Silly Bride

Chapter 74

one of their own, so dozens of people immediately rushed toward Xavier.When Winnie saw that, she couldn’t help but worry for Xavier, his bodyguard, and his driver. Even if his bodyguard is a national combat competition champion, so many islanders here are holding harpoons! How are they going to defeat the islanders without weapons?In reality, however, her worries were unfounded.After the driver received a glance from Xavier, he opened the travel bag in his hands and threw cash into the air.None of the islanders were interested in fighting anymore as they scrambled to pick up the money that landed on the ground and their faces.Just like that, a fight with seemingly no chances of victory was quietly ended.Hayden was shocked by the sudden turn of events. “What are you doing? Save me, guys! Save me!”It was then Xavier finally let go of Winnie.Then he glanced at Hayden coldly and ordered the bodyguard to let the middle-aged man go.The bodyguard did as his employer asked and abruptly released his hands.In an instant, Hayden plopped down on the beach. He wanted to crawl away with a disabled leg, but the bodyguard blocked his path.As if no one else was around, Xavier 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?

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
