Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 104

Rufus wanted to say something, but he could not explain it to Benjamin with others around. In the end, all he could do was sigh and walk away helplessly.

On the other side, Yulissa felt slightly better after seeing Benjamin hit and scold Winnie in front of everyone.

I didn’t actually want Xavier to die, but I had no choice. Zyon and Winnie are to blame for everything! Besides, I came here genuinely hoping that the Fairchild family wouldn’t give up on Xavier. After all, he might just be alive…

Five minutes later, Josiah was applying an ice pack to Winnie’s face in his office.

She was still mad Benjamin as her face was all swollen up from his slap. That jerk…

“Ow! It hurts! Be gentle, Bad Specky!” Winnie exclaimed in pain when the towel came into contact with her reddened cheek.

“Hahaha! Oh, how the tables have turned! Do you remember how I was asking you to go easy on me outside the elevator earlier? You never did,” Josiah replied.

Winnie took a deep breath to compose herself. Is he seriously thinking of revenge now?

The next thing Josiah knew, her tears started flowing all of a sudden.

As this was his first time encountering someone who could turn on the waterworks at will, Josiah was caught completely off guard and began to panic.

“All right, all right! I’ll be gentle, okay? Jeez… Why do you keep crying? Are you a crybaby or something?”

Even so, Winnie’s tears would not stop flowing.

Unbeknownst to him, her crying had nothing to do with her acting skills whatsoever.

She actually had a condition that would cause her veins on her forehead to throb, which would then result in tears rolling down.

Apparently, placing the ice pack on her face had the same effect.

Winnie gave Josiah a smack on the shoulder and yanked the ice pack away from her temple.

Seeing her in such a state, Josiah whipped his phone out and took two pictures of her, much to her dismay.

“What are you doing, Bad Specky?”

Why would he take a picture of me crying with my face all swollen? What the heck is wrong with him?

“Oh, nothing much! I’m just going to send this picture to Handsome, that’s all! Ah, crap! My phone died! Wait here while I charge it, okay?”

“Delete them!”

“Why? It’s not like you can tell if you look ugly, anyway! By the way, where’s your phone? I’ll give your granny a call and send you two home. You’re both staying at Xavier’s condominium in Aqua Moana, right? I should get you two out of here before Hamish takes you back to the Garland residence.”

Not wanting to answer his series of questions, Winnie covered her face and headed for the door.

Josiah grabbed her by the arm and asked, “Where are you going?”

Winnie was about to say something when they heard a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Josiah called out.

Seconds later, Louis entered the office and reported, “Dr. Houghton, Mrs. Fairchild, Hamish is here. Mr. Fairchild wants me to bring her over to him.”

Josiah frowned. “No. Hamish doesn’t even treat Dumbo like a person! Go tell Mr. Fairchild that I’ve taken her away.”
