Silly Bride Chapter 118


    Chapter 118


    Yulissa opened a bottle of wine and walked back and forth around the house. What should I do now?


    Should Ie clean with Xavier and tell him to seek treatment at the hospital, or should I wait for the


    drug’s effect to subside?After gulping down a ss of whiskey, she curled her lips into a smirk. No.


    Those are not the options I desire. Since I can’t win Xavier’s heart, why should I care about him? I want


    to see him go downhill.Instead of reminding Xavier, Yulissa nned to give him another jab. I shall


    watch him be a maniac since he’s obsessed with the woman who dumped him. I’m sure one day


    he’ll destroy her.Anticipation was written all over Yulissa’s face when she envisioned the


    oue.Meanwhile, Winnie returned to the thirty-first floor after leaving Xavier’s ce.She was taken


    aback when she saw Christopher standing in front of the door the moment she stepped out of the


    elevator.Before Winnie could say anything, the man walked over and ced his coat over her


    shoulders. She could feel the warmth on his outer garment.Christopher instantly got an anxiety lump in


    his throat when he identally saw Winne’s upper chest area. After adjusting the coat on her, he


    swiftly pulled his hands away.“Xavier hit you again?” Christopher asked.“Not really.” Winnie gave a


    short answer as she did not want to talk about it. “What are you doing here? Are you leaving


    soon?”“No.” Christopher drew his brows together. “I came over because I’m worried Xavier might turn


    aggressive. I wanted to go up to take a look but realized the elevator uses fingerprint ess control. I


    had no choice but to wait outside.”“Yeah, the security system in this neighborhood is pretty solid.”


    Feeling a little annoyed, Winnie did not feel like entertaining Christopher.She removed the coat and


    hinted, “It’s gettingte now. I’ll have to return to the Gand residence with Granny soon. Here’s your


    coat.”Christopher was able to read between the lines. He looked at Winnie and wanted to say


    something, but words caught in his throat.Before this, Winnie had never regarded Christopher as


    someone who had feelings for her because he would only contact her to discuss work-rted matters.


    In fact, she was the one who had always initiated themunication.Yet, after listening to what Xavier


    said earlier, she could begin to sense something different in Christopher’s eyes even at this


    moment.“Here’s your coat.” Winnie once again urged the man to leave.Christopher wanted to talk to


    Winnie, but he knew it was not the right time.He did not want to stir up unnecessary trouble for her,


    especially when she was in a bad mood.He retrieved his coat and said, “I’ll leave now. You can call me


    if you need my help. You can always count on me.”Winnie opened her mouth, but before she could say


    anything, Jacinta opened the door.After ncing at Christopher and Winnie, Jacinta went up, held


    Winnie’s hand, and pulled her over. She did not notice the tear on Winnie’s clothes. “Winnie, you’re


    back. Come, let’s go in and drink some soup. I’ve also made dinner. Do you want to join


    us?”Christopher rejected the offer as he did not want to make Winnie ufortable. “Thank you for


    the invitation, Mdm. Sumner. But I’d just received a call and will have to get back to work now.” Jacinta


    could not help but grin when she heard that. “Since when did you answer a call? You left your phone on


    the coffee table, and I didn’t even hear you talking over the phone. You could havee up with a


    better excuse, you know.”Christopher blushed in embarrassment.When Jacinta said her phone was


    turned off automatically as it had run out of battery, he did take out his phone.When she poured him a


    ss of water, he immediately ced his phone on the coffee table to retrieve the ss of water with


    both hands.After a short chat with Jacinta, he hurriedly stepped out of the house and forgot to take his


    phone.Jacinta noticed how awkward Christopher was. She immediately stepped in and defused the


    tension. “I’m sure you didn’t lie on purpose. Winnie must have said something to you, right? Don’t mind


    her. Juste in and have dinner with me.”Jacinta’s remark rendered Winnie speechless. Why is


    Granny siding with an outsider?The three of them then went into the house.While Jacinta was busy


    setting up the table for Christopher, Winnie returned to her room.When she came out to the living area,


    Jacinta finally noticed she was wearing something different. “Why did you change clothes?”Winnie


    casually exined, “I identally tore my clothes just now.”Before Jacinta could reply, Winnie


    reminded, “We’ve got to hurry, Granny. We still need to return to the Gand residence.“All right, all


    right,” Jacintained, “We still have to eat dinner first, right? They don’t even allow me to use the


    kitchen there.”“Come, sit. I’ll bring the dishes.” Winnie said and was ready to go to the


    kitchen.Christopher raised his hand to stop her from leaving. “I’ll get the dishes. I’m nearer to the


    kitchen.”Before Winnie could say no, the man had gone to the kitchen, brought out the dishes, and


    ced them on the dining table.Christopher then extended his hand to Winnie. “Give me yourN?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    te.”Winnie hesitated for a moment. She passed her te to him as she did not want to embarrass


    him.Upon seeing that, Jacinta could not help but express her dismay, “Chris is our guest. How can you


    let him do the job? You should serve him a bowl of mushroom soup instead. Quick.”Winnie was at a


    loss for words. It seemed Jacinta had mistaken them as a couple. How can I give another man a


    chance when I’d just ended my rtionship with Xavier a while ago?Instead of serving Christopher the


    mushroom soup, Winnie said, “Captain Bet, do make yourself feel at home since I don’t know what


    you like to eat.”“Oh, yes. Make yourself feel at home.” Jacinta uttered before turning her attention to


    Winnie. “By the way, have you spoken to Mr. Xavier? From now on, you should stay away from


    him.”Winnie could not help but feel down in the dumps again when she recalled how Xavier bombarded


    her with a barrage of questions uncontrobly earlier.She hummed in response and changed the topic.


    “Granny, I think you’ve added too much salt to the beef.”Jacinta knew Winnie did not want to talk about


    Xavier. After all, we’re emotional creatures. We wouldn’t want to talk about things that upset us.She


    then turned her attention to Christopher. “Chris, how did you get to know Winnie? I don’t think you’re


    involved in her case, right?”Upon hearing Jacinta’s question, Christopher put down his cutleries.
