Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 173

By the time Xavier and Winnie arrived at the police station in Yaleview, night had already fallen.

Josiah—having had nothing to eat since noon—was utterly famished.

Hence, he was especially warmed by the sight of Xavier and Winnie’s arrival.

The moment they stepped out of the police station, Josiah leaned against Xavier.

“I’m so hungry that I’m going to faint. Also, the bench inside was so hard that my legs became numb after sitting on it.”

Faced with Josiah, who had his ID stolen by a monkey, Xavier harbored no sympathy at all.

“You’re oozing bad luck out of your ears, so please stay away from me.”

“F*ck!” Josiah’s eyes widened. “For whom did I come here in the first place? How shameless can you be?”

Xavier shoved him aside mercilessly. “Don’t make it sound like you’re doing it for free.”

“D*mn you!” Josiah was on the brink of spitting at Xavier’s face. “I did it because I treat you as my friend. Also, our families have known each other and collaborated for generations. What sort of person are you for behaving like this?”

“That’s enough,” Winnie interrupted Josiah. “It’s not like you’re not aware of the condition he’s currently in.”

“Fine, fine.” Josiah raised both his arms as a sign of surrender. “Both of you are united as a couple. At the end of the day, I’ll always end up at your mercy.”

“Cut the nonsense!” Winnie took two big steps forward and gently supported one of Josiah’s arms.

The moment Josiah felt her touch, his body stiffened.

“I… actually, I…” He wanted to state that he could still walk perfectly by himself even though his knees were wobbly from the numbness.

Nonetheless, Winnie spoke over him.

“Listen to me; there’s a cop behind us who’s behaving strangely. Ever since we left the police station, he has been keeping an eye on us. I noticed him working in front of his computer when we first arrived, but when he saw Xavier and I walk in, he dropped whatever he was doing and monitored us closely the entire time we were there.”
