Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 440

Rupert’s face was cold, and he didn’t look at her.

Fiona said mockingly, “You tried to score points using a painting from Aveline’s mother’s collection. Rupert was kind enough to return it to its rightful owner.”

Josephine felt even more humiliated. She couldn’t stop herself from looking at Collin and Paulina, wanting to argue that her father also had a right to inherit Bethany’s belongings.

But before she could say anything, she saw Collin holding a painting–it was the very same painting of Bethany that Leona had shown her in a photograph.

The one she had asked Xavier for, the one he had refused to give her.

So. Xavier had traded a villa worth hundreds of millions with Alfred for one of Bethany’s early paintings, planning to give it to Collin as a birthday gift.

Josephine seethed with silent hatred. She shot a look at Aveline and then hurried out of the private dining room.

Amy led Jacob out of the private dining room and closed the door.

Xavier said in a cold voice, “Amy, stand guard outside.”

Amy understood that Mr. Beltran was worried Jacob and Josephine would return, which was why he wanted her to guard the door. She quickly opened it and went outside.

Rupert closed his eyes, sighed inwardly, and then said,

“Collin, Mr. Li, I was being thoughtless. I didn’t expect…”

Collin interrupted him “Rupert, you threw a banquet specifically for my birthday, even gave me the painting from Yu’er’s collection Xavier also bought back the painting Yu’er sold years ago and gave it to me I can’t thank you enough.

“No one expected that father and daughter to show up.”

“Aveline, the tea Rupert gave us is excellent. Go brew a pot for us so we can all enjoy it.”

“It would be a waste of such fine tea if the staff doesn’t know how to brew it. Aveline is skilled at brewing tea, let her do it.”

Rupert marveled at what a decent man Collin was and said with a smile, “Good, good. Good tea must be paired with good desserts, and the desserts here are quite nice.”

Then he told the butler to hurry the staff with the desserts.

Xavier said to the butler, “Bring up the custom cake as well.”

Then he walked over to Aveline, who was about to brew the tea. “Let me do it.”

Aveline said coldly, “Stay away from me.”

Xavier understood she was in a bad mood. He gave her a deep look and didn’t say anything, but he didn’t leave either, just watched her brew tea from the side.

He knew Aveline was skilled at brewing tea because she often made it for him when they lived together at Winslow Heights.

The assistants and secretaries in the Executive Office didn’t have this skill.

Drinking a few cups of tea made by Aveline always made Xavier feel at ease.

Because Collin and Paulina both enjoyed drinking tea, Bethany had learned the art of tea brewing and then taught it to Aveline.

In the past, Aveline would always brew the tea and serve it to Xavier, but today was the first time he had watched her do it in person.

Her technique was truly a pleasure to watch.

The unpleasantness brought on by Jacob and Josephine disappeared at that moment.

Xavier couldn’t help but say, “Your tea–brewing skills even have a healing effect. From now on, when I’m in a bad mood, you can brew tea for me to watch.”

Aveline gave

him a cold glance, said nothing, and continued brewing the tea.

Xavier knew what she meant by that and just smiled, not particularly bothered.

A waiter brought over the desserts and the cake. The cake, pushed in on a cart, was large and beautiful.

Collin said that at his age, there was no need to blow out any candles, and just wished for everyone to have everything go their

way.
