Silly Bride Chapter 86
Chapter 86
As Rufus seemed distraught, Winnie immediately consoled him, “Grandpa Rufus, don’t be sad.
Handsome told me he won’t let anyone bully me. He’s amazing! He won’t let anyone bully you,
too.”“Good. Good girl.” Rufus sat up with Josiah and Louis’ help.He asked, “Why did Xavier tell you to
come back first?”Winnie blinked helplessly. “Handsome said I can be useful back here, but he cannot
come back for now.”Hearing that, Rufus could not hold back hisughter. I forgot she’s mentally
slow.He then turned to Josiah and Louis. “You knew that Xavier’s still alive but kept it a secret from
me.”“Old Mr. Fairchild.” Josiah pushed his spectacles up sheepishly. “You can’t me us for keeping it
a secret from you. You know how careful Xavier is. We didn’t want to ruin his n and had to keep it a
secret.”“Mm.” Rufus nodded. “Xavier’s calm and mature. I trust him.”Josiah was speechless. Calm and
mature? Did you forget how he went nuts when he was trying to find his wife?“Louis, let me know how I
should help Xavier.”Louis immediately told him about Xavier’s n. Bobbing his head, Rufus said, “Got
it. Let’s do that. But you have to make sure to keep Winnie safe.”“Grandpa Rufus, you have to be
careful, too.” Before leaving, Winnie waved goodbye to him.“I will. Winnie, you’re a kind and respectful
youngdy. Your granny has been worried about you, so she’ll be delighted to see you back. I’ll ask
someone to give her a ride to your house so you can reunite with her.”It was prettyte, so Winnie was
brought to Xavier’s condominium, Aqua Moana, which was right smack in the city.She had just taken a
shower and climbed into bed when Christopher’s text arrived.As it was too long, Winnie did not bother
reading it. While drying her hair, she sent him a voice message: “Captain Bet, it’s prettyte. Why
are you still up?”Christopher was surprised to receive her voice message. “I was afraid I’d disturb you,
so Ipiled everything into one text. I’ve just gotten off work. You don’t sound like you’re asleep,
either. Why are you still up thiste?”Winnie replied: “I just came back to Avenport. Let me read your
text.”After reading his text, Winnie thought about it and send him a text: Where are you? Are you free to
talk?Christopher replied instantly: Wait, I’m reaching home soon. I’ll call youter.Winnie sent him an
“okay” emoji.Five minutester, Christopher’s call arrived.He went straight to the topic. “What is this
about? Is anything the matter?”Winnie admired how straightforward and direct Christopher was.“I readText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
the text you sent me. You’ve targeted the drug traffickers’ den but couldn’t find their contact. They didn’t
have a fixed time and location every time they deal with each other, right?” “Yes, that’s right.”
Christopher did not hold back in praising her. “You’re brilliant. I didn’t tell you anything yet, but you
managed to guess everything urately. They have been secretive about their deals and how they
decide the locations. The customs suspected several export orders under Fairchild Corporation
involved smuggling two years ago. However, our department never suspected Fairchild Corporation at
all. We found a breakthrough when you tipped us off and discovered something off about Yulissa. We
then continued the investigation and found some clues in Fairchild Corporation.Winnie nodded
solemnly. “It looks like Yulissa is a key person. I can’t harm her for now. I initially wanted to teach her a
lesson, but it looks like I have to let her off the hook for now.”Christopher’s voice grew stern. “Even if
you hold a grudge against her, you cannot break thew. You have to solve it legally.”“I haven’t even
done anything. Are you already trying to teach me what to do, officer?”“No.” Christopher sounded
embarrassed. “You’re Lucas’ best friend, so you’re also my friend. I promised him that I’ll protect you. I
don’t want to see yound in danger.”He hid his concern in his words.As he did not rify, Winnie had
no idea about his concern. After all, she did not remember crossing paths with him previously.“Sure, I’ll
be careful and protect myself instead of troubling you, Captain Bet. I’ll find a chance to head to
Fairchild Corporation and investigate the courierpany you mentioned in the text.”“Okay, thanks. Be
careful. I’ll treat you to a meal one day to express my gratitude.”“No problem. Looking forward to the
day when the evil guys get arrested.”After hanging up, Winnie was about to find her hair dryer when
her phone rang again.ncing at the screen, she realized it was Xavier’s call.“Hello.” Winnie answered
his call and put him on loudspeaker. As she dried her hair, she asked, “It’s prettyte. Why are you still
up, Mr. Fairchild?”Xavier’s gruff voice rang out. “I wanted to make sure you arrived home
safely.”Hearing that, Winnie chuckled lightly. “How sensible of you. It’s a pass.”“Just a pass?” Xavier
lowered his voice. “Didn’t you see how many missed calls I made?”“Huh? You called me?” Winnie
returned to the homepage and saw a few dozen missed calls.“I was talking on the phone, and there
wasn’t any notification. You should’ve sent me a text. I can see the text even if I’m talking to someone
else.”“I got anxious and didn’t think about that.” Xavier paused before asking, “Who were you talking to
thiste?”“Why? Are you checking on me?” Winnie was tickled. “Should I send you my location or
record a video or something to prove I’m in your house right now?”“Sure. I’ll video call you.”Before
Winnie could react, Xavier ended the voice call and video-called her.Once the call connected, Winnie
started teasing him, “What, are you insecure, Mr. Fairchild? You used to leave me alone in the mansion
and disappeared for several days in a row. I don’t remember you trying to video call me back
then.”Xavier knew Winnie was mocking him, but her smile managed to heal his insecurity and
anxiety.He could not wait to get home and lie in the bed behind her.“Winnie, I miss you,” he dered
passionately.
