Silly Bride

Chapter 310

they didn’t know him well, so they didn’t agree with me marrying him. However, my brother tested Xavier, and he passed successfully. In the end, Grandpa and Grandma approved of him. Granny, I’m very glad that my grandparents and my brother approved of our marriage.”Winnie said that because she knew Jacinta was not fond of Xavier. But Wilhelm, Grandpa, and Grandma have approved of Xavier, so why can’t Granny? Naturally, Jacinta caught the meaning behind Winnie’s words.She thought for a while and said, “Xavier is an excellent man. Even the duke and the others acknowledge him as your partner. But, Winnie, some impressions can’t be changed right away. I still can’t forget the scene of Xavier pushing Captain Bennett down from the rooftop. He looked really terrifying.”“Granny, let’s not talk about this matter anymore. We should hit the hay,” Winnie responded. She knew that Jacinta probably didn’t mean to bring up that matter, but she really didn’t want to recall that moment.The next morning, Jacinta woke up early, and Winnie was woken up by her movement.Seeing that Jacinta wanted to get out of bed by herself, Winnie sat up at once. “Where are you going, Granny?”Jacinta put her hand on her sore back. “I’ll make breakfast. You can sleep for a while more. I’ll call you when it’s ready.”“No!” Winnie quickly lifted the thin quilt and got off the bed. “Let me do it. You should rest to relieve your lower back pain.”Jacinta gently massaged her waist. “It’s okay. It’s not painful anymore. I don’t need to go to the hospital either. Go about your business today, and don’t worry about me. Ask Xavier to come back in the evening and have dinner with us.”“Really? Don’t push yourself too hard. You didn’t agree with me when I said we should find a housekeeper to prepare meals for us.”“Why do we need one? Doing housework is also a kind of exercise. I won’t be happy if you let me sit and be idle all day long. You should lie down and sleep longer.”Even so, Winnie still got up and made breakfast with Jacinta.While having breakfast, Jacinta asked, “Are you going to work with Xavier later?”Winnie took a look at the clock before replying, “No. I won’t go to work today. I’m going to do something elsewhere. As for Xavier, he probably will need to sleep an hour longer, so I won’t go with him. I’ll leave immediately later.”Jacinta glanced at her. “I told you you should sleep a little longer.”“It’s fine. I’m fully rested.” Winnie smiled. She usually didn’t eat much in the morning, so she finished her breakfast quickly.After that, she changed her clothes and left.Originally, she planned to go out straight away, but after looking at the time, she changed her mind all of a sudden and went to Xavier’s house.After opening the door, Winnie tiptoed into Xavier’s room.Xavier was still sleeping. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dark.She walked over and kissed his lips lightly, thinking that he wouldn’t notice it.To her surprise, just when she was about to leave, she was pinned down by the man under her.“Seducing me so early in the morning? Why are you so naughty?” Xavier stretched out his hand and pinched her chin.Winnie gave him the side-eye. “I haven’t even started. When did you wake up? Were you trying to scare me?”“Nope, I was just trying to see what you were trying to do. I woke up the moment you opened the door. I am a light sleeper.”Upon hearing that Xavier slept lightly, Winnie couldn’t help but furrow her brows. “Why? I heard Josiah say that the antidote developed by Professor White was pretty good. Why are you having insomnia?”Xavier lowered his head and pecked her on the lips. “Are you really ignorant or are you just pretending? I didn’t sleep well because I
