Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 220

Without even considering it, Xavier rejected her outright. “No. I would never let you go on the mission alone.”

“But I’m not alone.” Winnie walked up to Xavier’s side and held his hand to coax him. “There’ll be someone protecting me the entire way.”

If it was in the past, Xavier would have either pulled her onto his lap or grabbed her hand without letting go.

But this time, he struggled free from her grip.

Moreover, he got to his feet. There were displeasure and annoyance written all over his face.

“If that’s the case, what did you think I came all the way here for? Just to split up with you again? Shouldn’t I just stay in Avenport and provided you moral support from there?”

His words stumped Winnie. He’s getting increasingly demanding.

Knitting her brows, she replied in a serious tone, “No one ever wants to come back to a place like this unless one has no choice. Therefore, we have to make sure everything is perfectly executed the first time. Besides, don’t you realize that splitting up will increase our efficiency?”

Xavier stared intently at her. “Not at all.”

“Oh?” Winnie cocked a brow. “In that case, what do you propose?”

“Get him to go.” Without a moment’s hesitation, Xavier’s finger pointed at Josiah.

“Huh?” Josiah was caught off guard when his name was mentioned abruptly.

It took him a moment before he regained his senses and nodded in agreement.

“I-I won’t say no, but you have to increase my pay. After all, this task is risky.”

“Deal!” Xavier sealed their agreement before turning toward Winnie. “Look, it’s resolved.”

“That’s right.” Josiah flashed a smile at the duo. “Money makes the world go round, and your husband has successfully paid me off.”

Despite the gravity of the situation, Josiah’s humor almost elicited a smile from Winnie.

Nonetheless, she rolled her eyes at him. “Only you can utter such words. I am truly amazed at what you’re capable of.”

Josiah shamelessly declared, “I guess I have no choice. Capability and responsibility come hand in hand.”

“Cut the crap. Let me brief you on Yulissa’s current situation.”

Xavier didn’t like the direction things were going when he watched how Josiah’s eloquent tongue captured his wife’s attention.

Dumbo is my wife and she can only have eyes on me.

As for Winnie, she didn’t protest any further, for she knew there was no way of convincing Xavier to split up with her.

In fact, she couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted over the arrangement.

While the two were still in the midst of their discussion, she reminded them, “You should hurry. It’s about time already.”

“Almost done.” Xavier glanced at his watch. “We should be able to reach Lightspring before dark.”

Just as Winnie responded with a nod, she received a call from Mason.

She went to the washroom to take the call as she didn’t want to disturb Xavier and Josiah’s conversation.

By the time she emerged, the two men were already done with their discussion.

Seeing her, Xavier reached out his hand.

“All right, we can go now. We’ll leave three men with Josiah, while the rest will come with us. They will rest here tonight, whereas we’ll head toward Lightspring first.”
