Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 83

“I can ask you the same.” Winnie grasped Xavier’s chin and stroked it gently. “Are you pursuing me?”

Xavier swallowed the knot in his throat and grabbed her other hand. “I thought we were already a married couple.”

“It’s just temporary. Besides…” Winnie smiled. “You’ve already announced our divorce in front of your father and my parents.”

Xavier’s gaze darkened, and remorse flashed across his eyes when he met Winnie’s uncompromising gaze. “It doesn’t count since I’ve only said it verbally. Moreover…”

With an arm circling Winnie’s waist, he lifted her to sit on his lap. “You addressed me as your husband in public earlier, didn’t you?”

“So what? It’s just a nickname for show.” Winnie pushed Xavier with a chuckle. “You better release me now, or your other leg will suffer the same fate.”

Ignoring her warning, Xavier tightened his grip. “What do you mean? Do you want to break my leg? I don’t think you’ll be that cruel.”

Winnie arched a brow. “Fine then. Let me ask you something else. What happened to this leg of yours? I heard you broke it when you were drunk. Is that true?”

“Yeah. At that time, I searched for you everywhere for so long and used every method, but I still couldn’t find you anywhere. When your granny went to pack up your things at the mansion that day, I drank so much that I didn’t remember what happened. When I woke up the next day, all I saw was the bookshelf on top of my leg.”

Winnie nodded. Seems like he was drunk that day, seeing as he didn’t know I was the one who broke his leg with a kick. If I told him the truth, he might understand how cruel I could be if I wanted to.

“Winnie, can you tell me where you were during the time you went missing? What happened? Why did you return to my side as Paulina? Why did you create a new identity? Is there something you can’t tell me directly?”
