The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Rosewood Apartment.

Rex Morrison was standing by the wide glass window in the penthouse of the Rosewood Apartments located on the main street of Royal City. His gaze was fixed on the road below as he engaged in a telephone conversation.

“I happen to be in this city for work,” Rex lies. “…If you have the time, we can meet up,” His tone sounds calm.

“Well, it doesn’t matter to me. Even if you finish filming in the middle of the night, I’ll come to your place if you want to meet me,” he paused, listening intently to the person on the other end of the line.

After a moment, a smile flashes across his face as he says, “Alright, send me the address. I’ll give you a call later when I arrive. Bye, see you soon, Casey!”

Even after five minutes had passed, Rex continued to stare at his cellphone screen, a broad smile adorning his face, making him look like a fool’s teenager.

He couldn’t help but feel foolish at himself for the past few days.

His mind seemed to betray him. Whenever it came to Casey Adams, he found himself acting against his own will.

How strange!

“What the hell, Rex Morrison!” He placed his cell phone in his pocket and shook his head, feeling foolish. “Are you falling for her now? Oh boy, seriously!?”

Rex couldn’t believe how fast his relationship with Casey Adams was progressing. It had only been a month since he decided to give her a chance, yet his thoughts were consumed by her every single day.

Last week, he mustered the courage to fly here to meet her, but he had canceled his plans several times. He was afraid to embark on a serious relationship with Casey, fearful that he would disappoint her.

Rex knows that Casey was aware of his feelings for Scarlett, but Casey strangely never complained or showed any signs of jealousy toward Scarlett. This made him hesitant to pursue a real relationship with Casey, worried that he wouldn’t be able to make her happy.

However, yesterday, when he heard the news of Scarlett’s pregnancy, something stir inside him. He needed to come to this city and meet Casey to let her know he was ready to open his heart to her.

It was the best decision for him and Scarlett.

He was always confident that Scarlett had never seen him as a romantic partner but only as an older brother. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t change her perception.

Knowing that Scarlett would soon have a child with the man she deeply loved made Rex even more aware that it was time for him to move on and find his happiness.

“You’ve made a great decision, Rex Morrison!” He sighed deeply, feeling a newfound light in his heart. “You did a great job, Rex!!” he patted his chest lightly.

…

Shortly after, Rex’s cell phone vibrated, alerting him to a text message from Casey. She provided him with the details of their meeting time.

His smile grew wider as he immediately made a call to his assistant. He must make preparations for a memorable first date with Casey tonight.

Having concluded his conversation with his assistant, Rex heard a doorbell ring.

He eagerly walked toward the door, knowing that the person he had been waiting for since his arrival in the country had finally come. Opening the door, he was greeted by a tall man with ginger-red hair.

“Please come in,” Rex said calmly, walking back inside without paying much attention to the man.

Theodor couldn’t help but inwardly chuckle as he followed Rex into the apartment. .

“Nice to meet you too, Rex Morrison,” Theodor chirped, despite receiving a rather chilly welcome.

Rex remained silent, his gaze fixed on Theodor as he settled into the chair opposite him.

Theodor, sensing the tension, attempted to lighten the atmosphere. “Do you like this place, Rex? I’ve arranged the best penthouse I could for you,” he said with an awkward smile, hoping to make this man talk nicely to him.

Rex’s response was sharp and curt. “We’re not close enough for a casual conversation like that, Theodor Parker!” He snapped, causing Theodor to press his lips together, refraining from further comments.

Theodor couldn’t help but feel that he was facing a male version of Scarlett, someone whose emotions were constantly in flux whenever they interacted.

‘Hell! Why do these two always manage to get on my nerves!?’ Theodor thought desperately.

Seeing Theodor remain silent, Rex continued in his icy tone, “Did you do what I asked?”

Theodor straightened up, his tone becoming serious as he spoke. “I do,” he replied, devoid of any earlier jesting. “But I didn’t take the test myself,” he continued.

Rex was confused hearing his answer. “Then, who did you take the test with?” he asked, trying to make sense of Theodor’s response.

From the beginning, Rex had noticed a resemblance between Scarlett and Theodor. He had suspected that they might be related by blood, which prompted him to urge Theodor to take the test.

Initially, Rex hadn’t been overly interested in delving into their relationship. However, upon confirming that Scarlett’s mother had a special connection to Country M and it was difficult to trace her trail, he decided to take a detour in his investigation, starting with Scarlett’s father.

Rex decides to follow his instincts. Over the past month, he had discussed this matter with Theodor, who also believed the same. Theodor had noticed the striking resemblance and suspected their possible relation.

‘But why did this foolish brat suddenly change the person for the DNA test? Why didn’t he take it?’ Rex was perplexed. He narrowed his eyes at Theodor, furrowing his brow.

“I conducted the DNA test with the person who bears the closest resemblance to Scarlett,” Theodor said in a hushed tone, as if afraid to talk about the person.

“You mean there is another person who strongly resembles her?” Rex felt a surge of anticipation. He was eager to know more.
