Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90

Then, he managed, “You…”

“Me what?

I’m the architect here to sign a contract. You’d better understand that.”

It wasn’t just Aveline’s tone that was firm; her gaze was piercing.

Thinking of her days with Xavier, when even an assistant wouldn’t respect her, a bitter pang hit her chest. Aveline raised her voice, drawing the gazes of the other secretaries and assistants in the Executive Office.

Seeing this, Claude’s face hardened, but he lowered his voice,

“Oh, I forgot. You’re Mrs. Beltran now.

My apologies, Mrs. Beltran. Mr. Beltran has someone important in his office right now. You can’t go in. Just have a seat out here and wait for a bit.”

Without waiting for Aveline to respond, he turned and walked away.

Aveline shot a cold look at Claude’s back, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

A few minutes passed, and she was just left there. No one even came to offer her tea.

The other secretaries and assistants didn’t recognize Aveline or know she was the architect for the Mount Ardwood theme park. They only saw that Leo Baldwin was unfriendly toward her and figured she must be there to cause trou- ble for Mr. Beltran, which would explain his attitude.

These secretaries and assistants kept throwing her sizing–up glances.

Aveline ignored them, scrolling through her Social Feed on her phone.

When she saw Valentina had posted a few photos of her winning an award at her kindergarten’s sports day, her mood instantly brightened, and she liked the post.

After a moment’s thought, she commented: [You’re amazing, Valentina! Looks like you’ve grown taller again.]

Just then, the sound of the office door opening made Aveline look up.

Josephine walked out with a bright smile, followed by Xavier.

Josephine saw Aveline right away but pretended she hadn’t, immediately turning back to Xavier.

“Darling, I’ve kept you from your work. You go on back, I’ll go downstairs and get a car myself.”

Xavier glanced down at her. “You didn’t drive?”

Josephine nodded with an “Mm.”

“Then wait here. I’ll have my driver take

you.‘

As he said that, Xavier looked straight ahead, searching for Claude.

And that’s when he saw Aveline.

Aveline coolly lowered her gaze and went back to her phone.

Xavier said, “Claude, have Amy drive Ms. Sutton.”

Claude quickly complied, saying he would call Amy right now.

Josephine said, “Then I’ll just sit over there and wait. My legs are a little weak.”

“Oh, sister?”

With that, the click of Josephine’s high heels approached.

Aveline kept looking at her phone, ignoring her.

Josephine sat beside her. “Sister, you don’t mind if I sit here, do you?”

Aveline looked up at Josephine coldly, then averted her gaze.

She’d already decided to divorce Xavier. Why couldn’t the other woman’s daughter just leave her alone? Something was wrong with her.

Josephine let out a low laugh, leaned in close to Aveline, and whispered:

“He really wore me out in the office just now, that’s why my legs are weak. Just let me sit for a moment. I’ll leave as soon as Xav’s driver gets here.”

Aveline’s hand holding the phone tightened.

She calmly stood up, and as she looked up, she saw Xavier still standing at the office door, his dark, deep eyes watch- ing her.

Ha. Was he afraid I’d bully Josephine, staring at me like that?

Aveline walked over to Xavier, her voice cold, “I’m here to sign the contract.”

Xavier lowered his gaze to her. “Yeah, come in and have a seat.”

Aveline’s expression was cold as she entered the office.

She had been to this office of Xavier’s before, but only once, and after that, she never dared to come back.
