The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Just now, Xander wanted to talk about the money he would give her as his wife. However, this girl's personality still shocked him. It seemed she didn't like being given money or, was it because she was too independent?

She even returned the money he used to help Ocean Group, as he promised when this girl accepted his contract marriage offer. At that time she gave an excuse; she doesn't want to be in debt.

Since then, Xander always asked himself; why did this girl agree to accept his offer to marry him under a contract!? Even though she had the money to help her parents' company.

Kinda confusing!

But, whatever Scarlett's reasons for accepting his offer, Xander assumed that Scarlett fell in love with him the first time they spoke at the hospital. And, if what he thought was true, he would be very happy and blessed as a man.

'I'll have to ask her later!!' Xander made a note in the back of his mind, to ask Scarlett the next time they saw each other.

"Well, Babe... tell me, what were you doing there?" Xander changed the subject, not wanting her to sulk too long.

Instantly Scarlett smiled back. With her beaming eyes, she told Xander about her conversation with Aunt Martha. Still, after only a few seconds, his face looked sour. She could only chuckle inside to witness that.

What Aunt Marta said was true; Xander didn't really like her.

Just hearing Aunt Martha's name made Xander's mood drop to zero!

Gosh!  It seems like her homework will be a lot harder to get Xander to soften up to his stepmother.

"Xander..." Scarlett called him affectionately to make him cheerful like before. After she saw the smile in his eyes, she continued. "We have a problem!!"

"Huh!?" His smile disappeared and was replaced with a confused expression. "What problem?"

Scarlett immediately told him about Grandpa wanting to come with them to island B.

And what worried her the most, Grandpa would find out that until now, Xander had not met her father — Their contract marriage could be exposed. And that was something she didn't want to happen.

Xander didn't say a word immediately, but he looked like he was thinking about something. After a while, he finally said, "Don't worry! I'll take care of everything."

"You mean grandpa can still come with us!?" She was confused. If grandfather joins them on Island B, he would automatically meet her father simultaneously as Xander. And Grandpa would know right away that Xander had never met her father.

"Yes. But don't worry. I'll keep Grandpa busy the day after he arrives at the Island. And he will only meet your father before we return to the capital!" Xander chuckled, thinking of his grand plan to trap his grandpa.

'Why is that old man always curious about my business!?' Xander could only vent his anger inside.

"Xander, what do you want to do?" Scarlett was starting to feel worried about his plans. "I won't let you make grandpa suffer!" She glared at him, who appeared to be smiling mischievously.

Xander laughed, seeing his wife nervous but angry at the same time.

"Hahaha, baby, why are you looking at me like that!? Don't worry. He's my grandfather. I won't do anything dangerous to him. I plan to invite a few of his friends to accompany him on holiday at Island B as an impromptu reunion."

Scarlett was at a loss for words. This man is indeed creative.

"With his best friend there, I'm sure grandpa even forgot his purpose in going to B Island. And he probably returned to the capital without meeting your father!" He clapped his hands and laughed.

Scarlett, "..."

She didn't know whether to praise or scold him for making his grandfather forget to meet her father. Gosh!

"Fine! Do whatever you want, Xander! But now comes another problem!"

"Problem? Again!? What problem?" Xander's face turned stiff.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Well, my best friend, who just arrived in this country, wanted to meet you. And..." Scarlett suddenly stopped. She was reluctant to tell him about Tyler. She wanted to surprise him.

"And what?"

"Never mind! Let's talk about it when you get back!" She lifted her lips teasingly.

Xander was utterly speechless. Now, he was curious to know her following words.

"What is it!? Are you trying to take revenge on me, babe?"

Scarlett held back her laughter, ignoring him.

"Wow! I just found out my little wife is a vengeful little lady, huh!?" Xander chuckled as he shook his head in defeat.

She smiled mischievously before saying, "When are you coming back?"

"Confidential! I won't tell you, babe!" Xander shook his head. "I will give you the biggest surprise. Just get ready, Ms. Riley! Because when I come back, I will consume you!"

Scarlett's cheeks instantly flushed when she saw the glint of lust in his eyes. She swallowed hard to moist her suddenly dry throat as her body temperature rose as if someone had set a bonfire inside her.

"Why are your cheeks blushing, babe?" Xander teases her after he sees Scarlett hiding her face under her hands. "Ms. Riley, are you imagining what we're going to do?"

Scarlett felt like she wanted to end this video call immediately. This man, increasingly unable to control himself, not to tease her.

Gosh!

After a while, Scarlett slowly raised her head and looked at her laptop screen again, "Xander, stop teasing me."

"I'm not teasing you, baby. But I'm just reminding you. I'm afraid you'll forget!"

"I, I didn't forget. I..." Scarlett's words suddenly disappeared from her mind. She was utterly speechless. "I'm sleepy. It's almost 11 pm here..." In the end, she could only say that.

Scarlett couldn't think straight. Her mind was filled with fantasies about their wedding night, and she was a little shy to think about it. She couldn't help but blush.

"It's only eleven. Are you sure?"

"Yes!!"

"Okay!" Xander chuckled. He decided to stop teasing her, or she would get angry. "Sleep now and dream about me, babe!"

Scarlett, "..."
