Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 238

“Can you at least tell me about your plan?” Xavier asked.

The plan was pretty dangerous, so Winnie didn’t want to let Xavier know about it for the time being. She thought about it and said, “It’s not going to be easy. Harold’s a paranoid man. I can only approach him if I have a middle-man vouching for me.”

He understood what she meant. “You mean Christopher?”

“Yes.” With an affirmative nod, she continued, “I can’t think of anyone else who can introduce me to Harold in a short amount of time.”

“Indeed.” The stakes were clear to Xavier. “However, you must understand something, Winnie. He’s an undercover agent. If his identity is exposed, the people in his life will suffer too.”

“I know that. Right now, I’m certain his identity hasn’t been exposed yet. Otherwise, he’d be a corpse by now. I need to go to Lightspring and discuss the details of the plan with him.”

Nodding, Xavier replied, “Okay. I’ll go with you.”

Winnie opened her mouth, but no words left her lips.

“What’s the matter?” When he saw her expression, his eyebrows furrowed. “Are you not going to take me with you? Do you think I’ll ruin your plan if I do?”

She instantly denied it, “No, you’re just overthinking it. That’s not what I meant.”

“That’s good!” As he spoke, he pulled the blanket on him away and prepared to stand. “We should head out as soon as possible. Do you want to visit Granny again and let her know our plan?”

“Hmm, yes, I do. She hasn’t completely forgiven me yet. I bet she’ll feel really sad if I leave without saying goodbye. You should stay here and rest a little longer. I’ll be back soon.”

“That works for me.” Xavier’s lips curved upward somewhat self-deprecatingly. “It’s likely that Granny will be unhappy to see me. It’s for the best if I don’t join you so I won’t upset her further.”

Winnie was aware that what he said was true, and she felt apologetic about it. “I’m sorry you have to go through this, Darling. I appreciate you being understanding of her.”

“Not at all.” The light in his eyes grew brighter. “It’s worth it to hear you call me Darling.”

A chuckle slipped out of her mouth. “Are you that easily satisfied? You’ve certainly changed.”

“Oh? What kind of person do you think I’ve become?”

Winnie laughed. “How do I describe it? It’s like you’ve become someone devoid of desires.”

Xavier intentionally frowned. “You’re such a bad woman. Look at how you’re teasing me again. I suggest you leave quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being audacious.”

Raising her eyebrow, she retorted, “Audacious, is it? I’ll remember that. Just you wait till I’ve taken care of matters here.”

With a smile, she touched his cheek and went on, “I should head to the hospital now. Rest well and wait for me here.”

“Don’t worry.” Xavier pulled Winnie’s hand to his lips and kissed it. “Do you think I’m you? I don’t run around recklessly. I plan to drink a cup of coffee in the courtyard while leisurely awaiting your return.”

“Wow! You sure do know how to enjoy yourself.”

He flashed her a silent grin before handing her the silver gun on the bedside table.

Not long after Winnie left, Xavier knocked on the door of the neighboring room.
