Silly Bride

Chapter 341

stunning regardless of whether she was smiling or not, he loved to see her happy face.Since the couple had already decided to cook for each other that night, they headed to the supermarket before going home.Even though they had been together for some time, it was the first time they went grocery shopping together, mainly because there was usually someone else doing the shopping for them.As the supermarket was huge, and there were lots to see, Xavier and Winnie spent quite a while there.The couple had an enjoyable time chatting with each other and weaving through lanes, searching for the ingredients they needed.After leaving the supermarket, Xavier drove straight toward Lagune Mansion.Although he had already decided on their destination, he still asked, “So, shall we head back to the mansion now?”“Sure.” Winnie nodded and said nothing more. However, deep down inside her heart, she knew that if nothing had happened to her grandmother, they would have gone back to Aqua Moana as usual instead. After what happened to Jacinta, Xavier’s intention was for them to move back to Lagune Mansion to prevent Winnie from being triggered by past memories and feeling upset.Winnie was agreeable to that.Although she had already accepted reality, it would take some time for her to move on and feel better.Dinner was finally ready at seven in the evening.The couple’s combined effort consisted of mushroom soup and steamed fish prepared by Winnie, as well as beef brisket, spareribs, and grilled prawns prepared by Xavier.However, just when they were about to dig in, Josiah suddenly arrived.Seeing that Xavier and Winnie had yet to start eating, Josiah immediately asked for an additional set of cutlery.Annoyed, Xavier said, “Can’t you reach slightly later? Why do you have to arrive just when we are about to eat?”Josiah looked at Xavier incredulously and replied, “Oh, come on! It’s just a meal. Hmm, where is everyone? Why hasn’t anyone brought me my cutlery?”He started looking around after saying that.Xavier shot Josiah a glance and said, “Stop looking. There isn’t anyone else here. I gave them a day off today.”“Huh?” Josiah swept his gaze across the dining table and noticed that the spareribs did not look very appetizing. He instantly understood what was happening and exclaimed, “Xavier, don’t tell me you made these yourself!”“What if I did? Are you not happy with that?”“That’s not what I meant. Although the spareribs look so-so, the steamed fish looks great. Seems like you’ve made some improvements.”“Dr. Houghton, you have a great eye. I was the one who cooked that fish,” Winnie said.“I see.” Josiah nodded before continuing, “I get it now. It seems like I’ve arrived at the perfect time. It’s my honor to be able to taste the food prepared by the two of you. I’m still quite disappointed though. You guys
