Silly Bride

Chapter 78

the woman knew he had never stopped looking for Winnie.She watched him suffer all the while but never decided to show up.When he threatened Paulina to rescue Yulissa with him, he lied to her about planting a bomb on her bulletproof vest.Yet, Paulina decisively left him when someone threw a smoke bomb.When Winnie was Dumbo, she was naive and pure. However, when she was not, she was firm and decisive.However, at that time, he had no idea that Paulina was his Dumbo.If he had known it sooner, there was no way he would threaten and scare her with the bomb. Now, no matter what, he would not dare to cross Paulina’s—or Winnie’s, for that matter—bottom line, for he knew once he did that, she would leave unhesitatingly.As for Xavier, he no longer wanted to experience the torment of losing her again.He told himself long ago that he would still want her, even if she stayed a fool for the rest of her life.If she was not, he would want her even more.“Winnie.” With a frown, Xavier hovered his finger on Winnie’s face and traced the outline of her facial features. “You’ll tell me the truth someday, right?”Life on the island was relaxing and peaceful. Ever since she returned to Chanaea, it was the first time Winnie could bathe herself under the warm sunlight on the beach.Sitting somewhere close to her was Xavier, barbequing some food.It all happened because the woman said she was craving chicken in a spoiled manner. As a result, Xavier had the driver and bodyguards set up a barbeque pit.Winnie did not bother about helping. All she did was build sand castles and swipe her phone.A moment ago, she finally managed to get in touch with Christopher, but he quickly left the conversation to deal with his affairs, leaving her questions unanswered.For this reason, Winnie was a little upset. As she still had her phone in her hand, she had nothing else to do. Upon seeing Xavier being busy in front of the barbeque pit, she switched on the camera feature and took a few photos of Xavier without a thought.She wondered how the social media would react if she posted the photos of the CEO of Fairchild Corporation making barbequed chicken for her with his sleeves rolled up while sitting in a wheelchair.Hehe, this angle in this photo is pretty good. I can see all the muscles on his arms. This photo is also good. His shirt is a little wet, so it’s sticking to his body that I can almost see his abs. This one is amazing! The lighting is so great that it further amplified his pretty facial features! Every shot is taken randomly, but they’re so good as if they’re edited!The bored Winnie started scrolling through the photos of Xavier that she just took.Just as she was commenting on them inwardly, a shadow suddenly towered over her.What she heard next was Xavier’s voice.He sounded as if he was in a good mood. “You’re taking photos of me?”Winnie almost failed to resist the urge to put her phone away, feeling as though she had been caught red-handed. Yet, she soon convinced herself.So what if I did? There’s nothing to feel guilty about.Hence, she shoved her phone toward Xavier’s face and uttered, “Handsome, look! You’re so handsome in the photos! You’re the most handsome man I’ve ever seen!”Happy with what he heard, the man reached a hand out and gently stroked her head. “How many times do I have to tell you I’m your hubby, not Handsome?”Pretending as if she heard nothing, Winnie reached her hand toward the plate in Xavier’s hand.“Oh! The chicken wings are ready! I want to have some!”“Why are you in such a hurry? At least wait for me to sit down first.” Xavier hurled his cane to the side and prepared to sit beside Winnie.Seeing his broken leg, Winnie helped him to sit down. “Be careful of your leg, Handsome!”Xavier was delighted that she decided to help. Even though she refused to address him as her husband, she still cared about him.He
