Chapter 50 Although Valentina preferred her as an aunt compared to Josephine , Aveline felt that Xavier would never have thought of bothering or burdening Josephine , When it comes to someone you love , you'd never want them to suffer the slightest grievance or hardship . At seven o'clock , Aveline apologetically said that she had a niece at home with no one to look after her and that she had to leave . The meal was winding down by then , with everyone just casually eating , drinking , and chatting about architectural design , so no one paid much mind to her early departure . Leaving the private dining room , Aveline called a car and headed back to the Anmin Residential Community . Once she entered the community and got to her building , she saw Xavier's black Bentley parked out front , with the driver sitting in the driver's seat . The car window was down . The driver saw her and said , " Ma'am . " Aveline gave a cool hum of acknowledgment and entered the building . Upstairs , as she reached the studio door , she could hear Valentina's happy laughter from inside . Aveline opened the door and went inside . Hearing the noise , Valentina immediately shouted , " Auntie , Auntie's back ! " Aveline walked in to see Valentina running toward her , while Xavier sat on the sofa , his dark eyes watching her indif- ferently . Aveline coldly looked away , stroked Valentina's head , and asked gently , " Have you eaten , Valentina ? " Valentina nodded and said , " We ate . Uncle took me for burgers and fried chicken . Auntie , we even brought a bucket of fried chicken for you . " As she spoke , she pointed to the coffee table . Aveline had to glance over , and saw Xavier was still looking at her . She found him annoying . Didn't he say he had a flight to catch ? She was back , so why hadn't he left yet ? Xavier saw she was warm and friendly to Valentina but cold to him . He gave a faint smile and stood up . " Alright , your auntie's back , so it's time for your uncle to head to the airport . " Valentina said without a hint of reluctance , " Bye , Uncle . " Xavier chuckled . " You're eager for your uncle to leave , aren't you . " 0.0 % 19:02 ་ ་ ་་་ ་་་ \ ? Valentina felt a little embarrassed . " Well then , Uncle , I'll walk you out . " " No need . Your auntie can see me out . " As he said this , Xavier glanced at Aveline . Although Aveline didn't want to deal with him , she thought he had something to tell her about Valentina , so she had to go out with him . Standing in the foyer , Xavier said as he put on his leather shoes , " You drank so much . Did Sebastian give you the project ? Which Crestmark project were you going for ? " So he thought her business dinner today was with Sebastian . Aveline's lips curled into a sneer. " Xavier , we're getting a divorce . My business is none of your concern . " Xavier looked up at her and said flatly , " Stop bringing up the divorce all the time . I've already told Gerald to hurry up with the agreement . " " I'll try my best to be back tomorrow afternoon to pick up Valentina from school . If I can't make it , you go get her . " After he finished , he looked at Aveline again . Aveline turned away coldly , ignoring him , and went back inside . Behind her , Xavier walked out and closed the door . Valentina was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons on a tablet . Aveline said , " Valentina , it's time for us to take a bath . It's almost bedtime . " Valentina was engrossed , her eyes glued to the tablet . She said , " Auntie , can I watch for just a little longer ? " Aveline said helplessly , " Alright , just ten more minutes . " Valentina nodded obediently . " Okay , Auntie . " Ten minutes later , Aveline called for Valentina again , and Valentina obediently put down the tablet and went with Aveline to the bathroom for a bath . While they were bathing , Valentina said , " Auntie , I told Uncle off for you , and he said he got it . " Aveline heard this and knew Xavier was just humoring a child , so she just gave a faint " Mm . " Worried that Valentina would think she was being dismissive , she added , " Thank you , Valentina . " Valentina smiled . " You're welcome , Auntie . " Then she suddenly remembered something and said with a frown , " Auntie , I don't like Josie's cousin . He said bad things about you . " Aveline froze . " Bad things ? " 48.2 % 19:02 Valentina nodded with a serious little face . " Last night when we were eating , he told Uncle that Auntie's designs are bad . " Aveline's gaze sharpened . " Is that so ? "
