Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

After the meeting, he returned to his office. Another message had arrived from Gerald. “Fiona is rushing me to set a time, says Aveline is in a hurry.”

Xavier motioned for Claude Steele, who was about to give a report, to leave first, then he called Gerald.

“She agreed? And didn’t say anything?”

Gerald scoffed. “Yeah, she agreed. Fiona even complained you didn’t give her enough. Said Aveline is too kind to ar- gue with you, and that you didn’t even give her any shares in the. That who knows when those three companies will go under.

Is that woman trying to curse you?”

“Hmph. I doubt Aveline will actually sign it when the time comes.”

“Also, Xavier, are you really not going to show the agreement to your mom? Don’t want her to throw a fit later, say- ing you gave away too much.”

Xavier’s dark eyes darkened. He tapped the desk, thought for a moment, and said, “Tell Fiona that Aveline can sign as soon as she moves back into Winslow Heights or Parkview Estates.”

Gerald was shocked. “What? She already moved out. Why are you making her go back?

Josie lives right across from there.”

“Just do as I say.”

In the afternoon, Aveline was focused on her drawing when Fiona called. She glanced at the phone but didn’t answer right away, finishing the line she was drawing before putting down her brush.

The call disconnected, so she took her phone into the bedroom to call back.

Fiona answered immediately. Aveline said, “Sorry, I was drawing just now.‘

Fiona suddenly cursed, “Damn it. Aveline, that cheapskate Xavier is already giving you so little, and he still has the nerve to make demands.”

Aveline was confused. “What do you mean? Is he making demands of me?”

“Yeah, he had Gerald pass on the message. If you move back to either Winslow Heights or Parkview Estates, he’ll sign immediately.”

Aveline frowned, even more confused. “We’re about to get divorced, why would he want me to move back?”

“I asked Gerald, and Gerald said he didn’t know. He just said Xavier told him to do it.

Josephine is living across the hall from the house in Winslow Heights right now. There’s no way you could move back there.”

Aveline scoffed. “He said Winslow Heights or Parkview Estates, but what he really wants is for me to move to Parkview Estates, not Winslow Heights.”

Xavier knows that she knows he’s living with Josephine, so there’s no way she’d move back to Winslow Heights. But he still has to pretend she doesn’t know and mention Winslow Heights.

Such a clumsy cover–up.

Since the Patriarch doesn’t approve of his divorce from her, he wants her to play along with his act again, moving to Parkview Estates to appease him.

He might even ask her to temporarily hide the divorce and tell the Patriarch only when the time is right, so he can marry Josephine later.

Aveline said coldly, “Tell him I’m not moving to Winslow Heights or Parkview Estates. I won’t play along with any of his acts anymore. He doesn’t have to give me a single penny.”

Fiona said, “What? Not a single penny? That’s letting him off way too easy. Maybe that was his plan all along.

Aveline, that villa in Parkview Estates is all the money.”

urs anyway, so it’s not a big deal to move there. But you can’t just give up

Aveline thought for a moment. “Let me think about it.”

When they were picking a marital home, Aveline chose Parkview Estates because it parents. If she moved there, it would be convenient to visit them often.
