Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Indeed, Winnie returned this time to teach the Garland family a lesson. She only

discovered that Jacinta was searching for her grandson in the Fairchild family a few days

ago, so she didn’t have time to launch a thorough investigation yet. Now that she had

married into the family, it was time for her to know her enemy better. After ending her call

with Jacinta, she gave someone else a quick call. “I need information on the three

generations of the Fairchild family. Send it to my email in an hour. That’s all.” “Hey, you—”

Before the person on the other end of the line could finish his sentence, the call had been

cut. He flashed a resigned smile. She’s efficient as usual. She does fit the bill of a

domineering CEO of a company. Fifty minutes later, Winnie received a detailed report

about the three generations of the Fairchild family. She had just finished reading the report

and switched off her laptop when someone knocked on the door. “Mrs. Fairchild, it’s me,

Mary. Can I open the door and come in?” Winnie’s brows furrowed together, but she still

raised her voice to portray a little girl’s voice. “Oh, Mary. Come on in, Mary.” Thus, Mary

came into the playroom with the guest to see Winnie drawing with a watercolor brush. Her

fingers and clothes were stained with paint. As for her drawing, it looked worse than what

a kindergarten kid could draw. Winnie thought her act would suffice, so she kept her

watercolor brush away. Curious, she pointed at the man with glasses beside Mary and

asked, “Mary, who is the man wearing glasses?” She had actually read about him in the

Fairchild family’s report a few minutes ago. The man’s name was Josiah Houghton. He was

Xavier’s best friend and personal doctor. He had been taking care of Xavier ever since the

latter fell into a coma. Mary had told her before that she wasn’t in charge of the second

floor, for an expert was handling Xavier’s affairs. Obviously, the expert she meant was

Josiah. Josiah most probably knew that Xavier wasn’t in a coma. “This is Dr. Houghton,”

Mary introduced. “He’s in charge of taking care of Mr. Xavier. Mrs. Fairchild, you’re sharing

a room with him now, so there are many things to take note of. Dr. Houghton will let you

know everything. He’ll bring you upstairs now.” Josiah looked like a gentleman, but his

gaze was sharp. Winnie didn’t like how he was observing her. He seemed reluctant to

believe she was mentally challenged and kept scanning her with his eyes behind the

glasses. “No. I don’t want to follow Specky.” Winnie curled into a ball and inched away to a

corner in the room. Fear crept into her gaze as she said, “He’s scary when he looks at me

with his glasses. I don’t want to leave with him! Mary, protect me!” Amused, Mary shot

Josiah a look that seemed to say, “See? I told you she’s dumb.” “Mrs. Fairchild, look what I

have here.” In the end, Mary had to resort to candy to bribe Winnie. Mary discovered that

Winnie would listen to her obediently whenever she offered food. As expected, Winnie was

attracted by the candy. Seeing that, Mary gave the remaining candy in her pocket to

Josiah. “Mrs. Fairchild, listen to Dr. Houghton, and he’ll give you candy.” Winnie followed

Josiah to Xavier’s room on the second floor. However, Xavier was nowhere to be seen in

his bedroom. They heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and realized he was

taking a shower. Knowing Josiah was still observing her, Winnie kept her act and

deliberately drooled everywhere as she sucked on her lollipop. Suddenly, Josiah tossed

one candy to the ground beside Winnie’s feet. He was obviously testing her, so Winnie

stared at the candy for a while before picking it up. It was the first candy. The second

candy was tossed to the TV cabinet, and the third landed at the corner of a wall. The

fourth was dropped into the dustbin. Every time Josiah tossed out a piece of candy, Winnie

would run over to pick it up. She seemed delighted by his actions and allowed herself to

be teased like a dog. I’m trying to insult her, but she doesn’t seem affected at all. Josiah’s

brows furrowed up. If she isn’t mentally challenged, she must be good at putting up an

act! He strode over to her and was about to ask a few more questions when the bathroom

door was pushed open. “That’s enough, Josiah.” It was Xavier, who was done with his

shower. A towel was wrapped around his waist, exposing his upper torso. His expression

was dark as he warned, “Don’t go overboard.” “I just wanted to confirm things. You know

it’s an occupational disease of mine.” Josiah shrugged nonchalantly. “Still, it doesn’t mean

you can bully her this way!” At the moment, Winnie was busy digging through the dustbin

but was laughing hysterically deep down. It looks like Xavier pities me for being dumb. If

that’s the case, I don’t mind making my image more miserable. After finding the candy,

she hurried over to Xavier and hugged him tightly, ignoring the fact that he had just

stepped out of the shower. “Handsome, protect me. Specky is an evil man! He threw away

the candy Mary gave me. They’re mine! Handsome, you should beat him up!” Xavier only

had a towel wrapped around his waist. He felt extremely awkward as Winnie hugged him

tightly and wriggled about. “Winnie.” Xavier stiffened as his voice grew gruff without him

realizing it. “Let me go.” “No!” Winnie tightened her arms around him. “Specky is glaring

at me. I’m scared!” She was no innocent woman. It wouldn’t hurt for her to hug someone

as handsome and built as Xavier. If the chance were to arise, she didn’t mind sleeping

with him a few nights. “Winnie, be good. I’ll teach him a lesson. So just let go of me first,

okay?” How could she… This is pure torture! She has no idea how soft her body is, huh?

Look at her, all pretty and seductive. Sensing the change in Xavier’s body, Winnie knew it

was time to let him off the hook. After all, it wasn’t the right time to satisfy their desires.

She whined, “Okay. Beat him up. You must beat him up! Beat him until he dies!” After

stating her request, she released her grip on Xavier. Alas, the towel was already loose as

she was moving around earlier. Winnie pinned the towel to his body when she hugged him

a while ago. Now that she had released him, the towel naturally dropped to the ground.

“Wow!” Curious, Winnie squatted down and asked, “What is this?” Xavier, who often

scowled, grimaced, or looked sullen, had never blushed in the past twenty or more years

of his life. That day, his cheeks suddenly flamed. Josiah’s cheeks also turned pink even

though he had seen countless patients’ bodies in his career. She has a cheeky grin on her

lips even though Xavier had just flashed himself. No woman in their right mind will act this

way! I guess she’s really not acting.
