The Billionaire's Genius Wife

In the main bedroom,

Xander, who had just come out of the bathroom, felt his ears prickly as if someone was talking about him. He paused for a moment, wondering who had badmouthed him.

A moment later, he just shook his head and put on his casual home clothes; a black t-shirt and black training pants.

Before going to his study room, he suddenly remembered what he wanted to tell Scarlett about house rules.

He walked out of his room and stood in front of Scarlett's door. After knocking a few times, no movement could be heard from inside. He peeked through the slightly ajar door but saw no one inside.

"Scarlett? Are you inside?" Xander asked. He waited for a while, but still, Scarlett did not appear.

"Is she sleeping on the couch?"

He couldn't see the seating area from where he was standing now. After the incident on B island, the girl suddenly fell ill. Somehow he feels worried.

Now he hesitated. Should he enter without the woman's permission, or will he need one?

After pondering for a while, he decided to enter.

'Woman! Don't blame me if I trespass. Who told you not to lock your bedroom door!? Well, I want to check your condition...'

He made excuses to himself before he entered. However, he did not see Scarlett in the room, not even on the couch. He only saw her two suitcases lying near the bathroom.

'She's in the bathroom?'

Xander strolled towards the bathroom and tried to hear the sound from inside. He listened to a faint hum from inside — Scarlett was singing.

A faint smile appeared from the corner of his lips.

He decided to wait for her in the living room. But, before he could go through the door, he heard the phone ring from the bed. He stopped in his tracks. He wondered whether to see who was calling her.

After a few seconds of thinking, he turned around and walked towards the bed.

He frowned when he saw 'Young Master Rex' appear on the cellphone screen.

Young Master Rex?

Who is he!?

Curiosity grew within him. Xander wanted to know this young master. Obviously, this 'Young Master Rex' isn't her co-worker.

"Hello!"

Xander cursed himself for crossing the line. But, now, he couldn't do anything. He had already picked up her phone. There is no other way but to satisfy his curiosity.

Who exactly is this 'Young Master Rex'?

Why did he call her now?

There was no answer from the other end, not even a sound. He looked at the cellphone screen again to ensure the phone was still connected.

'Is this 'Young Master Rex' mute?' Xander wondered.

"If you don't talk. I'll hang up!" Xander said again. After a few seconds, no sound could be heard from the other end. He began to suspect that this man must be surprised to listen to a man's voice picking up Scarlett's cell phone.

"Who are you?" An icy tone finally sounded from the other end.

Xander was stunned. This man's voice made him tense — his deep yet commanding voice made him even more curious about who this man was.

"I'm her husband. Who are you?"

Xander was shocked to hear his own words. He's going crazy!! Definitely crazy. How could he openly say his status to Scarlett's friend casually!?

'Beep!'

The phone connection ended instantly.

"What the hell!! Did he hang up? Who's he? Is Rex her boyfriend?" Xander muttered. "No! Scarlett couldn't possibly have a lover. If she had a lover, she definitely wouldn't agree to have a contract marriage with me, right?"

Feeling irked, Xander typed something on Scarlett's cell phone, after which he put it back on the bed and left the room. His face darkened as he entered his study room.

Not long after, Scarlett came out of the bathroom wearing an oversized black hoodie and tight black pants. She sat at the study table at the far end of the room.

Before taking a nap, she wanted to check her office email, which she had not done for a long time. She also needed to make a video call to her office in Los Angeles. She wanted to ask her trusted people to move to this city temporarily since their office had been renovated.

But before opening her email, she heard a 'ding' sound from her cell phone. After finding her phone on the bed, she checked the messages and was stunned.

[Unknown:] This is my cell phone number. Please, come out now. I need to talk to you - X

"Xander? I finally got your number, babe!" She murmurs while shaking her head, trying to dispel her wild fantasy.

A few moments later…

Xander was stunned when he saw Scarlett coming out of her room.

'Has this girl lost her mind? Why does she wear sunglasses indoors and cover her hair?'

The only thing Xander could see was her forehead and cherry lips.

"Do you wear clothes like this at home?" Xander finally asked her after she sat across from him.

This girl really insulted her beauty. She has a pretty face and a sexy figure, but she hides it. She wore clothes that women usually avoided and were generally worn by men.

Xander really wants to take her to a stylist he knows. She can be taught how to dress appropriately to look elegant and not neglect her natural beauty.

"Huh!? Of course not…."

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Scarlett tightened her hood, worried some maids might see her hair.

"I use this because I'm afraid the maids will see me. You know what? I don't want anyone to see what I look like." She had washed her hair, and it would be troublesome to wear her wig again. She had no other way but to wear a hoodie to hide her hair.

'What a strange woman!' Xander still didn't understand her way of thinking. She looked weird.

"Why are you asking me to come out?" Scarlett asked while looking around her. Worried someone would come into this floor.
