Silly Bride Chapter 346


    Chapter 346


    Left without a choice, Josiah resigned himself to bing a driver for the couple.He didn’tment


    any further since Xavier had dered the matter a secret.Unknown to him, Xavier was messaging


    Louis.He had sent the name of the restaurant Winnie had wanted to go to earlier to Louis with the


    intention of buying it over. Subsequently, he wanted them to perpetually reserve a private room for


    Winnie so that she could always dine there without having to queue.When Josiah noticed that Xavier


    was upied, he chatted with Winnie instead.“Ms. Gand, what did you tell Greta in the end? I saw


    the serious look on her face back then. Is it a secret? Are you allowed to say?”Shooting Josiah a look


    through the rearview mirror, Winnie couldn’t help butugh. “There are no secrets between us.”A wide


    grin emerged on Josiah’s face. It feels good to hear her say that! “I’m all ears.”Winnie went on to satisfy


    his curiosity. “Thereafter, I brought up the matter about Mason with her. Since Mason has recently


    be my bodyguard, she asked if he was aware of my trip here.”“That’s right.” The same question


    popped into Josiah’s head. “Hasn’t he been guarding you closely? Didn’t hee along this time?”“He


    didn’t.” Winnie exined, “Officer rk had it nned ahead of time. Before we came, he told us that


    the trip had to be kept a secret, and no one must be told about it.”Josiah nodded. “In that case, what


    does Greta n to do? Now that we have stopped investigating her abruptly, Mason will definitely


    be suspicious.”“You’re right, but Greta says that she’ll contact Mason directly to resolve the


    matter. That said, she still needs some time, so we’ll have to keep it from him for the next few


    days.”“Got it.” After giving it some thought, Josiah added, “You should rece your bodyguard soon


    then, as Mason might be leaving in the near future.”Winnie grunted in acknowledgment. “I’ve already


    given the matter due consideration.”After having lunch together, they went their separate ways.As


    Gand Group was now run by a professional manager, there wasn’t much for Winnie to do.When she


    left her office, Xavier was still at work. Hence, she decided to head straight to Fairchild


    Corporation.Even though she arrived to find Xavier still in a meeting, she was in luck as the secretary


    informed her that he would be out in around ten minutes.Nheless, Xavier was still just as busy


    upon emerging from the conference room, speaking on his phone the entire walk back to his


    office.However, the sight of Winnie waiting for him inside caused him to swiftly end the


    call.Unfortunately, he just had too much work. No sooner had he hung up than another call came in.His


    first reaction was not to take it and pretend that he didn’t hear it at all, but in the end, he pressed the


    answer button when he saw the name on the caller ID.After giving him a quick nce, Winnie didn’t


    disturb him. Instead, she gestured for him to continue his call.Nevertheless, she could quickly tell that


    the person he was speaking to was none other than Wilhelm.Hence, she walked to his side the


    moment he ended the call.She asked curiously, “Do you talk to Wilhelm frequently?”“Yes, mostly about


    work.” While speaking, Xavier put his phone on silent and chucked it aside. Once he made sure that


    the office door was locked, he swept Winnie off her feet and carried her to the couch.Even while sitting,


    he was taller than Winnie by an entire head. Thereafter, Winnie put her arm around his shoulders and


    gestured for him to lean against her.Ever since he became an adult, Xavier had never leaned against


    anyone in this manner.Now that he felt the urge to be intimate with the woman he loved, he naturally


    did as he was told.As she stroked his head intermittently, she asked, “Is Wilhelm a pain to deal with?


    Did he make things difficult for you?”Threading his arms around her waist, Xavier nuzzled his head


    against her chest.“No. Other than work, we talk about you. Compared to the treatment I received in


    Yartran back then, his attitude toward me has improved significantly. Despite that, he still insists on


    testing me physically and desires to train together with me.”“In that case, ignore him. He was trained by


    the special forces and isn’t someone an ordinary person can handle. Anyway, I’m d that your


    rtionship with him has taken such a positive turn.”“I’m just hoping not to put you in a spot.” After lying


    against her for a while, Xavier still felt awkward and decided to pull her into his embrace instead.Just as


    he was about to say something, he was so enthralled by her eyes that he couldn’t resist leaning closer


    to her.“Winnie, I want to kiss you.”Without waiting for her response, he pressed his lips against hers.All


    this while, he had been suppressing his desire.He refrained from any intimacy with her due to her


    gloomy mood over what happened with Jacinta.Now that the truth was out and the misunderstanding


    between them cleared up, he was overwhelmed by the urge to close the physical distance between


    them.He yearned for nothing more than to express his undying passion and love to her.Three days


    later, Winnie had found a new bodyguard.Coincidentally, Greta had reached out to Mason, telling himContent ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    to meet her.Filled with tion, Mason informed Winnie right away and requested to take the day


    off.Given that Greta had invited Mason out to clear the air between them, Winnie figured that the former


    must have finished dealing with her own affairs.As a result, she approved Mason’s request for


    leave.Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but sigh to herself when she saw the ecstatic look on his


    face.Mason still doesn’t know Greta’s true identity. Once he learns of it, he’ll understand why the two of


    them can never be together and why his love for her is fated to be unrequited.Once Mason took his


    leave, Winnie departed for the hospital.A new course of Xavier’s medication had been produced and


    she was due to collect it.In reality, she could have let Josiah run the errand alone, but since Xavier had


    managed to squeeze out a few days of holiday and nned to take her on a trip, they had to bring the


    medication along with them.It was alreadyte once she picked the medication up. Nheless, Josiah


    still needed to show her how to inject them into Xavier, which required thetter’s presence.Hence,


    both of them headed to Lagune Mansion together.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.Winnie


    had barely driven the car into the garage when a man covered entirely in blood appeared right in front


    of her.Shocked by the sight, Winnie mmed on the brakes.
