We haven’t had a get–together in a long time.
Chapter 354
Your brother–in–law can organize another barbecue with a full lamb roast then.
Xavier didn’t reply to Leona.
He opened Aveline’s WhatsApp and sent her a message,
I’m on my way to the airport now, for a 10 o’clock flight to Singapore.
I should be back by the weekend. I’ll visit our maternal grandparents then, and after that, we can go back to the Bel- tran’s mansion to spend some time with Grandpa.
Aveline and Jasmine were at a theme park site. Analyzing the location with them were Simon, a few engineers, and also Dylan.
Dylan had just arrived last night.
He followed behind Aveline, his mind not on the site analysis. He kept glancing at her, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
When Aveline heard her phone ring, she took it out and saw the message from Xavier.
She didn’t reply, coldly slipping her phone back into her bag.
There’s something wrong with Xavier.
Before, when she used to ask about his schedule, he’d get annoyed. Now that she wanted a divorce and didn’t care. anymore, he was telling her his plans all on his own.
If that’s not sick, what is?
Standing behind Aveline, Dylan saw that the message she received was from Xavier.
He couldn’t read all of it, but he saw that Xavier was flying to Singapore.
Josephine had said that Xavier and Aveline’s relationship was bad, but seeing that Xavier was telling Aveline about his trip abroad, it didn’t seem that way at all.
When Xavier arrived at the airport and saw Aveline hadn’t replied, he wasn’t surprised and just gave a self–mocking smile.
He could only take it slow; he couldn’t rush things.
If he got angry and impulsively divorced Aveline, he knew he would definitely regret it later.
After boarding the plane and taking his seat, he sent Aveline another message: “Boarding now.”

Aveline only saw the message after she left the site and got into her car, and she rolled her eyes.
Why doesn’t Xavier just report all three of his daily meals to her?
So annoying.
She suspected he would text again when he landed.
Sure enough, a little after three in the afternoon, a message from Xavier arrived: “Landed.”
Aveline was holding a paintbrush, and when she saw the message, her grip tightened, and she almost gritted her teeth.
She wanted to text him back and ask if he’d accidentally sent her a message that was meant for Josephine.
Or if his conscience finally kicked in about how he’d neglected her before, maybe he could use it to finalize their di- vorce immediately.
But Aveline held back, deciding that continuing to give Xavier the cold shoulder was the best strategy.
A divorce battle was all about who could hold their nerve the longest.
If she replied to him, he’d have a reason to tell the judge their relationship wasn’t broken.
When Xavier got to the Singapore branch, he also sent a message to let her know.
He had dinner with his subordinates from the branch, told her the name of the restaurant, and even took a picture of the food for her.
He asked her, 【Have you had dinner yet?
What did
you eat? Send me a picture.】
Aveline couldn’t believe it, thinking that if she didn’t reply, wasn’t he embarrassed putting on a one–man show by himself?
Then Aveline remembered how she used to put on the same one–man show, and a pang
her.
of bitterness welled up inside
Back then, when Xavier got her messages, did he think the same thing–that she was putting on a one–man show, and wasn’t it embarrassing?
