Silly Bride Chapter 166


    Chapter 166


    It took Nate a while to get used to the powerful light before he opened his eyes.Seeing that Winnie had


    kept the pocket knife away, he narrowed his eyes at the car and snorted.“Looks like the coward, Xavier,


    is here. Great timing. You two can work together to harm me just like how you killed Yulissa!” he


    mocked.Winnie frowned and fought back the urge to whip the pocket knife out again. “You’d better


    mind your words.”“Ha!” Nate sneered. “What if I refuse to do as told? Are you going to teach me a


    lesson? I have to admit that you and Xavier are a match made in heaven. You say the same disgusting


    words!”Winnie snorted in response. “Is this already disgusting for you? I suggest you take a thorough


    stomach checkup at the hospital. You might be ill and need to receive treatment as soon as


    possible.”“Shut up! Stop acting all arrogant in front of me!” Nate had lost his knife, so he closed in on


    Winnie without hesitation.Winnie didn’t even blink. “I want to talk to you calmly, but it seems that you’re


    not intending on doing so.”Nate clenched his jaw furiously. “I only have one wish—to make you pay for


    what you did! I want you both to kneel before Yulissa’s grave and repent your sins! Don’t you worry.


    Before Xavier arrives, I won’t do anything to you. I want him to watch as his beloved woman gets


    tortured.”“Are you sure you have what it takes?” Winnie’s patience was wearing thin.She reached out


    and pressed the pocket knife to Nate’s neck.“You can’t even handle me. Are you sure you want to wait


    until Xavier arrives? Actually, I prefer solving problems reasonably instead of resorting to violence.


    However, it seems that you won’t understand that I’m being nice unless I give you a beating. Compared


    to what you did to me, I’m being really nice to you right now.”Before Winnie could finish, the car drove


    over to them and started honking at them urgently.Winnie’s hand froze when she heard the honks.She


    kept the pocket knife as something seemed off. This shouldn’t be Xavier’s car. He would never honk at


    me.Both Nate and Winnie nced at the ck Bentley.They saw the men in the front seats at the


    same time.Winnie knitted her brows as she didn’t know who the men were.Nate also frowned.Both men


    d in ck suits opened the doors and got out of the Bentley.The slightly older man then came


    toward Nate.Before he spoke, he gave Nate a polite nod.“Mr. Nate, Mrs. Fraser told us to give you a


    ride home,” he said respectfully.Hearing that, Winnie nced at Nate.No wonder the man honked so


    loudly earlier. Turns out he works for the Fraser family. He was afraid I’d hurt their Mr. Nate.Nate’s lips


    curved when he noticed Winnie looking at him.He dered arrogantly, “I’m sorry for disappointing you,


    Winnie. Instead of Xavier, my men havee here.”The Fraser family’s butler had seen Winnie


    holding Nate at knifepoint earlier, so he immediately stood in front of Nate in a protective manner.In a


    low voice, he asked, “Mr. Nate, do you need me to call the police?”“No need. We need to wait here for


    someone else. You can keep watch outside,” Nate ordered.The butler protested, “But Mr. Nate, Mrs.


    Fraser says you have to head home now.”“Are you deaf?” Nate snarled furiously. “I said, I need to wait


    for someone here! Tell Mom that I’ll go home on my own when I’m free.”The butler refused to give in.


    “Mr. Nate, please don’t make things difficult for us. If you insist on waiting for Mr. Xavier here, we’ll have


    to bring you back by force.”Nate narrowed his eyes in displeasure and questioned, “How do you know


    I’m waiting for Xavier? Who told you about it?”“It was me who told the butler. What’s wrong with that?”


    Before the butler could reply, a petite woman hopped out of the backseat of the Bentley.At the sight of


    thedy, Nate frowned and shifted ufortably. “Why are you here?”“Why can’t I be here? You’re


    busy filming and often don’te home for three to four months. Since you refuse to go home, can’t I


    come to visit you instead?” the woman snapped.The petite woman was baby-faced but didn’t look that


    young. Winnie assumed she was in her thirties.The woman stopped beside Nate and nced at


    Winnie. shing a beatific smile, she asked, “You must be Winnie Gand, right? Ms. Gand, I’ve


    heard about you. You look prettier and more elegant in person.”Winnie had no idea who she was, but it


    wasn’t nice to be rude to a polite person.With a slight nod, Winnie replied, “Yes, I’m Winnie Gand.


