Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

The side collision had caused the door on Josiah’s side to be dented inward. Thankfully, the passengers in the back seats seemed to be fine.

However, the impact was so powerful that Rachel almost fell off her seat. Winnie helped her up while asking Josiah, “Are you okay? Are you injured?”

Josiah had managed to stop the car, but his head had still slammed on the steering wheel.

“D*mn it! What on earth is going on?” he cursed under his breath, feeling the massive bump on his head.

Their situation was so chaotic that no one bothered to reply to Xavier.

Subsequently, Xavier panicked more when he did not know what was going on.

Soon, his anxious voice rang out again. “Talk to me! What happened to you guys? Did Harold’s men catch up to you?”

Still, no one responded to him.

Xavier felt he had been waiting for a response for ages when, in truth, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Winnie and Josiah did not answer him because they, too, had the same concern as Xavier.

They feared the person who crashed into them was Harold. Thus, they had no time to answer his questions.

Josiah was ready to drive the car away, but the collision had caused the entire car to be stuck in between a row of trees and the other car.

On top of that, the right tire had fallen into a pit by the side of the road. It was impossible for him to drive it away, and that realization left him livid.

Meanwhile, Winnie was momentarily stunned when she looked out of the car windows. Immediately after that, she knitted her brows and called out urgently, “Josiah! Josiah, calm down!”

Without turning to look at her, Josiah snapped, “How am I supposed to calm down?”

Xavier, on the other hand, gave up on waiting for an answer. “I’m going back to look for you guys!”

Winnie hurriedly stopped him. “There’s no need for that! It’s Mason and Greta. It’s their car!”

Before Xavier could even react, Josiah had already lost his cool. “What? Why did they knock into our car? Have they lost their minds?”

With that, he lifted his head and looked out of the window.

Just then, Greta had already gotten out of the car.

She had never met Josiah before, nor did she know Winnie was in that car when the vehicles collided.

It was not until she walked over to the other car that she realized who was in it. She exclaimed, “Ms. Garland? Why are you here?”

Winnie stared at Greta, her frown deepening. “I was about to ask you the same. Why did you ram into us?”

Greta did not know how to respond. “We didn’t do it on purpose. We encountered Harold’s men outside the hospital, and our car got shot, which caused problems with our brakes. Then, we received an order from Mr. Fairchild telling us to take this road to Yeringham. We didn’t want to cause you guys any delay, so we sped all the way here. Who would’ve known your car would be here the moment we exited the junction? I swear, Mason really did hit the brakes, but we were speeding so fast that we didn’t manage to stop in time. We would’ve slowed down if we knew you were ahead of us. Man… This is such a huge misunderstanding. You won’t cut our pay, will you, Ms. Garland?”

Winnie rolled her eyes at Greta. “Well, you should consider yourself lucky for not killing me. Otherwise, you two won’t get a single cent.”

When she finished her sentence, she turned to the phone and said, “There you go, Xavier. You better not come over. We should hurry on. There’s no time to lose.”

“All right. Actually, I just wanted to tell you they’ve caught up to you. You guys should hurry up,” Xavier said grimly.

“Okay,” responded Winnie.

Josiah, too, promised, “Don’t worry. We won’t fall behind.”

He hung up as soon as he finished speaking because holding the device while driving was a hassle.

The moment he put away the phone, he heard Winnie opening the car door.
