He walked to the bed, lay down, and fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning, Aveline was working at the construction site, but she kept glancing at her phone, worried about the outcome of her maternal grandparents‘ talk with Rupert,
As noon approached and there was still no news, Aveline couldn’t wait any longer and called Miranda.
Miranda answered Aveline’s call away from others and told her,
“Rupert asked your grandfather and grandmother to stay for lunch. I wasn’t there, so I don’t know how their talk went.”
“But from what I could see of Rupert’s expression, and your grandfather’s and grandmother’s, no one looked unhappy. It seemed quite amicable.”
Hearing this, Aveline couldn’t help but worry that her grandfather and grandmother had been persuaded by Rupert and would no longer support her divorce.
She would have to wait until after lunch, when her maternal grandparents left the Beltran’s mansion, to find out what really happened.
During lunch, Fiona saw that Aveline wasn’t in high spirits and comforted her, “Your maternal grandparents dote on you so much, they’ll definitely support you. Don’t overthink it.”
Aveline gave a faint smile but said nothing.
Sebastian didn’t know that Aveline’s maternal grandparents were going to the Beltran’s mansion to discuss the divorce with Rupert today. Seeing she was in a bad mood, he said:
“Aveline, if you’re not feeling well, why don’t the three of you take the afternoon off? You don’t have to go to the site.”
“Take your time. There’s no need to rush the schedule.”
Aveline replied, “Sebastian, I’m fine. I just don’t have an appetite.”
“We’re not working overtime this weekend just to rush things. It’s just that the garden pavilion needs our supervision while it’s being built.”

Sebastian nodded. “Well, since you worked overtime this weekend, take tomorrow off.

Aveline glanced at Jasmine and Julian, saw they were waiting for her decision, and replied
“Let’s see how it goes. If we’re really tired, we’ll think about taking tomorrow off.”
After the meal. Fiona and Sebastian went back to the city.
Fiona had arranged with Aveline that if her maternal grandparents‘ talk with Rupert didn’t go
well today, she would go to Xavier tomorrow to get the security footage from the Beltran Hotel.
Back in her room, Aveline lay on the bed to rest, but she held her phone, waiting for her maternal grandparents to call.
The moment her phone rang, she immediately opened her eyes and sat up. A glance showed it was Collin calling.
She answered immediately, “Hello, Collin.”
“Aveline, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?”
“I wasn’t asleep.
Collin, how did your talk with Rupert go?”
Collin sighed.
Hearing that, Aveline grew tense. “What’s wrong?”
“Your grandmother and I said a lot to Rupert, but he just won’t agree to you and Xavier getting a divorce.”
“Rupert said Xavier must like you, that’s why he got engaged to you and you two officially registered the marriage, and that Xavier himself doesn’t want a divorce.”
“He said Xavier suggested you two talk to a marriage counselor, not to rush into a divorce, so you don’t regret it later.”
Aveline bit her lip, waiting patiently for Collin to finish. Once he stopped, she asked:
“So, Collin, what did you say to him?”
Collin replied, “Paulina and I have made our stance clear. Whatever you decide, we support you. You’re our only granddaughter, and we just want you to be happy.”
“Rupert tried to get us to persuade you.
