Silly Bride

Chapter 113
“Winnie, over here!” Christopher stood not far away and waved to Winnie.Winnie quickly put away her phone and walked toward
him.“Captain Bennett, aren’t we going to meet at the cafe? Why did you come over?”“I’m an impatient person. I feel bored sitting
there alone, so I came over,” Christopher explained casually. “Let’s go.”“Why don’t you cancel the reservation for that room at the
cafe? We can just discuss things here while we stroll around instead of going there.” Winnie did not want to travel here and
there.“No way. It’s me who asked you out. How can I not even let you have a drink?”“That’s so generous of you, Captain
Bennett. If you really want to treat me to something, just buy me ice cream later. There’s a dessert shop in this residential area,
and the ice cream tastes really good.”“That sounds great. I’m glad it’s just in your residential area, lest you need to rush back
here again.”The two walked tens of meters westward, and they came to a dessert shop.Winnie ordered matcha-flavored ice
cream, while Christopher only ordered a bottle of lemonade.Winnie took one step ahead to pay before Christopher could do
so.This made Christopher a little embarrassed. However, he did not insist while they were in the shop.After leaving the shop,
Christopher said, “Why did you pay for it just now? It’s supposed to be my treat.”“It’s okay, Captain Bennett. You let me go that
day and even took me to your house to have pasta. I think it’s my turn to treat you to something. Can we be a little more casual?
We’re friends, Captain Bennett.”“Then you should stop calling me Captain Bennett.”“How should I address you, then?”“Lucas
and the others call me by my name, so you can do it, too.”Winnie nodded and took a bite of the ice cream. “Okay, Christopher.
Has anyone told you that you have a really nice name?”Christopher was a little touched. His name sounded so pleasant when
said by the woman he loved. He never once thought he had a nice name, as he always felt that it was too common.“You have a
pretty name too.” Winnie carried the meaning of happiness. It was just like the happiness he felt when he met her three years
ago.“Thank you.”The two then walked side by side when a black Mercedes-Benz suddenly drove by.At first, the man in the
Mercedes-Benz noticed nothing, but soon, as reaction kicked in, he found the two figures he had just passed by familiar.Hence,
he quickly rolled down the car window and glanced in the direction of the two.However, his car moved too fast, and the two had
also turned into a corner, disappearing from his sight.In the meantime, Winnie asked Christopher, “By the way, you said you have
something important to tell me. What is it?”Before Christopher could speak, Winnie’s phone rang.Winnie picked up the phone
and frowned instantly. After only a short moment, she ended the call.“Thank you, but I don’t need that. Bye!”Hearing that,
Christopher immediately understood. “A sales call?” he queried.“Yes. It’s strange, though. I’ve installed a call blocker app.
Usually, the spam calls can’t get in. How did the person do it?” Winnie was puzzled. As soon as she finished speaking, she
received another call from an unknown number.“It must be some sales call again. I guess my blocker app has been disabled.”
Winnie immediately blocked the unknown number and muted her phone.“It’s muted now. Let’s continue.”With a nod, Christopher
uttered thoughtfully, “If you don’t mind, I’ll take a look at it for you later. My colleague from the information department has taught
me how to filter this kind of spam call.”“Sure. Let’s talk business first.”“Right. I came to tell you I met Yulissa earlier, and she gave
me a lot of useful information.”“What? Did you just say you met her and not arrested her?” Winnie frowned.“Yes. I met her

outside, and I didn’t arrest her.”“Why?” Winnie was confused. “There’s no way she would willingly give you useful information. Is
she really trying to turn over a new leaf now?”“I think it’s because of her grandfather. She knows that her effort alone is too
insignificant, and she needs the help of the police. But this is what we police should do. You don’t have to worry about that.”“Fair
point. She mentioned me, didn’t she? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to meet me, right?”“That’s right. I know she had the
intention of pushing you down the hill previously, so I’m worried that she’ll hurt you. From what I gather, I think she wants to steal
Xavier from you. I’m afraid she’ll do something irrational.”“She wants to steal Xavier from me?” Winnie smiled. “Does she think
she really has a chance to do so? Look at what he did to Xavier! She’ll never get to redeem herself, no matter what she does. It’d
take Xavier to lose his mind to get back together with her.”“Are you... really that confident with Xavier?” Suddenly, Christopher
felt a little miserable.To be honest, he had considered it too when Yulissa made that suggestion.However, he did not want to use
this kind of method to get her. She had already said Xavier had not passed her test yet, anyway.He would rather wait for the
outcome of the test.If Xavier failed, he would take a big move to approach her. If he passed, then Christopher would give his
blessing, too.“This is not about confidence. It’s because Yulissa overestimates herself! Unless Xavier has Stockholm syndrome
and falls in love with someone who tried to kill him, I think the possibility of this happening is almost zero.”However, Christopher
did not think so. “But Yulissa seems really determined. Besides—”“That’s called arrogance!” Winnie interjected, amused. Then,
she scooped another scoop of ice cream.Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.“Oh, right. Do you know where Yulissa
lives now? Since you have to keep in touch with her now, I guess you should know.”Christopher nodded. “Yeah, she told me, and
I’ve written it down. Let me find it for you.”As he spoke, he started searching for a memo on his phone. “Here.”Staring at the
address, Winnie frowned instinctively.This... is the same exact location Xavier sent to me minutes ago. So he has been at
Yulissa’s place since last night.
