But his mother consulted that Fortune Teller, who said the day before Aveline’s birthday was a lucky day to get the certificate and would also make it easier to get pregnant. So his mother insisted they had to do it that day.
Aveline went along with his mother’s wishes at the time, and he couldn’t be bothered to argue.
Xavier’s gaze involuntarily drifted to Aveline’s stomach, thinking how great it would be if she were pregnant.
So that Fortune Teller was full of crap, a complete fraud.
And yet his mother was hopelessly superstitious.
Aveline noticed Xavier staring at her from the corner of her eye, and only one thought came to mind: something is seriously wrong with him.
Then she couldn’t help but curl her lip in disgust..
Xavier laughed, then said, “Didn’t you eat well at Mount Ardwood? You felt much lighter when I held you just now.”
Aveline didn’t answer him, but she thought he was being insincere, because there was no way he’d know her weight.
Helena finally came with wrapping paper and a box.
Her mother was a painter, so Aveline had known how to pack paintings since she was little.
Xavier knew she was good at this, so he stayed out of the way and just watched her.
When she finished packing it and put it in the box, he asked, “Can I come to Garden Estate for lunch?”
Aveline said coldly, “Stay away from my house.”
Then she picked up the box and walked out.
Xavier followed behind her, all the way to her car door.
As Aveline put the box in the back seat, Xavier said from beside her, “Aveline, I’m already

reinvestigating what happened back then.”
“Someone must have been scheming behind the scenes, making me doubt you…”

Aveline shut the car door, turned, and cut him off, her eyes cold. “Xavier, from the moment you doubted me, you should have known we were over.”
Xavier’s dark eyes tightened as he reached out to grab Aveline’s hand. “Aveline, don’t be like this.”
Aveline stared at him coldly, silent, as if saying, ‘Can you hold me here forever? I’m leaving no matter what.‘
Xavier’s deep, dark eyes met her cold gaze. After a moment, his large hand gently squeezed Aveline’s a few times before he reluctantly let go.
“Drive safe, and make sure you eat properly.”
Aveline didn’t say a word, got into the car with a cold expression, and drove away.
Xavier waited until the car was out of sight before he went inside, his face slightly cold.
Helena asked him what he wanted for breakfast, and he replied coldly, “Whatever.”
He went upstairs, took a shower, and came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, drying his wet hair with another towel. He stood in front of the wall where the painting used to hang, staring at the empty space.
If Aveline had only taken the painting, he would have been a little panicked. That would have meant she probably wasn’t coming back.
But she also took the Property Deed, so it seemed she still wanted the villa.
Besides, her clothes, shoes, and daily necessities were still here.
Xavier thought about the jewelry he had given her a few days ago, wondering if it was still here or if she had taken it.
So he tossed the towel on the sofa and walked to the walk–in closet, planning to open the safe to check.
But he didn’t know the combination.
The combination here should be the same as the safe at Winslow Heights, but he never bothered to remember the combination for the Winslow Heights safe because whenever he wanted something, he would just ask Aveline, and she would get it out for him.
