Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Lucas subsequently took his seat opposite them.

The grim look on Xavier’s face told him that he had somehow imposed himself on them.

Nonetheless, as someone who never minced his words, Lucas spoke unabashedly.

“Winnie, how can you forget your friend just because you have a husband? Can’t I drop by for a casual visit anymore? Have you forgotten how we used to always chat late into the night? We even talked about our hopes and dreams while admiring the stars and moon in the night sky. I didn’t expect you to have forgotten me after being consumed by love. I’m so hurt!”

Winnie was rendered speechless. “Why are you being so melodramatic? Have you been reading too many trashy novels? Do you know why you’re so annoying?”

“Why?” Lucas was indeed clueless.

Winnie didn’t hold back her tongue. “It’s all because of that blabbermouth of yours. You had better stop trying to sow discord in front of my husband. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you if he beats you up.”

“Does our friendship not mean anything now that you’ve found love?” Nonetheless, Lucas was just teasing her and knew when not to cross the line.

Hence, he quickly brought up the real reason why he was there. “I just came from my sister’s. She told me that you’re done with your business here and will be going back soon. Since I figured that you haven’t had the opportunity to unwind recently, why don’t you spend more time in Rodunst? There’s no need to hurry home. Anyway, I rushed over because I was worried that you would leave overnight. I just wanted to volunteer my services as a tour guide since I know the place like the back of my hand. Also, I’ll be the most attentive guide you’ll ever have. I’ll be by your side when you need me and happily let you toss me aside when you don’t. So, what do you think?”

Xavier was at a loss for words, for he wanted to kick Lucas out at that very moment.
