Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Winnie knitted her brows in response. Not many people would use that tone when calling Xavier’s phone and also address her directly.

Moreover, the gruff voice sounded familiar to Winnie. It was one that she had a deep impression of.

Just before she could clarify if it was Xavier’s father on the line, Benjamin preempted her. “Why are you answering Xavier’s phone? Where is he?”

His hostile tone brought a slight frown to Winnie’s face as she replied flatly, “He’s busy right now and can’t reach his phone.”

Winnie knew that she and Benjamin had nothing to talk about. Moreover, she couldn’t bring herself to curry favor with him.

Hence, she replied politely, “However, he’ll be back soon. I’ll get him to return your call later. Is that all right?”

Despite Winnie’s distinguished identity, Benjamin still didn’t approve of her, a view that hadn’t changed since the beginning.

In his mind, she would always be the clown who pretended to be a retard just so that she could seek vengeance for her father.

Obviously, that wasn’t the root of his dissatisfaction with her.

What infuriated him the most was her undue influence over his son.
