Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Despite how her eyes glistened as she spoke, they still carried a tinge of mischief within them.

The look in her eyes jolted Xavier, as he suddenly felt a gaping distance between them, even though she was standing right before him at arm’s length.

“Hold my hand tightly.” Looking at Winnie, Xavier could not help but furrow his brows.

His hands were indeed a sight to behold. With a large palm, slender fingers, and the right proportion of bones and muscles, anyone with a hand fetish would definitely feel their knees buckle.

His face was not the only part of him that Winnie admired. Naturally, it also included his perfect-looking hands.

Smiling, she did more than just hold his hand tightly. One by one, she threaded her fingers in between his.

As for her smile, it brimmed with such charm that it stunned Xavier on his feet.

When she was a fool, she was already capable of mesmerizing me to the extent of losing control. Now that she isn’t, is she going to seduce my entire being from me? She even took the initiative to clasp her fingers with mine. Does she even know what she’s doing? Given that she’s not really a retard, she must be aware of what’s going on the entire time.

If it was not for the loud commotion coming from the mansion, he would have hugged her in his tight embrace and kissed her until she was breathlessly whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

In the end, he managed to keep his urges in check. Holding her dainty hands tightly, he strode to the mansion together with her.

The moment they arrived, they saw the bodyguard washing his eyes at the pond outside the backdoor.

Xavier frowned at the sight. “What did they throw at you? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

“It’s fine, Mr. Fairchild. It’s just sand. Anyway, I have already locked the main door. It will keep them out for the time being.”

The bodyguard had barely finished when he inquired, “Should we call the police? It’s quite the mob out there.”
