The Billionaire's Genius Wife

501 Departure Day

Not long after, their car arrived at the private airport owned by the royal family.

Scarlett was surprised to see that the jet was different from what she usually used. She noticed an M Kindong sign on the jet’s body.

“I thought we would use your jet, Xander?” She glanced at him.

“I have prepared the jet you will use, but your father called me yesterday. He said he would use his,” Xander smiled faintly. “I can’t refuse him. Maybe this is part of his safety, so I agreed.”

“I see,” Scarlett said, but she didn’t like this idea. “I hope he keeps a low profile in Norway. I don’t want our arrival to attract attention from people we don’t want.”

This is why Scarlett is worried about bringing her father on this trip because her father’s status will attract much attention. Many evil thoughts were going on in her head, and she just wanted to avoid them all.

“No worries. I already told him that he can’t use his royal status in Norway,” Xander had already explained to Roland the reason Scarlett wanted to keep a low profile.

“Thank you,” Scarlett smiled. She felt grateful that her husband started understanding her thoughts so much.

Then, Scarlett turned to look outside. Only then did she notice Simon and Maggie standing before the plane. “Why did they come too?”

Scarlett immediately followed Xander out of the car and approached them.

Logan, who had come down before them, immediately took out their suitcases and handed them to the crew in the cabin, waiting for their arrival and tailing Scarlett and Xander.

…

“Baby, you are the only person who can make the king of this kingdom wait for almost an hour,” said Xander as he walked Scarlett towards Simon and Maggie.

Scarlett almost tripped upon hearing his words. He was indeed correct. She could imagine the royal guard might punish her if she were a commoner.

“Gosh! I feel bad now for making him wait for me. I hope my brother won’t scold me—” She said softly.

“He won’t dare. Did you know that your beloved brother is afraid of me?” Xander said while holding her hand and squeezing it gently.

“Huh!? Really? Why?” Scarlett was surprised to hear that.

“I don’t know, but that’s what I heard from Alex,” Xander also didn’t know why Simon Gilwynn was afraid of him. At first, he didn’t believe it when Alex told him. But after a few times they met, he could feel that Simon did talk to him very politely, unlike when he spoke to Theodor.

“Maybe he didn’t like you?” Scarlett casually said while smiling at Xander.

“Well, I don’t care if he doesn’t like me. What am I afraid of if my pretty wife doesn’t like me…” Xander said while looking at her.

Scarlett couldn’t help but blush to hear his sweet words. She didn’t say anything but turned her gaze to Simon and Maggie.

“Brother Simon,” Scarlett greeted Simon cheerfully. “Don’t tell me you also want to come to Norway with us?” she playfully said.

“Hahaha, no, no… of course not,” Simon laughed. But when he saw Xander smiling coldly at him, his laughter gradually faded.

“Hello, brother-in-law…” Simon said.

“Hello,” Xander replied.

Scarlett silently laughed as she witnessed the way Simon acted before Xander. Now, she could understand what Xander had said earlier. Her older brother indeed felt intimidated by Xander. She didn’t know whether to feel happy or not about this one. .𝘤𝘰𝑚

“Little Sister, we just wanted to meet you before your flight,” Maggie explained. “—Maybe you don’t know about this rule, but our father can’t ride on the same plane as Brother Simon. This is the royal protocol.”

Scarlett nodded. She had heard about that rule. They worried that something might happen to the plane, leaving no royal successor.

“Thank you, Brother Simon, Sister Maggie…” Scarlett sincerely said. She was touched because they took their time to wait for her and send her off. “And sorry for making you wait—”

“It’s okay, little sister. We just arrived, too. So we didn’t wait that long,” Simon said.

“Sister, go find Aunty. Make sure you come back with her soon.” Maggie hugged Scarlett. If she didn’t have business here, she might follow them.

“Thank you, sis Maggie…”

“Little sister, go up now. Father is waiting for you,” Simon urges her. He knew his father was impatient to fly there to find Scarlett’s mother.

Scarlett didn’t wait any longer. She immediately said goodbye to Xander and buried her head into his chest while tightly hugging his waist.

“I love you, Mr. Riley… You must call me every hour, alright!?” She whispered.

“I will,” Xander loosened his hug. He leaned closer to her and kissed her lips. “Go, don’t make your father wait. And remember to call me when you arrive.”

“Hmm, goodbye…” Scarlett said, and then she looked at Simon and Maggie, smiling at them. She didn’t waste any more time and immediately boarded the plane.

Flying from Royal City to Oslo, Norway only takes two hours.

During the flight, Scarlett spent time chatting with her father. She found it amusing to see how excited he was. Afraid he would be disappointed, Scarlett had to remind her father many times not to expect too much because the results of this search were still unknown.

Scarlett expected to see Seven picking them up at the airport when they exited the plane.

She was overjoyed to see him after a long time.

However, Roland didn’t share her enthusiasm. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Seven, feeling slightly worried because his daughter was associated with the Fox. He suspected this man was one of the Fox members.

“Where is Rex?” Scarlett asked Seven, who was driving the car.

“He’s at the base camp,” Seven glanced at Scarlett and then at Roland Gilwynn beside her. “He will visit you at dinner…” He said while holding his laugh, looking at how Scarlett’s father looked annoyed at him.
