Silly Bride Chapter 311


    Chapter 311


    In the end, they both exited at the same time as the heavens suddenly opened up, releasing a torrential


    downpour less than ten minutester.This residential area wasrge and featured a spacious parking


    garage. Therefore, many residents parked their cars there, including Xavier.He wanted to drive the car


    right where Winnie was to keep her from getting drenched in the rain.Unbeknownst to him, a flower pot


    came sailing from above as soon as he stepped outside to get his car.She shrieked a warning when


    she noticed it almostnded on Xavier’s head.He wasn’t carrying an umbre, so he immediately took


    a step backward when he heard her, narrowly escaping an ident. The flower potnded on the


    ground and shattered into pieces.He craned his neck to look up but saw nothing.Winnie walked to his


    side with a frown. “You could have been gravely injured if you hadn’t dodged it. Every household has a


    semi-enclosed balcony, and some are fully shuttered. How could a flower pot fall? Did you offend


    someone recently?”Xavier nced at the mess on the ground, and his brows furrowed. “That will be


    too many to count, but those who intend to harm me…”He trailed off and instinctively surveyed all the


    floors of Winnie’s block, remembering that Jacinta also lived here. He continued, “I don’t recall them


    residing in Aqua Moana. This is truly baffling.”“Let’s look for property management. The perpetrator


    must either be one of the residents or a visitor. It may be hard to figure out which resident it was, but


    visitors will leave a trail.”“Okay.” He nodded. “Get in the car.”They arrived at the property management


    office shortly, and the staff pulled up the security tapes upon hearing their exnation.No visitor had


    brought a flower pot up the stairs in thest three days, let alone this morning. Only the janitors would


    clean the corridors once every two days.Thus, there was no way to investigate, and the property


    management could only advise Xavier to park his car in the underground garage to avoid such mishaps


    on the ground.He and Winnie understood they should just leave it at that.“Do you suppose it was


    Harold?” She asked, still perturbed.Xavier shook his head. “If it were Harold, he would have gone after


    you instead of me. Whatever it is, be careful for now. How about you go to the office with me


    later?”“No,” Winnie declined. “I need to meet Mason, then Lisanne at the Marsh residence. I’ll look for


    you in the afternoon, and we’ll go to Nate’s birthday celebration together at night.”“Keep an eye out.


    Please respond promptly when I text or give you a call.”She frowned slightly. “I’m more worried about


    you.”“Don’t worry.” Xavier caressed her head. “I’ll be careful.”…Winnie went to meet Lisanne at the


    Marsh residence after concluding her meeting with Mason.To her surprise, Lucas was home as


    well.“Why aren’t you overseeing matters at the office today?” She was curious.“Rx!” He eyed


    Lisanne and muttered to Winnie, “I stayed home for Lisanne. She’s a bit down in the dumps. Go on and


    talk to her, then I’ll take both of you out for a fun afternoon.”“Okay.” She nodded. “But count me out. It


    will only be both of you. There’s something else I have to doter.”“What is it?”“I have a banquet this


    evening, and I need to pick out a dress.” “We should go together!” He said. “Please bring Lisanne, and


    I’ll foot the bill today. Girls should go shopping together, so my n works perfectly.”Winnie was at a


    loss for words. “It’s reasonable for me to go with Lisanne, but why are you following us?”“I’m your


    wallet!”“Do we look like we’re strapped for cash?”“Then I can help carry your bags. Are you kidding


    me? Which queen doesn’t leave the house with an escort?” Lucas responded with a flourishing bow.


    “Just like me.”She didn’t want to drag this out with him any longer, knowing that he wouldn’t be


    dissuaded, so the three of them went to the shopping district.Winnie and Lisanne both fancied the


    same brand, and Lucas had worn a few sets of their outfits from the men’s line, so instead of shopping


    blindly, they immediately headed to the store.He enjoyed dressing up and would ask for Winnie and


    Lisanne’s opinions when trying out clothes.Winnie needed to choose a dress and didn’t want him to


    waste her time, so she kicked him out.He had no other option except to take Lisanne with him.Winnie


    ambled around until a ck dress with a bandeau neckline and fishtail design caught her eye.As she


    extended her hand to stroke the fabric, a young and beautifuldy rushed over, yelling, “Don’t touch it. I


    saw that dress first, and I’m going to try it on. You may touch it if I deem it unsatisfactory.”Bewildered,


    Winnie wondered if everyone behaved unreasonably these days. “I promise I wouldn’t even look at the


    dress if it were already in your hands, but it’s still on the rack. Do you think it makes sense that you said


    you wanted to try it first?”“What do you mean it doesn’t make sense? I said I saw it first but haven’t


    gotten the chance to try it on. Do you understand the term ‘firste, first-served’?” The young woman


    argued haughtily, each wording out of her mouth growing increasingly absurd.“So what if you tried


    it on? Does that mean it’s yours?” Winnie scoffed.A girl in austere clothes hurried to them as the youngN?velDrama.Org content.


    woman opened her mouth to retort.She stopped in front of Winnie, her face contorted like she was near


    to tears. “Ma’am, can you please give us this dress? It was an oversight on my part. She was


    interested in it at first, but I forgot to take it to the dressing room, and this happened. Please do me a


    favor and continue browsing, or my life will be hell today.”Winnie’s brows drew together, not wanting to


    give in to that woman, but the girl was in a tough spot, and she didn’t want to make things difficult for


    her.Besides, she suddenly didn’t want the dress after the woman expressed interest in it.“All right, I’ll do


    it for you.” Winnie backed down and took a few steps forward, eyeing another ck dress.The woman


    dered at that moment, “Leave it. I spotted that dress first as well.”Winnie was silent for a second


    before turning back to pin her with a stony expression. “Are you the proprietor of this store?”The


    woman’s gaze raked her up and down before she answered smugly, “No, but I can afford everything I


    try on. I want this, this, and the one I’m wearing now. That’s three pieces in total.”That brought a smile


    to Winnie’s face. I think I’m dressed too casually today for her to look down on me.She met the


    woman’s gaze squarely. “I suppose you still haven’t paid?”
