Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Winnie: Ok.

Just as Winnie typed out the two letters, Jacinta could not help but scold her lightly,

“Winnie, why do you like looking at your phone when you’re eating? Look at you. Some of

your pudding has fallen onto the table.”

“Ah?” Winnie had, in fact, not realized. When she lowered her head, she quickly noticed a

small clump of pudding on the table.

She had gotten a custard pudding with salted caramel drizzle. A few drops of caramel had

even dripped onto her white shirt.

Annoyance flared up in her heart at once. She reached for a napkin and started to clean

her shirt. For a moment, she stopped texting Xavier.

On the other end of the phone, Xavier quickly tucked his phone away at the sight of

Yulissa.

Upon seeing Xavier keeping his phone away, Yulissa tried to keep a calm expression even

when she found the whole situation hilarious.

She enjoyed the fact that she could spy on Xavier’s phone whenever she liked, despite the

fact that Xavier would hide it from her.

She had seen the conversation between him and Winnie. In other words, she knew that he

was lying to Winnie.

Xavier was living with her under the same roof, yet he had lied to Winnie by saying that he

had been in Aqua Moana all the while. Yulissa could not help but snicker secretly.

Before they left the shop, Winnie bought another custard pudding for takeaway.

Jacinta found her actions a little odd. “Are you still hungry? Why don’t you just eat at the

shop?”

“I’m almost full, just that I might still want a couple more bites later.” Winnie casually

came up with an explanation.

Afterward, she brought Jacinta to her unit in Aqua Moana.

She rarely stayed in that unit, much less cook in it. Hence, there was not a single trace of

food in the kitchen.

Aqua Moana was located in the most elite residential area in Avenport. There were no

shops nearby for them to eat. Therefore, Jacinta decided to cook them a meal herself.

Winnie had originally planned to follow Jacinta to buy some groceries, but Jacinta knew

that her granddaughter had her own things to take care of and reassured Winnie that she

would be fine on her own.

“You don’t have to come with me. Focus on what you need to do. I’ll be fine on my own.

I’m not going to buy a lot of things, so I can manage by myself.”

As a matter of fact, Winnie did have something she needed to discuss with Nathaniel.

Because of that, she stopped insisting on following.

Once Jacinta had left, Winnie immediately entered the study and switched on the

computer.

However, Nathaniel had just received an urgent and more important call. Without any

other choice, his meeting with Winnie was delayed by a couple of minutes.

Because it was just a ten-minute delay, Winnie did not want to focus on any other tasks.

Since Jacinta was also not in the unit, Winnie decided that she might as well bring the

custard pudding, that she had bought, upstairs.

Directly a floor above would be Xavier’s territory. He had mentioned that he wanted some

custard pudding.

Within two minutes, Winnie arrived on the thirty-second floor.

Even though she had the password to the door, she still rang the doorbell, thinking that

there was someone inside.

However, no one answered the door even after several minutes.

She thought that it was odd.

Even if it was not convenient for Xavier to move around in a wheelchair, five minutes had

passed. He should be able to reach the door even if he crawled on the floor.

Could something have happened to him?

At that thought, Winnie immediately punched in the numbers on the padlock and opened

the door.

When she entered the unit, she could not find a glimpse of Xavier in any of the rooms.

She had even inspected the bed in the master’s bedroom. There was no sign of someone

sleeping on it. From the looks of it, Xavier had not returned home last night.

But he said on WhatsApp that he has been at home.

Winnie took out her phone and opened the chat between her and Xavier before quickly

sending a text.

Are you still in Aqua Moana right now?

Xavier once again replied within seconds: Yeah, why?

Hah! F*cking liar!

She could not believe that Xavier had lied to her.

Lifting the corners of her lips to a smirk, Winnie stopped responding to Xavier’s texts.

As she was leaving, she tossed the custard pudding into the bin in the master’s bedroom.

The contents spilled, filling the room with the sweet scent of custard and salted caramel.

Meanwhile, their entire conversation had been read by Yulissa. Not even a single

punctuation mark was missed.

Seeing that Xavier kept lying to Winnie because of herself, Yulissa could not help but feel a

surge of happiness in her heart.

She was even beginning to think that if she did not try to do anything to separate them,

Xavier’s lies would have gone to waste.

After all, a single lie would usually require a hundred more lies to cover it up.

If Xavier were to tell Winnie a hundred lies, then the two of them would probably not last

any longer.

Trust between two people was the most fragile thing in the entire world. With just a few

misunderstandings, even the truest love could turn into the strongest hatred within a few

months.

As of then, Yulissa could not wait for all of that to unfold.

Spread the love
