Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 88

So it was no wonder Fiona would exclaim that Aveline and Sebastian had picked out the gift together.

Aveline looked at Sebastian in surprise, thinking, what a coincidence.

But then again, Sebastian definitely knew Fiona liked pearls, so picking a limited edition from the same brand and de- signer wasn’t that strange.

Sebastian laughed, “It just so happens that Aveline and I both guessed what was on your mind.”

Fiona chuckled. “Wow, now I have a matching set.

Aveline, come on, help me put it on.”

Seeing how happy she was, Aveline helped her pin on the brooch, and after Fiona took off her old earrings, she helped her put on the new ones.

Josephine’s eyes flickered as she glanced at Xavier. He had his eyes lowered, gently swirling the wine in his glass, seemingly completely uninterested that Aveline and Sebastian had chosen limited edition pearl jewelry from the same brand and designer.

Josephine smiled faintly.

Xavier couldn’t wait for some man to come and sweep Aveline away so he could be free of her. Why would he mind?

The closer Aveline got to other men, the more reason Xavier would have to file for divorce.

Gerald and Josephine were on the same page, and they exchanged a knowing glance.

Then, he said to Xavier, “Buddy, looks like Fiona isn’t happy with us. She doesn’t even appreciate our gift. Let’s just go back next door and get properly drunk.”

Xavier looked up with a faint smile. “It’s Fiona’s birthday party. What’s with the passive–aggressive sarcasm?

Alright, let’s go.”

Fiona, of course, heard them but paid them no mind, whispering to Aveline, “They should’ve left ages ago.”

Aveline gave a faint smile.

Fiona wasn’t just a partner at Beacon; she was also Sebastian’s cousin. Xavier definitely had to show up and give her some face.

But Fiona was fiercely loyal, and she had grown cold toward Xavier for Aveline’s sake.

So she advised, “Fiona, I’ll be completely out of his life soon anyway. You don’t need to make things so tense with

him. After all, the is a major client for Beacon.”

Fiona pursed her lips. “If he didn’t always have Josephine attached to his hip like an accessory, I wouldn’t be so an- noyed with him.”

She hadn’t even invited Josephine, but Xavier brought her along anyway, even paid for her expensive gift, and flaunt- ed their relationship at the party. It was clearly meant to get under Aveline’s skin.

His intentions were malicious.

Aveline lowered her gaze, picked up her wine glass, and took a sip.

Xavier’s goal wasn’t to make Fiona annoyed with him and Josephine; it was to annoy her.

A sarcastic smile touched Aveline’s lips.

Xavier was still worried, afraid she wouldn’t agree to the divorce.

Although Sebastian was discussing the progress of the design plans with Jasmine and Julian, his eyes kept drifting to- ward Aveline and Fiona.

Judging by the change in their expressions, he figured they were talking about Xavier and Josephine again.

Sebastian was a sharp businessman, after all. He’d been keeping an eye on Xavier and could tell that while Xavier seemed nonchalant, he was actually watching Aveline.

He just didn’t know what the intention behind it was.

After all, Xavier and Josephine weren’t just being flirty; anyone could see she was his woman.

Heh, did Xavier want to have his cake and eat it too, keeping both a wife and a mistress?

Sebastian had heard from Fiona that Aveline had once saved Xavier’s life. Lauren was very superstitious and consid- ered her Xavier’s Guardian Angel, and Rupert was also very fond of Aveline.

He guessed the two elders of the wouldn’t approve of Xavier getting a divorce.

Around midnight, most of the guests had left, and the private dining room grew quiet.
