Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 235

Winnie was dumbfounded.

Why is she so stubborn? She’d rather die than leave this place.

Winnie massaged her forehead. She could not bring herself to get mad at a grandmother like that.

After studying Jacinta for some time, she nodded in resignation. “All right, then. Looks like I can’t change your mind today. Rest early. I’m going to get some sleep too. I’m going to pay Rach a visit tomorrow morning.”

Jacinta finally smiled when she heard Winnie’s words. “Now that’s more like it. I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if you insisted I go back tomorrow.”

Winnie flashed Jacinta a smile as well. “Lie down now. I’ll turn off the lights.”

Jacinta hummed in response and lay back down.

Winnie watched Jacinta pull the blankets over her before reaching out to press the light switch beside the bed.

After that, she pulled out her phone and swiftly sent a message. Upon receiving a satisfactory reply, she closed her eyes.

The next morning, Winnie was not in the room by the time Jacinta woke up. She even went looking in the washroom, but Winnie was nowhere to be found.

Just as Jacinta was panicking, Winnie suddenly opened the door and entered the room.

Jacinta heaved a sigh of relief and hurried toward Winnie. “Winnie, my darling, where did you go so early in the morning? I thought something happened to you. What am I going to do if you get into trouble here? I don’t even know where I should go to find you.”

Winnie handed Jacinta the plastic bag in her hand with a chuckle. “Well, I’m right in front of you, aren’t I? I just went out to get some breakfast. No matter what, we still need to have breakfast, no?”

Still frowning, Jacinta scolded, “You gave me a scare. You should’ve asked me to go with you. Do you have any idea how worried I was?”

Winnie quickly admitted her mistake. “There, there. Quit worrying already. It’s my bad. I promise I won’t make such a mistake again. I’ll give you a heads-up before going anywhere in the future. How about that? I only went out to buy some things anyway. I know you’re worried about me. And if that’s the case, have you ever thought about it from another point of view? Surely you can understand my worry about you too. So—”

Knowing what Winnie was trying to get at, Jacinta interrupted, “All right, that’s enough. Didn’t we already agree on it last night? Why are you going back on your words after a night’s rest? Anyway, I’ve already decided. I won’t change my mind no matter what you say. I’m going to wash up now. Just leave the breakfast there. I’ll be out in a while.”

Winnie said nothing as she watched her stubborn grandmother leave. She then walked over to the table and put down the breakfast.

It was a simple breakfast with two buns and a cup of soy milk for each person.

Winnie purposely waited for Jacinta to come out of the bathroom to enjoy their breakfast together.

At the table, Jacinta spoke before Winnie even had the chance to open her mouth. “Don’t speak while eating.”

Winnie sighed. “Fine. I won’t bring up that topic, then. What do you think? Is the bun okay?”

“It’s so-so.” Seeing that Winnie was not going to bring up the matter of sending her back, Jacinta added, “The filling is too little, and the crust is too dry and hard. It’s as if it’s been left exposed to the air for one night. I can tell it hasn’t been proofed well just by the looks of it. It’s so hard to swallow.”

“Then maybe you should have it with the soy milk. I’ve tried it already. It’s not bad,” said Winnie.

“Okay. Let me try,” Jacinta responded while bringing the cup of soy milk to her lips.

Eyeing the cup of soy milk in Jacinta’s hand, Winnie asked with a smile, “How is it? It’s good, right?”

Jacinta nodded. “Yes, it is. It’s from a different stall, isn’t it? Their buns shouldn’t taste so bad if they can make such yummy soy milk.”

Perhaps the bun was so dry that Jacinta took a few more gulps of the soy milk, finishing almost half of it.

Seeing that, Winnie decided to skip eating the bun.

When Jacinta saw Winnie putting down her food, she could not help but ask, “Why aren’t you eating? Is there something wrong?”

Winnie only nodded in silence.

“What’s wrong?” Jacinta asked Winnie. Suddenly, she felt a little dizzy.

Even her vision was getting blurry.

However, she did not realize what was going on. She raised her hand and knocked her own head. “What’s wrong with me? Why am I getting a headache all of a sudden?”

Winnie finally hummed a response. She got up, rushed over to Jacinta’s side, and held the unconscious woman.

Indeed, Jacinta had passed out.

Since she would not cooperate with Winnie to go back, Winnie had no choice but to spike her soy milk.

Winnie got the drugs locally, so she only used a little because she was worried that the effects could be too strong, which would bring harm to Jacinta’s body.

In other words, Winnie had very little time to carry out her plan. She had to send Jacinta off right away.

After helping Jacinta up, Winnie kicked the wall twice as hard as she could.

Xavier soon came over from the next room after hearing the signal. As soon as he opened the door, another man immediately walked in with a wheelchair.

He was someone Winnie had seen before—Xavier’s bodyguard in Avenport. He was someone who could be trusted.

Handing Jacinta over to him, Winnie said sternly, “I’m handing my granny to you because I can’t leave at the moment. You must take her back safely and keep us posted. Inform us first thing once you’ve landed.”

The bodyguard promised, “Don’t worry, Mr. Fairchild, Ms. Garland. I’ll definitely bring her back safely.”

After he took Jacinta away, Winnie felt so much more relieved.

Winnie and Xavier went to the hospital first to check on Rachel before getting in touch with Josiah.

Things were not going well at Josiah’s side.

He had been following Yulissa according to the information Xavier provided, but she was still nowhere to be found.

Winnie grew anxious, but Xavier seemed calmer than her despite the fact that he was the victim.
