Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Got it,” Winnie acknowledged briefly as a crease appeared between her brows. “Let me know if you have any updates.”

David contemplated briefly before replying, “Let’s just wait for the laboratory results. I will send a few men to keep watch at your office.”

“Sure. Let me send you off.”

Immediately after David left, Winnie gathered the company’s security guards to brief them on some important matters to take note of.

As soon as the meeting ended, the woman received a call from Xavier.

Instinctively, she assumed that word had gotten to the man, which was why he called.

However, from the relaxed tone of his voice, he seemed to be oblivious to what had happened. “I just finished my meeting. What did you do this morning? Are you tired?”

“I’m all right.” Although Winnie had an eventful morning, she felt better after hearing her husband’s voice. “How about you? Are you tired?”

“Hmm…” Xavier chuckled before replying, “I’m aching all over after sitting for a few hours straight. My dear Mrs. Fairchild, would you like to spend your lunch break with me? If you can give me a massage, I will be a very happy and grateful man!”

Amused by the man’s antics, Winnie felt her frustration from what happened earlier instantly dissipate. “Okay,” she replied.

The woman glanced at her watch and realized that it was already noon. “Are you going to buy me a good meal?”

“Of course,” Xavier replied cheerily before continuing, “Where are you now? I’ll go and pick you up.”

“Pick me up?” Winnie arched her brows when she heard that. “Why go through the hassle? I can go there on my own.”

Xavier smiled to himself and replied in a gentle voice, “Because I want to see you as soon as possible.”
