Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 55

Aveline: [Okay, thank you for the trouble. I want to get this over with quickly too.]

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

When she came back, Jasmine said, “Xavier called just now.”

Aveline’s expression suddenly turned cold, and she gave a cool “mm.”

Julian glanced up at her, as if it were just a casual look, then lowered his head and went back to work.

Aveline picked up her phone to check the time. Valentina would be out of school in another hour. What did Xavier’s call mean? Would he actually be able to make it back to pick Valentina up?

Just as she was thinking, a message from Xavier arrived, [My flight’s delayed. I can’t make it back. You go pick up Valentina and take her to Winslow Heights. I’ll be there tonight.]

Aveline wasn’t going to spite him by not picking up Valentina. She replied with a stony face, [You can pick her up from the studio.]

She absolutely did not want to set foot in that house at Winslow Heights ever again.

Just stepping into that house would remind her of everything she had once selflessly given for him.

Xavier didn’t reply.

Half an hour later, Aveline left to pick Valentina up from school.

Seeing her, Valentina was very happy. She hugged her affectionately and called her, “Aveline.”

Once in the car, Valentina said with a straight face, “Uncle broke his promise again. He said he’d come pick me up, but he didn’t, and you had to come get me.”

“But, Auntie, I like it better when you pick me up.”

Aveline didn’t make an excuse for Xavier, just smiled gently at Valentina. “I’m so happy you like me.”

Aveline’s happiness made Valentina happy too, and she asked, “Auntie, are we going back to your studio?”

“Mhm, what do you want for dinner?

I can cook for you, or do you want to eat out?”

Valentina answered without hesitation, “I want to eat your cooking, Auntie. Your food is delicious.”

Aveline smiled at the road ahead as she drove. “Then I’ll make you some Savory Fried Rice and a pan–seared steak, okay?”

Valentina cheered happily, “Oh yeah!”

The fridge was almost empty, so Aveline took Valentina to the supermarket, bought some snacks for her, and then they went back to the studio.

While Aveline was cooking, Valentina was watching cartoons. A little later, Brielle tagged her in the Family Group Chat,

【Valentina, have you eaten yet?】

Valentina replied with a voice message: “Aveline is making me Savory Fried Rice and pan–fried steak.”

Brielle: 【Did you go to your aunt’s studio again, or did she come back to Winslow Heights?】

Valentina: “I’m at my aunt’s studio.”

Brielle: [Then you need to listen to your aunt and not cause any trouble, okay?]

Valentina: “I know, Mom.”

Brielle: [Help Mommy thank your aunt for taking care of you.]

Valentina: “Okay, Mom.”

Lauren saw the mother and daughter’s conversation in the chat group and asked angrily: [Where’s your uncle?】

Valentina: “Uncle went to Kralville for a business trip, so my aunt picked me up from school.”

Lauren: 【Tell your aunt to take you to stay at Winslow Heights. You shouldn’t always be sleeping in the studio, it’s ridiculous.]

[You tell your aunt that she’s your uncle’s wife. She should be living at Winslow Heights and taking good care of your uncle.]

[Your uncle works so hard. She’s not at Winslow Heights helping take care of you, and it makes him run around ex- hausted. She’s not a good wife.]
