Silly Bride

Chapter 94

found a bead in your closet. How could you be so careless? Did you put it in your pocket that night by accident?”The truth was that Zyon knew all about it as he was the one who had instructed Hamish to put the bead in the closet.However, Kylie was easily misled by his words. “Yeah, that must have been the case. I was so nervous that night.”“Dear, don’t be afraid. I’ll come over to meet you immediately. Just wait for me at home and don’t go anywhere,” Zyon said pretentiously. In truth, he was currently gambling with his buddies.“No, you don’t need to come over, Zyon. I just want to ask you a question. You must give me an honest answer.”“Go ahead!”Kylie dried her tears and made up her mind. “If I am willing to admit to the crime of killing Winnie all by myself and go to jail on your behalf, will you marry me after I’m released from prison?”“Kylie, you’re willing to go to jail for my sake?” Zyon pretended to be very touched.Subsequently, he spoke with determination. “If you’re willing to do that, I, Zyon Fairchild, will marry no one else but you. No matter how long you’ll be in jail, be it three, five, or even ten years, I shall wait for you!”“All right.” Kylie really believed him. “I see. I’m glad to hear you say that, Zyon.”“Kylie, are you at home now? Wait for me. I’m coming to you now!”“It’s okay, Zyon. I’m heading to the police station now to turn myself in, so you don’t need to come.” At that moment, Kylie was so moved by her own actions and felt like a heroic warrior.Alas, she had no idea that she was just a pawn and would be discarded the moment after she was made use of.She was soon arrested by the police and was awaiting the next step in the judicial process.Xavier was not satisfied with this turn of events.“Is that all? Isn’t that too light a punishment for her?” Xavier frowned deeply in the video.She has caused so much harm to my Dumbo, but now she is incarcerated without any pain or suffering. How is that fair?Winnie took note of his expression and felt quite amused.“Committing a murder will be a torture to her conscience. Putting her in jail is crueler than taking revenge on her and pushing her down the cliff. What’s more, she not only committed premeditated homicide, but is also now guilty of a cover-up. She thinks that she will only have to serve three years in prison, but when the time comes, she will be punished for several crimes, and the sentence will be extended. In fact, she might have a mental breakdown when that happens. By the way, how is your leg? When will you be back?”“What’s the matter? Do you miss me?” Xavier could not help smiling when he heard Winnie showing concern for him.Seeing the triumphant expression on his face, Winnie refused to let him have his way. Thus, she deliberately said, “No.”Xavier’s brows knitted into a tight knot. “Dumbo, look me in the eyes and repeat what you just said.”“Sure! I’m not afraid of looking into your eyes!” Winnie stared directly into Xavier’s eyes through the screen.However, after moments of staring into his eyes, she felt quite uneasy. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss that could swallow her whole.“Okay, fine.” Winnie looked away immediately. “I admit I do miss you, but just a little. I’m busy every day and I don’t have that much free time.”Xavier chuckled. He sounded pleased as he spoke. “Dumbo, your explanation only serves to prove that you do miss me. Just admit it. Don’t worry. I’ll be back before you know it.”Winnie rolled her eyes at him. “Whatever. I’m not eager to see you, anyway.”Xavier repressed his desire to drag her out of the screen and hold her tightly in his arms.His voice was low and raspy as he said, “You’re not eager, but I am.”It had taken him so much effort to find his beloved woman. Moreover, he also discovered that she wasn’t actually a retard. How could he endure being constantly separated from her?Just as he was about to continue confessing his feelings to her, Winnie’s phone started ringing.Winnie took a look at the screen and picked it up immediately.“It’s my granny. I have to take this,” Winnie explained to Xavier.Xavier nodded. “Sure. I’ll wait for you.”“All right.” Winnie wasted no time and pressed the answer button immediately. “Hello, Granny, how are you doing?”Winnie had barely finished speaking when Jacinta’s worried and anxious voice was heard on the other end of the line.“Winnie, help! Your stepmother has cornered me and she won’t let me go!”“What?” Winnie frowned. “Are you talking about Yara? Is