    You must be Nate’s elder sister.”She had made the assumption as they resembled each other.Hearing


    her words, the petitedy burst into giggles.Winnie frowned and added quickly, “It looks like I’ve


    assumed wrongly. I’m sorry.”“No.” Thedy beamed in delight. “Do I look that young? Do I look like his


    elder sister?”Winnie shot her a brief nod and revealed, “You seem to be in your thirties, and you two


    resemble each other. That was how I came up with the assumption.”Thedy chuckled and replied,


    “Ms. Gand, everyonevishes praises on you online, but you got things wrong today. I’m actually


    Nate’s mother. He doesn’t have an elder sister. He only has one elder brother.”Winnie was at a loss for


    words.“I’m also Xavier’s aunt. You are married to Xavier, so you should call me Aunt Beatrice, too. I’mN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    almost fifty years old,” thedy added.Winnie was rendered speechless. So thisdy is Beatrice


    Fairchild?Back when she read about the Fairchild family, there was a photo of Beatrice Fairchild at a


    young age. Thus, she didn’t manage to recognize Beatrice at first nce earlier.Beatrice looked around


    thirty-five or six with her current skin condition and figure. Winnie had to admit that she made a wrong


    judgment today.“Mom, she’s a scheming woman. Don’t be fooled by her ttering words!” Nate blurted


    out.He grew rmed when he realized his mother was chatting with Winnie happily.“Even if she’s


    ttering me, she’s better than you, who don’t evene home twice in a year!” Beatrice glowered at


    Nate.She then shot Winnie a smile. “Did youe here alone? Where is Xavier? Why isn’t he with


    you?”Winnie was about to speak when Nate strode over to Beatrice.“Mom, why do you know


    everything? Did Xavier tattle on me?” “If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it. Look at what you


    did to Winnie. It has affected her reputation. How are you going to solve it? Five years ago, you got into


    a fight with Xavier for that woman. Are you going to repeat your actions?”“Mom! Am I even your son?


    Why are you siding with him?”“I side with anyone but Yulissa White. She isn’t a nice person. I won’t let


    you hold a grudge against Xavier because of her. If you don’t want to go home with me tonight, I shall


    keep youpany until Xavier arrives. You can talk to him and clear things up,” Beatrice told him


    sternly.“Ha! What else can they say?” Nate flung Beatrice’s hand away. “They will definitely push the


    me onto Yulissa!”“Shut up! Yulissa must’ve cast a spell on you or something. She’s dead but still has


    control over your mind, huh? Are you stupid?” Beatrice shot him a disappointed re and stomped her


    feet. “It’s freezing out here. Open the door and let me in!”Nate didn’t want his mother to freeze outside,


    so he opened the door to the mansion.Xavier was still on the way, so Winnie wasn’t about to leave just


    yet.As Nate was stubborn, she didn’t want to talk to him anymore and decided to let his mother try to


    change his mind for the time being.With that thought in mind, she spun around and returned to her own


    car.Seeing that, Beatrice grabbed her arm before she could leave.“Winnie. Is it all right for me to call


    you that? Xavier isn’t here yet. Are you not going to wait for him? Come, let’s go in and have some


    piping hot tea,” she invited warmly.Prior to this, Winnie had never interacted with Beatrice.She didn’t


    know what Beatrice was like, or whether Beatrice was pretending to be friendly to her.“No need.


