Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 247

Xavier could not help but wonder why Christopher was the one fighting alongside Winnie instead of himself.

This is so wrong! Argh!

However, he held in those feelings, as he knew that there were far more important things that they had to accomplish.

Xavier believed that as long as Riley could treat him, he would be able to stand by her side in the future without worries.

Right then, Winnie and Christopher’s discussion came to an end.

Winnie nodded and said to Christopher, “All right. It’s decided, then.”

She cast a glance at Xavier. She had wanted to discuss something serious with Christopher. However, she realized that the way Xavier looked at Christopher was quite odd.

Winnie knew Xavier was a very possessive man. She also knew for a fact that he had toned down in view of her tenacity in the matter.

Yet, at that moment, it seemed that he had returned to his old self.

“Xavier.” Winnie furrowed her brows and held his hand. “Please, trust me in this. I know what I’m doing. Captain Bennett is a trustworthy man.”

“Of course I trust you, Winnie,” Xavier said as he glanced at Christopher. Then he squeezed Winnie’s hand and mentioned nothing about trusting Christopher.

As a man, Christopher understood what Xavier was thinking. However, he knew he was not at fault for having feelings for Winnie, and he did not feel the need to explain himself to anyone.

Since the beginning, he had not done, nor forced anyone to do anything that was against their own will.

He looked at Xavier and said in a low voice, “Just brief us on your responsibilities. You’re mainly in charge of backup. If anything untoward happens to my men, I can expect you to back them up. Is that correct?”

“Of course,” Xavier said as he shot Christopher a fiery look.

Of course I will deal with any problems that come up. I will not sit here and concede defeat!

Even though Christopher did not reciprocate Xavier’s hostile gaze, he did not back down as well. The two men merely looked at each other, saying nothing as tension sizzled in the air.

Winnie was worried that Xavier was not doing so well, so she tried to reassure him with her actions.

She got up and took the initiative to hold Xavier’s arm. “I’ve briefed Mason and Greta. They will listen to your arrangements for the time being. I will protect myself, and you have to take good care of yourself too.”

“I know.” Xavier visibly relaxed when Winnie approached him. He even lowered his head to kiss Winnie on her cheek.

It was just a light peck, but he deliberately paused for quite some time.

It went without question that he only did it to make his mark, and it was quite a childish attempt.

Winnie was amused by his action. Nevertheless, she felt the need to reassure him as she had already regarded him as her soulmate. She lifted her head and kissed him on the lips.

“That’s how you do it, silly.”

Xavier was stunned. Did she just call me silly in front of another man? But who cares, right? She kissed me in front of Christopher!

Xavier suppressed the urge to reciprocate her fervent kiss right then and there. When he looked at Christopher, he could not help but smile smugly as he asked, “Do you have anything else you’d like to confirm?”

Christopher remained impassive and gave Xavier a smile. “No. It’s getting late now. I think the driver’s about to be back soon. I hope all of us can go back to our respective positions.”

After about an hour, Winnie and Christopher left the place.

Winnie decided to go through with her acting and be a more difficult person.
