The Billionaire's Genius Wife

"Perfect!!!" The photographer was finally satisfied. Several times the sound of camera shots echoed in the room, followed by his loud shout of satisfaction, "Yes! Great. Great. Smile. Yes. Yes... this is perfect. Wow!! You're both so beautiful in one frame…."

Scarlett was utterly speechless at how excited the photographer was. In her entire life, this was the first time she had met someone who was too happy to take someone's picture — like someone who just won a million $ lottery.

She thought this photographer would take a few photos of them. However, the photo session continued. Even the photographer asked Xander to put his hands on her waist.

She felt her heart tighten when she saw Xander's hand on her waist. No one could describe her feeling at this moment; she was flustered, but at the same time, she felt a foreign feeling stirring in her heart.

Slowly she raised her head, looking at Xander's face. She could see. He looked calm, like what he was doing now was casual. She can't help but ask, "Xander, is this necessary? Why did the photographer ask you to hug me?" She whispers.

When Xander looked into her eyes, she felt nervous. This was their second close contact — his hands were still casually resting on her waist, and his face leaned closer to her. Too close until she could see her reflection in his bright deep eyes.

Suddenly she can feel her body turn into a statue, unable to move as Xander's head gets closer to hers. It was as if this man wanted to kiss her—or was it just her wishful thinking!?

She couldn't tell the difference!

"I don't know either. It's my first time getting married, so you're asking the wrong person!" Xander casually said while tightening his grip on her waist.

Scarlett didn't know what else to say. Because this man was right, she asked the wrong person. Now, she regrets not doing her research before coming to this place.

She gave a low sigh as she turned her gaze to the photographer.

"Why do you look depressed? You don't like it when I hug you like this?"

Scarlett was surprised to hear that, so she looked at him again. "It's not..." she paused, thinking of the right words to reply. Afraid that this man would twist her words again. "I just feel weird about the Photographer!"

"Ignore him. And you have to smile. Remember, we are husband and wife." Xander pulled her closer to his body.

When he saw her gasp, he continued, "Mrs. Riley, it's clear on your face that you don't like me. They might not even take out our marriage certificate if you keep pointing it out." He looked serious as he said this. But inside, he was laughing. He was actually asking the photographer to take more photos of them.

Scarlett was surprised to hear that. What Xander said made sense. She calmed herself in Xander's arms.

She smiled as she looked ahead, trying to ease her mind, to get rid of the awkwardness between them. She will try hard to feel comfortable around Xander. Even if it's not easy because she's the type of woman who doesn't get close to people quickly, especially men.

While Xander and Scarlett are in a photo session.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom In the corner of the room, Ben and Logan stood staring at the newlyweds taking pictures. Their minds are busy with their own fantasies.

"Bro, do you notice? Master was unlike his usual self. It's the first time I've seen him being so patient with a woman." Logan finally speaks after he is lost in his own thoughts.

"Indeed. Master Xander seems to be a lot softer now." Ben said.

"Yes. Our free day has finally come, bro!! Master will lessen us with work. He will stick to his wife." Logan is overjoyed. Their master will not torture them with work — he is a workaholic.

"I hope so." Ben doubted it. He knows Xander Riley so well. That gentleman will never change because of women. He had worked for him too long not to understand his master nature to the bone.

"Bro, do you know why our master married Miss Scarlett so soon?" Logan asked. This was the big question that had been bothering him since yesterday.

"Nope."

Logan leaned closer to Ben. "I guess, I know…."

Ben frowns, confused with Logan.

"I think Miss Scarlet is pregnant?" Logan continues to whisper.

"Nonsense!! Don't spread rumors, or else you will get your punishment." Ben glares at Logan.

Logan nearly choked. "B-Brother, I was just saying, alright! Well, I'm curious. They just met yesterday and decided to get married today. This is weird, right?"

"Maybe Master Xander fell in love with her at first sight." Ben was also curious. He even tried to ask his master, but he didn't say anything. He scolded him instead.

"I guarantee there will be no love between them. When we headed here, Miss Scarlett was too cold to master. I guess they fought!" He still remembered how the two of them interacted in the car.

Ben sneered at Logan. "Dude, you didn't witness when Master Xander was scared when Miss Scarlett had a fever?" he faintly smiled.

And that night was the first time Ben saw how considerate his master was for others. He didn't even sleep all night to accompany Miss Scarlett, who was sick. If his master didn't like Miss Scarlett, why should he do that?

"Huh!? What happened that night?" Logan doesn't know about it. He only heard Miss Scarlett had a fever, but that night Master Xander didn't assign him to go to their room.

Ben didn't answer Logan. He ignores him as he looks at Xander and Scarlett. He saw they had just finished signing the document.

"Master, Miss Scarlett, congratulations on your wedding." Ben walked towards them.

Xander frowned at Ben, "Call her properly!"

Ben's steps stopped. He nodded quickly and looked at Scarlett respectfully, "Young madam, congratulations."

Scarlett, "..."

There was satisfaction in Xander's eyes hearing the way Ben called Scarlett. He stood up from his chair, "You take care here. I'm leaving now."

Ben immediately instructs Logan to take Xander to his meeting location — he will stay here to collect their paperwork.
