Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 134

That’s Xavier’s voice. Winnie easily recognized it in a heartbeat.

Still, she was rather surprised, for as far as she knew, Xavier had always been an egoistic and conceited individual.

Back at Aqua Moana, both of them had already cleared things up with each other. Xavier had even warned her not to appear in his sight ever again.

Because of that, she presumed that it had come to a parting of ways between them, so she had never thought of counting Xavier in when she sent the Fairchild family an invitation.

Not even in a million years would she expect Xavier to show up uninvited.

Nevertheless, Winnie wasn’t delusional. In a flash, she connected the dots and reached a conclusion herself.

This has to be Grandpa Rufus’ arrangement. He must still be finding ways to matchmake Xavier and me.

At the thought of that, she secretly let out a chuckle.

She figured that as one aged, the person would eventually grow to enjoy playing matchmaker. Jacinta, for one, also acted in a similar fashion.

Her grandmother had been nagging at her for several days already, urging her to invite Christopher over for a meal.

However, Winnie was too busy to free up any of her precious time to plan such an agenda.

She took a step back and allowed Xavier to pull open the car door.

As soon as the car door was open, Rufus stepped out of the car with the support of both Winnie and Xavier.

“Splendid!” Rufus seemed impressed as he cast a gaze at Winnie, who was clad in an immaculate, stunning evening gown.

“You’re a very gracious improviser, Winnie. I heard you’ve done an awesome job at restructuring Garland Group. You’re really an outstanding young lady. I’m rooting for you!”

“Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Rufus. It means a lot to me!” Winnie carefully held his hand and walked with him, wearing a bright grin as she prompted, “This way.”

The more Rufus looked at Winnie, the more delighted he became. “You’re really one fine lady. You don’t need to be so modest when you’re with me, you know. Just be yourself!”

During the exchange, one of the reporters approached them out of nowhere, pleading with them ever so courteously, “Old Mr. Fairchild, Mr. Fairchild, Ms. Garland, I’m sorry to intrude, but could I take a group photo of you all?”
