Silly Bride

His phone was on when Winnie called, but no one answered.

Feeling worried about his lack of response, she immediately contacted Louis.

The man answered quickly, but his voice was soft, sounding as if it was an inconvenient time for him to take the call.

Louis responded, “Mr. Fairchild is in a meeting and probably won’t make it in time for dinner. You don’t have to wait for him, Mrs. Fairchild.”

Winnie questioned in annoyance, “Since that’s the case, why didn’t he tell me earlier?”

After all, in the past, Xavier would always inform her in advance if he could not join her for dinner.

In truth, Louis was also a little puzzled. In the past, even if Xavier was caught up in a meeting, he would take the time to reply to Winnie’s messages.

Clearly, Xavier had not notified Winnie that day, or she would not have contacted Louis.

However, Louis could not blame his boss and said the man had forgotten the matter. He could only apologize and accept responsibility for not reminding her in time.

Winnie had no intention of blaming anyone. She was merely worried that something had happened to Xavier because he didn’t answer her call.

Initially, she hoped to speak with him, but when Louis said he was at a meeting, she abandoned the idea.

After finishing dinner alone, Winnie went jogging for a while before returning to her room to wash up.

It was already nine in the evening by the time she finished blow-drying her hair. Not only did Xavier not return home, but he did not even call to explain his whereabouts.

Winnie tried to dial Xavier’s number again.

After waiting a long time, the man finally picked up his phone.
