Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Rufus was likewise stunned for a moment.

Never had he expected Xavier to turn him down so bluntly, and right in front of Winnie at that.

His expression promptly turned as black as thunder. He slammed the fork in his hand onto the table and kicked Xavier under the table surreptitiously,

Gritting his teeth, he hissed in a lowered voice, “What on earth are you doing? Didn‘t you promise to take good care of Winnie as though she‘s your sister? If you‘re afraid that you‘ll be embarrassed or the like, all sorts of rumors have long since spread like wildfire out there. Just bring her to attend the charity gala openly. It‘ll shut them up and stop them from simply speculating nonstop.”

Xavier‘s brows furrowed. With a thud, he slammed his cutlery onto the table as well. “As I‘ve said, she‘s unsuited to attend. I don‘t mind going without a female companion, but I‘ll never bring her along. I‘ve finished eating. Enjoy the meal.”

After saying that, he got to his feet and left the dining room.

Throughout it all, he didn‘t spare Winnie a single glance.

Meanwhile, Winnie was a tad chagrined.

There was still some basic courtesy between us previously, but he suddenly started ignoring me for no apparent reason. Never mind that, but he even has blatant contempt written on his face now. Mr. Cadigan has his wires crossed, he said? That‘s more applicable to him instead!

She bit her fork. Only after Xavier had left did she repress the‘wrath within her.

“What‘s wrong with Handsome, Grandpa Rufus? Is he unhappy?”

“Here, eat more, Winnie. There‘s no need to bother about him. Perhaps he forgot his brains at home when he left the house today. Don‘t you love eating chicken wings? Here, hurry up and eat!”

“Okay! Thank you, Grandpa Rufus! You‘re so nice!”

What a scumbag! How dare he show contempt for me so blatantly? I‘ve got to have a good chat with him during our drive home later.

The car sped along the road, for Xavier didn‘t plan on staying the night at Lagune Mansion.

Instead, he planned to send Winnie back before returning to his condominium in the city center right away.
