Silly Bride

Chapter 74

lowered his head and brushed his finger on Winnie’s face. “No need to be scared. I’ll be right back.”Her mouth opened as she detected his intention to beat Hayden up, wanting to tell the man to stop.Thankfully, her mind changed at the last second, and she swiftly pretended to be Dumbo again.However, it had been a long time since she put on that persona, so she felt a little rusty. How did Dumbo act in the past? Should I pull his hand bashfully, or should I be bolder and hug his waist? Hmm, I think I want to take a little more advantage of him. So, right before Xavier left, Winnie quickly hugged his slender waist and pressed her face to his warm chest. “Don’t go over there, Handsome. That guy is so scary.”As he listened to her aggrieved words, Xavier’s breathing stop for a second. My Dumbo is afraid of that d*mn man. What the hell has he done to her?Tears welled in his eyes a little before he clearly felt a blood vessel bursting inside. His fist tightened with even more force.Despite that, his voice was softer and gentler than ever before. “Be good, Winnie. I’m not afraid of him. I’ll help you teach him a lesson. If you’re scared, just close your eyes.”She was rendered speechless. What? Does he not know he has a broken leg? He walked over here like his injury wasn’t there at all earlier. Is he going to use that leg to kick that guy too?“Handsome.” In resignation, Winnie tightened her arms fiercely and locked his waist in place. “Don’t go over there. I can see that your leg’s hurt, Handsome. Please don’t move around anymore, okay?”“Dumbo… Are you caring about me right now? You’re not afraid of me or think that I’m disgusting anymore?” With reddish eyes, Xavier loosened up his fists after listening to what she said. Then he patted her head with his big, gentle hands.She dawdled for a bit before nodding. “Mmhm. I care about you, Handsome. I’m not afraid of you anymore. When you weren’t by my side, I missed you a lot.”“Winnie…” With the person he had been missing day and night in his embrace, he could no longer control himself. Upon lowering his head, he kissed her lips violently. “Don’t lie to me. I’ll believe everything you say.”Winnie uttered innocently, “I’m not lying! You need to believe me, Handsome!”“Okay, I believe you.” Xavier bent his waist and hugged her tightly with one arm. At the same time, he used his other hand to pick up a piece of silica gel on her neck that she had used for the special makeup.She didn’t realize he was doing it because she suddenly felt exhausted.The injury on her shoulder given by the man who came searching for his daughter earlier was still painful.Ever since Winnie arrived on the island, she had been running, using a lot of energy. It was only normal that she was tired.Occasionally, she would want to find someone to rest on when she was tired or hurt. This hug feels pretty good.“Let’s go back quickly, Handsome. I’m tired. I want to sleep,” she said.“Okay, I’ll take you somewhere to rest,” Xavier replied.“Mmhm, I want you to carry me.” That request of hers was made intentionally. Although she knew his leg was broken,
