“Isn’t it what you deserve?”
“Let me eat first. We can argue after I’m finished.”
“Who wants to argue with you? You’re the one who shamelessly forced your way in here.”
After saying that, Aveline walked towards the door again with a cold expression.
This time, Xavier didn’t stop her and just let her go.
Aveline went to Jasmine’s room. Jasmine, thinking she needed something, asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Xavier is in my room.”
Jasmine was surprised, “So you ran over here to hide?”
“No, can’t you just kick him out?”
“He’s a tall, strong man. How am I supposed to kick him out?”
Jasmine suggested to Aveline, “Why don’t we get Julian to kick him out?”
“With the two of us helping, it should work.”
Aveline was curled up on the sofa, “Alright, stop joking.”
Jasmine sat down next to her, “Didn’t he go back to the city? Why is he here again?”
“I can’t be bothered with him.”
Aveline picked up her phone and started scrolling through her Social Feed.
Then she saw Leona had posted a photo of herself with Courtney and Josephine, and the background was clearly the dining room at the Sutton family’s house.
Leona’s caption read: [Our great director Sutton’s mother is such a beautiful, elegant, and kind lady. Thanks for lunch.]
Aveline and Jasmine never had secrets from each other, and since she was sitting right next to Aveline, she saw it too. Jasmine scoffed, “Is Mr. Beltran’s older sister being serious, or is this just more of her passive–aggressive sarcasm?”
Aveline said flatly, “Of course she really thinks that.”
Then she scrolled down, not wanting to look at those three faces for another second.
“Ava, didn’t you say you wanted to change your last name?”
“Yeah, I asked Fiona. She said I need the Household Registry to change my name, but Jacob and I are on the same one, and he has the book.”
“Oh, so what are you going to do?”
“I’ll have to find a time to get it. He can’t just refuse to let me use the Household Registry for official business.
