Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 393

While speaking, Winnie walked to the couch with Xavier and sat down.

Lucas subsequently took his seat opposite them.

The grim look on Xavier’s face told him that he had somehow imposed himself on them.

Nonetheless, as someone who never minced his words, Lucas spoke unabashedly.

“Winnie, how can you forget your friend just because you have a husband? Can’t I drop by for a casual visit anymore? Have you forgotten how we used to always chat late into the night? We even talked about our hopes and dreams while admiring the stars and moon in the night sky. I didn’t expect you to have forgotten me after being consumed by love. I’m so hurt!”

Winnie was rendered speechless. “Why are you being so melodramatic? Have you been reading too many trashy novels? Do you know why you’re so annoying?”

“Why?” Lucas was indeed clueless.

Winnie didn’t hold back her tongue. “It’s all because of that blabbermouth of yours. You had better stop trying to sow discord in front of my husband. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you if he beats you up.”

“Does our friendship not mean anything now that you’ve found love?” Nonetheless, Lucas was just teasing her and knew when not to cross the line.

Hence, he quickly brought up the real reason why he was there. “I just came from my sister’s. She told me that you’re done with your business here and will be going back soon. Since I figured that you haven’t had the opportunity to unwind recently, why don’t you spend more time in Rodunst? There’s no need to hurry home. Anyway, I rushed over because I was worried that you would leave overnight. I just wanted to volunteer my services as a tour guide since I know the place like the back of my hand. Also, I’ll be the most attentive guide you’ll ever have. I’ll be by your side when you need me and happily let you toss me aside when you don’t. So, what do you think?”

Xavier was at a loss for words, for he wanted to kick Lucas out at that very moment.

Little did he expect Winnie to agree. “Sure. Actually, my husband and I were just discussing what to do next. We did intend on spending a few days visiting the nearby island. Now that the King of Ships is coincidentally sitting right opposite me, you have to get us a yacht. That will save my husband the trouble of having to arrange for one.”

“Of course. Your wish is my command,” Lucas readily agreed before changing his tact. “However, can you stop mentioning your husband at every turn? Who are you trying to show off to?”

“You, obviously. You’re the one who’s still single. I have a husband, while you don’t.” Winnie flashed a mischievous smile as she hugged Xavier’s arm tightly and leaned against him.

She was getting back at Lucas for mentioning in front of Xavier how they chatted late into the night under the stars.

As for Xavier, the tension in his brows gradually eased after hearing Winnie mention him repeatedly. By the time Lucas and Winnie discussed the details of the trip, his initial hostility had already dissipated.

Lucas was also sensitive to the situation. Having no intention of getting in Winnie and Xavier’s way, he wrapped up the discussion quickly and left.

Upon his departure, the impatient Xavier pulled Winnie onto the couch.

Biting her lip gently, he nuzzled his head against hers. “What did you just call me just now? Hmm? Can you say it again?”

“You enjoy hearing it?” Cognizant that Xavier was talking about the word “husband,” Winnie refused to satisfy his request. “No.”

“Why not? In that case, don’t blame me for doing this.”
