Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

When she subconsciously turned to look at Xavier, it was to see the latter staring back at her.

Without saying another word, he reached out his hand to pull her toward him.

Wrapped in his embrace, Winnie couldn’t help but shed tears. “You didn’t push Christopher off the building. You’re innocent.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Xavier leaned in to give her a peck on the forehead before replying in a deep voice, “I know. I have clearly not let you down.”

“Yes, you didn’t, but it was I who failed you. I’m sorry to have blindly believed Granny all this while and wrongly accused you. I must have made you miserable. I’m truly sorry.”

“It’s fine. It’s all in the past now.” Xavier stroked Winnie’s long hair to comfort her. “I understand that you must be feeling terrible now, so there’s no need to apologize to me.”

Winnie responded with a gentle shake of her head. “I insist as both you and Christopher deserve it. Considering Granny’s current condition and the fact that I’m her guardian, I must apologize for the harm she has done to the two of you.”

“Fine. Go ahead and do what you need to.” Xavier’s support for Winnie was unconditional. “I accept your apology. Once Captain Bennett has recovered and can see us, we’ll visit him together. After all, I’m still responsible one way or another.”

“All right!” Cognizant that the room was filled with surveillance cameras, Winnie hastily wiped her tears dry before peeling herself away from Xavier’s embrace.

Handing Winnie a tissue, Greta remarked, “I have heard of the case involving Mdm. Sumner and Stuart before. Even though there’s no way we can hold her accountable given her current condition, the truth coming out is an ideal conclusion to the matter. Furthermore, I believe everything will be better going forward.”
