The Billionaire's Genius Wife-Chapter 105 Teach A Lesson
When Scarlett entered the room, she saw Xander standing by the glass window with his back facing her. He looks like he is talking with someone on the phone.
She tiptoed into her bedroom, not wanting to distract him. However, she heard Xander call her before she could open the bedroom door.
A smile appeared on her lips, and she turned around to look at him. She said, "Sorry, I didn't want to bother you, so..."
"It's fine, you can get changed first... We'll get our dinner in thirty minutes." She nodded and entered her bedroom.
Scarlett immediately took a shower and put on her comfortable clothes; short floral pajamas. After that, she dried her long hair. Then, a few minutes later, she sat at the study table, focused and wholly immersed in working on her laptop.
A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her lips as she flexed her fingers.
"Ten minutes is enough to ruin your life, Brody Wood!!" She muttered while her fingers began to rapidly dance across the keyboard.
After returning to this country, she avoided using her skills to teach people like this. She usually did if someone paid her dearly, but now, this person had pissed her off — she couldn't help but have to do it for free. Sigh!
"This Wood Family is so daring and arrogant to mess with my family! After Ms. Wood, now her son. I've never met anyone more shameless than them. And you, Brody...you really deserve my punishment!!"
After a few minutes passed, her eyes shone brightly, staring at her laptop monitor.
Her evil laugh boomed through the room as she chastised the rich young master.
"Brody Wood, you will regret having to meet me today!!" She pressed 'ENTER' and stood up from her seat.
Scarlett feasted her eyes on the moon in the night sky for a moment.
Her heart had been upset because the Wood family… now slowly calmed down. And the thought of what would happen to Brody filled her with joy.
Shortly after...
ραпdα n?νa| сom Scarlett came out after she heard Xander calling her.
She sat across from him and started to eat her dinner without saying anything. Only now did she realize that she was hungry. She didn't eat much of her lunch in the hospital because she was busy talking to Grandpa Robert about his last mission to help people who needed his talent.
That old man is so strange! While his medical expertise is in demand by many important people in big countries, he instead goes to small towns on the other side of the earth. He prefers looking for rare medical cases and helps them pro Bono.
In the middle of her trance, Scarlett suddenly heard Xander ask her, "When did your father have surgery?"
She slowly raised her head to look at him. "Tomorrow after lunchtime."
"I'll accompany you to the hospital. What time will you be there?"
"Your work here is done?" Scarlett saw him nod. She continued, "I'll be there at ten. I have lunch plans with Doctor Robert and..."
"...And what?" He frowned, seeing the girl did not continue her sentence.
"Grandpa Robert... I mean Doctor Robert, he wanted to know you. Well, yesterday, we talked a lot about you." Her face blushed.
"It sounds good!" He smiled back at her before continuing, "I heard someone claiming to be your first love in the hospital?"
'DAMN IT, LOGAN!!' Scarlett cursed Logan in her mind.
She didn't mind Logan telling Xander about Brody, but could that man wisely sort out what needed to be said and what wasn't!?
And now, this man was clearly teasing her. She clearly sees a teasing smile in his eyes. Gosh!
"Hahaha... That guy is talking nonsense. Don't believe in such things, Xander. My standards are high. I only like handsome boys, like..." She swallowed her next word, "YOU." How could she say that to Xander!?
"...Like what?" Xander's brow furrowed, and his eyes flashed with curiosity.
Scarlett suddenly felt her throat go dry. But his gaze was still waiting for her to answer. She shifted her gaze and fell onto the TV screen. She inwardly smiles, seeing superhero movies and male lead shows on screen.
"...like Captain America!" She said softly but loud enough to make Xander's face stiffen.
He placed the napkin on the table, then said, "... so your type is a clean-cut man, huh!?"
Scarlett was stunned by his tone. He sounded a little irritated. Why!?
Immediately shifted her gaze to look at him, but she was surprised to see his warm and spring-like smile disappear into a cold stare. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Do I need to shave my sideburns to look like Captain America?" Xander casually said while rubbing his neat-thin sideburn.
Hearing his words made Scarlett almost choke — This man is perfect. He doesn't need to change anything. She likes him the way he is.
"...NO. I like you! I like you like that…." Instantly Scarlett feels like she turns into a statue. How dare her mouth to betray her!? She had no intention of expressing her mind. Damn!
She tried to correct her words, but when she saw him smiling, her cheeks instantly felt warm. And all the words on the tip of her tongue rolled back down her throat. She was utterly speechless.
"Fine! I'll keep it for you, then..." Xander stood up from his seat before saying, "Good night..." with light steps towards his room, a smile blooming on his face.
Scarlett was still frozen in her seat. Too awkward to do anything until she heard Xander's bedroom door close. She was finally able to take a deep breath.
She buried her face in her hands, too embarrassed that she had told Xander what was on her mind. What a shame!
"Scarlett!! You must learn to restrain yourself in front of that man. At least you need to hide your true feelings for him!" She muttered under her breath as she stood up from her chair and carried her weak knees to walk to her bedroom.
Now, she was confused about how to face him later.
