Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 244

By the time Winnie got to the courtyard, Harold had already made the necessary preparations and was standing by the car, waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her, he broke into a smile. “Good morning, Ms. Vivian. Did you get a good night’s sleep?”

“Hello, Mr. Horton,” Winnie replied cordially before rubbing her temples. “I didn’t sleep well. I had a bit too much to drink.”

“Ah, my apologies. I shouldn’t have drunk so much with you last night. If I had known, I’d have stopped you.”

“No, it’s not your fault, Mr. Horton,” Winnie hurriedly explained while waving her hand. “I was the one who wanted to drink, so please don’t blame yourself. I’ll feel better with some fresh air. Anyway, which car should I take?”

“Well, if you don’t mind, you can always join me in mine. I can guarantee your safety in it,” Harold said as he pointed at an armored car behind him.

Winnie had long noticed the vehicle when she stepped into the courtyard. It was undoubtedly an impregnable fortress, but accepting Harold’s offer would also mean she couldn’t pull any tricks under his watchful eye.

With all that in mind, she immediately shook her head. “No. I have a terrible headache, and getting some fresh air along the way would be good. I won’t be able to enjoy your ride today, Mr. Horton, but I’m sure there will be other chances.”

“Sure,” Harold said gently, chuckling as he did. “We’ll save it for the next time, then. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

“Exactly!” Winnie said with a nod before gesturing at a military jeep behind Harold. “I think I’ll take that one. Even when I’m wearing the hood, I’ll still be able to get some fresh air.”

Harold glanced in the direction Winnie was pointing and smiled approvingly.

“You have impeccable taste, Ms. Vivian! That car is also one of my favorites, and it rides smoothly even on rough terrain. I hope you don’t mind the hood. All my friends had to wear it at the start too. Of course, we can do without it once we’ve gotten to know each other better.”

Smiling faintly, Winnie took a hood from Harold’s subordinate without hesitation. “I understand. I’ll put it on myself. I don’t want you guys ruining my hair.”

“You sure do take great care of your looks, Ms. Vivian.”

“Oh, yes. I can lose my head, but I can’t mess up my hair,” Winnie casually replied as she put on the hood and took a deep breath. “Done. Let’s go.”

Ever the gentleman, Harold smiled and gently placed Winnie’s hand on his forearm. “Here, Ms. Vivian. You can hold onto my arm.”

Winnie thanked Harold and quickly fell into step beside him.

However, right before she was about to get into the car, Winnie suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Hang on!”

Harold instantly furrowed his brow. “What’s the matter, Ms. Vivian? Is there something wrong?”

“There is, indeed!” Winnie exclaimed. Before anyone else could react, she pulled her hand away from the man and removed her hood.

Everything happened so fast that Harold and his subordinates were shocked. The more vigilant ones had already trained their guns on Winnie.

When she saw the scene before her, Winnie knitted her eyebrows together in annoyance.

She scanned the faces in the crowd, and her gaze finally came to rest on Harold’s.

Harold had curled his lips back into a smile. “What’s wrong?”

Despite his gentle demeanor, he made no effort to get his subordinates to lower their guns.

“Don’t you think you’re being overcautious, Mr.
