Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421

Aveline frowned slightly. If he made a request, she always felt a bit awkward refusing him.

She wondered what it was about this time.

She answered the call. “Hello, Rupert.”

“Aveline, have you had dinner?”

“Yes, I have. And you?”

“Yes, I’ve eaten too. Xavier’s mother took me out for a walk. We just got home.”

Aveline cut the pleasantries and asked, “Did you need something?”

“Is work going well?”

“Yes, it’s going well.”

“The weather’s getting hot. Make sure you stay cool.”

“Okay, I will. Thank you for your concern.”

Rupert kept beating around the bush, which made Aveline anxious, but she tried to remain patient in her replies.

Finally, Rupert got to the point. “I spoke with your grandfather Collin on the phone this afternoon.”

Aveline was taken aback. She wondered if Xavier had asked Rupert to persuade her grandfather not to let her get a divorce.

Then she heard Rupert say, “Saturday is Collin’s milestone birthday. I suggested throwing him a birthday banquet, but he’s not willing.”

So that was it. Aveline replied, “Yes, I discussed it with Collin before. He really doesn’t want

one.”

“Aveline, I understand. Ever since your mother passed, your maternal grandparents haven’t been fond of lively gatherings.“.

“But this can’t go on You need to help them find their spirit again. They still have you, their granddaughter”

“It’s fine not to have a birthday banquet. But how about going out for a meal? We can find a nice club and book a large private dining room.

“We don’t need to invite too many people. Just whoever Collin wants to invite, and from the’s side, I think it should just be me, Xavier, and his mother.”

“I suggested it to Collin, but he was hesitant. I guess he figured you wouldn’t agree.”

Aveline listened, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Rupert, I’m divorcing Xavier. Our families probably shouldn’t be having dinner together.”

Rupert was silent for a moment, then said, “But you’re not divorced yet, are you?”

Aveline: “…”

Like grandfather, like grandson. Their logic for arguing is identical.

“Although I’m against your divorce, you’re both adults, and I can’t make the decision for you.”

“Maybe the divorce won’t even happen.

Does that mean we can’t even have a meal together now?”

“Besides, Aveline, even if you and Xavier really do get divorced, with the history we have, I’ll still be your grandfather, and I can still be friends with Collin and Paulina.”

“Let’s part on good terms. We don’t have to cut each other out of our lives completely.”

“Collin, Paulina, and I won’t interfere with your and Xavier’s marriage. You two can make your own decision.”

Aveline’s head was spinning from Rupert’s relentless speech.

Remembering the kind of man Rupert was before he retired, she wasn’t surprised by his verbal assault at all.

“Rupert, I…”

Rupert cut her off, “Aveline, you have to think about your grandparents, too.”

“Let them come out and have a happy milestone birthday celebration. Don’t let them just stay at home, drowning in the grief of your mother’s passing.”
