Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Winnie and the others inside the vehicle could finally relax a little because of that.

Upon lowering her guard, she shifted her focus from the scenes outside the window to the happenings inside the car.

She noticed that Jacinta wasn’t doing well after scanning the interior of the car.

“Granny, Granny, are you all right?” Winnie called out to Jacinta gently. “Are you feeling distress because of what happened just now?”

Jacinta appeared to be in a daze, as she did not respond even after a few seconds.

Winnie couldn’t help but frown at that sight.

However, just as she was about to reach out and caress Jacinta, the latter suddenly sat upright with an exaggerated movement. Jacinta seemed to be acting slightly unusual.

She bored her eyes into Xavier, pointed at his nose, and shouted, “It’s you! You killed Zyon! You’re the murderer!”

Xavier had been absorbed in his own thoughts, but when Jacinta began scolding him, he immediately furrowed his brows in response.

He had wanted to tell her that she fired the shot first, but he suppressed his resentment and grievances when he thought of Winnie because he didn’t want Winnie to be caught in a tight spot between having to side with him or Jacinta.

He simply grunted in agreement and uttered in a relatively tender voice, “That’s right, Granny. I eliminated Zyon. This has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to feel burdened. We’ll be safe soon. Once we return to Avenport, you can forget everything that happened here and lead a normal life as before.”

Xavier maintained a well-mannered attitude when he comforted Jacinta. He also expressed Winnie’s thoughts in the final part of his speech. Even Winnie did not expect him to be so considerate.

The only reason that prompted him to be so thoughtful was that he treated the people who were significant to Winnie the way he would treat her.

Winnie understood his rationale, so she remained silent and grasped his hand because she knew that a tacit response meant more than a million words at instances like that.

Xavier knew her intention. He was glad that she could understand his gesture through his simple few sentences, and he enjoyed the mutual affection they had for one another.

When he looked at her, he could not help but curl his lips into a contented smile.

Regardless of how filthy, chaotic, and dangerous the place was, to be able to sense the other party’s appreciation and sentiment as they held each other’s gaze was already considered a blessing to them.

Unfortunately, Jacinta was not a fan of watching their intimate interaction. She hated Xavier and utterly loathed his guts.

Jacinta was aware that she had been unreasonable when she had pointed at Xavier and accused him of being a murderer.

At that moment, she did not mind behaving unreasonably again. She yanked Winnie’s arm away from him and ensured Winnie was entirely focused on her.

Throughout the journey, whenever Winnie showed the inclination to chat with Xavier, Jacinta would immediately find an excuse to attract Winnie’s attention.

Jacinta did not try to hide her deliberate interruptions, so everyone in the car could grasp her intention, not to mention Xavier and Winnie.

Winnie had no choice but to endure for two reasons: First, she suspected that Jacinta was emotionally unstable after the latter shot someone to death. Second, she did not feel it was appropriate for her to reason with Jacinta in front of everyone else in the vehicle, as that would cause the latter to feel embarrassed.

Winnie could only rein in her temper throughout the ride.

Ultimately, she decided to shut her eyes and get some rest to avoid looking at anyone.

Jacinta stopped stirring a ruckus as long as Winnie did not pay Xavier any attention.

Suddenly, pin-drop silence filled the air in the car.
