Silly Bride Chapter 326


    Chapter 326


    Granny is such a nice person, and she loves me so much…All of a sudden, Winnie yearned to have a


    taste of Jacinta’s mashed potatoes.“Okay. It’s been a long while since Ist had it. I kind of miss


    it.”“Okay. Go and wash your hands. It’ll be done soon.”Jacinta immediately headed to the kitchen after


    speaking.Winnie ced her bag on the couch and picked up Jacinta’s phone.The password of


    Jacinta’s phone was simple. Winnie typed the numbers one to six and easily unlocked it.However,


    when the phone was unlocked, she realized that the call log was empty.Yet, that was enough to cause


    her heart to sink, for that proved there was something fishy with Jacinta’s call logs.Normally, old people


    will not clear their call logs or photos, but since the call log is empty, it’s obvious that Granny had


    cleared them. But why would she do so? What secret is she hiding? Does she know what I’ve been


    doing all along?Distracted by her thoughts, Winnie went to wash her hands.She then wanted to help


    out in the kitchen, but Jacinta chased her out.In the end, she could only wait quietly by the table.Back


    when she was young, she also used to wait for her grandmother to prepare delicious dishes just like


    how she did at present. Her eyes would sparkle with anticipation every time she waited.However, at


    that moment, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.Jacinta soon walked out with a huge pot,


    and as soon as she set the pot down on the table, Winnie could smell the familiar scent of mashed


    potatoes and gravy.Tears instantly fell from her eyes while she stared at the dish that she used to


    love.Jacinta was shocked upon seeing her granddaughter’s tears. “What’s going on? Why are you


    crying?”Winnie hurriedly wiped away her tears.Ever since she had grown to be an adult, she no


    longer allowed herself to cry.However, she was unable to control her tears at that instant.“I’m fine,


    Granny. It’s just that I’m suddenly reminded of how we used to rely solely on each other in the past.


    Back then, we didn’t have a lot of desires or ambitions. Just a simple dish of mashed potatoes and


    gravy was enough to make us happy.”“What are you talking about? Why the sudden tears? Did


    something bad happen today? Tell me. Although I may not be of much help, you’ll feel better if you tell


    me.”Winnie lowered her head and helped herself to some mashed potatoes as tears welled in her


    eyes.“Granny, can I tell you a story?”“Sure! Go ahead, I’m listening.”“Okay, I’ll tell you after I finish my


    food.”Subsequently, she began stuffing spoonful after spoonful of mashed potatoes into her


    mouth.Jacinta was worried when she saw Winnie eating in such a hurry. “Slow down, or you’ll choke.”“I


    just want to take a few more bites.”“Why are you in such a hurry? I can still make this for you in the


    future.”Winnie paused in her tracks when she heard her grandmother’s words. A few secondster, she


    ced her spoon down and began, “Granny, someone told me a story today. There was once a pitiful


    youngdy who had been manipted by her greedy parents who made her give birth to a rich man’s


    child. When the child was born, thedy’s parents sold the child in exchange for money and made the


    lady marry an abusive man. Thedy lived a terrible life, but she soon remarried. She had an adoptive


    daughter and granddaughter. However, unfortunately, her adoptive daughter met a horrible man and


    was killed. Left with no other choice, thedy could only live with her granddaughter. As days passed,


    their lives slowly got better. Yet one day, everything changed. Thedy found her biological son and


    grandchild. However, her biological son and grandchild were not treated fairly in a wealthy family, so


    she did some bad things. She seemed to harbor some hatred for that rich man, and she hated


    everyone in that man’s family. So, she burned down the rich man’s house and let her biological


    grandchild, who hadmitted a crime, get away scot-free. Granny, I heard this story from someone


    else. Do you think that thedy had made the right choice?”When Winnie was talking, she observed


    Jacinta’s expression.Initially, she assumed that Jacinta would express shock or even get


    angry.However, the older woman was merely briefly stupefied before her expression turned


    frigid.“Winnie, where did you hear this story from? It’s all over the ce. Furthermore, this is someone


    else’s problem. We don’t know what she has experienced, so how can we possibly judge if she has


    made the right choice or not?”Winnie stared at Jacinta and said, “We can’t? Is it right to set a house on


    fire? Is it right to help an evil man get away scot-free?”Jacinta was rendered speechless by Winnie’s


    questions. She stared at Winnie with mixed feelings for a long while before saying annoyedly, “It’s


    wrong. It’s all wrong. What’s wrong with you today? Why are you behaving like this just because of a


    story? Are you still going to eat? If not, I’ll go and do the dishes. Oh, forget it, you should stop eating.


    The food has gone cold. You’ll get a stomach ache.”Jacinta then grabbed the te and utensils Winnie


    was using before heading to the kitchen.Turning the tap on to the maximum, she allowed the loud


    noise of running water to fill the entire house. It was as if she was trying to iste herself from the rest


    of the world.Winnie was upset as well, thinking that the tentative questions she had asked ended up


    making the atmosphere tense.Wanting to get some fresh air, she walked out to the balcony.The lights


    on the balcony were switched on. As she stood by the window, she noticed a scratch mark on the


    window sill.Since she had never seen that mark before, she found it peculiar.This mark could only be


    caused by a heavy object. Who would ce a heavy object on the windowsill?For some reason, she


    was suddenly reminded of the day when Xavier had almost been hit by a falling flowerpot that came out


    of nowhere.As she thought about it, her heart sank.She examined the mark and found some traces of


    soil in a corner.There aren’t any flowers. Why would there be soil?After standing on the balcony for a


    few minutes in a daze, she rushed into Jacinta’s room and inspected every corner of the room


    carefully.In the end, she found traces of soil in Jacinta’s wardrobe.This is weird! Her wardrobe should


    be clean and tidy, but there’s soil here! This does not make sense at all!Winnie could not believe her


    eyes. She stood rooted to the spot for a long while before collecting the soil.After doing so, she could


    no longer wait, so she gave Josiah a call and summoned him over.As she was worried about leaving


    Jacinta home alone that night, she passed the soil samples to Josiah.The flowerpot’s fragments and


    soil were still preserved. She needed Josiah to run a test on the two soil samples that she found and


    determine whether they were from the same flowerpot that almost fell on Xavier’s head.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
