Silly Bride Chapter 202
Chapter 202
As Winnie walked forward, the shadow followed her.When she stopped to look at her phone, the
shadow dodged to the side and hid in a dark corner, watching her every move.The wind was loud, so
Winnie was oblivious to the person’s presence.She continued to walk while sending a voice message
to Xavier.“I’ve already talked to Granny, and I’ll be there soon. Are you done taking a bath?”In no time,
Xavier replied with another voice message.Just as Winnie put the phone to her ear to listen to the
message, a dark figure leaped in front of her and shouted, “Hey!”The yell sounded especially jarring in
the dark yard. Though Winnie managed to suppress her scream, she jolted and almost threw her
phone away.While she stood in ce and took deep breaths to get ahold of herself, the figure walked
out from the dark spot and showed himself before her.Under the light, Nate’s handsome face looked
pale. “You’re much calmer than I thought, Winnie! I’m surprised this didn’t scare you.”Winnie inhaled
deeply. After seeing that it was Nate, she calmed down.Although her heart rate returned to normal, she
felt extremely pissed off.She frowned and narrowed her eyes, questioning, “Nate, do you know what
you’ve just done?”Nate leaned against a pir in the courtyard and crossed his arms. “Of course I do. I
saw you hanging around in the courtyard all alone at such ate hour, so I couldn’t resist giving you a
surprise,” he answered casually.“Surprise, huh?” Winnie clenched her fingers so tight Nate could hear
her knuckles cracking. “I’ll make you experience the surprise of a lifetime!”Ever since she returned to
Chanaea, she hadn’t gotten a chance to practice with the people from the club. Now, the insolent Nate
standing before her was the perfect punching bag.She first gave him a punch to the stomach before
sweeping his leg and sending him crashing to the floor.Although her movements were smooth, the
strength she used was nothingpared to those burly men’s.However, Nate was too weak. He had
some muscles, but they were only there for the visual enjoyment of his female fans.Therefore, he
couldn’t defend himself at all when Winnie attacked.Staring at Nate on the ground, Winnie curled her
lips into a mocking smile.“You’re much weaker than I thought, Nate! I’m surprised at how easy it is to
beat you,” she teased, echoing Nate’s words earlier.Nate curled into a ball on the floor, covering his
stomach with his hands. “Winnie, you sly woman! How dare you sneak an attack on me!”Winnie
couldn’t help butugh. “Sneak attack? If this is considered a sneak attack, then I suggest you donate
your eyes. It seems they are of no use to you.”She continued, “Nate Fraser, you better stop messing
around. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re going to Alendor, you’d be a cripple now. I believe there is
something you need to know. Xavier and Old Mr. Fairchild keep their hands off you because of your
families’ close ties and cooperation throughout the generations. However, I don’t have that sort of
rtionship with the Fraser family. Even if I beat you half to death or send you to rot in jail, I’m afraid of
nothing. Do you understand? If you can’t remember this, it’s fine. I can record it and send it to you. I
rmend you listen to it at least thrice before bedtime, all right?”Nate fixed his re on Winnie. “You
evil woman! Was this how you treated Yulissa before?”Winnie was about to leave, but Nate’s ridiculous
question held her back.After giving it a thought, she responded, “To tell you the truth, I usually don’t hit
women even though I’m good at fighting. As for Yulissa, I think she’s actually different from you.
Although you’re despicable, there’s still some humanity in you. On the contrary, she’s like a disgusting
cockroach that hides in the dark. I don’t think I ever got the chance to confront her face-to-face. What a
shame it is. When I see her next time, I’ll surely squash her with my foot as if she’s a cockroach!”“Shut
your trap! I won’t allow you to speak of Yulissa like that. You’re the disgusting one. You’re the
cockroach!” Nate struggled to his feet and looked at Winnie with a vicious expression.Winnie simply
nced at him and countered, “It’s not strange for you to think of me like that. Suit yourself. I don’t
really care.”She then went on her way, but Nate would not stop following her.Turning around, Winnie
warned, “If you insist on walking the same path with me, I can send you flying with one kick right
now.”The look in her eyes made it clear that she was not joking.Out of reflex, Nate covered his stomach
and took a step back.Despite that, he refused to admit his fear as he said, “It’s easy to make me leave.
