The Billionaire's Genius Wife - 230 Another Guest?

Scarlett and Xander immediately went downstairs to meet the elders.

But she was surprised by what she saw in the living room. She looked at so many presents that Walter Riley brought to her house — a gift for meeting her father for the first time.

“Gosh!! Why does Grandpa bring so many gifts?” She inwardly mumbled while walking to join her father and Grandpa Riley. Xander followed behind without saying anything.

With a regretful expression, Scarlett greeted Walter Riley, “Grandpa, welcome to my house. Sorry I didn’t come down sooner…”

“It’s okay, girl!” Walter said as he gently patted Scarlett on the shoulder.

“Thank you, Grandpa! And grandpa, let me introduce you…” She glanced at her father, who seemed to hold back his laughter. “…and this is my father, Jonathan Piers.”

“My daughter, Scarlett…” Jonathan Piers ruffled the hair on top of her head while smiling at her. He says, “What are you doing in your room!? Why are you coming down just now? Father and Old Riley have talked a lot….”

Scarlett didn’t say anything else. Earlier, she was too immersed in talking to Rex about her mother and fell asleep afterward.

“It’s okay, Scarlett…” Walter could only smile, seeing this girl look so sorry.

“Alright, come sit down. Don’t keep Old Riley standing around too long,” said Jonathan Piers.

Later,

They all finally sat down.

Scarlett no longer interrupts Jonathan Piers and Walter Riley. She sat beside Xander, but her ears were focused on hearing what they were discussing.

The first thing she heard was Walter Riley was blaming Xander for only bringing him here today. He also promised Jonathan Piers that he would arrange a grand wedding party for Xander and Scarlett.

Hearing about the ‘grand wedding’ made Scarlett puzzled. She still remembers telling Xander she never wanted a lavish wedding.

Why did this old man suddenly want to arrange it? Does Xander know about it?

She shifted her gaze to Xander, but of course, this man didn’t seem to be paying attention to his grandfather’s words—his eyes were on her.

Scarlett couldn’t help but smile at him before asking, “Why does Grandpa bring so many gifts?”

This grandfather and grandson duo is the same. The first time Xander came here, he brought so many gifts too.

Xander slowly raised his hand and rubbed her cold cheek.

“Babe, take this as a gesture from a grandpa who loves and cares for you. He wants to give you and your dad the very best gift…”

Scarlett was surprised to hear that. “Me? Grandpa also brought me a present?”

“Of course! You can check later!” Xander chuckled when he saw Scarlett looking at the pile of gifts at the end of the room.

Scarlett had no idea what Walter Riley had brought for them because the gifts were all neatly wrapped in colorful boxes and tied with ribbons.

While Scarlett was talking to Xander, it wasn’t long before Adams entered the living room. He approached Jonathan Piers and whispered something that made Jonathan smile.

Jonathan hurriedly left the room towards the main door with Adams.

“Why did your father leave? Did you invite any other guests?” Xander could guess why Jonathan had rushed out — he would have welcomed another guest.

“Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Grandpa Patrick also comes to meet my dad and will be coming with Rex.  It seems they have arrived…” Scarlett said casually. However, her words were like thunder in Xander’s ears.

“Xander, look at me!” Scarlett tugged at Xander’s sleeve so he could see her.

When their eyes meet, she continues, “Don’t be jealous of him. I’ve explained to you many times there’s nothing between Rex and me. He’s just an older brother to me!”

“Don’t worry! I’m not a teenager!” He gently rubbed her back with a smile, “I was just surprised to know they are joining us. Come, let’s meet them…” He stood up from his seat and offered his hand to her.

Scarlett smiled and took his hand, but she spoke to Walter Riley before she left. “Grandpa, we’ll be right back!”

“Who’s coming?” asked Walter curiously.

“Grandpa Patrick and brother Rex.”

“They came too?” It was clear that Walter Riley’s expression was one of surprise. Precisely the same face that Xander had shown earlier.

Scarlett could only nod slowly. Then, she quickly followed Xander outside while holding hands. She was happy because Xander could now accept her relationship with the Morrison family.

When they both arrived at the main entrance, she saw her father talking to Grandpa Patrick. At the same time, Rex stood behind his grandfather like he was in his own world — don’t care about the surroundings.

However, as soon as Rex saw Scarlett, his expression changed from gloomy to bright. He smiled at her.

Scarlet, who witnessed that, could only shake her head while holding her laughter. She walked towards them.

“Grandpa Patrick, Brother Rex… Welcome!!” Scarlett was happy because the two people who most significantly impacted her life came to visit her house. It’s their first time visiting this house — In the past, she met Rex and his father at a hotel.

“Girl, this old man, so happy to finally meet your father.” Patrick smiled at Jonathan.

“All right, come on in! I hope Uncle Patrick can treat our humble home as his own,” said Jonathan sincerely. He recently learned that the prominent NY family, the Morrisons, owned the company that gave his daughter a full scholarship.

And what surprised her the most, Scarlett said that she had been considered a daughter by the Morrison family.

That’s why when he found out old Morrison and Rex were coming to this island, he made sure Scarlett brought them to this house.

Jonathan Piers wanted to thank them for caring for Scarlett while she was studying in the US.

Because at that time, he did not have time to pay attention to Scarlett’s progress there—until now, he still feels sorry for his indifference to Scarlett.
