Silly Bride Chapter 301
Chapter 301
As Winnie suddenly fell silent, Xavier stopped scanning his fingerprint and inched nearer to her.“What’s
wrong?” He noticed that Winnie was zooming into the photo sent by Nate and asked, “Isn’t this Uncle
Stuart’s back? What is wrong with him?”“There’s nothing wrong with your Uncle Stuart’s back. I’m not
looking at him,” Winnie exined. She showed the zoomed-in part of the photo to Xavier. “Take a look
at this person. Isn’t she Granny?”Xavier zoomed out a little bit before answering, “Her physique does
resemble your granny. However, she’s too far away. Even if we zoomed in, we can’t be sure it’s
her.”“Yes.” Winnie’s brows scrunched up. “But this person resembles her a lot. Let me call her. If this is
her, then why was she at the airport?”Winnie exited the chat and clicked into her contacts.Before she
could scroll down, Xavier handed the phone he was holding to her.“You got the wrong phone. This is
yours. I don’t think Granny’s phone number is saved in my phone,” Xavier reminded her.“Oh, I forgot
we took each other’s phones by mistake. It’s fine, though. I have memorized Granny’s phone
number.”Winnie couldn’t be bothered to get her phone back and immediately dialed Jacinta’s
number.The call got through in just a few rings.Jacinta seemed to be in a quiet ce. She sounded
delighted to receive Winnie’s call.“Hello, Winnie. Why are you calling me at this hour? It should be
nighttime where you are. Why are you not in bed yet?”As there wasn’t any noise on the other end of
the line, Winnie knew that the person Nate caught on camera wasn’t Jacinta.She chuckled and replied,
“I’m still awake. My flight will take off tonight. If there isn’t any dy, I should be back by tomorrow
evening.”“You’reing back? Oh, that’s great!” Jacinta sounded ted. “Is it evening time locally? Or
evening time in Yartran? Tell me what you want to eat so I can get the ingredients ahead.”“Anything will
do. I was talking about Chanaea’s evening time. Just wait for me at home.”“Sure. I’ll prepare a few of
your favorite dishes, then.”“You should prepare some that you like, too…” Winnie chatted briefly with
Jacinta before hanging up.After that, she returned the phone to Xavier and rxed. “So? Have you
saved your fingerprint? You can unlock my phone now.”“Yes.” Xavier used Winnie’s phone to make a
demonstration. “Now, your phone will wee me with open arms anytime.”Winnie gaped. “That
sounded like a filthy joke, but I don’t have evidence to prove it.”Xavier chuckled. “I didn’t mean
anything. You were the one who had the filthy thought. How did it go? Did you confirm Granny wasn’t at
the airport?”“Yes.” Winnie bobbed her head. “She’s at home. The person Nate caught on camera just
resembled her, that’s all. Many people resemble each other in this world, anyway.”Xavier chuckled
lightly and didn’t respond. He zoomed in on the photo and observed it carefully.I still think this person
looks like Jacinta. She is Winnie’s granny, so Winnie will trust her if she doesn’t say anything
contradictory. Even though Winnie trusted Jacinta, that didn’t mean Xavier shared her sentiments.In
fact, he had always doubted Jacinta.As Winnie was drinking water, he said, “I need to go to the
bathroom. If you need something or want to do something, wait till I get back.”With that, he pocketed
his phone and went to the bathroom.After making sure Winnie couldn’t see him, he quickly make a call
and ordered, “I want you to go to the condominium in Aqua Moana to see if Jacinta is at home. Revert
to me ASAP. Also, I ordered you to investigate Jacinta a few months ago, but I still haven’t received
anything from you. Is she a difficult target, or are you not capable enough?”After hearing their answer,
he snorted. “You need more time? Didn’t I give you enough time? If you can’t give me a satisfactory
report one monthter, I won’t make the final payment or seek your services anymore.”Xavier ordered
the private investigator to investigate Jacinta a long while ago, but thetter failed to discover anything
until now. A jolt of fury rose in Xavier whenever he recalled that fact.Furious, he cut the line and
stormed into the bathroom.He was washing his hands when his phone suddenly rang.It was the private
investigator who called to report that Jacinta wasn’t at home.Xavier wiped his hands dry and frowned at
his reflection in the mirror.I knew it. Jacinta didn’t tell Winnie the truth!Nevertheless, he didn’t n to tell
Winnie the truth for now. It was useless to do so. Besides, his suspicion toward Jacinta might end up as
a thorn in their rtionship.Besides, Jacinta coulde up with another lie easily to trick Winnie.She
could say she had just left the house or something simr, and Winnie would buy her exnation
without any doubt.Hence, he said nothing after returning to Winnie’s side.…When the nended at
Avenport International Airport, it was already the following afternoon in Chanaea.After getting off the

return to Aqua Moana to keep Jacintapanyter at night.She was exhausted after spending over
ten hours on the ne. As he didn’t want her to travel around and get more tired, he promptly rejected
Rufus’ invitation.Seeing how thoughtful he was, Winnie gave him a kiss as a reward. “Come back to
Aqua Moana with me.”Xavier’s lips curled as he ruffled Winnie’s hair. “Not today. I’m afraid I’ll ruin
Granny’s good mood if I appear before her. I’ll drop you off downstairs and return to thepany.”“Do
you have to work today?”“Yes. I’ve been working in Yartran, too. Today, I’m going to work in my
office.”“You’re too busy.” Winnie sighed. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you take a break from work.”“I
have no choice.” Xavier raised his brow. “Before getting to know you, I was in aa for a year. I got
enough rest back then.”
