Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 115

Downstairs, Winnie called out to Jacinta, and to Xavier’s chagrin, she went into the building with Christopher.

Xavier’s face darkened instantly.

He left his house and went into the elevator with his wheelchair.

Ever since he discovered that Winnie had faked her condition, Xavier had always felt conflicted. He wanted to know all her secrets—every single one of them—yet he knew that Winnie had an ego, and was opinionated, so he had been waiting for her to open up to him on her own, but what he learned that day was the last straw.

Yes, I lied to her, but that lie is nothing compared to hers! It’s not like I have a choice, and that’s not the case for her! How could she hide the fact that she’s staying downstairs from me? Does she even care about me? Does she take our relationship for a game?

Over in another elevator, Christopher seemed uncomfortable about going to Winnie’s place. “I think I should go back. This is my first time seeing your granny, but I didn’t bring a gift with me.”

“It’s fine,” Winnie assured. “Granny doesn’t care about all this. She’s very hospitable. She would shout at me until everyone in this building heard her if she found out I didn’t bring you with me. I hope you don’t mind her character.”

“I don’t mind, of course. It’s nice having a lively and energetic person at home.”

“I guess. It does get lonely if the house is too quiet. Anyway, we’re here.”

Ding! The elevator stopped as soon as Winnie spoke.

Winnie wanted to lead the way after the door opened, but she suddenly stopped.

Behind her, Christopher, who was way taller than her, glanced over Winnie’s shoulder and saw Xavier outside the elevator.

From the looks of it, he must have sat in his wheelchair waiting for them for some time. The two froze in shock until the elevator door closed again when no one went out of the elevator after a long while.

Christopher raised his hand to stop the door despite being caught in a dilemma. He was undecided if he should step out or go back down.

As for Winnie, she was not expecting Xavier to be back at Aqua Moana. Thus, it never once crossed her mind that Xavier would appear on the thirty-first floor.

I guess there’s no use hiding. Granny shouted so loud from our house earlier, so he must’ve heard.

Spotting Xavier’s hostile glare at Christopher, Winnie turned to Christopher and said, “I’m sorry. This is not a good day to have guests over at the house. We’ll take a rain check.”

Christopher nodded. “Sure. Call me if you need anything.”
