Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 264

Winnie was exhausted. Despite the bumpy ride, she still fell asleep with her head on Xavier’s shoulder.

However, it was not a good sleep. Groggily, she returned to the waking world with Xavier’s voice. He sounded like he was on a call.

Her eyes were half-opened, but she noticed that the sky was still dark. Thus, she muttered, “What time is it?”

By the time she asked the question, Xavier had ended his call. He glanced at his phone and replied, “It’s thirty minutes past twelve. We’ll be meeting with Christopher and the others soon.”

Winnie continued mumbling, “We’re reaching Salinsburgh so soon?”

Xavier smiled. “No, we’re only resting here for a while. I’ve asked around and found out that the authorities at Salinsburgh have been strict recently. No cars are allowed in or out of the city after twelve midnight, so we’ll only be able to go there when the sun comes back up again.”

Winnie nodded. “It’s great to have you around. I don’t need to think about anything.”

Xavier lowered his head to plant two soft kisses on her forehead. “I’ve always been great. Did you only find out about that now?”

Winnie was still sleepy. She closed her eyes and quietly laughed. “It’s not too late to find out now.”

Xavier smiled and ruffled her hair. “Rest well. I’ll wake you when you’re there. Why don’t you lie down instead? Lay your head on my lap.”

“Okay.” Winnie moved toward the side before lying down on Xavier’s leg. “This is much more comfortable. By the way, who were you calling when I was sleeping?”

“Josiah,” Xavier replied. “We’re leaving this place soon, right? We can’t possibly ditch him here.”

“Haha!” A chuckle left Winnie’s lips. “I almost forgot about him. Where is he right now? How is he?”

“You don’t need to worry about him. He’s like a roach. Nothing will happen to someone like him.”

“Good to hear that.” Winnie lifted her arm to touch Xavier’s arm. “If anything happens to either of you, I’ll be overwhelmed with guilt. I was the reason the two of you came to this darn place.”

Xavier held her hand and played with her fingers. “Why are you saying these things when we’re about to go back?”

“I’ll stop, then. I don’t really want to remember this moment ever again.”

“Don’t think about it anymore. I’ll bring you around to do happier and more meaningful things in the future. I won’t let you have the time to recall these moments. I’ve already made a plan. Once we’re back, we’ll hold the wedding. Does that sound good, Winnie?”

When Xavier heard nothing from Winnie, he lowered his head, only to discover that she had fallen asleep again.

Xavier did not know whether to feel amused or resigned. She had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye, and she had missed out on the important part of his proposal.

Still, it mattered not. He could ask her again after she woke.

Approximately half an hour later, the car came to a stop.

The car with Christopher in it was right in front of them. This was the place they were going to rest at before they depart for Salinsburgh before the sun rose again.

Mason was in the car in front, so when the car fully stopped, Greta exited the car. She was planning to head to the front to talk to her significant other.

The sound of Greta opening the door woke Winnie.

As she had been tensed for long periods of time, Winnie bolted upright upon hearing the sound.

Xavier, who had been closing his eyes to rest, was startled by Winnie’s abrupt motion as he too, opened his eyes.

“What’s the matter, Winnie? Did you have a nightmare?” He held her hands.

Only after Winnie heard Xavier’s voice did she remember that she was already away from the wolf’s den.
