Silly Bride Chapter 336
Chapter 336
“Xavier?”Winnie turned around and lifted her head. Before she could make eye contact with the man
behind her, she was pulled into an embrace.At that moment, her head was gently leaning against a
warm and familiar chest.She wrapped her arms around the man’s waist tightly and eximed in
surprise, “Why are you back so soon?”“Ipleted my work sooner than expected, so I got back a day
earlier,” Xavier answered, his tone filled with remorse.After saying that, he couldn’t help but nt a light
peck on Winnie’s hair before apologizing, “I’m sorry I got backte. Just leave everything to me.”Winnie
inhaled the familiar scent on Xavier’s body and finally felt a sense of relief after a few days of
chaos.“Okay.” She nodded as she rxed and leaned against him entirely. “I need your help.”“Sure,”
he whispered. “I will always lend you a hand. You can leave it to me without worrying.”The couple
enjoyed a quiet moment in each other’s arms. After Winnie felt she had recharged her spirit, she finally
got up and told Xavier, “Let’s talk outside.”“Okay.” Xavier reached out and held her hand before falling
silent.Shortly after, they exited the ward together.A dim light was switched on outside the ward. As soon
as they walked there, Mason got to his feet swiftly and exined, “Ms. Gand, it was Mr. Fairchild
who asked me to stay quiet just now.”Winnie let out a soft hum in acknowledgment before telling
Mason, “You may go back and rest now. Come back after you’ve got some sleep. We don’t need you
for now.”“All right!” Mason nodded and left the ward promptly.After Mason left, Xavier held Winnie in his
arms and sat down on the couch.He cradled Winnie’s hands and said, “I already know the general
situation after Josiah told me about it. Currently, the possibility of Granny confessing her crimes is low.
So, I’ll make a police report as soon as the sun rises. It’ll take another hour. What do you think about
this n?”“All right, we’ll do that, then.” She had already made up her mind. “It’s not a good idea to
dy further. Is everything fine on Stuart’s end? We can’t afford to make any more mistakes on this
matter.”“Don’t worry. Stuart’spletely under our control. I won’t let him escape this
time.”“Okay.”“There’s one more hour to go.” Seeing Winnie’s reddened and swollen eyes, Xavier
frowned and felt his heart wrench. “Talk to me. Tell me everything that’s troubling you now. We will face
them and solve them together.”“All right…” Winnie didn’t even feel this much grievance when she wasContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
being called ungrateful and heartless by Jacinta.After all, she knew she must stay strong and maintain
her rationality during that time.However, now that she was in front of Xavier, she could feel all the
grievances she had suffered crashing down on her, turning her eyes red to the point that she wanted to
cry.Winnie leaned on his warm and strong shoulder as she vented her feelings.This was the only time
when she would babble everything on her mind without any reserves.Despite her prattle, Xavier
listened attentively with his gaze fixed on her face from the beginning till the end.After Winnie was done
ranting about her problems, heforted her gently, “Silly girl, just leave this to me. From now onward,
you don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.”Time flew as they embraced each other and shut
their eyes to get some rest. When it was finally morning, the doctor who was doing their rounds
informed Winnie that Jacinta might be awake within half an hour.Not long after, Josiah also brought
some breakfast and arrived at the ward.Since he knew Xavier had returned in the early morning, he
brought some food for both Winnie and Xavier.After cing down the breakfast, Josiah nced at his
watch and asked Xavier, “Is it all right if we get going in fifteen minutes?”Xavier nced at Winnie
before replying to Josiah, “We don’t have to wait another fifteen minutes. Let’s go now.”Xavier didn’t
want to see his beloved woman feel distressed by this matter any longer. He even wished that this
entire situation would be over right then.Unexpectedly, he bumped into Rufus right when he reached
the entrance of the ward.“Grandpa?” Xavier asked in confusion. “Why are you here?”Rufus was equally
surprised to see Xavier there as well. “When did youe back? I thought you’d be there for two more
days?”“I got back early.”“Mm-hmm.” Rufus patted Xavier’s shoulder and said, “It’s indeed your
responsibility to handle such a huge issue that happened at home. It’s been tough on Winnie
throughout the few days you were absent.”“Yes, I know.”Hearing that, Rufus nodded before asking
again, “Why are you in such a rush? You haven’t even changed yet. Where are you going?”“I’m going
to make a police report,” Xavier immediately responded. “I want to settle this as soon as possible.”“Is
there no other way to proceed from Jacinta’s side? Is she still refusing to confess to her crimes?” Rufus
inquired.Xavier nodded. “Looks like there’s no room left for discussion. Last night, she was sedated
because she got too agitated. She’ll need another half an hour to wake up.”Hearing that, Rufus heaved
a deep sigh. “To be honest, Jacinta is a pitiful person, too. It’ll be best if the grudges and grievances
can be resolved today. However, your Uncle Stuart is still my biological son. I think he deserves a
chance to confess. Let me talk to him. It’ll be great if he’s willing to confess. But if he remains
unrepentant, I won’t hesitate anymore.”Xavier furrowed his brows. “I understand your concern,
Grandpa. But I must remind you not to trust Uncle Stuart’s words. He might be lying to you even if he
promised to confess his crimes. Don’t agree with any of his unreasonable requests.”“Of course, I
won’t.” Rufus knitted his brows and smiled at Xavier. “You’ve grown gutsy now, huh? You even dare to
lecture your grandpa now.”Xavier pursed his lips lightly and replied, “I don’t have the courage to do so.
Besides, I’m not lecturing you. It’s just a reminder.”“Fine, I got it. I know what to do. You must’ve
already confiscated Stuart’s phone, right? Call them now.”“Okay,” Xavier responded before taking out
his phone to make a call.Shortly after, the phone call was answered. After Xavier exined the
situation, he handed the phone to Rufus.Rufus epted the phone and paced around the ward while
talking to Stuart.Since Rufus was walking around the ward, no one else could hear what Stuart had
said.The only thing that everyone could hear was Rufus’ answer before he ended the call. “All right, I
promise you.”With that, Rufus returned to Xavier’s side with the phone in his hand.Xavier looked at
Rufus with a deep frown and asked, “Grandpa, what promise did you make with Uncle Stuart? Didn’t
we just agreed not to ept his requests so easily?”