Just answer my question. You’re required to tell me the truth.”“Required?” Winnie chuckled. “I’m being
nice enough by not kicking you. How dare you make a request like that?”“Of course I dare to! Why
wouldn’t I? Maybe you’re the one who’s scared of answering my question,” Nate taunted.His words
were met with silence.Winnie narrowed her eyes, studying Nate. Her calm gaze sent chills down his
spine for some reason.However, he did not cower. “Why are you staring at me? Just tell me if you’re
scared!”Winnieughed again. “How old are you? You’re so immature.”“You’re the immature one!” Nate
hated it when people used that adjective on him. “You’re only in your twenties. Stop acting mature in
front of me!”Winnie ignored him. As if speaking to herself, she mumbled, “I remember now. You must
be twenty-two this year, just like my stepsister. It seems like you two not only have the same age, but
also the same stupidity.”“Who are you calling stupid? Don’tpare me to that foolish Kylie!”Nate’s
every word sounded amusing to Winnie.“Why can’t Ipare you two? Don’t you feel that you are
simr in many ways? Since you know my sister’s name, you probably know about the beef between
us. She once pushed me off the mountain here in an attempt to kill me. Of course, Yulissa was in it with
her. Kylie was just Yulissa’s pawn in that murder attempt. I’m sure you know what happened afterward.
Kylie went to jail, while Yulissa continued her evil doings. Kylie is just a pawn of hers, and you are no
different. Wait, no. Let me correct myself. You’re worse off than Kylie, because Yulissa yed with your
feelings.” Nate was aware of what Yulissa had done to him. At times, he hated her, but that sentiment
was overwhelmed by his love for her and his desire to please her.He had never truly won her heart, so
he badly wanted everything she had to offer.Winnie knew exactly what was going on in the mind of the
conflicted and obsessive Nate.“I know what you want to know even if you don’t tell me. You want to ask
me about Yulissa and find out whether she’s still alive, right?” she pointed out.“Yes. I know you are
investigating about her. So, what did you find? Is she still alive? Tell me where she is now!” Nate
demanded as he stared at Winnie fixedly.Not wanting to cause herself more trouble, Winnie said
indifferently, “She’s long gone. If you don’t believe me, go to the police station. You’ll surely see her
death certificate there.”“You’re lying!” Nate was in disbelief. “You said that you’d step on her the next
time you see her!”Winnie smiled. “You missed some details. I said I’ll surely squash her with my foot as
if she’s a cockroach. I made a wrong choice of word, though. It’s not next time, but in my next life.
She’s dead as a doornail now, so I don’t have the chance to do that anymore.”“No, that’s impossible.
You’re definitely lying,” Nate insisted while ring at Winnie.“Why would I do that? If she were alive, I’d
ask you to help me find her. Now, get lost. Stop following me.”“You’re just scared that I’ll find her. You’re
scared that we’ll join hands against you.”“Whatever. I don’t care about you guys at all. I have to remind
you something, though. If you don’t like my master’s granddaughter, Ynda, please stop using her. If
anything happens to my master because of this, I will make you pay.”Winnie was starting to lose her
patience, so she was exuding an extremely cold aura.Intimidated by her expression, Nate stopped
following her.However, he suddenly chuckled when Winnie was about to leave.That stopped her in her
tracks. After a short hesitation, she turned her head.“What are youughing about?”Nateughed again
before saying, “Winnie, it seems like you have many enemies. I don’t think I’m the only one who wants
to give you a ‘surprise’ tonight.”Winnie was unfazed. “Oh? Who else wants to surprise me?”Nate raised
his brow and said sarcastically, “That I don’t know. And even if I do, I won’t tell you. All I know is that
when I was waiting for you here, someone was tailing you. I only want to know where Yulissa is. As for
what that person is after, I have no idea. Who knows? It could be your life.”Winnie narrowed her eyes
without saying anything for a moment. Then, she uttered, “Trying to scare me, huh? Well, enjoy your
trip to Alendor.”When Winnie entered Xavier’s room, she peeked outside before closing the
door.Noticing how cautious she was acting, Xavier couldn’t help but furrow his brows. “What
happened? What are you looking at?”Winnie did not find anything, so she shut the door while
exining, “Nate was waiting for me on my way here, and I gave him a beating. In the end, he imed
that someone who wants to take my life was following me.”Xavier’s frown deepened. “Nonsense.
