Silly Bride Chapter 59


    Chapter 59


    “I’m sorry if this makes you ufortable, but someone has been secretly taking pictures of us!”


    Christopher replied.The next thing Winnie knew, he had ced his ck jacket over her head.“Hey!


    What are you…”She heard him running out of the restaurant before she could even finish her


    sentence.I know Christopher covered my face to help hide my identity, but that was totally


    unnecessary! Does he not realize that I already have a pair of shades and a face mask on? I doubt


    anyone would be able to recognize me even if they got a picture of me! I was going to leave, but he left


    his jacket and the blood sample here when he ran off to catch that person, so I now have to stay here


    until he returns…Feeling speechless at the thought of that, Winnie yanked the jacket off her head and


    sat down at the table.After waiting for about twenty minutes, Winnie was starting to grow impatient


    when Christopher came back.It became obvious that he ran all the way back as he was panting heavily


    and drenched in sweat. His shirt was sticking to his skin as he looked out of breath.Winnie had thought


    she would soon be hit by a foul body odor, but what followed was a surprisingly clean scent.She then


    grabbed an unopened bottle of water and handed it to him.Christopher took the bottle over from her,


    but all he did was hold it in his hand and re at her with a frown.Feeling ufortable from his gaze,


    Winnie red back at him and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that, Captain Bet? Have I


    done anything wrong?”“You…”“What? Just go ahead and say it!” Winnie eximed impatiently with her


    arms crossed.Christopher scratched his nose awkwardly and cleared his throat as he stepped in front


    of her, blocking the view of others around her.Winnie leaned back against her seat in response.She


    was about to say something when Christopher spoke up. “A huge chunk of your scalp has fallen


    off.”What? Winnie instinctively used her phone camera as a mirror, only to see that a part of her wig


    and silica gel had been scraped off.It was incredibly noticeable as it was hanging loosely from her


    forehead.Now I see why the waiters were all giving me strange looks! The zipper on Christopher’s


    jacket must’ve gotten caught onto my disguise when I yanked it off my head!“D*mn it!” Winnie cursed


    under her breath as she yanked the dangling piece of silica gel off. “I’m sorry for scaring you, Captain


    Bet.”“That was indeed a little disturbing.” Seeing as Winnie seemed to be just fine after yanking


    that skin off, Christopher sat down in front of her and continued, “You seem to be using someone else’s


    identity.”Winnie frowned. “Are you investigating me?”“Yes. I traced your phone number after you called


    the police. It belongs to a woman named Paulina Houghton, who has already taken the train out of here


    last night, but her phone is still with you.”“It sure is easy for the police to track someone down, huh?”


    Winnie asked, making no attempt to deny his statement whatsoever.“Yes, but cracking down on drug


    trafficking is still incredibly difficult. What you’re doing is very dangerous. Lucas told me to ensure your


    safety, but he didn’t provide me with any information on you. I don’t even know your name and what


    you look like.”“All right…” Since a part of her disguise had already been scraped off, Winnie figured it


    was pointless to maintain it.She then removed her disguise entirely in front of Christopher, revealing


    her true actual appearance to him atst. However, Christopher was still staring at her with a frown,


    even after seeing her face.What’s with that response? People usually look shocked when they see my


    face. This is the first time I’ve seen someone frown at me like he’s deep in thought. How should I even


    respond to that?Winnie narrowed her eyes and asked, “What is it this time, Captain Bet? My real


    skin isn’t falling off, is it?”“No. We recently received a report about a Mrs. Fairchild going missing. I


    nced at the case files. You look almost identical to the person in the photograph.”“Haha! Be a little


    more confident in yourself and remove the word ‘almost’ from your statement,” Winnie replied with a


    chuckle.Christopher didn’t seem very surprised as he asked, “So, you really are Winnie, the mentally


    challenged wife of Mr. Fairchild?”“Correct, but we’re no longer married. I hope you’ll help me keep this


    secret of mine, Captain Bet. By the way, does the Narcotics Enforcement Department get involved


    in missing people cases?”“No, but Mr. Fairchild has been putting a lot of pressure on the police force,


    so everyone at the station already knows about it. I went through the Fairchild family’s case files after


    receiving your call.”Winnie nodded. “I’m your informant now, so you’ll help me keep my secret, right?


    Lucas tells me I can trust you, so I hope you won’t let him down, Captain Bet.”“Don’t worry. Your


    secret is safe with me.”“All right. I hope you won’t interfere with what I do next, Captain Bet.”“Okay,


    but I hope you won’t do anything rash,” Christopher said after a brief pause.“I told you, I value my life.


    By the way, did you manage to catch the guy you were chasing?”“No. He managed to get away.”Winnie


    frowned. “I think he was after me, but it should be fine. He poses no threat to me.”It’s highly possible


    that Xavier got someone to tail me after getting suspicious of me. It doesn’t matter, though. Paulina is


    just a temporary identity anyway. I could just get rid of this disguise if he finds out.Christopher didn’t


    agree with her statement. “You should indeed be more careful, but it’s also possible that the person


    wasn’t after you. While the police keep an eye on criminals, the criminals are also doing the same to


    us.”Winnie shed him a smile. “Fair enough. It sure is dangerous being a police officer! You guys are


    standing at the border between light and darkness. Every time you guys take a step forward, those


    hiding in the darkness will be forced to take a step back. Keep up the good work, Captain


    Bet!”After putting her face mask and sunsses back on, she was about to leave when she added,


    “By the way, I haven’t paid for the bottle of water and the food on the table. Since I ced the order


    while waiting for you, I think you should pay for it.”“Let me walk you out the door.”“That won’t be


    necessary. I’m a very mysterious person, remember? I wouldn’t want to draw attention to myself now!”


    Winnie said half-jokingly before walking off.A smile slowly formed on Christopher’s lips as he watched


    her leave the fast-food restaurant.Five years ago, I was rescuing hostages alongside a very


    courageous girl. She said something simr too. “Keep up the hard work, officer! You drive the


    criminals back every time you take a step forward!” I can’t believe I’d run into her again five yearster.


    So, her name is Winnie Gand, huh?Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
