Silly Bride

Chapter 285

I still remember how she looked when we first brought her home. She looked pitiful, and yet, she was able to warm all of our hearts.”Back then, Wilhelm had some issues with his health. Everyone was extremely depressed because of it, and he even wanted to commit suicide at one point. However, Winnie calmed him down and reignited the flames of hope in his heart. He treasured her so much that he treated her like his own sister.Seeing as he was really concerned about Winnie, Emily decided to tell him what she knew.“Lady Joseph and your mother are close friends.

From what I’ve heard, Nathaniel refused to meet Winnie. Your mother was planning on setting them up on a date, but she scrapped the idea when she found out about Nathaniel’s refusal. Just like that, this whole arrangement was canceled and forgotten.”Wilhelm frowned in displeasure after hearing that.“So, you’re saying Nathaniel rejected Winnie? How dare he? Does he think Winnie doesn’t deserve him? Does he not realize it’s the other way round?”“Wilhelm, sweetie…” Emily didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. “I’m simply telling you what happened. Why are you getting so agitated? Bear in mind that the two of them didn’t know each other. You wouldn’t like being forced to marry a woman you don’t even know,
