Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 218

There was no traffic at night, so it only took Winnie an hour to drive from the city to the mountain.

Alas, it was difficult to climb a mountain at night. By the time she had hiked up while panting away, another hour had passed.

Nonetheless, all her exhaustion vanished the moment she glimpsed the helicopter.

No sooner had she appeared than a man jumped out of the helicopter.

When the man spotted her, he sprinted over to her and asked enthusiastically, “Are you Ms. Garland? Mr. Marsh told me to come over and pick you up.”

Winnie looked the man up and down before she nodded. “Yes. Let’s go.”

“Sure. After you, Ms. Garland. It’s dark, so I’ll help to illuminate the way for you from the back.”

To that moment, there hadn’t been anything unusual about the pilot’s actions. For that reason, she didn’t notice anything off.

It wasn’t until she had boarded the helicopter that she noticed something amiss.

A man was tied to the cockpit, and he was also dressed in a pilot’s uniform.

Cursing inwardly, Winnie braced herself to leap down with her luggage in hand.

But at that precise moment, a bandaged hand shot out before her without warning.

As Winnie scrutinized the reddish blood stain on the snow-white bandage, she suddenly found that injured arm particularly familiar.

She slowly turned her head and looked at the man behind her.

“Xavier? Why are you here?” Winnie’s eyes went wide in surprise.

Xavier snorted coldly, his handsome face emerging from the darkness slowly, devoid of expression.

“Before I answer your question, shouldn’t you explain why you’re here in such a place in the middle of the night?”

At that, Winnie frowned. “So, you’ve been monitoring my phone and whereabouts?”

Xavier pinned his eyes on her, not bothering to deny that.

“You broke our agreement first. You promised to never keep any secrets from me henceforth and even swore an oath. But what’s this? If I hadn’t taken any precautions, you would’ve long since flown off. And by the time I woke up, I wouldn’t even know where to go to collect your body!”

A frown marred Winnie’s countenance. “Collect my body? Are you that eager for me to die? Can’t you say something nice instead?”

In response, Xavier sneered, “I wouldn’t have rushed over if I were eager for you to die. Are you heartless, Winnie? You promised to never keep me in the dark again.”

“Well, that’s…” In the face of his justified accusations, Winnie ultimately chose to twist logic.

She asserted, “I left a note for you! I never thought of keeping you in the dark. I only left while you were sleeping, so there was only a time difference between us.”

Xavier’s brows creased deeply to the point that they might leave permanent marks. “Why don’t I record everything you’re saying so that you can listen to it for yourself?”
