Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

After speaking, he patted Valentina’s head. “Uncle is leaving now. You be good for your auntie here, okay? Uncle will pick you up for kindergarten tomorrow.”

Valentina nodded obediently. “Okay, bye–bye, Uncle.”

Xavier nodded, glanced at Aveline, and turned to leave.

Valentina was all smiles, looking very happy as she walked around the living room, looking at this and that, and said,

“Auntie, this place looks like an office.”

Aveline took off her coat and smiled. “It is my office. My friends and I opened a studio here to design things.”

Valentina’s eyes widened. “Auntie, do you live in your office?

Is the office your home?”

Aveline hummed in agreement. “I’m just staying here for now. Maybe I’ll buy a house to live in later.”

Valentina didn’t understand and looked confused. “Auntie, didn’t you tell me that you and Uncle bought a really big villa, and that you’d take me there to play once it was renovated?”

When Xavier had just bought the villa at Parkview Estates, Aveline had indeed told Valentina this. Hearing her bring it up now, Aveline felt a mix of complicated emotions.

She gave a faint smile. “It’s already renovated. You can ask your uncle to take you to play there some other day. I won’t be going anymore.”

Valentina blinked, still not understanding. “Why? Don’t you like the villa anymore, Auntie?

If you don’t like it, just have Uncle buy one you do like. Uncle is very rich.”

Hearing this, Aveline couldn’t help but let out a laugh, though it was tinged with a bit of bitterness.

The complex feelings involved were hard for her to explain to a five–year–old child.

“It’s late, Valentina. I’ll help you with your bath, and then we’ll go to sleep.”

Valentina didn’t bring any clothes, but luckily Aveline had disposable underwear at home, and she found a clean nightgown of hers for Valentina to sleep in.

Valentina’s clothes were put in the washing machine overnight to be washed and dried, so they would be ready to wear tomorrow.

Aveline’s bed was a single, but since she was quite slim and Valentina was just a child, it wasn’t crowded for the two

of them.

Valentina snuggled into Aveline’s arms, giggling, and said, “Aveline, you smell so good.”

Aveline found the child amusing. She didn’t even wear perfume; at most, she smelled of body wash right after a shower, yet the child often said she smelled good..

Children fall asleep easily. No matter how excited Valentina was, after a few words with Aveline, she grew sleepy and fell asleep without a sound.

The next morning, Aveline got up early to make breakfast for Valentina, then woke her

The little one was reluctant to get out of bed, but when Aveline said, “You’re going to be late for school,” she sat up, rubbing her eyes.

Aveline smiled slightly, thinking how easy this child was to care for.

It would be nice if she could have such a cute and well–behaved daughter in the future.

As this thought suddenly occurred to her, Xavier’s face flashed in Aveline’s mind, and her heart ached slightly.

It wasn’t that she was still hung up on Xavier, but she remembered that she had once wanted to have a child for him.

Because she saw Xavier doted on Valentina more than Mason, she had asked him if he preferred girls. He had replied coldly at the time, “Whatever. A boy or a girl, it’s all the same.”

Whatever, a boy or a girl, it’s all the same…

Combined with his cold demeanor, it probably meant that a child born to Aveline, not the beloved woman he hoped for, was why it was all the same to him, boy or girl.