Grandma and Mom are both gone. Now, you are thedy of the house. Who would dare to take your
life? If I find them, I’ll tear them apart. I can’t believe Nate is bold enough to mess with you. He must
have a death wish.”“He came to ask about Yulissa. I was worried he’d cause a ruckus, so I lied. He
doesn’t buy it, though.” Winnie knitted her brows and added, “You have to make sure he leaves for
Alendor tomorrow. If he stays in the country to get in our way, things will surely be
troublesome.”“Don’t worry. The Fairchild family has projects in Alendor as well. I can’t do anything to
him under Aunt Beatrice’s nose, but now that he messed with you, they can’t me me for disciplining
him.”“He indeed needs to learn it the hard way. All right, enough of him.” Winnie took out her
acupuncture kit and changed the topic. “Time for your treatment. I still need to go back to Granny
later.”“Do you really have to go?” Xavier was already reluctant to let her leave even when it wasn’t time
for her to go yet. “I’ll miss you. Can’t you just stay?” he pleaded, wearing a mncholic look on his
face.Winnie pushed him away without any hesitation. “No. I’ve promised Granny.”“But the elders sleep
early. Just look at my grandpa. He’s probably asleep now.”“If this were another day, she’d probably be
sleeping by this hour. But tonight is different. She will definitely wait until I return. Be good and lie
down.”Xavier could tell that she was getting impatient.Not wanting to make her mad, he obedientlyy
down on the bed.Winnie had gotten the hang of performing acupuncture. In no time, she had skillfully
inserted dozens of needles into various acupoints.Now, all they had to do was wait.Xavier wanted to
talk to Winnie, but that would affect the effectiveness of the treatment. Thus, she ignored him on
purpose.In the end, the two of them drifted off.Nearly twenty minutester, a sudden noise jolted them
awake.“What is it?” Xavier eximed, abruptly opening his eyes.Winnie was a little dazed as she had
just woken up, but she soon regained her senses.“You have needles on your head. Stay still.” After
calming Xavier down, she looked at the time.“There are still ten more minutes to go.”At that juncture,
another bang sounded outside.Xavier furrowed his brows tightly. “It’s the sound of a gunshot!”Winnie
had stayed abroad for a long time, so she was familiar with the sound of guns. “You’re right. Your
treatment isn’t over, so stay in bed. I’ll take a look outside.”“No!” Xavier pulled Winnie back. “How could
I let you go out before we even figure out what’s going on? If anything, I should be the one to go.
Remove the needles on my head.”Winnie frowned. “Then today’s treatment will be useless.”Xavier shot
Winnie a stern look. Then, he attemped to pluck the needles off himself. “Then I’ll do it myself.”“Stop it!
Don’t mess around.” Knowing that she couldn’t stop Xavier, Winnie could only give in. “I’ll do it. Be
careful not to hurt yourself.”After a short discussion, the two decided that Xavier should check the
situation outside while Winnie went to check on Jacinta.Right when they left the room, the butler ran up
to them, panting.“Bad news, Mr. Xavier!” he cried out.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
