Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Thinking Josiah probably hadn’t eaten, she bought two sets of breakfast on the way there.

While making her way to Josiah’s office, Winnie overheard a conversation between a few nurses when she walked past the nurses’ station on the eighth floor.

“Isn’t Dr. Houghton working a little too hard? He has been working overtime for three days in a row! He went home really late last night and came in early this morning! I don’t think he managed to get any sleep at all!”

“I know, right? I don’t know why he’s working so hard when he’s already so rich! If I were him, I’d just kick back and relax every day!”

Winnie paused in her tracks when she heard them mention Josiah.

One of the nurses noticed her sudden pause and asked, “What brings you here, Ms. Garland? Is there something you need help with?”

Winnie flashed her a smile and replied, “Oh, nothing. I just came to see Dr. Houghton.”

Halfway through her sentence, Winnie noticed someone who looked a lot like Greta walking past the corridor.

She then quickly placed the food on the counter and told the nurse, “This breakfast is for Dr. Houghton. Please bring it to him.”

Before the nurse could even respond, Winnie turned around and ran after the person she had seen earlier.

After a brief pause, the nurse brought the food over to Josiah’s office.

Josiah was changing and had just removed his white coat when the nurse came in through the door.

“What is it?” he asked when he saw the plastic bag in her hand.

The nurse placed the food on his desk and said, “It’s breakfast. You haven’t eaten, right, Dr. Houghton?”

Josiah turned her offer down without any hesitation. “Thanks, but I’m about to head out now. Please take the food away.”

“But this is from Ms. Garland. I don’t think I should be taking it away,” the nurse said.