    Thanks for the invitation, but I’ll wait in my car,” Winnie rejected her invitation coolly but


    politely.However, Beatrice didn’t release her grip and insisted, “It’s stuffy in the car. We can talk


    inside.”Winnie’s brows snapped together. “I don’t think we have anything to—”Before she could finish


    her sentence, the sound of car brakes screeching pierced the night sky.Someone opened the car door


    and mmed it shut forcefully.Then, a tall man emerged and pulled Winnie away from Beatrice. “Let


    her go!”“Xavier!”They spoke at the same time. Xavier wore an icy expression, while Beatrice was


    grinning.“Aunt Beatrice? Why are you here?” It was dark, so Xavier didn’t notice that it was his aunt


    who was holding Winnie’s arm.“I came here for Nate and decided to stay to wait for you. I didn’t know


    I’d run into your wife here. Winnie’s pretty and capable,” Beatrice gushed.Xavier swept his gaze over


    bothdies and furrowed his brows. “Why do you both know I’m going toe here?”Beatrice


    exined, “I came here to teach Nate a lesson. I didn’t know you’d being. Your grandpa told me


    you’d be here. He wanted toe personally, but he’s too old. I don’t want him to tire himself


    out.”Xavier’s frown deepened. “How did Grandpa find out?”“Well…” Beatrice knitted her brows slightly.


    “I was in a hurry to get here and forgot to ask him why.”“Mr. Tanser was the one who told Grandpa


    Rufus. He wanted to call me, but my phone was switched off. So, he ended up calling Grandpa Rufus


    instead,” Winnie revealed, dispelling Xavier’s doubts.Seeing that Xavier’s eyes were still red, she took


    his hands. “Are you all right? How are you feeling?”On the way here, Xavier was twitchy and impatient.


    It felt like his body was about to burst into mes any minute.Strangely, his body temperature


    decreased the moment he saw Winnie.“I’m fine,” he assured her.As Winnie was only wearing a thin


    shirt outside her pajamas, Xavier flung his arm around her shoulder immediately.“Is it cold? Come, let’s


    go home,” he urged.“Huh?” Beatrice was confused.Even Nate, who was halfway into the mansion,


    widened his eyes incredulously and whipped his head around to stare at Xavier.Beatrice thought about


    the situation and considered her words. “Uh, since we’re all here, don’t you want to clear things up? Did


    you forget about Yulissa?” she asked carefully.Xavier would’ve forgotten about that if she hadn’t


    reminded him.“Oh, yes. About that.” Xavier frowned and lowered his head to ask, “Winnie, do you want


    to stay here? Or do you want me to bring you home?”“We need to resolve the misunderstanding, so


    let’s do it today.” Winnie didn’t want to waste time traveling to Nate’s mansion another time.“Sure.”


    Xavier patted her cheek adoringly. “Whatever you say.”The mansion’s living room was aplete


    mess.A destroyedptop was tossed in the corner, and there was a gaping hole on the television’s


    screen. Everything on the coffee table had been flung to the ground.Seeing the mess, Beatrice


    scrunched her brows and demanded, “Nate, why did you create a mess in your house?”“It’s nothing. I’ll


    ask someone to clear it awayter,” Nate responded curtly.He didn’t borate, but Winnie knew he


    must’ve vented his anger by throwing the stuff around when he saw her humiliate him through the live


    broadcast earlier.“What a mess. I’ll ask the butler to clear them away.” Beatrice couldn’t stand the sight


    and summoned the butler, who was standing guard outside, to enter the mansion.For some reason,


    Nate felt strange.I provoked Xavier so he woulde here. I wanted to teach him a lesson for being a


    heartless scoundrel. However, it was Winnie who showed up first. Next, Mom showed up. Everyone


    has now gathered to watch the butler clean up the mess I created earlier. This is ridiculous. What the


    f*ck is going on?“Enough.” Nate hastily stopped the butler, who was about to dismantle the huge


    television from the wall to bring it out of the mansion. “Leave it there. Don’t touch it,” he added.“Forget


    it, then.” Beatrice dismissed the butler with a wave. “Just clean the mess near the couch.”“Mom, what


    are you doing? I’ll ask someone to clean up tomorrow morning. You don’t have to do this,” Nate


    grumbled unhappily.“That won’t do. I’m going to hold a family meeting now. We can’t let your granddad


    see your living room in a mess.”Having said that, Beatrice took the tablet the butler offered her and


    gave Rufus a video call.Nate gaped in disbelief.Meanwhile, Winnie was left speechless. Wow, she’s


    amazing.Xavier was his usual quiet and indifferent self. When can we go? I want to hug Dumbo in our


    soft bed.
