Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 336

Winnie turned around and lifted her head. Before she could make eye contact with the man behind her, she was pulled into an embrace.

At that moment, her head was gently leaning against a warm and familiar chest.

She wrapped her arms around the man’s waist tightly and exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you back so soon?”

“I completed my work sooner than expected, so I got back a day earlier,” Xavier answered, his tone filled with remorse.

After saying that, he couldn’t help but plant a light peck on Winnie’s hair before apologizing, “I’m sorry I got back late. Just leave everything to me.”

Winnie inhaled the familiar scent on Xavier’s body and finally felt a sense of relief after a few days of chaos.

“Okay.” She nodded as she relaxed and leaned against him entirely. “I need your help.”

“Sure,” he whispered. “I will always lend you a hand. You can leave it to me without worrying.”

The couple enjoyed a quiet moment in each other’s arms. After Winnie felt she had recharged her spirit, she finally got up and told Xavier, “Let’s talk outside.”

“Okay.” Xavier reached out and held her hand before falling silent.

Shortly after, they exited the ward together.

A dim light was switched on outside the ward. As soon as they walked there, Mason got to his feet swiftly and explained, “Ms. Garland, it was Mr. Fairchild who asked me to stay quiet just now.”

Winnie let out a soft hum in acknowledgment before telling Mason, “You may go back and rest now. Come back after you’ve got some sleep. We don’t need you for now.”

“All right!” Mason nodded and left the ward promptly.

After Mason left, Xavier held Winnie in his arms and sat down on the couch.

He cradled Winnie’s hands and said, “I already know the general situation after Josiah told me about it. Currently, the possibility of Granny confessing her crimes is low. So, I’ll make a police report as soon as the sun rises. It’ll take another hour. What do you think about this plan?”

“All right, we’ll do that, then.” She had already made up her mind. “It’s not a good idea to delay further. Is everything fine on Stuart’s end? We can’t afford to make any more mistakes on this matter.”

“Don’t worry. Stuart’s completely under our control. I won’t let him escape this time.”

“Okay.”

“There’s one more hour to go.” Seeing Winnie’s reddened and swollen eyes, Xavier frowned and felt his heart wrench. “Talk to me. Tell me everything that’s troubling you now. We will face them and solve them together.”

“All right…” Winnie didn’t even feel this much grievance when she was being called ungrateful and heartless by Jacinta.

After all, she knew she must stay strong and maintain her rationality during that time.

However, now that she was in front of Xavier, she could feel all the grievances she had suffered crashing down on her, turning her eyes red to the point that she wanted to cry.

Winnie leaned on his warm and strong shoulder as she vented her feelings.

This was the only time when she would babble everything on her mind without any reserves.

Despite her prattle, Xavier listened attentively with his gaze fixed on her face from the beginning till the end.

After Winnie was done ranting about her problems, he comforted her gently, “Silly girl, just leave this to me. From now onward, you don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.”
