The Billionaire's Genius Wife - 235 Changed

Time went by so fast…

Entering November, the temperature in Astington, especially the capital city, is getting colder.

In the last few weeks, Scarlett has been busy with her company. She spends much of her time in her office at the RAS building. If she wasn’t working at her office at RAS, she would be working from her small studio at Riley’s hotel.

Scarlett seldom went out to play with Zara or Cruz. Not with her schedule to finish her project — Uncle Harvey Olson had warned her that he would fly to this city to meet her if this film didn’t complete before December.

No! She didn’t want to meet him, well, not now. Afraid the old man would offer her another manuscript. She tried to avoid him; fortunately, the old man had been filming in mainland Europe these past few months.

But today, Scarlett can’t avoid meeting Zara because she will be back in LA tomorrow. Her work here was done, and it was time for her to return.

“Baby, go back to sleep! It’s still 7 in the morning.” Xander pulled Scarlett into his arms as they curled up on the bed.

She giggled in his arms and closed her eyes. Then, she remembered the first time she lived in his house. This man had strange rules; every morning at 7 am, they had to have breakfast together!

“Xander… Do you realize you were so annoying when I first stayed at your house? You made me stressed out with your house rules; I had to get up early to have breakfast with you!!” She said without opening her eyes and obediently stayed in his embrace.

Xander almost laughed at her words. He said, “Babe, do you believe that house rule was made on purpose because of you?”

“Huh!? What do you mean?” Scarlett now looked up and saw his face. When their eyes met, she heard him continue his words.

“I only wanted to see you in the morning, so I made up that ridiculous rule! I never eat breakfast before going to work. Usually, I only sip my morning coffee…” A smile appeared on his lips, but Scarlett was clearly not pleased to see it. She pouted.

“Oh dear wife, did you know? You make my lust awaken every time you sulk like that. Makes me want to devour your lips…”

“Y-You!!” She was speechless. “I’m serious, Xander!”

Gosh! This man really challenged her patience. She’s seriously talking about the house rules, but he’s talking about his lust instead!

“Hahaha, sorry… Sorry…” Xander stopped teasing her, “Why are you annoyed by that rule?”

“Of course I’m annoyed. You wake me up in the morning. Did you know I’m Batgirl? I used to work at night and rarely get up early!” She says. Luckily, that rule didn’t last long. After they officially decided to take this marriage in earnest, the house rule slowly disappeared — he always kept her in bed longer each morning.

“Oops! Sorry babe…” Xander could only feel regret, even though he did it solely to eat with her. “Then why don’t you refuse to get up? It didn’t seem like you were protesting at me then?”

Scarlett pondered for a moment. She was also confused. Why was she so obedient to Xander then, as if she didn’t want to make the man angry!?ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Ugh, well… I thought you were cold! You rarely smile, and your aura is always cold toward me. Maybe for that reason, it makes me unwilling to argue and makes you angry… So I didn’t say anything other than following your rules.”

“Xander, do you know? I had a nickname for you back then…” Scarlett said after their lips separated.

“Nickname? What nickname?” He raised his eyebrows curiously.

“I call you Ice Prince because you look like an iceberg in my eyes! And I thought you didn’t like me.” Scarlett could only laugh remembering that time. Every time she saw Xander, his face looked stiff, and the aura around him was always cold or dark.

“What?” Xander was taken aback by her words. How could this girl think that way about him?

Remembering those times amused her, “…But as time went by, your expression and aura became warmer, and I never thought of you as an Ice Prince again!”

Xander could only shake his head as he laughed inwardly. He didn’t know all along he was acting like that to her. Luckily this girl didn’t use that to reject his offer to take their marriage seriously.

“Glad to hear that, babe! Sorry if my self-past shocked you. I promise… you will never see my cold side again, baby, never!” Xander said while pinching her cheeks lovingly.

After she struggled to hide her face in his chest, something crossed her mind. She looked up again to see him and said, “Xander, Do you act cold too in front of your employees?” She was curious.

Is Xander a boss with a cold and aloof aura in the office? Like she sees in many romance dramas or movies.

Because she’s not the boss like that. She regards her employees who know her identity as owners of the RAS as best friends and family.

But she only does that for those who know her as the owner of RAS. As for the employees who didn’t know her, she avoided them, keeping her distance.

Because of her closeness to Cruz, Zara, and the others, Rex often scolds her, but she never cares. She thinks she needs them as friends because she has difficulty making new friends.

“Hmm, I don’t know! I don’t have much contact with my subordinates. I only have a few people I usually talk to in the company. Obviously, the executives won’t consider me a friend, right?” Xander said calmly.

Scarlett could only nod and say nothing more. But then she heard him say, “If you want to know, you can come to my office…”

Instantly her heart tightened! She did want to come to his office to meet his legendary secretary, Zoey!
