Silly Bride

Chapter 194

By the way, how is Xavier doing right now? Is he awake yet? I believe it is time for us to depart. Yolanda is obviously a cunning woman. I’m certain she won’t tell the truth if we stay there. Perhaps she’ll tell Old Mr. Xander everything after we’ve left.”After Winnie listened to the voice message, she messaged: You’re right. You should hurry up and return as well. We’ll talk about what happened after we leave the Xander residence.Josiah replied: Right away!Winnie put her phone away after their conversation was over. When Xavier noticed that, he also withdrew his gaze at that precise moment.In fact, Josiah was right. It was about time for them to go.After all, there was a lot of conversation that was inappropriate in the Xander residence.Winnie and Josiah arrived at the Xander residence in their respective cars.It would be natural for Xavier to leave in Josiah’s car, given that he had arrived in Josiah’s car.On the road, Josiah was driving ahead, with Winnie close behind.“Did you experience anything unusual while at the Xander residence earlier?” Josiah inquired of Xavier inside the car.Xavier furrowed his brows and looked at Josiah. “What is it? Tell me.”“It’s about Winnie’s relationship with Old Mr. Xander. They seem to have grown distant all of a sudden.” Josiah frowned slightly.After all, she had always addressed Sebastian as Master. However, she no longer addressed him as Master. Instead, she referred to him as Old Mr. Xander. Sebastian also appeared to be less welcoming to Winnie than he was a few days ago.Xavier hummed. “You’re right. It’s exactly as you stated.”When Josiah heard that, he could not help but glance back at Xavier in the rearview mirror before saying, “From your response, it appears that you’re quite certain. Is it possible that I missed something when I went out to find Yolanda?”“You can put it that way.”“What did I miss, then? Stop keeping me guessing and hurry up and tell me.”As he looked in the rearview mirror at Winnie’s car, Xavier frowned slightly again.“They have already severed their master-apprentice relationship.”Josiah, thinking he had misheard him, asked, “What did you say? Are you kidding me?”“Do I seem to be joking with you?”Josiah found it unbelievable because Winnie had previously demonstrated exceptional talent in front of Sebastian.Yolanda, not Winnie, was the one who was clamoring for a match. Before the first match even began, Josiah was certain that even if Winnie lost all three matches, Sebastian would still accept her as his apprentice.That was undeniably his impression of Sebastian at that time.How could the two sever their master-apprentice relationship so quickly?With that in mind, Josiah stated, “I don’t believe it. Is it possible that you misheard anything?”Xavier replied firmly, “Impossible. I heard it myself.” “Or perhaps you heard it in your sleep? Do you really believe I’m unaware that you only recently awoke? You couldn’t have heard it because you were unconscious most of the time.”Hearing that, Xavier responded calmly, “I forgot to tell you, I was faking it.”Josiah was stunned. “What? You were just pretending to be unconscious?”“Of course. Do you really think half a tranquilizer dose will knock me out in my current condition?”When Josiah heard that, he couldn’t believe he had missed it. “So, what was the point of pretending to be unconscious?”“I knocked out Old Mr. Xander. But because he was Winnie’s teacher, I didn’t want to jeopardize their master-apprentice relationship, so I played dumb. Our goal is to
