Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 177

“Can I take a look?” Sebastian’s reaction was somewhat agitated. He had almost gotten his hands on it.

Winnie felt baffled, but since the request came from Sebastian, she readily agreed.

“All right. Hold on.” Winnie undid the watch from her wrist and passed it to Sebastian. Out of respect toward him, she used both hands when she handed the watch over.

Unexpectedly, Sebastian, too, used both hands when he took the watch from her. He acted as if the watch was the most priceless treasure in the world.

As Sebastian carefully observed the watch, tears began to roll down uncontrollably from his eyes.

Winnie and Josiah were bewildered. They exchanged glances. Confusion was written all over their faces.

Lowering his head, Josiah whispered in Winnie’s ear, “What’s so special about your watch? What’s going on?”

Winnie frowned and shook her head. She had no idea what was going on right now.

It was not until she saw Sebastian wiping his tears did Winnie inquire, “Old Mr. Xander, if I may ask, is there something wrong with my watch?”

“Yes! There’s a huge problem!” Before Sebastian could speak, Yolanda, who had been standing nearby, grabbed the watch from him. She held the watch and asked Winnie coldly, “Why do you have this watch? Where did you get it from?”

Winnie frowned. She was not pleased with Yolanda’s attitude. “Ms. Xander, are you questioning me? Before I even consider answering your question, I must ask you to return the watch to me.”

“Your watch? Are you certain it’s yours?” Yolanda glared at Winnie. “Then, can you tell me what the letters ‘XHS’ on the face of the watch means? If you can’t answer that, it means the watch doesn’t belong to you!”

“Yolanda! Behave yourself! How dare you speak to a guest in such a manner?” Sebastian chided his granddaughter and extended his hand. “Give the watch to me.”

“Grandpa!”

“Give it to me!”

Left with no choice, Yolanda could only hand over the watch to Sebastian.

Holding the watch carefully, Sebastian stepped forward and returned it to Winnie.

Upon seeing that, Yolanda furrowed her brows. “Grandpa, that belongs to Harrison!”

“Silence!” Sebastian did not spare his granddaughter a glance. With slightly reddened eyes, he asked Winnie, “Girl, can I ask you about the origin of this watch? I won’t keep it a secret from you. My grandson, Harrison Xander, also owns such a watch. When he sent it for customization the watch, he specially requested to have the letters ‘XHS’ engraved underneath. Those are his initials. It’s such a coincidence that this watch also has the same three letters engraved on it.”

Immediately after hearing Sebastian’s explanation, Winnie understood the situation.

“I see.” Winnie saw no need to conceal what she knew. “I used to wonder what the three letters meant, but I never managed to find the watchmaker. Hence, I have no leads. It’s a really good watch. I’ve worn it for over two years. However, I’m not too sure about its origins. My brother gave it to me as a present. He obtained it from a merchant when he was on an inspection trip about two years ago. I don’t know anything else other than that.”

“Inspection?” Hope ignited in Sebastian’s eyes. “Do you know where your brother went for his investigation? And the merchant who sold him the watch… what do they look like?”
