Silly Bride

Chapter 352

“Why go through the hassle? I can go there on my own.”Xavier smiled to himself and replied in a gentle voice, “Because I want to see you as soon as possible.”Winnie’s heart skipped a beat, and she fell silent.When Xavier did not get a reply, he asked, “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” Even though they were speaking on the phone and were unable to see each other, Winnie could not help but smile. “I can’t wait to see you too.
