The Billionaire's Genius Wife

After some silence, Scarlett sat up straight and looked at him.

"Didn't I tell you?" her alluring smile appeared on her face trying to entice him. Tried to change the subject but, of course, her husband is a smart guy.

Xander chuckled. He shook his head before stroking her soft cheeks, "You think I'm a child who will believe that!?"

"Waah, Mr. Riley, you can't believe me!? Aren't you afraid that people out there will chase me if I go out like this? You could see Carter just now, right!? He couldn't take his eyes off me..." She found it funny to see Xander's face suddenly turn somber.

"Baby!" Xander suddenly touched her chin and made her look into his eyes. "I, I believe you!" he said, seizing her lips with his soft kiss.

Scarlett smiled at him after his sudden kiss. "Since when do you always silence me with your kisses!?"

"From now on!" He said, and another kiss landed on her lips.

Scarlett, "..."

...

Their sweet and intimate breakfast finally came to an end. They moved into the living room area.

Xander watches business news on television while Scarlett lies on his lap, playing a game on her cellphone. This game is created by Red Animation Studio.

After a few minutes...

Xander glanced at the girl sleeping on his thighs. He stroked her forehead, but the girl didn't flinch at all. She looked at her phone earnestly.

Xander smiled and tilted his head slightly to see what she was doing. How surprised he was to see Scarlett playing a game.

He couldn't hear the sound of her game, but he could see what she was playing looked interesting.

After a few minutes of waiting, he finally took off her earphones. Only then did Scarlett finally stop playing and sit facing him.

"Oh, you finished watching the news?"

"Hmm! What game are you playing? It looks fun!"

"Yeah, this is the latest game my company has developed. I am not involved in this project, but they asked me to test it," said Scarlett. She played the BETA version only to find a loophole in the game before release.

Xander can't believe this girl is still working. Even though he had asked her to rest.

He heard from Logan that Scarlett was very busy while he was on a business trip; she forced herself to work. That's why he wanted to keep her here. To relax and, at the same time, enjoy their time together.

"So, did you find the problem?"

"Not yet! I hope not. This game has been delayed far too long now..." She explained it to him.

Xander didn't comment. He listened to her silently because he didn't own a game company and didn't like playing games, so he didn't understand what she was explaining.

After a while, she finally finished. "Hahaha, sorry if I talk a lot about games. I hope you don't get tired of hearing it."

Xander pulled her to sit on his thighs. Their faces were so close. Scarlett had to back her face away a little from his. He chuckled and touched her neck gently. He saw Scarlett glaring at him, but he ignored her and pulled her closer until their foreheads touched.

After a few moments, he pulled his head slightly away to see her shy face more clearly. He can't help but smile, looking at her red face now.

"Baby, after our wild night, after we lived a few months together, why do you still feel shy of me?" Xander's gentle eyes became even more intense. There seemed to be emotions boiling within those gentlenesses.

Scarlett was tongue-tied after hearing his words — obviously embarrassed her even more.

'Does his question need to be answered? Geez!! Why was this man so happy to tease me? Can he ignore my blushing face!?' Discreetly, in her mind, Scarlett scolded Xander while searching for the right words to answer him so that this man would not tease her anymore.

"I, I'm not shy of you. I just..." Before Scarlett could finish her words, his lips caught hers. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ As their lips parted, she saw Xander smiling, "You are much more skilled than before, babe..."

Scarlett blushed even more at his words. She hid her head on his shoulder and felt his warmth.

She didn't know how to control herself from blushing in front of this man. Because all of this intimacy was utterly new to her. So, she's still learning to get used to it. Still, she'll be like this longer since Xander is always teasing her.

Xander was amused with Scarlett, he wanted to tease her more, but he stopped when something crossed his mind.

"Baby, I just remembered something."

Scarlett stood straight to see his face, "What was that?"

"Well, Carter was a pro gamer before he took over Studio Phoenix. You can also ask him to test your game. Maybe he can help you find a loophole."

"Really?" Scarlett was surprised to hear that. "That's a good idea. I'll call him..."

Her company already has people they usually ask to do BETA testing. However, she wanted to know the opinions of those she knew closely. It would be great if the person is an enthusiast or professional gamer.

"No need to call him. You can ask him when we visit grandpa's house..."

Hearing Xander mention his grandfather, Scarlett suddenly thought about her father.

"Xander, when can we go to the island? My dad keeps asking about you. We better go there when I have the day off!"

Xander didn't reply immediately. He didn't want to let Scarlett leave this room. But, the meeting with her father also could not be postponed anymore.

"Can we go there the day after tomorrow? Is that okay?"

"Perfect! I'll call my dad as well as grandpa! So they can get ready."

"You can arrange that. I'll have Logan get the Jetstream standby."

Today, Xander and Scarlett only spend time in the main bedroom and don't go out all day...
