Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 227

Winnie wasn’t really in the mood for intimacy that day, but she would still try to satisfy Xavier because she had wronged him.

To her surprise, however, all Xavier did was scrub her back.

Winnie turned around to look at him as she protested, “Are you trying to get your revenge on me? At this rate, you’ll scrape the skin off my back!”

Xavier turned her head back to the front. “Don’t turn around.”

“Why? Are you shy or something? I can feel it even without looking, you know?” Winnie said with a chuckle.

With their bodies tightly pressed against each other, it was only natural that she could feel his erection.

“You smell like you haven’t showered in days!” Xavier exclaimed, ignoring her statement completely.

Winnie gave him a light stomp on the foot. “It’s not that bad, is it? Are you sure you’re not imagining things?”

“I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve scrubbed someone down in the shower, so be grateful!” Xavier snapped back at her.

Winnie let out a chuckle. “All right, then. Thank you for your kind service, Xavier!”

The two of them then fell silent after that.

Eventually, it was Winnie who broke the silence by saying, “Xavier, there’s something I need to explain to you.”

Xavier nodded and replied nonchalantly, “Go ahead. I’m listening.”

“It’s about me and Christopher. As you probably have guessed, he’s carrying out a secret mission here. He saved my life when I happened to run into him last night. Nothing happened between us, though. He only said all that earlier to terrorize that pervert and ensure my safety,” Winnie explained.

Xavier’s hand, which was scrubbing Winnie’s back, paused briefly before he said, “Oh, I know. I can tell. However, that kiss was definitely deliberate on his part.”

Winnie found herself unable to deny his statement as that kiss did seem completely unnecessary.

After giving it some thought, she reminded him, “You can confront him about all you like after we return to Chanaea. He is currently risking his life for our country, so we mustn’t expose his identity. As citizens of Chanaea, we have a responsibility and obligation to help keep this secret.”

Xavier got angry when he heard that. “I understand. Do I look like someone who doesn’t know his priorities? I was a little surprised when I saw him, but then you gave me that look… You were staring at me as though I would yell his name and betray him on the spot! Am I really that unreliable to you? Even if you don’t trust me, you should at least trust your taste in men! Do you really think you’d fall for a man that stupid and irresponsible? Honestly, I feel like you’ll give me a stroke someday!”
