Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

She reckoned Xavier would get out of the car to look for her after sensing she was gone for some time.

However, she didn’t expect to hear Xavier and Christopher’s voices so soon.

Therefore, after they were done discussing, she immediately turned around and waved at Xavier.

Although the moon was not visible that night, the lights from the twinkling stars adorning the night sky layered the ground with a silver glow.

As they weren’t very far apart, Xavier could vaguely see Winnie grinning at him in a relaxed and carefree manner.

At that instant, a thought popped into his mind. I’m sure she isn’t cheating on me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be smiling at me like that.

Feeling the heavy burden lifted off his chest, Xavier hastened in her direction.

He realized regardless of his state of mind, whether he was feeling angry, restless, happy, or relaxed, nothing could ever impede him from wanting to be reunited with her.

He strode forward and arrived next to her in no time. Without uttering a word, Xavier pulled Winnie into his embrace.

She rubbed her face affectionately against his chest and looked up at him. “What’s the matter? I notice you like to hug me this way recently.”

“Hm.” He held her tighter. “It’s nothing. I just feel like doing it. Why are you out here enjoying the breeze by yourself without asking me to accompany you?”

“That’s because I know you will come looking for me.” Winnie held his hand as she smiled. “Come sit with me.”

“Okay.” Holding her in his arms, Xavier sat down on the grass. He asked her, “What did you talk about with Christopher earlier?” Winnie glanced at him.

“Why do you ask? Don’t tell me you’re jealous again. I risked my life to rescue him this time, so he thanked me and asked about how I was doing. We also discussed our subsequent plans, but I told him we’ll follow your lead.”

“Is that so?”

“What else do you expect? We are considered very good friends who have experienced life-and-death situations together. Our friendship has undergone and survived the toughest challenges. Can you quit assuming there’s something romantic going on between Christopher and me?”

“You’re right. You may not have these ideas, and I can also be magnanimous and heed your advice, but can you guarantee he’s not harboring such thoughts?”

Winnie could not help but frown after listening to Xavier.

“It sounds like you’re really overthinking this matter. You’re so petty. I’m already lying in your arms, so what else do you have to worry about? Once we return, we’ll ask Professor White to concoct the antidote for you.”

He shot an assertive look at her. “I don’t need the antidote. I only want you. Anyway, I forbid you from having further intimate interactions with Christopher. Otherwise, he will bear the consequences.”

“You’re getting jealous too easily.”

Winnie sensed he wasn’t kidding, but she knew she couldn’t persuade him at that moment.

If she had told him not to think that way or asked him not to hurt Christopher, Xavier’s envy would undoubtedly be intensified.

Since she couldn’t convince Xavier with her words, Winnie decided to coax him using another method.

Fully utilizing her status as a wounded person, she mercilessly pinned him on the grass and lay on his chest while appreciating the scenery featuring sparkling stars and fireflies.

Sleeping on the grass on such a wonderful night was, without a doubt, a better experience than resting in the cramped space inside the car.

Having said that, Winnie remained vigilant no matter how much she enjoyed the ambiance.

She would wake up even when she heard the slightest noise.

And this time, the source of the disturbance was Xavier talking in his sleep.

Initially, she heard him murmuring the word “Dumbo.”

Winnie was amused after hearing that.

Sometimes, she even suspected whether the version of her he loved the most was when she pretended to be a fool instead of her current persona.

Nevertheless, both versions are part of me.

Then, Xavier suddenly furrowed his brows and muttered, “Christopher, you’d better stay away from her. She’s mine. I’ll kill you if you look at her again!”

Winnie was rendered speechless. There’s really no end to his jealousy. He wants to kill Christopher even in his dreams. What a dangerous thought!

The sky slowly brightened.

After Xavier opened his eyes, he noticed Winnie was already sitting beside him.

He immediately propped himself up as well. “Why did you wake up so early?”

Winnie rolled her eyes at him. “Thanks to someone, I could not fall back asleep after waking up an hour ago.”

He knitted his brows. He knew she was referring to him when she mentioned “someone.”

“What did I do?” He ventured a guess. “Did I snore in my sleep and woke you up?”
