Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Good. Good girl.” Rufus sat up with Josiah and Louis’ help.

He asked, “Why did Xavier tell you to come back first?”

Winnie blinked helplessly. “Handsome said I can be useful back here, but he cannot come back for now.”

Hearing that, Rufus could not hold back his laughter. I forgot she’s mentally slow.

He then turned to Josiah and Louis. “You knew that Xavier’s still alive but kept it a secret from me.”

“Old Mr. Fairchild.” Josiah pushed his spectacles up sheepishly. “You can’t blame us for keeping it a secret from you. You know how careful Xavier is. We didn’t want to ruin his plan and had to keep it a secret.”

“Mm.” Rufus nodded. “Xavier’s calm and mature. I trust him.”

Josiah was speechless. Calm and mature? Did you forget how he went nuts when he was trying to find his wife?

“Louis, let me know how I should help Xavier.”

Louis immediately told him about Xavier’s plan. Bobbing his head, Rufus said, “Got it. Let’s do that. But you have to make sure to keep Winnie safe.”

“Grandpa Rufus, you have to be careful, too.” Before leaving, Winnie waved goodbye to him.

“I will. Winnie, you’re a kind and respectful young lady. Your granny has been worried about you, so she’ll be delighted to see you back. I’ll ask someone to give her a ride to your house so you can reunite with her.”
