This looks really bad.
Xavier noticed Amy glancing at the rearview mirror a few times and said coldly, “Back to Parkview Estates.”
At the restaurant, Gerald and Josephine had already ordered, just waiting for Xavier to arrive before the food was served.
But they waited and waited, and there was still no sign of Xavier.
Josephine checked the time. It was just past seven. Even if Xavier got off work at six, he should have been here by now.
Seeing her anxiety, Gerald said, “Don’t worry, I’ll text him and see if he’s stuck in traffic.”
Josephine said worriedly, “Xav told us before not to invite him to get-togethers. Do you think he knows I’m here and that’s why he doesn’t want to come?”
Gerald comforted her, “No way. He was just saying that. Of course he wants to see you.”
“He hasn’t seen you in days. He must miss you too.”
“Besides, when I texted him earlier, he didn’t say he wasn’t coming.”
After speaking, he called Xavier.
Xavier was in the car, his expression detached as he watched the dark roadside trees recede outside the window. When his phone rang and he saw it was Gerald, he declined the call.
That guy probably had nothing important to say, just rambling about useless things.
Gerald was stunned and glanced at Josephine.
Josephine’s heart sank. “What’s wrong? He’s not answering your call?”
Gerald quickly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll text him.”
[Xavier, where are you? Stuck in traffic?]
[Josie and I have been at the restaurant for a while. We’ve already ordered, just waiting for you.]

Xavier glanced at it with his dark, gloomy eyes and replied: [Did I say I was having dinner with you?]
Gerald was stunned again, but he didn’t dare look at Josephine. He quickly texted Xavier,
What do you mean?
I told you we were having dinner, I told you which restaurant, and you didn’t say no, did you?]
Xavier didn’t want to deal with this dense idiot, so he didn’t reply.
Gerald waited for a moment, but seeing no reply from Xavier, he grew anxious. [Whatever, just come over.]
[Josie is already here. If you don’t show up, what am I supposed to tell her?]
[Bro, don’t mess with me.]
Xavier couldn’t bring himself to be cruel. After all, he was his childhood friend, and his second sister was married to Gerald’s brother.
So he replied: [You guys go ahead and eat. I’m not coming. Just make up an excuse, say something came up.]
[Don’t do this again.]
Although Xavier felt that having a meal wasn’t a big deal-after all, he wasn’t eating alone with Josephine, Gerald was there too.
But he was afraid that if Aveline found out, he’d be in a situation where he couldn’t defend himself.
Things were different now. Aveline had actually filed for divorce; she was serious this time.
He couldn’t test her anymore. If he tested her again, he would definitely lose his wife.
Right now, all he could think about was how to convince Aveline to see a therapist with him.
When Gerald saw the reply, he was dumbfounded.
Seeing his expression, Josephine knew Xavier wasn’t coming, and her face immediately darkened.
But the moment Gerald looked over, she immediately put on a miserable expression,
“Does Xav really not want to have dinner with me anymore?”

Gerald quickly explained, “No, he said he has something to do, so he can’t make it ”
Josephine gave a bitter smile. “It’s okay.
Let’s have the waiter bring the food. I’m hungry after waiting for so long.”
