Silly Bride

Chapter 241

take the floor.”Christopher was startled for a moment. Only then did he notice that she had already made her bed on the floor beside his bed.The pillow on the floor was wrinkled, so he could tell at a glance that she had been sleeping on the ground.Torn between amusement and exasperation, Christopher wore a wry smile on his face. “Are you kidding me? How could I have you sleep on the floor while I take the bed?”Winnie chuckled. “I know you’re very gentlemanly, but my decision stands. I believe you won’t coerce me.”At her remark, Christopher’s smile turned all the more bitter. “You trust me that much?”To that, Winnie quirked an eyebrow. “Of course. Or are you not worthy of my trust?”Chortling softly, Christopher relented, “All right, then. It’s too difficult for me to betray my conscience and claim that I’m not that great a man. I’m going to wash up for a bit. You go ahead and sleep.”After saying that, he turned off the lights in the room.In the dark, Winnie’s brows furrowed slightly. “Can you see if you turn off the lights so early?”“It’s not so bad that I can’t see anything. Mainly, I didn’t want you to be uncomfortable. Go ahead and sleep without worrying. I’m here, so it’s very safe.”“Okay.” Winnie groped for her phone. Unlocking the screen, she found her bed on the floor and lay down.She was merely human, so she similarly felt drowsy when she relaxed after having been overly tense. Not only had Christopher returned safely then, but as he said, it was also safe with him there.Hence, she started feeling sleepy at once. But before sleeping, she still couldn’t resist the urge to bid another person good night. While the person in question might not be able to hear her right then, she still lifted her left hand and gently kissed the ring on her ring finger.“Good night, and sweet dreams.”“Good night. I love you,” Xavier, who was far away in a particular inn in Lightspring, replied when he heard Winnie’s voice from the earphones.Although he knew that she couldn’t hear him, he ultimately couldn’t help adding that final utterance.It seems that I’ve never uttered those three simple words to her in person.At that very moment, he made a vow to himself inwardly. When we next meet, I’ll definitely hug her tightly and say that to her a million times!The next morning, Winnie found herself sleeping on the bed when she awakened.Shock flooded her. I was sleeping on the floor last night. How did I end up in a different place now?She swiftly sat up and darted her eyes around.Only then did she realize that Christopher was neither on the bed nor the floor.Just when she was about to get out of the bed, Christopher suddenly opened the door and walked in.“You’re awake? I brought you some food. I don’t know what you like to eat, so I randomly grabbed something.”As their gazes met, Winnie quickly slid off the bed. She didn’t bother asking such a dumb question as to how she got on his bed.She merely asserted with a faint smile, “Actually, I’m fine sleeping on the floor. Don’t move me
