Rupert snorted. “But when they set the trap, they didn’t expect you to be so devoted to Aveline. Logically, anyone would have thought you’d definitely break up with her.”
Xavier fell silent
Rupert gave him a deep look. “Tomorrow is Collin’s birthday. Don’t get into a fight with Aveline.”
Xavier laughed. “Grandfather, when have you ever seen me start a fight with her when we’re together?”
Lately, she’s been violent with him, and he’s just been taking it.
“You were a bit cold to Aveline in the past. It’s no wonder she thought you didn’t like her and kept asking for a divorce.”
Xavier fell silent again.
After a moment, he said softly, “Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I’m trying to win Aveline back.‘

Xavier went back to his bedroom, took out his phone, and called Aveline, even though he knew she wouldn’t answer.
Aveline was eating fruit and watching TV with her maternal grandparents. When she saw the incoming call, she rejected it without a second thought.
Paulina saw what happened. “Was that Xavier?”
Aveline lied to her, “No, just a random number.”
Collin said, “There are a lot of scam calls these days, Aveline. You have to be careful.”

After a moment, when she didn’t reply, Xavier sent a taunting text, [See? You know you’re in the wrong ]
Aveline still didn’t reply.
Xavier had no choice but to get to the point. [I’ll come pick you and your maternal grandparents up for the venue tomorrow.]
Aveline: [Stop with the fake kindness. I’m not accepting.]
Xavier stared at the words “fake kindness,” and they stung.
[Aveline. I’m sorry.]
Aveline froze, finding the words “I’m sorry” just as stinging.
A mocking smile touched her lips as she put down her phone, ignoring Xavier.
Xavier waited for a while. When Aveline didn’t reply, he put his phone down and went to take a shower.
After his shower, seeing it was almost Aveline’s usual bedtime, he sent her a text,
[Good night.]
Aveline was already sitting up in bed, reading a book. She glanced at the message phone down.

She turned to look at the moonlight outside the window. After a long moment, she murmured to herself, “Xavier, it’s too late. I’ve already made up my mind to leave you.”
In the Sutton home, Courtney, Josephine, and Jacob were sitting in the living room watching TV.
Courtney glanced at Jacob, nudged him, and reminded him, “Do you know tomorrow is Brian Baldwin’s birthday?”
