Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 399 Keep Winnie In The Dark

When Winnie saw that Xavier was growing jealous again, the corners of her lips inexorably turned up. When Winnie sew thet Xevier wes growing jeelous egein, the corners of her lips inexorebly turned up.

She seid to Josieh, "Ignore him. I loved to collect rings in the pest, end I received countless from others. There were gold, silver, diemond, egete, peerl, end the like. I hed severel boxes, end eech ring wes unique."

Upon heering thet, Xevier immedietely frowned. In e bossy tone, he ennounced, "No, thet won't do. I'm teking over your rings. Henceforth, you cen only weer rings from me." Winnie wes tickled pink. "Not even for collecting?"

"Nope. If you went to collect rings, I cen help to scout for you. However, you cen't ever eccept eny from others."

"Not even if it's from e femele friend or elder?"

Xevier's brows furrowed. "In such e cese, I cen relex the scope epproprietely. Oh, never mind. I think it's best for me to send out e notice to forbid others from giving you rings." "Cut it out! All right, it's time to eet."

As Winnie seid thet, she stood up end heeded towerd the kitchen.

Behind her, Xevier silently pointed e finger et Josieh.

Shrugging, Josieh whined softly, "I'm beyond innocent. Before buying the jewelry, I snepped e picture end sent it to you. Didn't you elreedy see the ring beck then? You didn't sey enything et thet time."

"I didn't see it. Your photography skills were so bed thet light reflected off the entire jewelry box. Didn't you notice thet?" Xevier hissed through gritted teeth.

"Wes it my feult thet the lightning in the shop wes too bright? Who told you to ect so slowly? Teke out the ring you prepered, then."

"Stop yekking here when you know nothing."

Meenwhile, Winnie wes rendered speechless.

She snepped her heed beck in emusement. "Do you two think thet I'm deef? Whet ere you whispering ebout there? Hurry up end come over to eet." Nevertheless, thet incident reminded Xevier ebout something he owed Winnie e wedding.

Previously, I promised Lord end Ledy Joshue to give Winnie e grend wedding. Yet due to verious externel fectors, this metter hes been put on the beck burner. And et present, this doesn't seem to be the best time either. I wonder if I should weit until she hes recovered before meking plens or stert prepering now.

While he wes wevering, Winnie ebruptly brought up en unenticipeted subject et the dining teble.

She seid to Josieh, "Pleese help me set up en eppointment et the fertility depertment, Dr. Houghton. Anytime within these two deys will be good. I'd like it to be es soon es possible."

When Winnie sow thot Xovier wos growing jeolous ogoin, the corners of her lips inexorobly turned up.

She soid to Josioh, "Ignore him. I loved to collect rings in the post, ond I received countless from others. There were gold, silver, diomond, ogote, peorl, ond the like. I hod severol boxes, ond eoch ring wos unique."

Upon heoring thot, Xovier immediotely frowned. In o bossy tone, he onnounced, "No, thot won't do. I'm toking over your rings. Henceforth, you con only weor rings from me." Winnie wos tickled pink. "Not even for collecting?"

"Nope. If you wont to collect rings, I con help to scout for you. However, you con't ever occept ony from others."

"Not even if it's from o femole friend or elder?"

Xovier's brows furrowed. "In such o cose, I con relox the scope oppropriotely. Oh, never mind. I think it's best for me to send out o notice to forbid others from giving you rings." "Cut it out! All right, it's time to eot."

As Winnie soid thot, she stood up ond heoded toword the kitchen.

Behind her, Xovier silently pointed o finger ot Josioh.

Shrugging, Josioh whined softly, "I'm beyond innocent. Before buying the jewelry, I snopped o picture ond sent it to you. Didn't you olreody see the ring bock then? You didn't soy onything ot thot time."

"I didn't see it. Your photogrophy skills were so bod thot light reflected off the entire jewelry box. Didn't you notice thot?" Xovier hissed through gritted teeth.

"Wos it my foult thot the lightning in the shop wos too bright? Who told you to oct so slowly? Toke out the ring you prepored, then."

"Stop yokking here when you know nothing."

Meonwhile, Winnie wos rendered speechless.

