Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 172

“Let me rub that dumb head of yours!”

Dumb head?

Stumped for words, Winnie rolled her eyes. “Do you know why I’m holding myself back from smacking you?”

“Huh, wouldn’t it break your heart to do so?”

“That has nothing to do with it. More importantly, striking you will turn this into domestic violence, which either never happens or does so all the time. Once you force me to become a husband beater, I’ll have difficulty finding other suitors, for all of them will be terrified of me because of my history.”

“What?” Xavier’s expression darkened drastically. “You’re intending on looking for someone else?”

“Don’t people always say that the next one will be better?”

“Who said that? Do they have a death wish? Tell me their names!”

“Oh no, even three days and nights will not be enough for me to list them out.”

Just when Winnie wanted to tease him further, her phone suddenly rang.

What surprised her further was that the caller ID indicated that it was from a police station.

Xavier, who noticed the number as well, furrowed his brows. “What’s going on? Put it on speaker.”

“Mmm-hmm, we’ll know once I answer it.” Winnie placed the phone on the desk for both of them to listen to.

From it, an unfamiliar male voice rang out.

He said, “It’s connected.”

Josiah’s voice followed.

“It’s me, Josiah.”

“What the hell did you do?

“I am.”

“Why?”
