Silly Bride

Chapter 376

Mrs. Fairchild have a very strong and healthy relationship. Besides, Mrs. Fairchild’s condition will certainly be cured. Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild are wealthy, so they will definitely find a way to treat her eyes. You are just a housekeeper here who works for Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild. Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate

vision! Is this how you protect her even after you swore on it with your life?”“I’m sorry.” Xavier didn’t make any excuse, as his failure to keep Winnie safe was a cold, hard fact.Wilhelm’s anger flared up whenever he was reminded of his little sister’s current condition.In fact, he had gained a better understanding of the situation because Winnie had explained the circumstances to him, and Xavier couldn’t be blamed for everything that had happened.Nevertheless, Wilhelm was still mad at Xavier.He needed to teach the latter a lesson, so he punched him.Xavier didn’t retaliate and merely endured Wilhelm’s wrath. After getting beaten by Wilhelm and falling to the ground, he got back to his feet and stood before Wilhelm again.Wilhelm restrained himself after punching Xavier twice. Subsequently, the two began drinking in depression and frustration.After finishing a bottle of alcohol, Wilhelm rubbed his temples and said to Xavier, “Do something with the injury on your face.”Xavier propped his head up wearily and responded, “That’s not necessary. Winnie can’t see it anyway. She won’t notice anything if we don’t mention it.”“Whatever.” Wilhelm glanced at Xavier. “Still, I should inform you in advance that I’m bringing Winnie away.”Xavier lifted his head at once after hearing that. “No! You can’t bring her away!”“Why are you so anxious?” Wilhelm shot a displeased look at Xavier. “I haven’t even finished my sentence. I’m not talking about separating the two of you. I’m just planning to bring her back to Yartran to seek medical attention. You can tag along after you make the necessary arrangements at your company. It’s fine even if you’re not going. We’ll take good care of her, but I think she will want you to keep her company.”Xavier let out a sigh of relief upon being enlightened by Wilhelm’s intention.He uttered firmly, “I’ll go. I’m tagging along wherever she goes.”“Okay. Arrange someplace for me to rest. I’ll meet with Winnie when she wakes up tomorrow morning. You should clean up and get rid of the smell on your body before going back to accompany her.”“All right.” Xavier went to take a shower before returning to Winnie’s side.The next morning, Winnie woke up while lying in Xavier’s embrace after being roused by the alarm she had set.Now that she couldn’t tell the time by looking at the color of the sky, she had to rely on alarm clocks.She was slightly surprised because Xavier had yet to wake up even though it was already eight o’clock in the morning.She reached out to touch his face. “It’s time to wake up, you lazy pig. How can you still be asleep when the sun is already high in the sky?”When Winnie touched the wound on the corner of his lips, Xavier subconsciously hissed in pain.Puzzled, she immediately retracted her arm and asked him while wearing a frown, “What’s the matter? Where does it hurt? Is it the place I touched?”Seeing Winnie withdrawing her arm, he swiftly grabbed her fingers and placed her palm on his chest.“This place is hurting. I’m in so much pain.”“What’s going on? Why is this happening?”“That’s because my wife called me a pig.”Winnie was rendered speechless. “I thought you were genuinely having chest pain.”Xavier chuckled and planted a kiss on her forehead. He didn’t tell her about him getting beaten up by Wilhelm last night, but he informed her of Wilhelm’s arrival at Lagune Mansion.Winnie was shocked. “So soon? As expected of Wilhelm. I’ll go and meet with him now.”She was about to sit up as she spoke, but Xavier held her back and gently kissed her lips. “There’s no need to hurry. He reached here in the middle of the night, so I reckon he’s still sleeping soundly. I have something for you. Wait for a moment while I go get it.”“What is it?” Winnie was curious.He pecked her on the lips. “You’ll know in a little while.”With that, he lifted the blanket and got off the bed before returning shortly after with an exquisite box in his hands.He furrowed his brows at the sight of that delicate box. What’s the point even if it’s pretty? She can’t see it anyway.He took out the item inside and tossed the expensive box into the trash can next to the bed.“What exactly is it?” Winnie couldn’t help but ask again.Xavier