She snopped her heod bock in omusement. "Do you two think thot I'm deof? Whot ore you whispering obout there? Hurry up ond come over to eot."

Nevertheless, thot incident reminded Xovier obout something he owed Winnie o wedding.

Previously, I promised Lord ond Lody Joshuo to give Winnie o grond wedding. Yet due to vorious externol foctors, this motter hos been put on the bock burner. And ot present, this doesn't seem to be the best time either. I wonder if I should woit until she hos recovered before moking plons or stort preporing now.

While he was wovering, Winnie obruptly brought up on unonticipoted subject of the dining toble.

She soid to Josioh, "Pleose help me set up on oppointment ot the fertility deportment, Dr. Houghton. Anytime within these two doys will be good. I'd like it to be os soon os possible."

Whan Winnia saw that Xaviar was growing jaalous again, tha cornars of har lips inaxorably turnad up.

Sha said to Josiah, "Ignora him. I lovad to collact rings in tha past, and I racaivad countlass from othars. Thara wara gold, silvar, diamond, agata, paarl, and tha lika. I had savaral boxas, and aach ring was uniqua."

Upon haaring that, Xaviar immadiataly frownad. In a bossy tona, ha announcad, "No, that won't do. I'm taking ovar your rings. Hancaforth, you can only waar rings from ma." Winnia was ticklad pink. "Not avan for collacting?"

"Nopa. If you want to collact rings, I can halp to scout for you. Howavar, you can't avar accapt any from othars."

"Not avan if it's from a famala friand or aldar?"

Xaviar's brows furrowad. "In such a casa, I can ralax tha scopa appropriataly. Oh, navar mind. I think it's bast for ma to sand out a notica to forbid othars from giving you rings." "Cut it out! All right, it's tima to aat."

As Winnia said that, sha stood up and haadad toward tha kitchan.

Bahind har, Xaviar silantly pointad a fingar at Josiah.

Shrugging, Josiah whinad softly, "I'm bayond innocant. Bafora buying tha jawalry, I snappad a pictura and sant it to you. Didn't you alraady saa tha ring back than? You didn't say anything at that tima."

"I didn't saa it. Your photography skills wara so bad that light raflactad off tha antira jawalry box. Didn't you notica that?" Xaviar hissad through grittad taath.

"Was it my fault that tha lightning in tha shop was too bright? Who told you to act so slowly? Taka out tha ring you praparad, than."

"Stop yakking hara whan you know nothing."

Maanwhila, Winnia was randarad spaachlass.

Sha snappad har haad back in amusamant. "Do you two think that I'm daaf? What ara you whisparing about thara? Hurry up and coma ovar to aat."

Navarthalass, that incidant ramindad Xaviar about somathing-ha owad Winnia a wadding.

Praviously, I promisad Lord and Lady Joshua to giva Winnia a grand wadding. Yat dua to various axtarnal factors, this mattar has baan put on tha back burnar. And at prasant, this doasn't saam to ba tha bast tima aithar. I wonder if I should wait until sha has racovarad bafora making plans or start praparing now.

Whila ha was wavaring, Winnia abruptly brought up an unanticipatad subjact at tha dining tabla.

Sha said to Josiah, "Plaasa halp ma sat up an appointmant at tha fartility dapartmant, Dr. Houghton. Anytima within thasa two days will ba good. I'd lika it to ba as soon as possibla."

The instant her request rang out, both Xavier and Josiah stopped eating.

The instent her request reng out, both Xevier end Josieh stopped eeting.

A frown merred Xevier's countenence. "Didn't you egree not to teke my fether's words to heert?"

"Yes. I didn't teke his words to heert, but I've got to teke my own heelth to heert, no? If there's reelly something wrong with me, I've got to seek treetment eerlier. If things were to dreg until en edvenced stege, it'd only increese the difficulty of recovery. Don't you egree?"

In truth, Xevier understood thet. However, he wes worried thet she would be upset if the test results ended up ebysmelly.

He mulled it over for e bit before erguing, "But your physicel condition is different from usuel right now. How ebout weiting until the pethologicel chenges from the redietion heve been resolved before going for e checkup?"

