Chapter 14 The other was Sebastian's , " Nice photography . " It seemed that Xavier and Sebastian had followed each other . It didn't surprise her at all . After all , they must have crossed paths in business , with both competition and cooperation between them . Still , Xavier had never liked or commented on her Instagram posts before . This was unprecedented . Aveline wondered , " Did he do it on purpose ? " No , he didn't like my post , just the comments . " That mutual friend knew about her relationship with Xavier and had even joked about how close they were . His comment was just teasing , implying that if she'd gone to the night market with Xavier , she must have pestered him to take a photo together . Because he would never be willing to do it voluntarily . Over the past few years , she and Xavier had never taken photos alone . The only pictures of them together were from the Beltran family gathering . Aveline shared posts occasionally , yet Xavier never posted a thing . His individual Instagram page was completely empty . She'd even wondered if he'd blocked her . Maybe he posted things only Josephine could see . Aveline never knew . And she would never follow Josephine on Instagram . She assumed Xavier had liked the mutual friend's comment , probably because it mocked her . As for liking Sebastian's ? Maybe it was just a casual gesture , a way to say hello .

He didn't recognize Aveline , assuming Xavier was just being a gentleman , offering cupcakes to the two ladies . Just then , Josephine trotted over to the stall . She looked up at Xavier with a smile . " Darling , are the cupcakes ready ? I've been craving them so bad . " Xavier hummed in response , " They're ready . " Hearing that , Josephine glanced at the chef . And when she saw him set two boxes aside , she immediately asked , " Why are you taking out two boxes ? " The chef explained , " Mr. Beltran told me to give these two boxes to the ladies first . " " But we ordered six boxes . Four won't be enough . " Josephine protested . She turned to Xavier , her lower lip sticking out in a pout , clearly coquettish . Though she didn't glance in Aveline's direction , Aveline knew she must have seen them . Aveline spoke calmly , " It's fine . No need to give us ours first . We can wait . " Only then did Josephine turn to Aveline , her face feigning surprise . " Oh , Aveline , you're here . Darling , you should've said earlier that you were giving them to her . Chef , go ahead and give them the two boxes . " Aveline wore a faint smile . " That won't do . If you end up short , I'd feel guilty . Chef , please just make two fresh boxes for us . I prefer them hot off the oven . " Josephine's smile didn't fade . " These are freshly baked , still warm . Aveline smiled but said nothing . She gave Josephine a quick glance , then looked away . Seeing Aveline stay quiet , Jasmine couldn't hold back . In a low voice , as if muttering to herself , she said , " Your saliva is everywhere . They're no longer fresh at all .
