Chapter 30 Then , he said to the driver , " To Granvia Restaurant . " A few minutes later , after Xavier walked into the private room at Granvia Restaurant , Josephine was surprised and immediately trotted over to hold his arm . " Darling , you were lying when you said you had something else to do , right ? You just wanna give me a surprise . " Xavier gave a faint smile and didn't say anything . He then walked to sit next to Gerald . And Josephine went to sit next to Xavier . Gerald smiled at Xavier , " Now that you've come , Josie can finally enjoy this meal . " Josephine shot a look at Gerald . Then , she took the bottle and poured Xavier a glass of wine . In the private room , Vincent , Eileen , and several members of the PR team watched this scene with smiles on their faces . Xavier suddenly looked at Gerald and said , " I'll have something to say to you after dinner. " Gerald laughed , " What is it ? Why not say it now ? " Xavier didn't respond . He took the wine and took a sip of it . Josephine , while putting food on his plate , said , " Darling , I also have something to say to you . " Xavier put down his wine glass and picked up the fork . " What is it ? " " I heard that Bernard is abroad and can't undertake the design project for Mount Ardwood Theme Park . So , I'd like to recommend a very capable architect to you . " Hearing Josephine's words , Xavier glanced at Gerald . Gerald smiled , " Yes , I told her . It wasn't a big deal . Anyway , the person Josie recommends must be very good . " Josephine held Xavier's arm and said in a sweet voice , " Xav , just take a look at that man's resume first , okay ? " Xavier replied lightly , " Fine . Send me his resume . " Josephine grinned and then continued picking up food for Xavier . Marjorie envied Josephine for having Xavier's favoritism . She wanted to take a photo of Xavier , but she didn't dare . So , in the end , she just took a photo of the dishes on the table and posted it on her Instagram . After finishing the meal , Xavier and Gerald went to sit on the couch . 0.0 % 18:59 Gerald handed Xavier a cigarette and smiled as he looked at the dining area , saying , " Look how happy Josie is now . Before you came , she was very down . " Xavier smoked and glanced over . Then , he said to Gerald , " You go draft that agreement . I have to give Aveline some- thing . " Gerald frowned . " But she didn't ask anything from you , did she ? She said she loved you , so you shouldn't want your money . " Xavier just said lightly , " I'll give you a list later . Draft the agreement based on that . " Seeing that Xavier was looking at Josephine when he said these words , Gerald nodded . " If only this could satisfy Aveline . Hope she won't cause trouble for you and Josie . " He believed that Xavier wouldn't give half of his wealth to Aveline . He might probably offer tens of millions of dol- lars to make Aveline stay away from him , so that he could be with Josephine openly and honestly . " After the draft is out , send it to Fiona , and let Fiona send it to her . After she confirms everything , we'll sign it . " " Alright . I'll be quick. " *** Aveline leaned against the head of the bed , reading through the information about the Mount Ardwood Theme Park project . Before bedtime , she opened her Instagram and scrolled up . Suddenly , she saw Eileen's post with a picture . " What a perfect match . I really hope to see the day of their wedding . I've already got their wedding gifts ready ! " In the picture were a man's and a woman's backs , with the woman holding onto the man's arm . Without even zooming in , Aveline knew that it was Xavier and Josephine in the picture . She thought ironically , " He's really busy , having dinner with her while texting me to ask where I was . " Expressionless , she kept scrolling up . Just then , Jasmine texted her . She closed her Instagram and checked the message . Jasmine first sent her a screenshot and then a text . " I saw this on Marjorie's Instagram . Shit ! You know what ? Josephine took away your Mount Ardwood Theme Park project ! " Aveline clicked that screenshot . The picture showed a table of sumptuous food . Aveline recognized that it was Granvia Restaurant because she had gone there to eat with the Beltran family several times , and Xavier was a VIP guest . Marjorie didn't capture any faces , but she captured a man's left hand holding a glass of red wine . The man's fingers were long and thin , and he was wearing a Rolex watch on his wrist . Aveline could tell that it was Xavier's hand . That watch was not expensive , only around 30 thousand dollars , but it 26.6 % 18:59 Chapter 30 288 ( Vouchers was given to him by his father when he graduated from college . So , Xavier had been wearing it all along . Aveline once gave Xavier a watch worth millions , but when he received it , his expression was calm , and he had never worn it . Marjorie said on her Instagram : " I'm so jealous . Ms. Sutton has a big shot who dotes on her so much . Just saying some sweet words could let that big shot give the Mount Ardwood Theme Park project to the architect she recom- mended . " Jasmine texted : " What great architects could Josephine possibly know ? But Xavier just gave her the project like that ? That's ridiculous ! He's simply wasting a project worth billions to just make Josephine smile . " Aveline looked at Jasmine's message for a long time , feeling so complicated in her heart . In the end , she sighed . She thought that if Xavier really did that , it meant that his love for Josephine was far beyond her imagination . She was right to have decided to leave Xavier . She couldn't win when her opponent was Josephine . Aveline replied to Jasmine : " Let's talk about it after Bernard comes back . The Beltran Group hasn't rejected Bernard's recommendation , so we still have the chance to win it . " Though she said so , she still didn't feel good in her heart . After all , Marjorie sounded so sure about it . Aveline got up from her bed and had some whiskey . Then , she came back to her bed and slept . After she found out that she had a good tolerance for alcohol , she bought some wine and put it in the studio . She would drink occasionally . The next day was the weekend , and as the preliminary design had already been completed , Jasmine and Julian didn't come to the studio . After two days of rest , the next step was to add more details to the design . After Aveline woke up naturally , she went out to buy some groceries and then went to her grandparents ' house . She had lunch there and had a chat with them . Then , the two elders went to take a nap . Aveline had no habit of taking a nap , so she went to sit in the living room , reading . Suddenly , she got a text from Xavier . Xavier : " Tina has come . She said she wanted to eat risotto and cupcakes . " Aveline didn't wanna go back to Winslow Heights . So , after thinking about it , she texted back : " I'm busy . Tell her that I'm sorry . " After a couple of minutes , Xavier texted again : " She's still a kid . You promised her , and you'll have to keep it . " Aveline thought about Valentina's cute little face when she called her " Aveline " . At that time , the little girl's eyes were full of trust and affection . Aveline thought that she indeed should not let this little girl down . 59.8 % 18:59 Chapter 30 Making risotto and cupcakes wouldn't take long . Aveline could then explain to Valentina that she no longer lived in Winslow Heights , and if the little girl wanted to eat her cooking , she could directly contact her . After thinking so , Aveline told Miranda that she would be out for a while . Then , she went out of the Baldwin's house , bought some groceries in the market , and then headed to Winslow Heights . 94.6 % す 18:59
