier’s. “Why didn’t you answer Mom’s call?”

Xavier: “She’s your mother–in–law, and you shouldn’t have ignored her call.”

After Aveline read the text with an indifferent expression, she put her phone back in her purse and went up the eleva-

tor.

After getting back to her apartment, she took a shower, dried her hair, and then did some skincare. After all this, she finally took out her phone from her purse and saw that Lauren had texted her.

Lauren: “Aveline, you think you’re too good for us now, huh?”

Lauren: “Come to my place tomorrow. I have something to ask you.”

Lauren: “If you don’t come, I’ll make you regret it.”

Aveline didn’t understand why Lauren could be so confident. Did Lauren think Aveline still loved Xavier? Did she think Aveline wanted a divorce only because she was mad at Xavier?

Well, according to the agreement, Aveline wanted nothing from the Beltran family. So naturally, Xavier and the other Beltrans all thought that she didn’t really mean to have a divorce.

They thought she said those words because she was too angry.

If Aveline had known this, she should’ve listened to Fiona and stated in the agreement that she wanted Xavier’s prop-

erties.

If she had said she wanted, for example, half of Xavier’s properties, then Xavier and the Beltran family should’ve real- ized that she meant it.

But there were no ifs, and the Beltran family didn’t take it seriously at all.

Aveline put down her phone and turned off the light, ready to sleep.

She would not go to the Beltran’s mansion to see Lauren tomorrow.
