Silly Bride Chapter 41


    Chapter 41


    When Winnie heard Xavier ask her what she was doing, she shrank back immediately, looking


    terrified.“W-Winnie wasn’t ying in your car, Mr. Xavier. Winnie didn’t drop anything in your car,” she


    stammered, giving herself away with her denial.Mr. Xavier?Xavier thought he had misheard her, and an


    unfathomable emotion suddenly welled within his heart. “What did you just call me?”I can’t believe


    Dumbo is now addressing me as Mr. Xavier instead! That sounds like we don’t know each other well! I


    can’t ept that at all. Even calling me an idiot or stupid like she did before would be better than


    this!He could not help walking forward and asking, “Winnie, who taught you to call me that?”With every


    small step he took toward her, she took a big step backward.It was as though if she did not move away,


    she would get devoured by the person before her.Has she really be that scared of me now? Is it


    because of how I acted the other day? But I didn’t mean to scare her at all.“Winnie…”Just as he started


    speaking, the driver, who had not gone too far away, jogged over.He stepped forward and apologized


    at once. “I’m sorry, Mr. Xavier. Mrs. Fairchild came over with her toys earlier and said she wanted to


    y inside the car. That’s why I let her in. She’s afraid of strangers, so I stepped away. I haven’t


    caused you any trouble, have I?”Everyone at the mansion knows that Mr. Xavier brought his first love


    back with him. He even spoke harshly to Mrs. Fairchild the other day, saying he loathed that she was a


    dumbass and told her never to appear before his eyes again.Fearful that his soft-heartedness in


    allowing Winnie into the car would anger Xavier, the driver quickly apologized.As for Winnie, she


    looked as though she had seen her savior when she saw the driver.She hid behind the driver


    immediately. Then, mimicking his actions, she started apologizing as well.“Stop that!” It annoyed Xavier


    to see her distancing herself from him and being submissive like the others.She shouldn’t do that, nor


    does she need to behave like that. I can’t bear to see her view me as a danger and hide behind other


    men when I approach.Ignoring the driver’s presence, Xavier fixed his gaze directly on Winnie’s face.


    “Come here.”She looked down and shook her head vehemently.“No. Winnie doesn’t want to. You hate


    Winnie. You’ll scold Winnie and hit—”Before she could finish her sentence, he growled, “I won’t. Come


    over here right this instant.”Nheless, Winnie continued shaking her head.This scoundrel clearlyN?velDrama.Org content rights.


    doesn’t have any patience. I feel as though he’s going to storm over and drag me away any minute


    now.But right at that moment, Yulissa strode over.She went straight to Xavier and took his arm


    anxiously.“What’s the matter, Xavier? Why are you scaring Winnie like that? Didn’t you say you’re


    tired? Hurry up and go back to your room to rest for a while. I’ll give you a massage.”Xavier frowned. It


    seemed that those words did nothing to dissuade him, as he still looked as though he was about to


    explode with rage.Seeing that, Yulissa stood on tiptoes and whispered something in his ear.Her voice


    was so soft that it was only audible to both of them.“Xavier, you said you’d make an effort so we could


    go back to how we were before. If that’s the case,e with me now, okay?”Xavier lowered his gaze


    and nced at Yulissa. That’s right. I brought her to Lagune Mansion so that I could tear my heart


    away from Dumbo.“Okay. Let’s go.” However, just as the pair turned to leave, Winnie’s voice rang out.


    “Mr. Xavier?”Xavier halted his footsteps almost the very second he heard her call out to him.When


    Yulissa saw his reaction, her blood boiled, and her disgust toward Winnie intensified.“Winnie won’t get


    into your car again, Mr. Xavier. But one of Winnie’s toys is missing. If you find Winnie’s toyter, are


    you going to throw it away as if it’s garbage?”She had been pretty sure that Xavier was the one who


    found her badge. And with his IQ, he would probably be able to figure out who left it behind.Moreover,


    from its material to its craftsmanship, the badge was priceless. Even if an average person picked it up


    from the pavement, they probably would not discard it just like that.However, after seeing how close he


    and Yulissa were, she couldn’t help doubting his judgment. If he could be in a rtionship with her,


    then he might really toss it away, thinking it was trash.Hence, she finally decided to ask him that


    question to be on the safe side.“I won’t.”“Really? But Winnie’s toy is old and broken. Would you think it


    was garbage if Winnie identally left it inside your car?”“I said I wouldn’t. Not just anyone is allowed


    into my car. Even if it were garbage, I wouldn’t throw it away just like that.”Winnie turned to the driver


    and asked, “How about you? Are you going to throw it away if you find it?”“Of course not. As Mr. Xavier


    said, not just anyone is allowed into his car. I’d ask first even if it was trash.”“That’s enough, Winnie. If


    you can’t find it today, the driver will definitely find it when he washes the car the next time and return it


    to you then,” Yulissa piped up. She did not want Xavier to stay anywhere near Winnie for even a


    second longer.This dumbass looks like such a damsel in distress that without any self-control, any


    average man wouldn’t be able to resist it. I mean, look at that useless driver. He’s already feeling sorry


    for her.“Actually, I think it’s better this way, Xavier. She’s afraid of you now and doesn’t dare to get close


    to you. She won’t be able to cause you any more trouble. I also heard from Josiah that this could be a


    side effect of youra that has caused certain psychological repercussions,” said


    Yulissa.“Maybe…”Xavier frowned, unable to refrain from thinking of the past.Before this, she used to


    greet me cheerfully whenever I returned home. She’d embrace me, holding me tight, then insist that we


    sleep together at night. I loved it when she’d call me “Handsome.” Whenever she went to the


    washroom or shower, she’d also ask for hugs. She always wanted me to feed her. Of course, she did


    the same for me too. Even if it were a small tangerine, she’d peel it carefully, getting all the pith off


    before feeding it to me. She looked at things with unclouded eyes, and her thoughts were pure and


    innocent. When she woke up in my arms in the mornings, she always looked like a kitten. She’d even


    give me little licks and kisses. All of that…Here, Xavier dared not think of those memories anymore.He


    stopped walking abruptly. “You should go and stay in the other guest room.”“Xavier!” Yulissa


    protested.“I’m tired.”With that, he opened the door of the guest room he was staying in and went inside,


    having no intention of letting her into the room at all.Yulissa clenched her jaw in anger.I was the one


    who took his change of clothes and toiletries from this room previously. I also moved into his


    condominium in Aqua Moana. But from the day I moved in, he has been away on a business trip and


    only returned yesterday. He hasn’t touched me at all!
