The Billionaire's Genius Wife

The next day.

A glint of light in the room dazzled Scarlett's eyes as soon as she opened her eyes. Reflexed, she closed her eyes again.

After a while...

She slowly opened it, even though she had to blink a few times.

Further, her head hurt so badly that it felt like she had just woken up after drinking three bottles of wine all night. She forced herself to sit on the side of the bed while massaging her head with her hands, hoping this pain would vanish.

At the same time, her mind reels back to what happened last night. The last thing she remembers is Xander dropping her back at the hotel, after which she forgets everything.

'Gosh! Looks like I fell asleep...' Scarlett only smiled bitterly, realizing she was still wearing yesterday's clothes.

After a few minutes of massaging her head, she could feel it better. She tied her hair into a messy bun. But after she looked at the clock on the nightstand, another wave of shock hit her.

Already 10 AM!

"How could I sleep this long!?" Scarlett took a deep breath as she stood up from the bed. She walked outside to find Xander. But she couldn't find him.

Scarlett decided to take a shower. She couldn't bear to feel her body uncomfortable. And suddenly, her eyes hurt. Only then did she remember something.

She slapped her forehead for forgetting something important — removing her contact lens before going to bed.

Standing in front of the mirror, she was shocked to see her bloodshot eyes. She hastily removed her contact lens. It was very uncomfortable.

"Gosh! I had to tell Xander not to let me sleep while wearing my lenses, or my eyes would hurt!" Scarlett muttered and quickly took a shower.

A few minutes later...

Scarlett came out of the bathroom still in her bathrobe with her hair wrapped in a white towel.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Good morning, baby!!"

Scarlett cringed when she heard Xander greet her as soon as she exited the bathroom.

Her eyes were mesmerized looking at how dashing he was in his casual attire; black shirt to match the pants. Seeing her husband wearing a dark color, she saw his body seemed slimmer, and his mysterious aura grew even more potent.

"Gosh, Xander... You startled me! Where have you been? I was looking for you..." she said and walked towards the wardrobe — she was planning to meet Grandpa Morrison. She chose a simple, pale green knee-length dress.

"I'm in my office room. Baby, I ordered your breakfast! Hurry... change your clothes." Xander said excitedly.

Scarlett seemed reluctant to do so. She looked at Xander in confusion before saying, "Xander, can you look in that direction?" She pointed to the seating area across from where they were standing.

"Huh!? Why?" He frowned.

"Because I want to wear my clothes..." She couldn't let this man see her naked. Or they will end up making love!

Xander's smile widened as he realized her meaning. He put his hands on her waist and pulled her into his arms. He satisfies his eyes, admiring her flushed face.

"Oh baby, you are still embarrassed to change your clothes in front of your husband?"

Scarlett gasped in shock as this man pressed against her body. She could feel the blood rushing to her face.

She blinked a few times to meet his brilliant blue eyes before she could say, "W-Well… I'm not shy. But, can you handle your little brother down there if you see me naked?"

This time Scarlett was really embarrassed after saying those vulgar words. She gritted her teeth secretly, not wanting to say anything more, afraid she would say something naughty to Xander.

Xander felt as if all his blood was surging into a specific place below his abs when he realized what she meant. This girl was right. He still couldn't hold his lust when he saw her naked sexy body — They were young, in love, and still newlyweds!

But he couldn't do it now when they already had plans to go to the Morrisons' villa. He suppressed his desire!

"Baby, how do you doubt your husband?" He ruffled her hair before continuing, "I'm not going to touch you now. I know how tired you are. Hurry up and put on your clothes..." He confidently said while trying to divert the dirty thoughts that had filled his mind.

"Oh!" Scarlett took off her bathrobe without hesitation and put on her underwear, then her dress.

When she finished changing, she realized Xander's face was turning red, like all the blood was rushing to his face.

"Why do you look like that, Xander!?"

"W-What do you mean??"

"Your face turned red!"

"Really?" When he saw his face in the mirror, he couldn't help but curse himself.

Xander cleared his throat before saying, "Ms. Riley, stop worrying about me. Now sit here. I'll help you dry your hair!" He made her sit before the dressing table and skillfully dried her hair with a hairdryer.

"Xander! Thank you..." Scarlett looked at Xander through the mirror in front of her. When their eyes met, she smiled.

"Thanks? For what?"

"For everything! I feel so spoiled. How could someone like you, Riley Group CEO, one of the biggest companies in the world, treat me like I'm your princess? You dry my hair, sometimes help me wash, and cook for me..." Scarlett felt touched every day by his kindness.

Xander didn't say anything. He just smiled back at her.

"Don't spoil me too much, Xander! Or I will fall DEEP into your honey trap!!"

Xander stops the hair dryer, but only for a moment. He suddenly laughed before saying, "So did I lure you into my pool of honey?"

"Hmm!!! You do it every day!" She glared at him. "And now I feel I'm in trouble because I love you more and more every day..."

"You should!" Xander stopped the hairdryer again.

Then leaned his head and quickly sealed her lips to taste her sweetness. After a few seconds, their lips parted. He kissed her forehead and dried her hair again as if nothing had happened.

Scarlett was speechless.
