Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 284

Xavier frowned the moment he saw that message.

D*mn it! Why didn’t I see this sooner?

Seeing him gripping his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white, Josiah asked worriedly, “What is it, Xavier? Did something happen?”

“No.” After everything that had happened throughout their few days of separation, Xavier had a feeling Winnie wouldn’t answer the phone even if he called.

However, he still tried calling her anyway, and the result was exactly as he had expected.

Annoyed and frustrated, Xavier slammed his phone on his desk.

He even ripped his necktie off in an attempt to relieve the suffocating sensation.

Nate knew Xavier was trying to call Winnie when he saw the word “Darling” on the screen of his phone. It was obvious that Winnie didn’t answer his call, given his response.

He looked at Xavier and asked hesitantly with a frown, “Did you and Winnie get into a fight over that dead policeman?”

As Xavier was reaching for his phone then, he didn’t answer that question in time.

Josiah walked up to Nate and whispered, “Why would you bring that up? Winnie went back to Yartran because of that!”

Nate furrowed his brows when he heard that. “What’s that supposed to mean? Is she still coming back?”

“She is, but she didn’t specify when. I’d refrain from bringing this up in front of Xavier if I were you.”

Nate clenched his fists tightly. “This is all my fault. None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for me helping Yulissa. Those people wouldn’t have died, and Xavier and Winnie wouldn’t have gotten into a fight.”

He then turned toward Xavier and continued, “Xavier, how about I apologize to Winnie? It was my mistake that led to—”

“Shh…” Xavier cut him off, as Winnie’s call came in all of a sudden.

He immediately answered the phone and heard Winnie saying, “I’m in the mountains right now. The signal here is really terrible.”

Xavier noticed that her voice kept breaking up.

He wanted to ask Winnie if she had erased all of her data on the Chanaean network. On top of that, he also wanted to warn her that Harold might come seeking revenge on her in Chanaea.

Most importantly, he wanted to tell her that he missed her dearly.

However, he changed his mind after he heard her say, “This place is beautiful! The air is really fresh over here!”
