Silly Bride Chapter 105
Chapter 105
“What do you mean? Where has she gone? Why did she leave?”Louis could feel Xavier’s anxiety and
impatience through the phone.He then told Xavier what happened at Rufus’ ward earlier.Sure enough,
Xavier did not take kindly to hearing about Benjamin pping Winnie and abusing her verbally.“Why
didn’t you tell me about my dad’s return sooner?” he questioned angrily.Dad was so dissatisfied with
Winnie that he gave me a stern warning a while back.“I’m sorry, Mr. Fairchild. This happened because I
didn’t do my job well enough. Hamish has taken Mrs. Fairchild with him, and Dr. Houghton is going
after them as we speak. Dr. Houghton tried to convince Mrs. Fairchild to stay, but she insisted on
returning to the Gand residence. I think…”“You think what? Stop beating around the bush! Get to the
point!” Xavier urged him impatiently.“I think Mrs. Fairchild might be angry.”Xavier was really worried
when he first heard about Hamish taking Winnie away.However, he soon calmed down upon recalling
that Winnie was not actually mentally challenged.That woman is smart and extremely capable. Hamish
wouldn’t be able to take her away if she didn’t want him to. Winnie must’ve returned to the Gand
residence of her own ord, so I have no reason to worry about her safety. I am, however, concerned
about her being mad at me. After all, Dad pped her because of me…“By the way, Mr.
Fairchild…”“What is it?” Xavier asked as he put the phone on speaker and began texting his driver on
WhatsApp.Louis lowered his voice as he continued, “Mr. Rufus has told Mr. Benjamin about you being
alive. Mr. Benjamin wants you to remain in your condominium tonight. He said he’ll pay you a visit
soon.”Xavier’s hands trembled slightly when he heard that. “Heh, what’s that supposed to mean?”I
believe Mr. Benjamin has made it very obvious that he doesn’t want Xavier to go see Winnie. There’s
no way someone as smart as Xavier wouldn’t be able to figure it out! Why would he ask me a question
he already knows the answer to? Does he intend on going against Mr. Benjamin’s orders?Xavier was
indeed nning on having his driver take him to the Gand residence.Unbeknownst to him, Benjamin
was right behind Louis, so he had heard everything Xavier said.D*mn it! I can’t believe my son is still
madly in love with that dumb*ss!As he was angered at having his authority as a father disregarded,
Benjamin’s expression was icy-cold. “Pass me the phone, Louis. I’ll talk to him myself.”Naturally, Xavier
heard that as well.“Hey, Dad. I’m sure Grandpa must’ve told you about me now that you’re back. Louis
said you wanted toe see me, but I don’t think that’s necessary. Seeing as you’ve just returned,
Uncle Stuart and the others would surely have someone tail you, so youing over would only
expose my location to them.” Benjamin’s tone was dripping with sarcasm as he said, “Really? I bet you
just want to go see that dumb*ss behind my back, huh? You won’t let me visit you because you don’t
want me exposing your location, but you’re willing to risk exposing yourself just so you could see that
dumb*ss? Xavier, have you lost your mind? Has she infected you with her stupidity? Is she more
important than Fairchild Corporation? She’s just a woman, Xavier! She can’t possiblypare to all of
Fairchild Corporation!”Xavier fell silent as he tried toe up with a response, but he could not think of
anything.At that very moment, memories of Winnie were all that filled his mind.The way she hugged me
and clung to me filled my heart with warmth and brought a smile to my face. Heck, I can’t even
remember thest time I smiled before marrying her. Her very existence in my life has changed
everything. In fact, I sometimes found myself smiling just by looking at her. I’ve seen her silly side as
well as her brave and decisive side. I’ll never forget the despair I felt when I fell into the ocean that
night. It was Winnie who swam to me, untied me, and breathed into me. I can almost feel her sweet
breath in my mouth just thinking about it… So, have I really lost my mind? Is Fairchild Corporation truly
more important than her? No, I’m not crazy! We can’t just decide which of them is more important like
this!“I’m not like you, Dad. You cing Fairchild Corporation above everyone else is the reason Mom
left us. Anyway, I know what I’m doing. You’ve just returned from overseas, so you should go home and
get some rest,” Xavier stated and hung up immediately after.At the same time, his driver had prepared
the car.About forty minutester, a ck Mercedes-Benz pulled up on the street outside the Gand
residence.Xavier kept calling Winnie inside the car, but she was not responding to his calls and texts at
all.I’m not sure if Winnie isn’t responding because something has happened to her, or if she’s just
ignoring me because she’s mad at me. All I know is that I want to see her and hear her voice right
now!When he saw Jacinta entering the Gand residence, he decided to call her instead.Jacinta hung
up the phone without saying a word when she heard Xavier’s voice on the other line.Annoyed by his
incessant calling, she switched her phone off after the third call.Xavier frowned in confusion and
displeasure as he did not understand why Jacinta hated him that much.Fine! If I can’t get through to
their mobile phones, I’ll call the Gand residence’sndline instead!This time, after waiting for a good
few minutes, he was finally able to talk to Winnie on the phone.However, as she needed to put up an
act in front of everyone, she hung up the phone after a brief exchange.Five minutester, he received a
call from Winnie. “Are you crazy? Why’d you call me so many times?” she scolded over the phone.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
