Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 171

Winnie frowned. “Why? In what way?”

Josiah replied dejectedly, “I found him, but I’m not allowed to meet him.”

At once, she caught the main point of his sentence. “You aren’t allowed to meet him? Who’s not giving you permission? The old man himself or his family members?”

“His granddaughter.” Josiah then explained his speculation, “The old man probably can’t move about freely because of his old age, but I don’t think he knows about my visit. So, his granddaughter should be the one who forbids me from visiting him.”

“Did you perhaps… offend her?”

Josiah was exasperated. “What on earth? How is that possible? Now is not the time to tell jokes.”

“Are you sure you didn’t do or say anything to upset her?”

“Of course! She’s definitely the problem if there has to be one. She looks so young, yet she’s so indifferent. Besides, I can’t possibly barge in, right? We’d be doomed if I mess everything up by doing that.”

“Then, you’ve got to put in more effort. Another day’s coming to an end. Even if I give him a jab, he could only get around an hour’s sleep, at best.”

Though Winnie did not mention Xavier’s name, Josiah knew who she was talking about.

“All right. Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. I’ll think of a way to meet the old man without going through his granddaughter.”

Winnie hummed in response. “Be quick but not rash.”

The moment she finished speaking, Xavier got up and walked over to her.

Without saying anything, he pulled her to him and gave her a passionate kiss.

Winnie could barely breathe. “Please add some sugar to your coffee next time. It’s so bitter! Wait, why are you still drinking coffee when you haven’t slept the entire night?”

Xavier stroked her chin, staring at her with a deep gaze. “I’m used to it.”

“No, this won’t do. You’ve got to reduce your consumption these days.”
