Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 540

“Hey, hey, why are you insulting me?

Xavier is very respectful to me, his father–in–law. He even had his assistant see me ouf

Jacob sounded a little insecure as he said this.

Xavier had said such harsh things to Josephine last night, would he really be respectful to Jacob?

Courtney was skeptical.

Last time at Collin’s birthday, in the private dining room at Granvia Restaurant, Xavier didn’t show Jacob any respect at all.

“So. did he say when he’d get back to you?”

“Well, he didn’t say. It probably won’t take long, maybe two or three days.”

“And did you tell him about the birthday party?”

“I did.”

“Is he coming?”

“He asked if I had told Aveline.

I couldn’t possibly tell him Aveline blocked me, so I just said telling him was the same as telling her.”

Courtney thought it was a good sign that Xavier hadn’t kicked Jacob out of The Croft Tower, so she said, “Then let’s just wait for news.”

On Xavier’s end, as soon as Jacob left, he immediately texted Aveline, [Your dad is having a birthday party on Friday, did you know?]

Aveline sneered when she saw the message and replied, [If you’re asking if I’ll be there, I’ll tell you now, I’m not going. You can go without worrying.]

Xavier knew she had misunderstood again. [If you’re not going, why would I go?]

[Jacob just came to see me. He asked me to help him get a government project, the one for

Eastwood Park. Do you think I should help him?]

Aveline: [What’s that got to do with me?]

Xavier: He’s your father.]

Aveline: [He’s Josephine’s father. You should ask Josephine.]

Seeing this message, Xavier knew Aveline’s resentment for Jacob ran deep, and she definitely wouldn’t be happy to see him help Jacob.

Xavier: [Fine, I get it.]

He didn’t expect Aveline to misunderstand his meaning.

A sarcastic smile touched her lips. She thought, he clearly knows he’s going to help Jacob to make Josephine happy, yet he still pretends to ask me.

Xavier asked again: [Is your ankle better? Can you walk on it?]

Aveline didn’t reply.

Helpless, Xavier had to ask Helena. Helena replied, [Ma’am says it doesn’t hurt anymore, but she thinks it’s better to be cautious and not walk on it for now.]

Xavier thought that was a good idea and texted her, [Being cautious is good. Don’t rush into walking.]

[Also, don’t go to The Blossom Gala in Kralville on Saturday. Your foot isn’t fully healed, you can’t wear high heels.]

Aveline still didn’t reply.

Who says you have to wear high heels to a gala.

Xavier: [Valentina and Mason said they miss you. Come back to the city early on Friday afternoon and have dinner at the Beltran’s mansion, or I can take them to your maternal grandparents‘ place.]

Aveline was genuinely afraid he would take the two children to her maternal grandparents‘ house, so she quickly replied,

[Stay away from my maternal grandparents.]

[Don’t use the children.]
