Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 298

“Ah, so you still saw it…” Feeling a little awkward, Lisanne rapidly changed the topic. “I almost forgot you also know him. It was Lucas who initially introduced you two to each other, right?”

“That’s right.” Winnie nodded. “There was something important I needed his help with back then.”

Lisanne was still unaware of Christopher’s passing, so when she spoke about him, she did it with a casual tone. “How did things turn out in the end? He’s pretty reliable, right?”

“Mhm.” Again, Winnie nodded. “He is. He helped me a lot.”

After she thought about what she had said carefully, she realized she had asked an extremely stupid question earlier.

Christopher was like a brother to Lucas, and it was said that they grew up together.

Considering Lisanne was Lucas’ twin sister, there was no way she didn’t know Christopher.

When Winnie’s train of thought arrived there, her heart grew heavy.

Sensing the changes on Winnie’s face, Lisanne couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. “What’s the matter? Why did your expression change when I mentioned him? Did something happen between you two? Or is it…”

Lisanne was aware of how special and dangerous Christopher’s job was.

Immediately, she pulled out her phone and opened her chat with Christopher.

She swiftly scrolled up the chat log before eventually stopping at the last reply he had sent to her.

Upon calculating the time in her mind, Lisanne uttered, “It’s been more than three months since he replied to me. I know he went on a mission, and it’s normal for him not to reply to me when he’s in the field. However, this has been his longest hiatus between replies. I’ve asked Lucas about Christopher’s whereabouts, but even he said he had no idea where Christopher went this time for his mission. Do you know something about it, Winnie?”

Gazing at Lisanne, Winnie was suddenly at a loss for words.

When Lisanne saw that, she became certain Winnie knew something about Christopher’s whereabouts.

Thus, she urged, “Tell me, Winnie. I’m worried about him. Truth be told, he’s the person I like, but I don’t think he likes me back. He hasn’t had a romantic partner even after so many years, and neither do I, so I thought a relationship between us might be possible. You saw how many messages I sent him earlier. I’m really worried about him. If you know something about him, please tell me, okay? Your silence only makes me worry even more.”

“Lisanne.” Winnie took in a deep breath. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just… I haven’t thought about how to break the news to you.”

“You don’t need to think about that!” At that moment, all Lisanne wished to learn was how Christopher was doing recently. “Just lay the truth on me.”
