Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 182

Xavier, however, still seemed rather unbothered. “Will you only be happy when I’ve recovered?”

“Silly you!” Winnie said as she patted him on his shoulder. “Everyone will be happy once you recover. That way, you’ll finally be able to sleep well and—”

“I’m not sleepy,” Xavier suddenly interrupted.

“Fine,” Winnie mumbled, sighing inwardly. Gosh. I realize I’ve been sighing a lot more ever since knowing him.

After a while, she added, “You might not be sleepy, but I sure hope you haven’t forgotten what we’ve been through.”

Upon hearing that, Xavier furrowed his brows. “Very well, then. Let me investigate the guy called Harrison Xander. I’ll make the arrangements once I’m back at the hotel.”

“Sounds good,” Winnie replied with a nod. “With your help, I’ll be able to make a lot more progress.”

“What?” Xavier uttered as he cupped her face. “Are you still planning to continue the search on your own? There’s no way I’d allow that. I won’t let you spend your time and effort on other men except me!”

Needless to say, Winnie was more than amused.

To think he was so serious earlier, only to return to his domineering self at a flip of the switch. That said, I must admit this quirk of his is starting to grow on me. I’m finding it rather adorable.

Josiah, however, laughed so hard that he spat his water out.

As efficient as always, Xavier launched an investigation into Harrison Xander and received news the next day.

Winnie wasted no time looking through the information sent over by the private investigator and felt it was all highly credible.

Thus, she decided to share everything she knew with Sebastian when she sent Xavier to his treatment that day.

This time around, not only was Winnie present at the acupuncture session, but Yolanda had also tagged along to learn from her grandfather.

Since the former was still unfamiliar with acupuncture and couldn’t possibly take over the reins of the treatment, it was no surprise that Yolanda remained Sebastian’s first pick.

Even though Winnie had doubts about Yolanda’s motives, she, unfortunately, couldn’t find any evidence to back her assumptions up.

She had gotten people to keep tabs on Yolanda, only to find out that the latter had hardly left the house in the past few days, and even her call history didn’t seem unusual.

Yolanda was either truly innocent or had another phone that was very well-hidden.

Alas, what else could Winnie do when she hadn’t found any concrete proof? She couldn’t approach Sebastian to voice her suspicions about Yolanda wanting to harm Xavier, could she?
