Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Apparently, the accelerant for the fire had been found.

Initially, he thought that the accelerant would be something like gasoline, but the photo he received was a photo of a few empty wine bottles.

The wine bottles… Xavier narrowed his eyes and turned toward the wine bottle on the rack. This guest room has a bottle of wine as part of its decoration?

Winnie noticed Xavier rooted to the spot by the doorway for a long time, so she could not help but walk over to him.

“What’s the matter?”

Xavier glanced at Jacinta before keeping his phone back in his pocket.

“Nothing. I’m going to the security room to take a look. I’ll send a few security guards over, but you and your granny should still be on your guard. Call me right away if anything happens.”

Instead of answering him verbally, Winnie nodded and smiled at him.

Xavier furrowed his brows amidst her silence.

“I’m talking to you. You should be careful. If there’s anything—”

“If there’s anything, I should call you. I heard you.” Winnie was amused. “Aren’t you supposed to be a cool and aloof man of few words? Why have you become long-winded?”

“Are you trying to say I’m annoying?” Xavier arched a brow. If not for the fact that others were around, he would have sealed her lips right away.

Winnie knew what he wanted to do, but she did not want to flirt with him in front of her grandmother. Moreover, Jacinta did not like Xavier all that much.

“To be honest, I’m tired, and I’m out of energy to talk. I’m thinking of resting. You should do the same. Leave your men to deal with this. Don’t overwork yourself.”

“Okay.” Xavier nodded. Then, he raised his hand to ruffle her hair. “Rest now. Just leave me be.”

Winnie nodded. “I’ll send you off, then.”

With that, the two discreetly held hands and ambled out of the house.

It was breezy outside, and Xavier didn’t want Winnie to catch a cold despite how he wished he could carry her all the way into his room.

“Go in now. See you tomorrow.”

As Winnie looked at the gentle and tender man under the warm light, she was suddenly disinclined to see him leave. That was a sensation she had never experienced before.

When she turned around, she noticed that her grandmother was no longer behind her, so she dashed forward to wrap her hands around the man and bite his lower lip.

“Good night!”

Having been abruptly kissed by the woman he loved, Xavier’s eyes lit up with passion.

Just as he was about to take a step forward and pull her into his embrace, Jacinta’s voice came from inside the house.
