The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 21

It was already very late at night, but Xavier still made the decision to leave the mansion.

Before he left, he decided to take one last look at Winnie.

Nonetheless, when he arrived at the door, he found that it had been locked from the inside.

Twisting the door knob, Xavier knitted his brows.

I guess I must have really frighten her this time.

Meanwhile, behind the locked door, Winnie was huddled in bed. It wasn't until she heard Xavier leaving that she heaved a sigh of relief.

Apart from the soreness of her body, the only emotion she was feeling right then was regret.

Why the h*ll did I think I could tame him? I should have let a doctor handle a drugged man! I'm just asking to be tortured by offering myself to a man in his prime that's a hundred and ninety centimeters tall! D*mn that man! I can't believe he's well-proportioned down there as well! He had only entered halfway, and I was already on the verge of dying!

Afraid that some traces of the drug were left in Xavier's system and that he would come to torture her again in the dead of night, Winnie decided to lock the door before she went to bed.

Unbeknownst to her, it would be a long time before she saw the man again.

Since that passionate night, Winnie hadn't seen Xavier for several days.

However, the latter would always send over some delectable sweets and toys that Winnie mentioned she liked before.

He would also give Mary a call to inquire whether Winnie had eaten the candy or if she liked the toys that he gave her.

Even so, not once had he asked those questions to Winnie directly.

Naturally, Winnie knew this was his way of apologizing for that night's incident.

Because he was rather rough with her at the time, her body had patches of bruises all over as a result.

Although she wasn't able to have a good night's sleep, she reckoned they were even after she left countless scratch marks on Xavier's back and arm. Not to mention she even bit his shoulder.

Besides, she clearly remembered a stitch mark on his arm that was left after the previous car accident. He had protected her at that time and had shed a lot of blood because of her.

Thinking of all this, Winnie decided to forgive him.

After all, he was quite the gentleman when he wasn't drugged. Apart from that, there is one thing that I was very satisfied with about how Xavier handled it. And that is the fate that had befallen Kylie.

Although no one told her what happened in Xavier's office that day, Winnie was able to put two and two together based on the video that she saw circulating on the internet.

As it turned out, Xavier wasn't the only person that was drugged that day. Kylie, too, suffered the same ordeal.

It was unknown whether she had drugged herself or if she was drugged by Xavier as his way of payback, but in the end, she was thrown into an intersection with a huge flow of people.

Under the influence of the drug, Kylie lost all sense of reason as lust overwhelmed her. She even pounced on a young and handsome passerby before flirting with him.

As a result, the young man's girlfriend tore at her clothes and gave her a harsh slap. The crowd took videos of the incident and uploaded them to the internet, where it became viral just moments later.

After the incident, Hamish and Yara tried to apologize to Xavier, but the man had no intention of meeting them. In the end, the couple could only look for Winnie for help by paying Lagune Mansion a visit.

Unexpectedly, Xavier had guessed their intention and had instructed Mary to bar anyone from the Garland family from entering the mansion.

Because of this, Winnie was able to make plans with Nathaniel with peace of mind.
