Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 224

On their way back, Winnie kept on urging the innkeeper to speed up, but she did not tell him the news she got.

She was not sure whether the innkeeper was trustworthy. If she told him, there was a big possibility that Christopher’s identity would be exposed.

Throughout the whole ride, the innkeeper repeatedly blamed the bad road condition for hindering their speed. When they reached the inn, a car full of people arrived right after them.

They were all Harold’s men, and all of them were equipped with guns.

Without saying anything, they barged into the inn to search the rooms and chased all the guests out into the courtyard.

The inn had around a dozen of guests, including Xavier.

Right when he came out, he met Winnie’s eyes.

While she looked at him worriedly, he gazed back at her with incomprehension, disappointment, and condemnation.

The night before, Winnie had slipped something strong into his water. It was likely that he had just woken up.

Obviously, he would feel upset after realizing what she had done to him.

However, since they were in a special situation, Winnie could not let her eyes linger on him for too long. She hurriedly retracted her gaze.

Unwilling to give up, Xavier continued to watch Winnie’s every move.

Greta, who was standing beside Winnie, did not notice anything odd about the latter. With a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, “My men must have run into these people last night. They probably guessed that these people would come, so they definitely won’t come back here and get themselves into trouble.”

Winnie nodded. “That’s great. We can try to keep ourselves alive without affecting each other.”

“Yes. I’ll contact them again after we get through this.”
