Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)
Chapter 405
“Okay.” Winnie stood up after Josiah was done measuring her blood pressure. “It's still early. Do you have any plans later?”
Josiah kept his equipment and asked, “What about you? Do you have any plans?”
“Exercise,” Winnie replied. “It's my daily routine. Why? Do you want to join me?”
“Sure.” Josiah was eager to follow. “So, what do you normally do?”
“Oh, I usually go for things I can do alone. But since you're joining, we can go for something we can do together. I'm in the mood for fencing today. Are you up for that?” Ever since losing her eyesight, Winnie had fallen in love with fencing.
Not only could fencing train her hearing and response time, but it could also improve her agility.
Josiah was taken aback by her suggestion. “Are you kidding me? Fencing? Really?”
“Why? You don't trust me?” Winnie looked confident as ever. “After getting a taste of my fencing skill, Xavier was really impressed with it. Ah, is it because you don't know how to fence?”
“Do you really think I don't know how to fence? Your husband and I grew up together, and I was his training partner. I had to follow him and learn everything he was learning. So, if he knows how to fence, then you can be sure that I know it too. You'll be begging for mercy once I start. Mark my words.”
“Oh?” His confidence piqued Winnie's interest. “Xavier lost to me, though. You're implying that you're better than him, then.”
“Oh, you'll see.” Josiah smiled. “I might not measure up to Xavier in other things, but I'm confident that I'm better than him at medical skills and fencing. You can judge for yourself afterward.”
“Great, let's go!”
The two of them changed their clothes and went to the fencing room.
It was Winnie's first time competing against Josiah. Hence, she had never encountered his fencing techniques and style before. Moreover, as she was visually impaired, she suffered a crushing defeat in the first round.
She got better in the second round, but the results were the same. As Josiah said, he was good at it, so Winnie lost to him.
Regardless, Winnie did not give up. Soon, they were in the third round.
Josiah couldn't bear to see Winnie being defeated repeatedly, so he intentionally went easy on her.
However, Winnie was no fool and immediately realized what he was doing.
She forcefully thrust her sword at Josiah and said, “This is no fun. I'm honestly trying to learn from you. I'm not going to play with you anymore if you keep doing this.”
Josiah was overcome with indignance. Not only did he have to suffer the thrust, but he was also threatened.
However, Winnie's mock threat worked. He began to fence more seriously.
After three rounds, Winnie was already familiar with his fencing style. Hence, even though he put his best foot forward in the last few rounds, he didn't manage to win any.
As a result, Josiah's desire to win intensified, and he refused to stop playing. “Last round. Come on, let's play one last round. I don't believe that I'll still lose to you. This is unbelievable.”
Winnie chuckled and said, “Are you going to look down on your opponents again in the future?”
“No, never. Come on, one last round.” Josiah was already in a ready stance.
However, Winnie declined the request for a last game.
She took off her mask and wiped her sweat. “No thanks. We already had the last round.”
“Are you tired?” Josiah took off his mask as well, but he was still itching for another round. “Why don't we take a half an hour break before we go for another round?”
“No!” Winnie rejected him outright.
Josiah frowned and said, “Why? I'm asking you for a favor, which is something I don't often do, and you won't even give me this opportunity?”
Winnie smiled. “I can't. Time's up.”
“What time?”
Winnie's phone rang right then.
“Ah.” Winnie smiled. “He's right on time. Xavier's video-calling me. It's our daily routine, so I'm ditching you.”
“All right, then.” Josiah heaved an exaggerated sigh. “How heartless.”
Nonetheless, he went over to Winnie's phone and brought it back to her.
“Come, I've invited your husband here.”
Winnie grinned. “Be a lamb and answer the call.”
“Yes, Ms. Garland,” Josiah quipped and put the call through.
Xavier's face appeared on the screen.
He was not surprised to see Josiah on the other line and asked, “Are you fencing with Winnie?”
“No.” Josiah furrowed his brows. “I'm torturing myself.”
“Hah.” Winnie couldn't help but chortle.
