Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Of course!” Winnie hesitated for a moment before greeting the man like how she had addressed him in the past. “Grandpa Rufus, of course, I remember your voice.”

“Great!” As soon as he heard the words “Grandpa Rufus,” he beamed with delight. “You should call me like how you used to previously. That makes my heart warm.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “The grudge you have against Hamish and his wife, along with the ownership issue of Garland Group, has been quite a stir these days. I have seen it on the news. At first, I found it hard to believe until Xavier told me that you are indeed smart. The reason why you put on an act is that you have been left with no other choice. You silly girl! Why didn’t you tell me about your trouble? You are my granddaughter-in-law—the future mistress of the Fairchild family. Xavier and I will go all out to help you.”

Winnie couldn’t help frowning upon hearing the words “granddaughter-in-law and the future mistress of the Fairchild family” from Rufus.

“Grandpa Rufus, thank you for your kindness. But you are also aware that the marriage between Xavier and I is just an odd coincidence, so it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Furthermore, I have already discussed this with him. When there is a chance, we will break things off completely.”

“Really? Have you already discussed it? But he has never mentioned anything to me?” Rufus replied with a smile.

After a pause, he added, “If I’m not mistaken, you used to get along well with him, right? Why don’t you try to spend more time with him? Anyway, I feel that the two of you look good together.”

Winnie grinned resignedly.

“Grandpa Rufus, I get what you’re saying. You feel that I’m Xavier’s life benefactor because he came round not long after I married him back then. However, after going through so many things, I believe you have already known that he was faking being in a coma. In other words, I’m not his life benefactor.”
