Silly Bride

Chapter 20

Winnie halted subconsciously and started to back away from the bathroom.

As Josiah‘s voice rang out from the other end of the line, the sound of rushing water stopped.

As it turned out, Xavier had already dialed Josiah‘s number before entering the bathroom. It was just th at the call was only picked up then.

Because the phone was in speaker mode, Josiah‘s voice sounded loud. “What‘s the matter, Xavier? W hy are you calling me at such an hour? Don‘t you need to accompany Winnie?”

Xavier‘s tone was filled with impatience when he said, “I need you here right now. I‘ve been drugged.”

Stunned, Josiah spluttered, “W– What? Drugged? What have you been drugged with? Was it some kind of aphrodisiac?”

Xavier couldn‘t be bothered to explain the whole story to him, so he said, “Yes! So come over right this i nstant!”

“All right, all right! I‘ll be there right away! If you really can‘t hold it in, dunk yourself in cold water to calm yourself. Wait for me!”

The call was hung up after that. Soon after, the sound of rushing water sounded again.

Winnie knew at once that Xavier was preparing a cold bath.

But the weather‘s so cold now! Not to mention his body‘s burning... Won‘t the extreme change in tempe rature damage his body? Is Josiah a quack doctor or something? Besides, there‘s a more direct and ea sier way to solve this...

At that thought, a smile tugged on Winnie‘s lips, and she stepped into the bathroom once more.

This time around, she pulled the glass door open and walked in without hesitation.

Upon seeing Winnie, Xavier stiffened. “What are you doing coming in here? Get out.”

Winnie widened her eyes to stare at him, her face full of innocence. “Handsome, why are you wearing pants while taking a bath? And why isn‘t there any steam coming from the water?”

Xavier did not expect that she would barge in like that after all the effort it took for him to refrain from touching her. He growled, “Get out now. Didn‘t anyone teach you not to come in when people are taking a bath?”

Winnie shook her head. “Nope. There were a lot of people too when Granny and I were taking a bath in the bathhouse. Granny even helped rub my back. Handsome, do you need me to help rub your back?”

As she spoke, she approached him.

“Oh, my God! The water‘s ice cold! You‘re going to get sick if you take a bath in that. Why don‘t I

put in some hot water for you?”

Winnie put on a clumsy act, taking down the shower head and spraying Xavier with water.

The warm water felt nice when it came into contact with Xavier‘s body. However, it also reignited the fir e within him.

His body stiffened yet again, and his rippling muscles were so beautiful that Winnie‘s eyes lit up.

Oh my. I would very much like to put my hands on that eight–pack of his!

She uttered, “Handsome, I‘ll help rub your back.”

The moment she touched his shoulder, Xavier felt the self– restraint he had been so proud of crumbling instantly.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed her wrist before choking out, “Dumbo, I don‘t need you to rub my back ! I‘m just feeling unwell right now. Do you understand?”

“Where are you feeling unwell? Let me help you.” |

Xavier raised his brow. “You want to help me? Will you still be so eager to help if I told you that I‘m goin g to devour you tonight?” |

Winnie cocked her head, looking curious. “How are you going to devour me? Are you going to nibble on my lips again like what you did earlier in the room?”

As she spoke, Xavier leaned in and captured her lips with his.

His heart was pounding erratically, and he was on the verge of letting his desire run free. “Are you reall y not scared?”

“Nope. I‘m a brave girl. I won‘t be scared even if there was a monster in front of me. If Handsome is sca red, I‘ll protect you.” Upon saying that, Winnie scoffed inwardly. Who‘s to say he‘s going to be the one d evouring me tonight? It just might be the other way around...

At the moment, Xavier was a hairbreadth away from losing himself. Every fiber of his being was scream ing at him to pull the woman before him into his embrace. “Then, do you know where the monster is at now?”

Winnie shook her head, but her gaze fell on his trousers for a moment.

He‘s... definitely in the mood.

She then said, “No. Where‘s the monster? Tell me, and I‘ll help you tame it!”

Her words were the spark needed to ignite Xavier‘s desire. Feeling his blood boiling, he stepped out of the cold bath and pinned Winnie against the wall.

“Dumbo, since you said so, you‘ll be the one to tame it, then!”

When Josiah finally arrived after rushing all the way, Xavier was almost done with his promise of

devouring Winnie whole.

Xavier and Winnie did not expect Josiah to come over so quickly.

Even Josiah himself was shocked by his timely visit. He could only blame it on his luck of being nearby the mansion that day.

After receiving a shot, Xavier was finally able to calm himself. However, his mind kept replaying the scen

The torn clothes, scratch marks, hickeys, and how Winnie used all her might to resist, but to no avail…

The tears that were streaming down her face as he entered her for the first time…

The sweet nothings that he whispered to her after the deed was done…

Every one of those scenes kept flashing through Xavier‘s mind, replaying again and again. He held his head and fell into a daze.

Seeing his friend in such a state, Josiah tapped lightly on Xavier‘s shoulder. “Xavier, are you okay?”

“How is she?” were the first words that came out of Xavier‘s mouth.

“She‘s asleep. She‘s a delicate woman, so the bruises look bad, but they‘ll go away after a few days. That being said, didn‘t I tell you that I‘ll be coming over right away and that you need to

“That‘s enough. I‘m well aware that this is my fault. Anyway, I have a question to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“To be honest, this isn‘t the first time I lusted over her. We all know that she has the mind of a five or six– year–old child, so does this mean that something‘s wrong with me?”

“Well…” Josiah mulled over his question. “If I‘m being frank, if it was another person in your shoes, I wou

Xavier replied, “Do you think I need to go and see a therapist?”

“That‘s not a bad idea, but I have another suggestion that‘s better than seeing a therapist.”

“What is it?”

“You could go and look for a normal woman.”

“No thanks. I‘m not interested.”

“Come on, don‘t be so quick to shoot my idea down. Do you remember the time when everyone thought felt something for her, didn‘t you? Besides, have you forgotten why you chose Ms. Winnie as your bride?

Xavier frowned. Yulissa, huh? Indeed, she was the only woman I had ever been attracted to. Even now, when I
