The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Waiting for Xander and Rex in the house, Scarlett paced back and forth, watching them through the window. She couldn't rest easy leaving these two men alone. Afraid they will hurt each other.

"Young miss?" Scarlett flinched when she heard Lana's voice from behind. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Lana.

"What are you doing here?" Lana continued her words while approaching Scarlett. She saw a line of sight Scarlett had seen before and was surprised to see Xander and another man sitting on a lawn chair.

"And why are you here? Everything okay in the kitchen?" Scarlett was surprised to see Lana looking relaxed — almost time for dinner.

"I've been cooking for over a decade, don't worry about me, young miss. Everything is under control!" Lana smiled proudly and was greeted with a smile by Scarlett.

"...And, why don't you join them?" Ask Lana again. She could see that Scarlett was worried about something.

Scarlett looked at Xander and Rex again. She said without looking at Lana, "They want to talk about something, and they force me to leave..."

"Young miss, that man is the young master you used to talk about when you lived in the US, right?" Lana asked.

Lana still remembers the past, her young miss always talking about the handsome Rex whenever they talk on the phone. And, after learning that Rex and his grandfather would have dinner at this house, she wanted to catch a glimpse of Rex's figure that she usually only heard about on the phone.

"Hmm. That man is Rex Morrison. Do you remember I told you that his parents consider me their daughter, right?  They adopted me..." She chuckled as she remembered that time.

"I remember! That's why I want to see him in person. Is he as handsome as you say?" Lana smiled at Scarlett.

Scarlett could only smile at Lana's words. She didn't say anything else. She just looked at Xander and Rex, who were still talking outside.

However, the curiosity that arose in her heart was challenging. She wanted to go out and hear them, but remembering Rex's previous serious expression kept her from doing so. She tries her best to hold back her curiosity. Just waiting! Even though a minute seemed like an hour.

...

After a few minutes passed, she finally saw Xander standing from his seat, followed by Rex. And they walked towards the house.

Scarlett could see how calm their expressions were enough to relieve her.

"Oh my god! Y-Young miss... Young Master Rex is so handsome!!" Lana screamed while covering her mouth, too shocked by what she saw. Two god-like men are now walking towards the house; Young master Xander is handsome with a warm spring-like aura. While young Master Rex was gorgeous with a chill-like winter.

Scarlett, "..."

"...B-But, don't worry, young miss, Mr. Xander is more handsome than Young Master Rex." Lana grinned when she saw Scarlett roll her eyes.

Lana continued, "Young Miss, I will return to the kitchen." She walked like running towards the kitchen, afraid that two men might see her — she was now blushing like a boiled crab,  too happy to have just fed her eyes with beauty.

Scarlett chuckled, watching Lana run away before she could say something. Gosh!

'Geez, Aunt Lana, if Uncle Adams finds out you have a crush on Rex, he'll be mad...' Scarlett shook her head and waited patiently for Xander near the back door.

Shortly after,

Scarlett's eyes did not move from the door. As soon as she saw Xander walk in with a smile framing his handsome face, Scarlett couldn't help but smile happily.

She walked quickly towards him and threw her body into his arms. She wrapped her hand around him and lifted her face to meet his gentle eyes. Instantly, many questions left her lips, "Xander, are you okay? What are you guys talking about? What's taking you so long?"

Xander didn't rush to answer her. Instead, he sandwiched her warm cheeks with his hands as he leaned in to kiss her right on her warm lips.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Scarlett's heart couldn't help but start beating faster. At the same time, she could feel Rex's sharp eyes staring at them as if he wanted to make holes in her brain.

Rex sighed silently.

'Scarlett Piers, you promised not to show your PDA, but you failed to keep your word! You heartless girl!!' Rex could only scold her in his heart while walking quickly into the living room.

...

"I'm fine! Don't worry too much, babe!" Xander said after their lips parted, and he wrapped his arms around her too. "Well, sorry I couldn't tell you what we were talking about. Because it's a man's secret!" A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

Scarlett was at a loss for words seeing this man playing secrets with her.

"Well, looks like I'll be sleeping alone tonight. Someone decided to sleep on the couch!" Scarlett said teasingly, but her words were enough to make Xander's face turn pale.

Suddenly Walter Riley's words crossed Xander's mind "...You will sleep on the couch if you never let your ego down!!"

'Fuck! I'm in doom!!' Xander couldn't help but curse himself inwardly. He explained quickly, worrying that he would sleep on the couch tonight.

"B-Baby... We didn't say anything important. Rex just apologized to me..." Her eyes widened in shock at his words. He continued, "...and don't worry, I've forgiven him. Now, we've made up. There are no more fights between us!"

Scarlett, who heard Xander's explanation, gasped. "Xander, you're serious, right?"

"Hmm! You can ask Rex if you don't believe me..." Xander said while glancing to find Rex, but to his surprise, he couldn't see Rex there. Where is he? Is he running?

"B-Brother..." Scarlett immediately turned around to look at Rex but saw nothing. "Huh!? Where's Rex? Wasn't he there just now?" she asked, confused.

"I think he's already inside. Babe, let's join the others. Looks like dinner will start soon!"

Scarlett didn't say anything else — she smiled broadly happily — finally, the two men who were important to her had fixed their friendship.
