The Billionaire's Genius Wife

The next morning.

Before the first rays of sunlight came into the room, Scarlett was awakened by the sound of a timer she had set on her cell phone. She immediately turned it off. And looking around her.

She pondered for a moment as her consciousness had not fully returned. It took her a few seconds to realize she was in the Riley Mansion.

Her mind reels back, remembering what happened last night.

‘Xander…’

Scarlett called his name in her heart. As she slowly turned to see her side. Her breath seemed to stop as she saw Xander, the god-like man staring at her.

Not only was this man just staring at her, but his gaze seemed to warm her heart. And his smile made her heart tremble. This was the best alluring smile she had ever seen.

She silently swallowed as she spoiled her eyes on this beauty, a god’s perfect creation.

Suddenly Scarlett’s body stiffened as something crucial crossed her mind.

Gosh!

Immediately Scarlett turned away from Xander’s gaze and sat on the edge of the bed with her back to him. She tried to save her last dignity from shame.

How could she appear in front of Xander with her messy appearance!?

She tied her lion-like hair into a bun. And pressing her cheeks with her palms so that her puffy face would vanish instantly. She could feel her face swelling because she overate last night.

“Good morning, sleeping beauty…” Greeted Xander in a cheerful tone.

Xander couldn’t believe how this girl could sleep so comfortably all night. While he… He couldn’t sleep at all. Throughout the night, his heart never settled, and certain body parts of him really tormented him.

Ultimately, he could only go back and forth to the bathroom to take a cold shower to drown out the nameless fire inside him.

This little girl was torturing him. She slept like a koala, hugging him, not knowing she was provoking a beast!

His patience was really tested overnight. Thanks to heaven, he was able to restrain himself from touching her.

Despite the long torturous night, he loved it. Hoping that one day, there will be another chance to sleep with this little girl.

Xander could only let out a smile looking at the girl, turning her back on him.

Seeing her petite body wrapped in her oversized jumper satisfied his heart. Not only that but seeing her natural beauty without makeup made him sure that this girl was gorgeous. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

“…morning Xander,” Scarlett answered briefly, too embarrassed to entertain Xander to see her bare face and see her messy hair.

She immediately stood up and walked to the bathroom without glancing at Xander. She took the shopping bag Xander gave her last night and slammed the bathroom door behind her.

Only then could she breathe a sigh of relief. “Gosh! That’s really embarrassing!”

After a while…

They were both in the house’s front yard, standing beside the black SUV.

Scarlett felt troubled, having to leave without saying goodbye to Old Riley. What if the old man found it impolite? This worried her a lot.

Xander tried to calm her down.

Likewise, with Alvin. He escorts her to the main entrance and promises to explain to the old master about her situation. Moreover, the kind butler even gave her a pack of breakfast and made sure she ate it on the plane. She felt warm inside, seeing how good Xander and Alvin were to her.

She felt ashamed because she had considered her relationship with Xander to be only a marriage for her benefit. But since last night, her views have begun to change. She felt that this was not just a marriage for her benefit, but this marriage was starting to feel real, at least for her. She didn’t know how Xander felt.

“Xander, please convey my apologies to Grandpa,” Scarlett said again. She had forgotten how often she had said this since she woke up.

“Don’t worry, I will explain to him. That old man will understand. Just go and be careful! Call me if you need anything.” Xander said while patting her head gently. “Promise me, Scarlett!?”

“Yes, I will call you…”

After sleeping in the same room as Xander, Scarlett was much more comfortable around him. And she started to feel greedy with Xander’s small gestures like patting her head — she likes it when he does that.

After a brief chat, Scarlett immediately got into the car with Logan sitting behind the wheel. They headed to the private airport, and at the same time, the sun started to rise over the horizon.

Xander is very efficient, setting up his private jet to take Scarlett to island B. She has no intention of staying on the island for long, so the plane will wait for her and return to the capital the same day.

Once they were on the highway, Scarlett glanced at Logan. A genuine smile was on her face before she said, “Logan, sorry to wake you up so early to drive me to the airport…”

“This is my job, ma’am. And are you sure I don’t have to come with you to the island?” Logan is still surprised to learn that Scarlett will go to the island without him.

Logan knows how evil her family is, especially her stepmother. Worried that woman might do something bad to her again. However, this order came from his master. He could only follow this arrangement.

“Thanks, Logan. I won’t be there long, so it wouldn’t be efficient for you to follow me.”

She prefers to go alone and solve her family business. Besides, she felt embarrassed if Xander had to meet her terrible family.

“Ma’am, someone will pick you up at the airport at B island. He will take you wherever you want…” Logan explains what they arranged for her during her short trip to the island.

“Oh, Xander arranged that too?” Scarlett gets emotional hearing it. How nice Xander was to her made her fall with him even more.
