Silly Bride Chapter 88


    Chapter 88


    Winnie returned to Xavier’s ce on the thirty-second floor and promptly fell asleep.The following


    morning, she was woken up by nking sounds in the kitchen. It was past ten o’clock in the morning


    when she roused.Her guard went up immediately. It could be Molly, or Xavier could have traveled the


    entire night and arrived at his house this morning.However, she walked out of the bedroom to realize


    that it was her grandmother, Jacinta, bustling around the kitchen.Delight and surprise bubbled up within


    her. “Granny, when did you arrive? I didn’t hear a thing!” she blurted out in joy.Seeing her, Jacinta


    immediately turned down the fire on the stove and shot her edgy looks.Winnie looked in the direction


    Jacinta was hinting and realized Louis was here, too. The man was seated in a corner in the living


    room. That was why she did not spot him earlier.Oh, Granny is afraid that Louis will realize I’m putting


    up an act because I’m not pretending to be dumb.“It’s fine, Granny,” Winnie assured her. “Go back to


    the kitchen. I’ll talk to Mr. Tanser.”Jacinta gaped in disbelief. “He knows?”Winnie gave her a firm


    nod.“All right, go on then. Breakfast is almost ready. You can look forward to it.”“Sure,” Winnie replied


    obediently. She then headed to Louis’ spot in the living room.Sitting down across from Louis, she did


    not bother with her act. “Mr. Tanser, I believe Xavier told you I need your help to investigate a courier


    company under Fairchild Corporation, right?”Louis was astounded to learn that Winnie was actually


    acting and that her acting was pretty convincing.Forcing himself to stay calm, he replied, “Yes, Mrs.


    Fairchild. I’ve received his order.”“Good. I’ll send you the courierpany’s nameter. Stay for


    breakfast.”“No need. Thanks for the invitation, but I’ve already had breakfast beforeing here.”


    Louis was nervous to talk to a clean and tidy Winnie. It felt like the early days when he first started


    working for Xavier.Strangely, he realized Winnie could be as decisive and vicious as his


    employer.“Okay. What will we doter?” Winnie asked.“After you and Mdm. Sumner had breakfast, we


    shall head to the hospital. Zyon heads there every day, so he’ll be there today.”Winnie nodded and got


    up. “Got it. You’re familiar with this ce, so make yourself at home.”Louis was speechless. She


    carries herself as if she were the mistress of the house. Mr. Xavier and her are a match made in


    heaven.By the time Winnie washed herself up, Jacinta had already served breakfast on the dining


    table.They chatted for a while before Jacinta noticed Winnie ncing at her phone several times. Her


    fingers were tapping on the screen deftly as though she was upied with something.Elderly people


    loved nagging, so Jacinta chided, “What are you doing? Focus on your breakfast. You can y with


    your phone after breakfast.”“Oh, okay.” No matter how capable Winnie was outside, she was an


    obedient child at home.She was not actually ying with her phone.Instead, she wondered if she


    should text Xavier after their conversation ended on a sour notest night.After clicking into their chat,


    she kept typing and deleting her text hesitantly. What should I text him?Now that Jacinta had


    interrupted her, she exited the chat.Meanwhile, Xavier was waiting for Winnie’s text patiently.He had


    been in contact with Louis all the while. Louis sent him several texts: Mr. Xavier, Mrs. Fairchild is


    up.Louis: Mr. Xavier, Mrs. Fairchild told me about the courierpany.Louis: Mr. Xavier, Mrs. Fairchild


    is having breakfast with Mdm. Sumner.Louis: Mr. Xavier, Mrs. Fairchild is looking at her phone.Hence,


    Xavier took his phone and waited patiently. He saw Winnie typing in the chat for a long time.However,


    there was no text from her. In the end, she stopped typing and disappeared.Xavier grew increasingly


    anxious. Furious, he asked Louis: What is she doing now? Is she no longer looking at her phone?


    Louis: Mr. Xavier, Mdm. Sumner told Mrs. Fairchild to stop looking at her phone when she’s


    eating.Xavier fell silent. Well, that’s a valid reason. I can forgive her. She can’t send me a text, so I’ll do


    it.Even though Winnie lied to himst night, he could not bring himself to neglect her.Xavier: Are you


    up? Did you sleep wellst night?When the notification arrived, Winnie quickly clicked into the chat


    after noticing it was a text from Xavier.Reading the text, she noticed Xavier seemed to be ying nice.


    Thus, her mood improved considerably.Winnie: I’m up. I slept pretty well. I’m going to teach the b*stard


    a lesson at the hospitalter. What about you?Noticing the smile flitting across Winnie’s lips, Jacinta


    asked, “Who are you chatting with?”“Xavier,” Winnie replied honestly.Jacinta’s expression changed


    abruptly. She avoided Louis’ gaze and lowered her voice. “Winnie, didn’t you decide to get a divorce?


    Why are you chatting with him happily? I thought he used to despise you.”“Granny.” Winnie’s voice was


    low as she exined, “It’s actually a misunderstanding, and we’ve already resolved it. Things weren’t


    necessarily what they seemed.”“What are you talking about, Winnie?” Jacinta grew emotional. “You’ve


    spent thest few days with him, right? Did he cast a spell on you or something? Why are you siding


    with him? He must’ve said that after realizing you’re not a retard. You can’t trust someone who doesn’t


    speak his mind! He acts one way to your face and another behind your back!”“Granny.” Winnie was


    slightly stunned by her outburst. “What’s wrong? Why are you so emotional?”She had never seen her


    grandmother lose her temper this abruptly before.“I’m not emotional!” Despite saying that, Jacinta put


    on a stern expression. She then ced her fork down and pulled Winnie to a room.“Winnie, the


    Fairchild men are all scoundrels. You can’t fall for Xavier’s lies. Look at Yulissa. Isn’t that


    obvious?”Winnie tried to exin. “Yulissa, well… She’s aplicated person. Besides—”Jacinta


    interrupted crabbily, “Besides what? Have you seen Xavier’s mother? She didn’t show up during Old


    Mr. Fairchild’s birthday. Do you know why? It’s because Xavier’s father was a b*stard who harmed her,


    so she ended up getting a divorce from him. Old Mr. Fairchild was worse when he was young. He


    broke many women’s hearts without sparing their feelings. The Fairchild men are scoundrels. Winnie,


    you can’t fall for his trap!”“Granny…” Winnie found Jacinta’s reaction bizarre.Xavier’s parents got a


    divorce ages ago. Winnie had read about that in the report about the Fairchild family. However, there


    was barely any information about Rufus. Why does Granny know him that well? She didn’t hesitate to


    speak badly about him. This is strange.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
