Silly Bride

Chapter 144

both Winnie and Josiah fell silent.“Why aren’t you talking anymore? Did you turn mute, or did you lose your courage, huh? Answer me! Don’t make me repeat myself three times. Do you still want to go to the charity gala or not?”Winnie and Josiah shared a look in silence.In the end, Josiah was the first to speak. He whispered to Winnie, “The memories he has must be the ones before the charity gala. He thinks that he’s at that time period right now, and it’s likely that he has forgotten everything that happened after that. You’re still the Dumbo from before to him.”“Josiah? Are you the one beside Dumbo?” Xavier asked in surprise when he heard his good friend’s voice.However, Josiah was even more surprised than him. “You remember me again! Oh, right. You wouldn’t have gone to my office to take the keys and my phone otherwise.”“Who took your phone? I was just about to ask you why I have your phone in my pocket. Where’s my phone? Did you take the wrong one?”After a moment of speechlessness, Winnie chimed in, “Your phone’s with me. It’s broken.”“You broke it? Forget it; forget about the phone. Are you feeling unwell? Why are you in the hospital? Also, why didn’t you tell me you went to the hospital?”Winnie stammered, “I-I’m visiting someone in the hospital. I’ll come back right away. Just stay right at home and don’t go anywhere.”“What do you mean? Were you not planning to come back?” Xavier sounded displeased. “Even if you’re mentally challenged, I still like you because you’re the woman I married. Where else were you planning to stay the night other than in my arms?”Winnie’s jaw nearly dropped.In the past, she would have thought that he was good at flirting.However, now, all she could think was how ludicrous he was and the awkwardness she felt.Hence, Winnie cleared her throat and replied, “Didn’t I say not to go anywhere? I’m coming back right away.”“No!” came Xavier’s instant rejection. “I’ll pick you up! I won’t be at ease to wait for you to come back yourself.”Winnie parted her lips to object to that, but a wave of complicated feelings washed over her. Even when he had issues with his brain, he was still wracked with worry for her.Nevertheless, before she could say anything else, Josiah spoke.“Yes, come and pick her up! It’s true that Dumbo isn’t safe by herself so late in the night. You should drive my Mercedes-Benz over. I’ll get a driver to send the two of you back later.” Xavier instantly retorted, “Why should I drive your car?”Josiah hissed, “It’s because you drove my car back! Check your pockets and see if you have my car keys.”Two seconds later, Xavier wondered out loud, “I really do. Why are your car keys with me?”“Would you believe me if I were to say that you took it from my office?” Josiah answered.Xavier instantly sneered. “Do you really think I’d believe in that? Did you lose your marbles? How can I not know if I’ve taken your car keys or not?”At that, Josiah pursed his lips for a while. “Fine. I drove to you drunk, and I accidentally left it there. Would you do me a favor and drive my car over when you come and pick up Dumbo?
