Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Before he could speak a word, Nate’s angry voice rang out. “Xavier, you and that b*tch Winnie must pay for harming Yulissa! I won’t let Yulissa die in vain. I shall make sure you and that b*tch pay for what you did to her!” His warning was so low that it was practically a growl.

“Nate!” Xavier clenched his jaw and warned, “Mind your words. Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action.”

“Ha!” Nate sneered. “We used to be close to each other as cousins. Back then, you treated me badly to get Yulissa. Now, you and that b*tch caused Yulissa’s death. Are you going to teach me a lesson for that b*tch’s sake? You loved Yulissa dearly, but you aren’t as loyal as me. No wonder Uncle Benjamin prefers me over you. You suck, Xavier Fairchild!”

It was common knowledge in the Fairchild family that Benjamin and Xavier weren’t close to each other despite being father and son.

However, no one would say that out loud, for Benjamin and Xavier hated hearing people discussing this matter in public.

It was, in fact, a taboo in the Fairchild family. Xavier’s face would turn dark whenever the topic was mentioned.

As expected, rage ran red through Xavier’s brain after he heard Nate’s taunting words.

His eyes turned red as he snarled dangerously, “Send me your location. I’ll go find you now!”

Nate didn’t know Yulissa had injected a large dosage of a drug into Xavier’s body, causing the latter to lose a part of his memory.

He was in a foul mood, so he wanted to make Xavier and Winnie suffer worse than him.

He taunted, “Why? What’s wrong, my dear cousin? Did my words hit a sore spot? Is that why you’re angry?”

“Your address!” Xavier roared. He couldn’t control his emotions as he was under the influence of the drug.

“Dr. Houghton!” Louis’ anxiety grew when he realized Xavier’s emotions were growing unstable. He immediately asked for Josiah’s help. “Find a way to stop him! We can’t let this go on.”

Josiah knew how serious the problem was. “Calm him down. Keep an eye on him while I get the sedative,” he ordered.

“Okay!” Louis nodded and spun on his heels to offer some advice to Xavier. “Mr. Xavier, please calm down. I’ve made an appointment with Mr. Nate. It’s late, so it isn’t convenient for you to make your way over right now,” he uttered.

He then pleaded with Nate, “Mr. Nate, Mr. Xavier didn’t get to rest well these days, so he’s emotionally unstable. Can you please stop provoking him on purpose?”

Alas, all Louis got was an icy snort in response.

Ignoring Louis, Nate continued provoking Xavier. “I’ve sent the location to your phone. Xavier, I’ll be waiting for you. You’ll be a coward if you don’t show up!”

Xavier gritted his teeth and growled, “If you escape, you’re the coward!”

Tossing the phone away, Xavier whipped out his mobile phone and clicked into the location Nate had sent him.

He took one look at the address and grabbed his car keys, ready to leave.

Obviously, he wasn’t in a stable condition judging from his reddened eyes. Hence, there was no way Louis would let him leave.

Despite his efforts to stop Xavier from leaving, Louis was shorter than the former. Xavier gave him a shove, and he staggered backward unsteadily and nearly toppled to the ground.

Louis exclaimed, “Mr. Xavier, you can’t leave in this condition. It’s dangerous! Dr. Houghton, are you ready?”

As Xavier wasn’t about to listen to his advice, Louis flung his arms around Xavier’s waist so the man couldn’t move an inch.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Xavier seethed as an intimidating aura surrounded him. His eyes were bloodshot as he declared, “If you don’t let me go, don’t blame me for hurting you!”

“You can’t leave now!” Louis refused to let go even though Xavier was clutching his throat. “Dr. Houghton!”

Josiah had prepared the sedative. Despite hearing Louis’ screams earlier, he didn’t respond as he was afraid Xavier would realize what he was about to do.
