Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 269

“Not telling me, are you?” Winnie licked her molars. “Then why did you call me?”

“I didn’t!” Yulissa’s ability to lie through her teeth was masterful. “I simply picked up a phone. When I saw it kept ringing, I got curious and returned the call.”

“Hah.” Winnie was amused. “Are you going to tell me you don’t recognize the words ‘Josiah Houghton’ saved as the caller ID?”

“I do.” Yulissa seemed to be in a good mood. “But how would I know you’d be the one to pick up the phone? What, are you angry? Panicking, even?”

“Cease your nonsense!” Glancing at Nate, Winnie spoke. “You took my lover’s phone. How can I not be panicking when I’m suspecting there’s a chance you may have hurt him?”

“Ah, I see.” A smile formed on Yulissa’s face. “Who’s your lover, then? Is it Xavier? Or Christopher? They seem to be together right now. Who would you choose if I asked you to pick one of them?”

A brief silence ensued before Winnie glanced at Nate and asked with amusement, “Why should I have to choose?”

Her answer shocked Yulissa somewhat. “Oh? Are you telling me you want both? You can’t have your cake and eat it too, you know. There’s no such good thing in this world.”

“Yulissa White.” Winnie’s voice turned cold. “Don’t judge me using your standards. I don’t want to waste my time talking nonsense to you anymore. Nate is currently in my possession. My gun is pointing straight at his head right now. If you don’t want anything to happen to him, I suggest you behave yourself. Don’t get any ideas about Xavier, and don’t give me a perverted multiple-choice question again. Otherwise, the only thing you’ll get is his corpse after I blow his brains out.”

If Winnie weren’t talking to Yulissa at the moment, Nate, with his explosive personality, definitely wouldn’t have tolerated Winnie’s words.

However, at that moment, he was curious to witness Yulissa’s reaction. He wanted to know if the woman he loved deeply really cared about him or not.

Hence, he couldn’t help but speak up. He was so nervous that even his voice was trembling slightly. “I don’t want to die, Yulissa. Winnie’s not joking right now. Please stop fighting with her, okay? Just allow them to do what they want and let us return to our own everyday life, okay? If you continue to irritate her, she really will kill me.”

After Nate finished talking, Yulissa actually fell silent, and that scared him.

He felt as though his heart had plummeted to his feet.

Taking in how disappointed he looked, Winnie couldn’t help but be amused. This is what Yulissa is truly like. I wonder what Nate was expecting.

Additionally, she didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire. “What’s the matter, Yulissa? Are you afraid now? If you want him—”

Yulissa directly cut her off, having no patience to listen to Winnie’s remaining words. “Afraid? Hahaha! Did I hear that wrong, Winnie? You said I’m afraid? Which one of your eyes saw that I’m afraid? Let me tell you something. If you want to take Nate’s life, go ahead if you have the guts to pull the trigger. I won’t beg you for his life, and I most certainly won’t feel afraid because of this.”

It seemed as though Yulissa had been triggered by the usage of the word “afraid.” The instant she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

When Winnie called her again, she found out the phone had been turned off.
