Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 105

“What do you mean? Where has she gone? Why did she leave?”

Louis could feel Xavier’s anxiety and impatience through the phone.

He then told Xavier what happened at Rufus’ ward earlier.

Sure enough, Xavier did not take kindly to hearing about Benjamin slapping Winnie and abusing her verbally.

“Why didn’t you tell me about my dad’s return sooner?” he questioned angrily.

Dad was so dissatisfied with Winnie that he gave me a stern warning a while back.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Fairchild. This happened because I didn’t do my job well enough. Hamish has taken Mrs. Fairchild with him, and Dr. Houghton is going after them as we speak. Dr. Houghton tried to convince Mrs. Fairchild to stay, but she insisted on returning to the Garland residence. I think…”

“You think what? Stop beating around the bush! Get to the point!” Xavier urged him impatiently.

“I think Mrs. Fairchild might be angry.”

Xavier was really worried when he first heard about Hamish taking Winnie away.

However, he soon calmed down upon recalling that Winnie was not actually mentally challenged.

That woman is smart and extremely capable. Hamish wouldn’t be able to take her away if she didn’t want him to. Winnie must’ve returned to the Garland residence of her own accord, so I have no reason to worry about her safety. I am, however, concerned about her being mad at me. After all, Dad slapped her because of me…

“By the way, Mr. Fairchild…”

“What is it?” Xavier asked as he put the phone on speaker and began texting his driver on WhatsApp.

Louis lowered his voice as he continued, “Mr. Rufus has told Mr. Benjamin about you being alive. Mr. Benjamin wants you to remain in your condominium tonight. He said he’ll pay you a visit soon.”

Xavier’s hands trembled slightly when he heard that. “Heh, what’s that supposed to mean?”

I believe Mr. Benjamin has made it very obvious that he doesn’t want Xavier to go see Winnie. There’s no way someone as smart as Xavier wouldn’t be able to figure it out! Why would he ask me a question he already knows the answer to? Does he intend on going against Mr. Benjamin’s orders?

Xavier was indeed planning on having his driver take him to the Garland residence.

Unbeknownst to him, Benjamin was right behind Louis, so he had heard everything Xavier said.

D*mn it! I can’t believe my son is still madly in love with that dumb*ss!
