Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Okay. Winnie called me just now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now,” Xavier said.

“All right. She called me too. You don’t think she has guessed something, do you?”

“What’s there to guess?” Xavier retorted, then continued, “It’s not like it’s shady for us to call each other. All we’re doing is withholding the fact that we are investigating Jacinta. I don’t want it to affect our relationship before I gather any solid evidence.”

Josiah hummed in response and said, “Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t tell her.”

“I know. I trust you.”

With that, the two of them quickly hung up.

Around ten minutes later, Josiah took out his phone and replied to Winnie’s message because he figured she would have ended her call with Xavier by that time.

He texted: I’m at home waiting for your arrival, Ms. Garland.

Winnie replied almost immediately: Wait. She reached Josiah’s doorstep in less than five minutes.

Josiah was pleasantly surprised the moment he opened the door and saw Winnie carrying a bowl of pomegranates.

“Have you come all the way to give me these?” Josiah asked in disbelief.

Winnie shot him an annoyed look. “Why else am I here? Is there someone else staying here? Seriously though, I thought I saw someone just now.”

“Don’t you try to scare me. I don’t believe in ghosts. Are you only giving me these pomegranates because you can’t finish them, and you feel like it’s a pity throwing them away?”

Speechless, Winnie snatched the bowl of pomegranates back and said, “You’re so fussy. Give them back if you don’t want them. I could’ve peeled fewer pomegranates if I can’t finish these.”
