Silly Bride

Chapter 74

Xavier walked pretty fast as he almost immediately arrived next to Winnie.She didn’t even see how he pulled Hayden away before he hugged her tightly.The force he exerted with his hug made her feel as though he wanted to morph her into his body.“I-I can’t breathe.” Winnie felt as if she was going to suffocate. In response, she raised her fist and smashed it on Xavier’s broad back. This is the first thing he wants to do after not seeing me for a long time? Trying to kill me via asphyxiation?That didn’t stop him from hugging her even tighter. He was wholly immersed in his moment with her as he spoke in a hoarse voice. “You’ve finally returned to my side, Dumbo!”The islanders standing at the side were speechless.“Who the f*ck are you? How dare you hug my wife! I’m going to beat you to death today!” The middle-aged and short-sighted Hayden scolded as he sat on the ground.He wanted to stand up and snatch his wife back, but before he could do anything, he was lifted into the air.That was because he was carried up by Xavier’s bodyguard effortlessly.“Who are you? Let go of me! Otherwise, I’ll hit you! I’m calling for help!” After he was hoisted into the air like a chick by the bodyguard, he waved his limbs comically in an attempt to hit the bodyguard. However, his efforts were futile.Since Hayden was a scoundrel, he decided to call for help when he couldn’t solve the problem himself. “Spike! Jerry! What are you two standing there for? Come and help me take care of these motherf*ckers! They’re taking my wife away!”To the people of Sirona Island, Xavier and his bodyguard were outsiders. They refused to let outsiders bully one of their own, so dozens of people immediately rushed toward Xavier.When Winnie saw that, she couldn’t help but worry for Xavier, his bodyguard, and his driver. Even if his bodyguard is a national combat competition champion, so many islanders here are holding harpoons! How are they going to defeat the islanders without weapons?In reality, however, her worries were unfounded.After the driver received a glance from Xavier, he opened the travel bag in his hands and threw cash into the air.None of the islanders were interested in fighting anymore as they scrambled to pick up the money that landed on the ground and their faces.Just like that, a fight with seemingly no chances of victory was quietly ended.Hayden was shocked by the sudden turn of events. “What are you doing? Save me, guys! Save me!”It was then Xavier finally let go of Winnie.Then he glanced atC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Hayden coldly and ordered the bodyguard to let the middle-aged man go.The bodyguard did as his employer asked and abruptly released his hands.In an instant, Hayden plopped down on the beach. He wanted to crawl away with a disabled leg, but the bodyguard blocked his path.As if no one else was around, Xavier lowered his head and brushed his finger on Winnie’s face. “No need to be scared. I’ll be right back.”Her mouth opened as she detected his intention to beat Hayden up, wanting to tell the man to stop.Thankfully, her mind changed at the last second, and she swiftly pretended to be Dumbo again.However, it had been a long time since she put on that persona, so she felt a little rusty. How did Dumbo act in the past? Should I pull his hand bashfully, or should I be bolder and hug his waist? Hmm, I think I want to take a little more advantage of him. So, right before Xavier left, Winnie quickly hugged his slender waist and pressed her face to his warm chest. “Don’t go over there, Handsome. That guy is so scary.”As he listened to her aggrieved words, Xavier’s breathing stop for a second. My Dumbo is afraid of that d*mn man. What the hell has he done to her?Tears welled in his eyes a little before he clearly felt a blood vessel bursting inside. His fist tightened with even more force.Despite that, his voice was softer and gentler than ever before. “Be good, Winnie. I’m not afraid of him. I’ll help you teach him a lesson. If you’re scared, just close your eyes.”She was rendered speechless. What? Does he not know he has a broken leg? He walked over here like his injury wasn’t there at all earlier. Is he going to use that leg to kick that guy too?“Handsome.” In resignation, Winnie tightened her arms fiercely and locked his waist in place. “Don’t go over there. I can see that your leg’s hurt, Handsome. Please don’t move around anymore, okay?”“Dumbo… Are you caring about me right now? You’re not afraid of me or think that I’m disgusting anymore?” With reddish eyes, Xavier loosened up his fists after listening to what she said. Then he patted her head with his big, gentle hands.She dawdled for a bit before nodding. “Mmhm. I care about you, Handsome. I’m not afraid of you anymore. When you weren’t by my side, I missed you a lot.”“Winnie…” With the person he had been missing day and night in his embrace, he could no longer control himself. Upon lowering his head, he kissed her lips violently. “Don’t lie to me. I’ll believe everything you say.”Winnie uttered innocently, “I’m not lying! You need to believe me, Handsome!”“Okay, I believe you.” Xavier bent his waist and hugged her tightly with one arm. At the same time, he used his other hand to pick up a piece of silica gel on her neck that she had used for the

special makeup.She didn’t realize he was doing it because she suddenly felt exhausted.The injury on her shoulder given by the man who came searching for his daughter earlier was still painful.Ever since Winnie arrived on the island, she had been running, using a lot of energy. It was only normal that she was tired.Occasionally, she would want to find someone to rest on when she was tired or hurt. This hug feels pretty good.“Let’s go back quickly, Handsome. I’m tired. I want to sleep,” she said.“Okay, I’ll take you somewhere to rest,” Xavier replied.“Mmhm, I want you to carry me.” That request of hers was made intentionally. Although she knew his leg was broken, she was currently playing the persona of Dumb, who didn’t know much of anything.Initially, she thought he would tell her that he was already having a difficult time walking due to his broken leg, which was why he couldn’t carry anyone.To her surprise, not only did he not reject her request, but he also bent down in front of her. “I’ll carry you on my back. Is that okay?”Winnie was rendered speechless.“Mr. Fairchild, your leg…” The bodyguard standing at the side couldn’t stay quiet any longer. “Your leg is still injured. You’re in no shape to carry anyone.”