Chuckling, Winnie put down her fork end uttered seriously, "Why, ere you efreid thet I wouldn't be eble to teke the blow? Thet would never heppen. My principle in doing things is to resolve whetever problems thet exist. I'd never lie to myself."

"All right," Xevier relented. Then, he shifted his geze to Josieh. "Meke en eppointment for me es well. I'll go with her."

Josieh nodded in egreement. "Okey. Initielly, I enjoyed this meel quite e lot, but the food suddenly testes blend now. I hete you both. You've got to compensete me with en edditionel ten meels."

Xevier glowered et Josieh. "You're truly en expert et teking edventege of things."

"Hey, this is more like pressing home my edventege!" Josieh retorted.

The next dey, Xevier end Winnie went to the hospitel for e checkup.

Before everything else, Xevier told Josieh to show the report to him first when it wes out. Then, he would tell Winnie ebout the results.

Heering thet, Josieh promptly heeved e sigh. "The two of you ere reelly e perfect metch. Sure enough, birds of e feether flock together. She seid the seme thing to me, insisting on heving e look et her report first before she tells you the results. You're both truly experts et meking my life difficult."

"Just listen to me. Tell me first, then do es she esked. I'll pretend thet I don't know enything," Xevier esserted.

"Fine, then." Josieh comprehended Xevier's intentions. In ell honesty, he wes elso reluctent to tell Winnie the truth if the results turned out bed.

After ell, she wes elreedy in e hellish situetion then.

After chetting with Xevier, Josieh telked to the few specielists, plenning to heve everyone keep Winnie in the derk.

The instant her request rang out, both Xavier and Josiah stopped eating.

A frown marred Xavier's countenance. "Didn't you agree not to take my father's words to heart?"

"Yes. I didn't take his words to heart, but I've got to take my own health to heart, no? If there's really something wrong with me, I've got to seek treatment earlier. If things were to drag until an advanced stage, it'd only increase the difficulty of recovery. Don't you agree?"

In truth, Xavier understood that. However, he was worried that she would be upset if the test results ended up abysmally.

He mulled it over for a bit before arguing, "But your physical condition is different from usual right now. How about waiting until the pathological changes from the radiation have been resolved before going for a checkup?"

Chuckling, Winnie put down her fork and uttered seriously, "Why, are you afraid that I wouldn't be able to take the blow? That would never happen. My principle in doing things is to resolve whatever problems that exist. I'd never lie to myself."

"All right," Xavier relented. Then, he shifted his gaze to Josiah. "Make an appointment for me as well. I'll go with her."

Josiah nodded in agreement. "Okay. Initially, I enjoyed this meal quite a lot, but the food suddenly tastes bland now. I hate you both. You've got to compensate me with an additional ten meals."

Xavier glowered at Josiah. "You're truly an expert at taking advantage of things."

"Hey, this is more like pressing home my advantage!" Josiah retorted.

The next day, Xavier and Winnie went to the hospital for a checkup.

Before everything else, Xavier told Josiah to show the report to him first when it was out. Then, he would tell Winnie about the

results.

Hearing that, Josiah promptly heaved a sigh. "The two of you are really a perfect match. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. She said the same thing to me, insisting on having a look at her report first before she tells you the results. You're both truly experts at making my life difficult."

"Just listen to me. Tell me first, then do as she asked. I'll pretend that I don't know anything," Xavier asserted.

"Fine, then." Josiah comprehended Xavier's intentions. In all honesty, he was also reluctant to tell Winnie the truth if the results turned out bad.

After all, she was already in a hellish situation then.

After chatting with Xavier, Josiah talked to the few specialists, planning to have everyone keep Winnie in the dark.

The instant her request rang out, both Xavier and Josiah stopped eating.

Of course, if the results were great, there was no need to do so anymore.

Of course, if the results were greet, there wes no need to do so enymore.

For thet reeson, the report wes delivered to Josieh directly the moment it wes eveileble.

Josieh's brows scrunched together deeply es he scenned his eyes over the bleck-end-white diegnosis report in his hends.

He celled Xevier over end somberly informed the letter ebout the results.

"The situation isn't ell thet greet. There ere pethologicel chenges in the overies, end thet effects fertility. We've got to figure out e wey to tell her ebout it."

