Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Eyeing the accomplice in front of her, she scoffed, “Are you here to apologize or sow discord? If you really want me to forgive you, then don’t ever appear in front of me again. Get lost.”

Having been deceived by Yulissa and having experienced Harold’s merciless torture, Nate had become a more collected person.

He would not fly into a rage even if Winnie were to chase him out of the house that instant. “Okay. I’ll leave. Just call me if there’s anything I can do to help. I’ll do my very best.”

“Forget it,” snapped Winnie, watching him leave. She did not return to the room until she heard a car engine coming to life.

Xavier was looking out the window when she entered.

Hearing the door close, he immediately let go of the curtains and turned around.

He fixed his eyes on her and asked, “Is Nate gone? How did the conversation go? Did he make you angry? Why do you look so terrible?”

“No.” Winnie walked over and hugged him, pressing her face against his chest. “It’s just that I haven’t made peace with myself. He mentioned Christopher again, and it made my heart feel heavy. He said I hate you when in reality, I don’t. But he’s right about one thing. I avoided you. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. We’ve talked about many things and cleared up many misunderstandings, but I haven’t bared my soul to you. Remember the time when I went hiking? I actually encountered an avalanche. The kind of force that can swallow an entire mountain is horrifying. When I watched the blocks of snow fall continuously, I suddenly realized how small and weak a human life can be in the face of a disaster. I think I’ve figured it out. His death was undeniably a sad and tragic incident, but not every tragedy can be avoided. It has already happened, and there’s nothing we can do to reverse it. What we can do now is appreciate everything we have. On top of that, we must do everything in our power to make it up to his family. I was actually feeling horrible before telling you all this. I feel much better now. Xavier… we’ve wronged him.”

Xavier’s heart broke when he heard the woman he loved blaming herself. “No. It’s not your fault. I was the one who wronged him. I’ll do my best to make it up to his family.”

Winnie nodded, the resentment she held against him slowly disappearing.
