Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

All that was left was to wait for the results.

She had initially planned on heading home since Rodunst and Chanaea were neighboring countries, and the flight would only take a little over two hours.

Xavier, however, rejected Winnie’s suggestion.

On the one hand, he didn’t want her to tire herself out from the traveling. On the other, he wanted to spend a relaxing time with her.

The pace of life in Avenport was way too fast, especially when compared to Rodunst’s.

Moreover, Winnie and Xavier had already discussed vacation plans after their return from Manchernius. Alas, they had to postpone the trip because they were worried about Harold showing up to exact revenge.

Now that the latter was dead, they could finally feel more at ease.

Later that night, the couple stayed in their hotel room and lay on the bed.

“Are there any places in Rodunst you particularly want to visit?” Xavier asked. “Let’s just extend our trip here and enjoy ourselves.”

Winnie snuggled closer and rested her head on the man’s shoulder. “Yes. My dream is to have a short stay on their island. I’ll sleep in as much as I want and wake up to sunbathe at the beach. Then, I’ll go scuba diving in the afternoon and bring back a haul of the freshest seafood. We can have seafood chowder on one night and paella on the other! When night falls, we’ll settle into our deck chairs and listen to the wind and the waves… That’s what I had previously planned, anyway. Now that my eyes are in this condition, I can’t do any of it. Hmm… I guess I could still go for a swim, but given how bad I am with directions in the water, I’m afraid I might swim further and further away from shore. So, we can forget about my plans. What about you? Is there anywhere you want to visit?”

“In all honesty, I don’t. I’m happy to go wherever you want to,” Xavier replied as he hugged Winnie. “You know, other than diving, everything else that you mentioned is perfectly doable… Come on, let’s do it. I’ll make the arrangements immediately, and you won’t have to worry about a thing. All you have to do is wait for my freshly caught seafood.”

Upon hearing that, Winnie playfully tweaked his ear. “Really? Are you sure you know how to fish?”