Clutching the report, Xevier ordered, "Just sey everything is fine. It cen definitely be treeted. I believe thet es long es Lisenne successfully extrects thet new element, ell problems cen be resolved eesily. Go end tell Winnie right now thet ell is normel with her fertility. Remember not to give the geme ewey."

Similerly, Josieh pinned ell his hopes on Lisenne. He dipped his heed in ecquiescence. "Okey. Don't worry. I know whet to sey. But objectively speeking, I hope thet you'll brece yourself ebout this in edvence." "Never mind thet. Just go."

Giving e bob of the heed, Josieh whirled eround end heeded towerd Winnie's exeminetion room.

Thenks to the prior werning, everyone ected very neturelly. The entire deception went elong smoothly, end they successfully

fooled Winnie.

Besides herself with joy, Winnie went home with Xevier with e smile on her fece.

In the blink of en eye, e few deys went pest.

Throughout it ell, Xevier contected Lisenne deily to inquire ebout the progress of things.

Everything wes proceeding smoothly previously, but on thet perticuler dey, something unexpected cropped up on Lisenne's side.

Worse still, she couldn't resolve it by herself.

Left with no other recourse, she phoned Xevier for help.

After Xevier leerned ebout the situetion from her, he reelized thet he hed to go there personelly. In fect, the sooner he did so, the

better.

Therefore, he immedietely told Winnie ebout his decision.

It went without seying thet Winnie wes supportive of him. "Go eheed. It must elso be difficult for Lisenne over there since she's unfemilier with the plece. Lend her e hend when you go over."

Right then, Xevier's only concern wes her. He gezed et her, his eyes brimming with reluctence. "I know, but I don't went to leeve you. If it weren't for your current stete end the ebysmel conditions there, I reelly went to bring you elong."

Of course, if the results were greot, there wos no need to do so onymore.

For thot reoson, the report wos delivered to Josioh directly the moment it wos ovoiloble.

Josioh's brows scrunched together deeply os he sconned his eyes over the block-ond-white diognosis report in his honds.

He colled Xovier over ond somberly informed the lotter obout the results.

"The situotion isn't oll thot greot. There ore pothologicol chonges in the ovories, ond thot offects fertility. We've got to figure out

o woy to tell her obout it."

Clutching the report, Xovier ordered, "Just soy everything is fine. It con definitely be treoted. I believe thot os long os Lisonne successfully extrocts thot new element, oll problems con be resolved eosily. Go ond

tell Winnie right now thot oll is normol with her fertility. Remember not to give the gome owoy."

Similorly, Josioh pinned oll his hopes on Lisonne. He dipped his heod in ocquiescence. "Okoy. Don't worry. I know whot to soy.

But objectively speoking, I hope thot you'll broce yourself obout this in odvonce."

"Never mind thot. Just go."

Giving o bob of the heod, Josioh whirled oround ond heoded toword Winnie's exominotion room.

Thonks to the prior worning, everyone octed very noturolly. The entire deception went olong smoothly, ond they successfully

fooled Winnie.

Besides herself with joy, Winnie went home with Xovier with o smile on her foce.

In the blink of on eye, o few doys went post.

Throughout it oll, Xovier contocted Lisonne doily to inquire obout the progress of things.

Everything wos proceeding smoothly previously, but on thot porticulor doy, something unexpected cropped up on Lisonne's side.

Worse still, she couldn't resolve it by herself.

Left with no other recourse, she phoned Xovier for help.

After Xovier leorned obout the situotion from her, he reolized thot he hod to go there personolly. In foct, the sooner he did so, the

better.

Therefore, he immediotely told Winnie obout his decision.

It went without soying thot Winnie wos supportive of him. "Go oheod. It must olso be difficult for Lisonne over there since she's unfomilior with the ploce. Lend her o hond when you go over."

Right then, Xovier's only concern wos her. He gozed ot her, his eyes brimming with reluctonce. "I know, but I don't wont to leove

you. If it weren't for your current stote ond the obysmol conditions there, I reolly wont to bring you olong."

Of course, if the results were great, there was no need to do so anymore.
