Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 43

Aveline didn’t want to waste energy wondering if Xavier was really trying to gross her out, but she knew Valentina would eat croissants, just never Steamed Rice Cake.

Finding the door shut in his face, Xavier paused, his dark eyes narrowed, and then he smiled.

Valentina looked up at him, “Uncle, what are you laughing at?”

Xavier said, “I’m laughing at your auntie.”

“Why are you laughing at Auntie? Is it because she doesn’t like the breakfast you bought?”

Xavier led Valentina by the hand toward the elevator, answering her dismissively, “Yeah, maybe.”

“Uncle, the Steamed Rice Cake isn’t as good as the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. I like Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and so does Auntie. She doesn’t like Steamed Rice Cake.”

“Yeah, Uncle gets it.”

“So don’t buy Steamed Rice Cake again, okay?”

Xavier led Valentina into the elevator and just gave a faint “mhm.”

It was Monday. Not long after Xavier picked up Valentina, Jasmine and Julian arrived at the studio.

Aveline told them she had dinner with Sebastian last night, and he was very pleased with the initial designs and would definitely give them the project.

Jasmine and Julian were overjoyed.

By the way, Bernard is back in the country today. Has he contacted you about when to meet with the?”

Aveline shook her head, “Not yet, but he should contact me today.

Since Sebastian has already approved the Crestmark design, let’s start fleshing out the details.”

So the three of them got to work.

Around three in the afternoon, Bernard called Aveline. He said he had landed in Entora, and the had checked him into the Beltran Hotel. He asked the three of them to join him for dinner there tonight.

Aveline naturally agreed. She understood that Bernard wanted to meet with her first before recommending her to the.

Around five o’clock, Xavier called. Aveline glanced at her phone but didn’t pick up.

Jasmine was sitting next to Aveline, and since her phone was right beside Aveline’s, she instinctively glanced over

too.

“Xavier?

You’re not going to answer?”

Aveline said flatly, “I’m not answering.”

Jasmine nodded, “Probably for the best. It’s never good news when he calls.

But, doesn’t it seem like he’s been calling and texting you a lot more since you asked for a divorce?”

Julian glanced over at them, his gaze finally resting on Aveline’s face with a heavy look.
