The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Suddenly an idea flashed through Scarlett's mind. Her smile grew wider as she entered the room.

"Young miss, why did you come here? Just call us if you need anything..." Lana immediately stood up and approached Scarlett.

"Nope. Me, just bored inside!" When Scarlett saw Lana frowning, she continued, "My father stole my husband. So, I came here to find someone to talk to..."

Scarlett sat on one of the chairs facing Uncle Adams opposite her.

"You look in a good mood, uncle!?" Scarlett smiled at him and looked at Lana, who was still standing looking at her.

"Auntie, I need coffee to wake me up! Please make a strong one for me..." Scarlett said. "Thank you, auntie Lana!"

"Young Miss, don't drink strong coffee in the afternoon. You won't be able to sleep because of too much caffeine!" Adams said in a worried tone.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Adams was astonished to know that this girl liked to drink coffee. Before leaving for the US, he remembered she didn't even like the idea of drinking coffee. Is it because she has lived in the US so long that she is now addicted to coffee?

Lana chuckled at Adams' words, and she glanced at him.

"Adams, don't you worry. Even if she drinks a lot of coffee at noon or night, it won't affect her sleeping habits..." explained Aunty Lana while making drip coffee for Scarlett.

Lana found out Scarlett liked to drink coffee from Cruz, who constantly gossiped about Scarlett while living in her apartment in the RAS building.

Adam's eyebrows slightly raised, looking at Scarlett.

"Young miss, please take care of your health…" he started to worry, especially when he heard that this girl often stayed up late when she worked.

"Uncle, I'm still young. Don't worry about my health. Just worry about yourself, uncle..." An amused grin crossed Scarlett's lips before continuing, "You better think about the future. Quickly propose to Aunt Lana, or she'll run away with another man!"

'PRAK'

There was the sound of breaking glass falling to the floor. Scarlett and Adams immediately looked in the direction of the sound. They both were speechless, staring at Lana, who froze with a red face staring at them.

Scarlett appeared calm, but she was internally cracking up. It was so fun watching Aunty Lana's shy expression, "Gosh!! Aunty Lana, why are you so clumsy!!"

Lana was about to answer Scarlett, but suddenly her tongue was numb when she saw Adams walking fast towards her.

"Do not move!!" Adams crouched beside Lana. He helped clean up the broken glass that was scattered on the floor.

Scarlett couldn't help but smile at how manly Adams was now. He looks like a prince who came to help his princess. How sweet! She suddenly felt happy for Aunt Lana.

"Aunt Lana, I know your relationship with Uncle Adams. So you don't need to be shy..." Scarlett grinned when she saw Lana glaring at her.

"Y-Young Miss, please don't make things up! There's no..." Before Lana's sentence was finished, Adams suddenly stood up and looked into Lana's eyes.

"Lana, I like you! And you know that, right!? But why do you always avoid me whenever I express my love to you?" Adams took another deep breath before continuing, "What young miss said is true. I must not delay any longer!"

Lana was shocked to hear Adams' words.

'This stupid man, how can he express his love like this? In front of Scarlett!? Did he lose his brain somewhere?' Lana glared at him while scolding him inwardly.

"Will you marry me, Lana!?" Adam's sharp gaze could make Lana freeze instantly.

She felt her heartbeat beating faster than usual after realizing what Adams had just said. 'This man proposed to me!?'

While Lana and Adams were staring at each other, Scarlett pursed her lips tightly to hide her laughter.

She didn't expect her joke to trigger Adams to propose to Lana.

'Am I now capable of being a matchmaker?' Scarlett smiled while shaking her head.

She glanced at the love birds, but it seemed they were still doing staring contests.  Sigh!

Worried about interrupting their moment. Scarlett pretends to look at her cell phone.

...

"Please say something, Lana!" Adams was the first to break the silence. His voice sounded impatient.

Lana is confused. 'Is this man serious?'

She looked into Adams' eyes, and she was stunned. She can see how serious his gaze is now.

'Should I accept him or reject him!?' Lana is feeling confused. She does not know. She likes Adams, but she never imagined they would marry one day.

Adams is still waiting for Lana to say something. But Lana remains silent. After a while, Adams began to feel worried. He took a deep breath, "So you don't..."

"OK!!!" Lana said, her face expressionless, making Adams confused.

"What, OK!?"

She couldn't stand his burning gaze. She lowered her head to look at his black leather shoes before saying in a low, barely audible voice, "I mean, yes! I accept your proposal!"

Lana's soft voice sounded quite clear in Adams' ear, "Really?" he asked in disbelief.

Lana slowly raised her head when she heard how happy he was. She smiled at him.

Before Lana could say anything, Adams pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Lana. Thank you for accepting me..." he whispered, kissing Lana's forehead.

Lana still can't believe what happened to her. In a short time, her status from a single woman changed to an engaged woman.

"Auntie, Uncle... Stop the lovey-dovey moment!" Scarlett suddenly pulled the lovebird into reality. "Where's my coffee..."

Lana pushed Adams away and started making coffee for Scarlett.

...

The three of them were now sitting together again.

They drank coffee while Scarlett asked Lana and Adams about her father's health.

Lana explains to Scarlett that Jonathan's health is improving; He can move as usual. Now he only needs to go to the hospital for control twice a week.

Hearing Lana's explanation was enough to make Scarlett happy. Now, she doesn't have to worry about her father anymore. It is only a matter of time before her father can return to his usual routine and take care of their company.
