Silly Bride

Chapter 244

go back on my word. I merely assumed you had lost interest in Chris after last night.”Winnie curled her lips into a half smile. “I know this is your territory, Mr. Horton, but now that we’re working together, I’d prefer it if you stopped making assumptions.”“Very well, then,” Harold replied without missing a beat. “I’ve given you my promise, so it’s only right that I do as you say.”Winnie simply hummed in acknowledgment and said nothing more.Not long after, Christopher appeared and strode toward Harold.He frowned when he noticed Winnie but quickly recomposed himself.Unfortunately, that action of his didn’t go unnoticed by the eagle-eyed Harold.“Hey, Hal. You were looking for me?” Christopher asked.Harold’s expression turned serious as he patted the man’s shoulder.“As you know, Ms. Vivian’s safety is of the utmost importance to us. Given your skills and reflexes, you’re the only one I can trust to protect her. That’s why I want you to accompany her on this trip. Do whatever it takes to keep her safe even if it means taking a bullet for her. Do you understand?”Christopher pursed his lips and refused to answer. Oh, come on! I know Harold’s only bullsh*tting me!Not wanting to waste any more time, Harold hugged Christopher and whispered into his ear, “Hey, I’ll make it up to you, pal.”Upon hearing that, Christopher sucked in a deep breath and finally spoke. “Okay. I’ll do my best to protect Ms. Vivian for you, Hal.”“Good,” Harold said as he smiled and patted Christopher on his arm. “Go on, then. You and Ms. Vivian will be riding in that jeep.”“All right!” Christopher said before walking toward Winnie, who was leaning casually against the jeep.Winnie couldn’t help but narrow her eyes when she saw the man approaching.When Christopher told Winnie to put on her hood, she gave a derisive snort and slapped him hard across the face, much to everyone’s horror.Since they were putting on an act in front of Harold, Winnie made sure to use a lot of strength, to the point where blood started trickling down Christopher’s lips.Harold winced at the sight of it, but Christopher remained silent.“You’re an ungrateful sc*mbag!” Winnie scolded before grabbing the hood and climbing into the jeep.As soon as she wore her hood, Harold walked toward Christopher and gave him a comforting look.Christopher, on the contrary, glared at Winnie with pure hatred and disgust.When Harold saw how the two of them hated each other with a vengeance, any doubts that he used to have about their relationship were now completely gone.Just like that, the two enemies got into the same jeep.Christopher, too, had to follow the rules by wearing a thick hood that obscured his vision.However, since they were in an open-top jeep, there was still a lot of space and freedom for Winnie to pull her little tricks.Furthermore, she had Christopher shielding and covering for her, which helped facilitate her efforts even more.Winnie had long pierced holes in the honey-filled condom, but thanks to the excellent seal integrity, the honey would only seep out when the condom was squeezed.That, as it turned out, was what Winnie was doing.Letting the honey drip onto the grass would undoubtedly attract swarms of ants, and given how thick the honey was, it’d take quite some time before the ants could finish consuming it.Therefore, no matter how many detours Harold took in the mountains, the ants would always leave a trail that one could track over time.Along the way, Winnie decided to communicate with Christopher through morse code as she continued squeezing the honey out.Even though there were many variations of morse code, Christopher and Winnie had come up with a new decoding method when the latter first arrived at Harold’s.In other words, they now had an exclusive set of codes that were more efficient and easier to
