Silly Bride Chapter 42


    Chapter 42


    Nheless, Yulissa was not about to give up. Although she was in a separate guest room, her


    thoughts were still on Xavier.After pulling out several gowns from her suitcase, she immediately headed


    for Xavier’s room.Whatever it is, he’s still a red-blooded male. There’s no way he won’t have any


    reaction if I get changed in front of him.However, she had just stepped out of her room when she saw


    Louis going into Xavier’s room.Louis had two boxes in his hands and was probably taking something to


    Xavier.After he went in, Yulissa tiptoed over and leaned against the door to eavesdrop on their


    conversation.“Mr. Xavier, I’ve prepared the gift for Old Mr. Fairchild. As for this other one, I’ve had it


    blessed and gotten Mrs. Fairchild’s name engraved on it.”“Got it. Just leave them there. By the way, did


    you drop anything in my car? A badge, for example?”“No. I’ve never worn them before.”“Okay. My


    phone has run out of juice. Help me make a call to Josiah.”“Sure.” Louis quickly dialed Josiah’s


    number. “He’s on the line.”Xavier’s voice rang out again as he asked Josiah, “Do you own a ck


    badge? I see. Then it must be someone else’s… I’m fine. You should get some rest.”Soon after the


    conversation ended, Yulissa heard Louis’ footsteps and quickly hid before he opened the door and


    came out.Then, she waited until Louis was gone before knocking on the door.“Xavier? It’s me, Yulissa.


    May Ie in?”However, no one responded from inside the room.Guessing he had gone to take a


    shower, she decided to open the door and sneak in.The boxes Louis brought were on the table in in


    sight, and Yulissa saw them at a nce.The gift for Old Mr. Fairchild is probably that emerald piece. It


    looks as though it has been around for some time and is probably a valuable antique.Meanwhile, inside


    the other box was a bracelet of wooden beads.Howughable is it that the words “Winnie” and “peace”


    are engraved on the beads? It’s so disgusting that I have no words. I know Old Mr. Fairchild is very


    conservative and superstitious, but Xavier has never been one to believe in superstitions. How could


    an atheist like him send someone to get this bracelet blessed and even have it engraved with that


    dumbass’ name? What about me? Since I got back until now, he hasn’t given me a single gift!Burning


    with jealousy toward Winnie, Yulissa grabbed the bracelet and flung it onto the floor. Still not satisfied


    after stomping on it, she even spat on it.After venting her frustration, she picked it up and returned it to


    its box.It was then that she noticed the ck badge Xavier had ced behind the box and picked it up.


    Her brows furrowed immediately after she got a clear look at its design.The sole reason for her reaction


    was the topic that had caused quite a stir at the basement bar the previous night.I was therest night


    because I was helping Zyon with something. Then, I heard people talking about a badge that was


    sighted there that night. Even the boss knew about it. It seems that the boss really wanted that badge,


    but s, he didn’t manage to get his hands on it. They described it as crafted from a unique material


    with a flower on one side and a scepter on the other. Although I didn’t see it, this badge clearly matches


    that description. But why does Xavier have it? Based on his conversation with Louis earlier, there’s no


    doubt that someone identally dropped this in Xavier’s car. As that thought crossed her mind, she


    immediately sent Josiah a text message: Were you with Xavier all ofst night? Was there no one else


    in the car? I seem to have spotted a long strand of hair.Josiah replied instantly: Don’t talk about that. I


    got out of the car for a while to throw up, and Xavier’s car ended up getting hijacked. Fortunately,


    nothing happened to him, and that person only used his car to make a getaway. As for that strand of


    hair, are you sure it’s not yours?Yulissa: What? He didn’t tell me anything about what


    happened!Josiah: He’s probably afraid you’ll worry. Since he didn’t tell you, it’d be better if you didn’t


    bring it up lest he me me for saying too much.Yulissa: Okay.After exchanging a few more messages


    with Josiah, she set aside her phone.Well, it appears Xavier really dide across this badge by


    chance. He’s not one to dabble in shady business. In fact, he probably doesn’t even know the


    significance of this badge. However, it maye in useful for me!Greed blossomed in her heart as she


    gazed at the mysterious and exquisite badge.Standing in front of the table and pondering for a


    moment, she suddenly struck upon an idea.She wanted the badge for herself. However, she could not


    let Xavier know she had seen it beforehand.Hence, she left quietly and waited until Xavier was done


    showering before knocking on his door and entering the room openly.When she walked into his room


    that time, Xavier had already put away the gifts and badge.“Xavier,” she said as she walked toward


    him.“What is it?”“Here’s the thing. You’re taking me to Old Mr. Fairchild’s birthday celebration tomorrow,


    aren’t you? I don’t know what to wear to make a good impression, so I want to get your opinion. Can


    you take a look at these gowns and jewelry to see which ones are more suitable?”Xavier cast a nce


    at the gowns she had brought. He was uninterested at first, but when he thought about how much effort


    she had put in and how she had been quite obedient, he offered her some advice.“He has quite a


    conservative taste, so not anything too revealing. How about that one?”Yulissa beamed as she hugged


    his arm. “I thought so too. Great minds think alike. A gown like that definitely needs to be paired with a


    brooch. Let me choose one.”With that, she opened her jewelry box.However, she quickly eximed,


    “Huh? Where’s my badge? Why is it missing? I haven’t worn it recently.”Seeing how anxious she was,


    Xavier asked, “What badge?”“My mother left it to me, and I wear it asionally. How can it be gone?


    My mother only left me with a few things. I broke her bracelet previously, and now this is gone,” she


    replied, her eyes reddening instantly.“Don’t panic. Tell me what it looks like.”Sounding as if she was on


    the verge of bursting into tears, Yulissa exined, “It’s ck with a rose on one side and a scepter on


    the other. It’s very important to me. Oh, how could I lose it? I’d better go back to my room first and look


    for it. Maybe it fell there.”She got up to leave, but Xavier called out to her, “Hold on.” He quickly took out


    the badge. “Take a closer look. Is it this one?”Yulissa was overjoyed. “It is! Why is it with you?”“I found


    it in the car.”“Oh, I remember now! I was wearing it thest time I was in your car. This is wonderful,


    Xavier! Thank you so much!” she eximed, rushing forward excitedly to hug him.That time, he did not


    push her away.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
