Silly Bride

Chapter 314

you.”“That’s right,” Xavier inched closer and whispered in a deep voice, “I just want to savor every inch of your body.”“What makes you think you can do that?” Winnie smirked before putting her hand into his coat’s pocket.Despite the subtle tease, they knew they should not display physical intimacy in public.Nonetheless, the intimacy they engaged in and the bickering over a power struggle would always bring them closer to each other.In this particular leg of the race, Winnie had the upper hand as she managed to bite the man’s chin.Under such circumstances, Xavier would always forget how he got mad in the first place.Her action rendered him speechless. “You’re really my bane, Winnie.”“What’s wrong? You mad?” she asked.“Of course not,” he replied, “I couldn’t be happier.”Winnie chuckled. “Your bane is going to feed you some fruits now.”She carried a plate of fruits, placed it in front of Xavier, and picked up a piece of watermelon with a fork.Xavier did not want her to make a mess, so he took over the plate and the fork from her.Meanwhile, Nate was observing their interaction from a distance. These two always seem emotionally distant and treat others indifferently, but they’ll always engage in light-hearted banters and feed each other whenever they’re together.He was envious of their relationship.Not only had Xavier long seen through Yulissa’s vicious nature and hypocrisy, but he also managed to meet a great woman like Winnie after breaking up with Yulissa.He could not help but envy Xavier. We both have similar tastes and family backgrounds, but why still can’t I find the love of my life?Nate wanted to know what it meant to fall in love with someone.In the meantime, another person whose eyes were green with jealousy was also staring at Xavier and Winnie.The person was none other than Shania, who belonged to the same entertainment company as Nate.She came to the event not because Nate invited her but because her publicist brought her there.Her publicist did this to boost her exposure in the media. At the same time, she also hoped to highlight Shania’s connection with Nate to increase her popularity since the latter was her senior in the company.Little did Shania think she would bump into Winnie.Earlier, when she asked the store manager about Winnie, the manager refused to reveal her identity, claiming his customer’s details were private and confidential.Shania then attempted to dig out more about Winnie on the internet but to no avail. She was taken aback when she learned that the woman was Xavier’s wife. If she’s married to Xavier, how could she still flirt with the young man at the store just now? I wonder what Xavier will think of her. Men can never stand their wives cheating on them, can’t they? Perhaps, I should introduce her “boyfriend” to her husband. That’ll teach her a lesson for stepping on my toes!…After waiting patiently for half an hour, Shania finally seized the opportunity to strike.Nate, the star of the night, was about to deliver his speech. The members of the press had also arrived at the hall.Knowing that Nate was coming in, all the guests stepped aside to make way for him to walk through.Before Nate could get on stage, Shania lifted the train of her dress and walked on the path that was set aside for Nate.She continued walking and stood in front of Xavier and Winnie.Winnie gaped at her in shock when she saw Shania but soon regained her composure. She must be from the entertainment industry. Probably Nate’s friends or the plus-one of one of his friends.Had this woman not come to look for her, Winnie would not have provoked her even if she had seen her. Looking at the arrogant look on her face, Winnie felt that she should teach her a lesson.“What do you want?” Winnie asked without hesitation.Shania smirked and rolled her eyes at Winnie. “Stop acting all high and mighty. I didn’t come to see you.”“Oh?” Winnie looked up at her with a scowl. A corner of her lips quirked up when she noticed Shania kept looking at Xavier. “You came to look for my husband?”“Bingo!” Shania said. She turned around and looked at the guests as if she wanted them to witness a drama that was about to unfold.She looked at Xavier and gave him a baffling smile. “Mr. Fairchild, do you know your wife is spending your money on her lover behind your back? How could you fall for a woman like that? All the socialites would have
