Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 174

“I was in a rush just now, so there are a few details I haven’t cleared up with you yet. It’s rather inconvenient for me to sit in the back right now,” Winnie explained.

“Oh.” Josiah let out a sigh silently. He thought that something was up with himself since he still felt nervous.

He had already come around, telling himself that Winnie was the wife of his good friend. Thus, he could not and should not harbor any feelings for her.

In an attempt to divert his attention, he changed the topic. “What’s in this briefcase of yours?”

“Huh?”

“What is it?” Josiah inquired and could not help but turn to glance at Winnie as he felt that her tone was off.

As expected, she was frowning. “Were you daydreaming just now? I asked you a question. Didn’t you hear me?”

“Eh?” Josiah was rather shocked. “You asked me something?”

“I did,” she affirmed.

“Oh gosh.” He smacked himself on the head. “I didn’t hear you at all. Can you repeat yourself?”

Winnie stated, “I asked you whether you’ve asked around with the townspeople here. Yolanda said that Old Mr. Xander hasn’t been able to move freely as of late. There’s no way that nobody but she has seen Old Mr. Xander, right?”

“Oh, that?” Josiah hit the steering wheel. “I didn’t have time to ask around yesterday. I barely managed to exchange a few sentences with her before she had me escorted off to the police station.”

“I see. In that case, you can go and ask around nearby while I talk to her later.”

“Sure. Leave it to me.”

The car arrived at the destination in no time.

Even though the Xanders were said to live in seclusion, their residence was not located in an especially remote area.

Yaleview was also known as a mountain city and the city of medicine due to its mountainous landscape. Hence, one could see hills all around them with a lift of their head even though they were in a bustling urban area.

Since it was a mountainous area, there were a lot of wild herbs to be found. Winnie presumed that was why the old traditional medicine practitioner, Sebastian Xander, chose that place to live in seclusion.
