Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“There’s no time for us to think about that now. If we can’t deal with both at the same time, we’ll do one at a time.”

Christopher hummed in agreement before nodding. “I understand what you mean, but once we leave this place, it’ll be extremely difficult to enter their circle again.”

“I know.” Winnie hung her head to look at her feet. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, Harold has given me time to take a shower and change my clothes, so no one’s following us. Let’s hurry up and start working.”

“All right.” Christopher surveyed their surroundings. “There isn’t anyone around. Harold will surely need to wash up too. We have, at most, half an hour.”

“Yes. If nothing goes wrong, half an hour will be more than enough for us.”

As they spoke, they rushed back as quickly as they could.

Once they locked the doors and the windows, they entered the bathroom together.

Christopher’s phone was special. There were two systems installed, and when he activated the hidden system, he soon contacted his department.

While he was making his report, Winnie was busying herself at the side with a pen and paper. She was jotting down everything she had seen on Harold’s computer earlier.

When she was done writing, Christopher took photos of the information and sent them to his department.

After ending the call, Christopher let out a heavy sigh of relief. As he exited from the hidden system, he said to Winnie in sincerity, “Thank you. Without you, I might need to spend more time and more effort to get all this information.”

Winnie, too, felt much more relieved after sending out the information. She flashed a smile at Christopher and said, “You’re too courteous. Also, it’s what I should do. Furthermore, you’re my friend. I’m willing to lend you a helping hand for this.”

However, Christopher shook his head, his eyes reddening. “No, no. It’s not that I’m being courteous. I’m not thanking you on my own account. I’m thanking you on behalf of my department.

You’ve helped us lower the casualty rates of innocent people. Everything you’ve done today will save and have saved many lives and families. My department has asked me to thank you.”

Thinking of the blood, sweat, and tears that heroes like Christopher had sacrificed, Winnie found her throat tightening. She shook her head.

“No, I’ve only done something minor. The ones who should receive the thanks are you guys, but I’ll accept the gratitude from you and your department.”

“Mm.” Christopher inclined his head. In the next second, he lifted his arm and gave Winnie a military salute.

Winnie’s heart melted, and she chuckled. “It’s my honor.”

With that, she tore the paper she wrote on into shreds and flushed them down the toilet bowl.

After that, Winnie looked at the ring on her ring finger and said, “Xavier, we’re moving forward with the schedule. We’ll be executing the plan tonight. If you hear this, please respond.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a message on her phone.

It was from Xavier. Xavier: Got it. Don’t worry. Begin the plan when you see my signal after the sun goes down. Be careful.

Winnie touched her ring. “I got it. You too. I’ll go and prepare now. We’re about to move out.”

Ten minutes later, Winnie was all done with her washing up.

When she got dressed and stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed Christopher missing from the room.
