Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Don’t worry, Mom. I know what to do. By the way, you said Winnie got back. Did she realize something was off?”

“No.” Jacinta thought about it and added, “I was packing when she came back, so I was caught by surprise. However, I’ve made up an excuse, and she bought it readily. I don’t think she suspects me.”

“Okay, I’ll handle the rest. Mom, you must make sure Winnie doesn’t discover anything. After all, Xavier only listens to her. If she also starts to suspect you, our plans will be in vain.”

“I know. Stuart, I don’t care what you do to Xavier, but you can’t hurt Winnie. She might not be related to me by blood, but to me, she’s my granddaughter.”

Winnie happened to overhear Jacinta’s last sentence when she stepped out of the bathroom.

She had been thinking about Jacinta when she was taking a shower.

Someone must’ve bullied Granny when I wasn’t around. Otherwise, why would she suddenly want to return to her hometown alone?

Thus, she quickly took a shower and came out to hear Jacinta talking to someone on the phone.

She asked, “Granny, who are you talking to? Why did you mention my name? Was it the person who called when I arrived earlier?”

Jacinta didn’t want Winnie to think she was acting suspicious, so she didn’t close the door when she made the call.
