Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 207

Xavier threw Josiah a pitiless look. “There’s no stopping the car here. I advise you to put up with it for the time being.”

Rendered speechless, Josiah could only complain to Winnie. “Did you hear that, Ms. Garland? Is that even something someone with a conscience would say?”

Following his interruption, the initially tense atmosphere in the car instantly eased significantly.

Unbidden, a faint smile bloomed on Winnie’s face. “He might not have a conscience, but he has a lover. You, on the other hand, are single and available.”

At that, Josiah couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “What? How foolish of me to hope you’d seek justice on my behalf! I only ended up with double the blow as you both teamed up against me. Ah, I was too hasty.”

Giggling, Winnie played along with him and teased, “In that case, I wish you all the best in getting a partner to team up with as well.”

Even Xavier chimed in, “Yeah. All the best, Jo!”

Amused, Josiah glanced at him. “Hmph! You’re making fun of me? The only reason I’m not mocking you is in consideration of your dignity.”

Verily, he felt that his best friend had changed.

His personality wasn’t like this in the past. Earlier, he was evidently suspicious of Jacinta, but he lowered himself to almost the lowest degree possible in consideration of Winnie’s feelings. To him, it’s no exaggeration to term such a great compromise as servility. But there are no two ways about it since he just had to fall in love with her. Perhaps he doesn’t even realize it himself, but whenever he looks at her, his gaze will turn unbelievably tender the instant it alights on her, no matter how cold and ruthless it was in the previous second.

He knew that he resembled a clown when he said all that earlier, but he only did so to ease the atmosphere in the car.

After all, if Xavier and Winnie got along well, he would be happy for them from the depths of his heart.

Thus, he was willing to be a cat’s paw, observing Xavier’s expression and taking note of Winnie’s demeanor before making some harmless jokes.

However, as he alternated his gaze between the couple, he discovered something strange—Jacinta wasn’t really asleep but was merely feigning sleep.

She was obviously wide awake and had heard Xavier’s question earlier, but she pretended to be asleep. Judging from this, there is certainly something fishy about her!

Subsequently, the car drove into Aqua Moana and came to a stop below the condominium.

The driver immediately climbed out of the car and swung open the rear door. Meanwhile, Winnie woke Jacinta up.

“We’ve arrived so quickly? Did I fall asleep just now?” Squinting drowsily, Jacinta lifted her hand and massaged her shoulders.

“Yes, Granny, we’ve arrived, so let’s get out of the car.”

Jacinta murmured an acknowledgment. Then, she climbed out of the car with the driver supporting her from outside.

On the heels of that, Winnie made to alight from the car as well, but Xavier stopped her.

“I won’t be seeing you both upstairs this time, Winnie.”

In response, Winnie nodded. “Go and get busy. Don’t forget to take good care of Grandpa Rufus. At the same time, take good care of yourself, too.”

“Okay. Phone me if you miss me.”

Hearing that, Winnie chortled. “That isn’t necessary. I’ll make time to go over and seek you out this afternoon. Oh yes, what are your plans later?”
