Silly Bride Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Hamish gave Winnie a phone so it would be easier to reach her. Winnie used the device to watch
Peppa Pig as soon as she got home. After all, she was pretending to be a mentally handicapped
person who had the mind of a child. She had only watched a few episodes when Josiah came home.
“So. you have a phone now, huh? What are you watching?” asked Josiah from behind Winnie, startling
the young woman. “Mary said I can watch Peppa Pig for half an hour, and I still have a few minutes left.
I always listen to Mary because I’m a good girl,” exined Winnie after quickly hiding her phone behind
her, pretending to look guilty. “Maybe you should take a good look at me first. Do I look like Mary to
you?” teased Josiah with a chuckle. After looking up, Winnie widened her eyes before pouting at the
man. “It’s you! Bad Specky!” She no longer called Josiah “Specky” but “Bad Specky” instead. Even
though she had to act dumb, she was not about to forget what Josiah did to her. “I prefer ‘Specky,’ if
you don’t mind. Come on. Let’s go.” Josiah had to keep up the pretense since Mary was around. “You
should talk to Xavier more. Maybe that’ll help him regain consciousness.” Just when he was about to
take Winnie upstairs with him, Josiah suddenly thought of something. He then turned to Mary. “I heard
that Mr. Zyon’s back. Is that true?” Mary seemed surprised because that was not something she would
know. “Really? I’m sorry, but I’m not sure. Would you like something to drink before heading upstairs,
Dr. Houghton?” “No, thank you.” Josiah did not think Mary was one of Zyon’s spies. Xavier knew what
had happened the moment Hamish’s car pulled up. Yara was the one who took Winnie out a few hours
ago, yet she came home with someone else. For some reason, Xavier began to worry about Winnie.
Still, he could not do anything because he was supposed to be in aa. Even though Josiah took
Winnie to him not long after she came home, Xavier could not let the woman know that he cared about
her. Hence, Josiah and Winnie saw Xavier reading a book in bed when they entered the man’s room.
Josiah was somewhat puzzled by the sight because he did not take Xavier as much of a reader,
especially since the man was reading a book about religion. It had been a while since Winniest saw
a man look that good reading a book in casualwear. She had seen many good-looking men, but none
of them were like Xavier, who was not only charming andposed but also seasoned and
knowledgeable. Not to mention his figure was better than most international male models she had met.
Winnie believed Xavier would have crushed them if he were to be a model himself. Even though
Josiah was also attractive, Winnie did not think he had anything on Xavier. Hence, Winnie returned the
chocte Josiah gave her without hesitation before throwing herself at Xavier. She then started
sobbing. “Bad Specky gave me a disgusting snack. Not only does it taste bitter, but it also looks
disgusting. Look, Handsome!” With that, Winnie stuck out her tongue to show Xavier the chocte still
in her mouth. The truth was that Xavier had already lost focus on his book the second Winnie stepped
into the room. He got even more excited after Winnie threw herself into his arms, for they were
extremely close. Wait a second. She’s a dumbass with the mind of a child, so I can’t be feeling this way
for her. Xavier took a deep breath to rpose himself before voicing in all seriousness, “That’s just
how chocte is, Dumbo. Don’t eat it if you don’t like it.” Suddenly, Xavier noticed a scratch mark on
Winnie’s face. He did not notice it at first because he was too distracted by the woman’sint and
the sweet aromaing off of her. He could immediately tell that she was scratched by a woman’s
fingernails. She was fine before heading out, so what happened out there? For some reason, Xavier
began to boil with anger. He thought it was just because he had been cooped up in his room pretending
to be in aa for too long. “What happened to your face?” All of a sudden, Xavier’s tone became icy-
cold. “Who did this to you? Was it Yara?” Winnie wanted to tease the handsome man in front of her, but
he did not seem interested in ying along. “Who’s Yara? Is she edible? Does she taste worse than
chocte?” questioned Winnie casually, somewhat disappointed. “Dumbo…” Xavier was upset before
because of the scratch mark on her, but his anger quickly subsided after hearing her silly questions. His
tone even softened up a little. “Yara is your mother; she’s the one who took you out this morning. Tell
me. Did she hurt you?” Winnie shook her head in response. “No. Kiki did this.” “You mean Kylie?” “Yes.
Kiki’s an idiot!” “She’s definitely an idiot for scratching your face,” scoffed Xavier. “Josiah, treat her
woundter.” “You can’t be serious, Mr. Xavier. That’s not much of a wound. Besides, it’s already
healed,” responded Josiah, who immediately got a sharp look from Xavier. After that, Xavier asked
Winnie about what had happened at Gand Group that day. Even though Winnie yed coy, she
answered all of Xavier’s questions and told him everything she wanted him to know. Xavier thought he
would be angry at Hamish for coveting his family’s shares. To his surprise, what upset him more was
hearing about how Kylie bullied Winnie. So what if Winnie’s mentally challenged? She’s still my wife!
She’s my Dumbo! How dare those b*stards bully my wife! “It’s okay, Winnie; don’t cry. I’ll make that
woman regret that she everid a finger on you! You’re a Fairchild now, so I won’t sit by idly while you
get bullied,” promised Xavier. Winnie was still sobbing. “You’re the best, Handsome! You treat me even
better than Granny.” Josiah then nced at Xavier. “So, what do you n to do to the Gands?” “It’s
time for them to go bankrupt,” replied Xavier with a devilish smile. Winnie, who had buried her head in
the man’s chest while pretending to cry, could not help but notice how alike their way of thinking was.
However, she was determined to be the one to deal with her family. There’s no way I’m going to let
Xavier get to them first! That evening, Winnie continued to watch Peppa Pig on Xavier’s bed. The man
sighed helplessly after ncing at the cartoon pigs on the phone screen. “Give it here.” Xavier then
snatched the device from Winnie and quickly entered his number to set up a speed dial. “Remember, if
you ever need to reach me, just press and hold the number one. Now go to sleep. You’ll ruin your eyes
if you keep staring at that small screen.” Xavier was unhappy that Winnie only cared about watching
the cartoon instead of talking to him. Not long after Xavier turned off the lights, the two fell asleep.
Around one o’clock at midnight, someone in the Fairchilds’ mansion opened the front door to let a
person in. That mysterious person then sneaked upstairs and went straight to Xavier’s bedroom.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
