The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 197 Beast!

?Next morning.

When Scarlett woke up, she didn't see Xander beside her. She only saw traces of Xander sleeping.

A happy smile spread across her lips, realizing that this wasn't just a dream — Xander had returned to her.

But, where is he going?

Scarlett woke up from her sleep, wanting to find him. However, a nameless pain engulfed her body. She couldn't move at all. Every time she moved, she could feel her bones shatter.

What hurt the most was her waist and thighs. It felt like she had such intense training with the core members of her guild for the first time.

"Why is it so painful!?" She muttered while forcing herself to sit up. After trying for a while, she finally managed to sit on the edge of the bed.

Her eyes swept around the room. She blushed when finding traces of their wild night on the floor; Her torn lingerie was on the floor, likewise, with Xander's black pajamas and boxers.

Gosh!

She buried her face in her hands to hide her flushed face from embarrassment.

After a while, she notices she's wearing black pajamas, similar to Xander's.

"Why, I'm wearing his pajamas?" She frowned, seeing she only wore a pajama shirt with no pants. She was only wearing underwear.

Suddenly, another shock wave hit Scarlett. Last night's memories surfaced in her mind; Xander helps her shower, and he washes her in the tub, but they end up making love. Not only once but more than that...

Last night, she felt defeated! She admits that Xander is indeed a beast. His energy was inexhaustible to the point where she didn't have the power to keep up with him.

Looks like she needs to start her hellish training all over again!

And, last night was a wild night she would never forget.

But now, Scarlett doesn't know how to face Xander. Again Scarlett pressed her cheeks with both hands, trying to get rid of the images of their wild night still dancing in her mind.

After a few moments of trying to calm herself down, she felt much better.

Then she glanced at the clock on the nightstand. To her surprise, it was past 8 in the morning.

"Gosh!! I'm late!! I have to go to the office now. I can't be late..." She has a to-do list to finish today.

She stood up from the bed, but when her feet touched the cold marble floor, it was as if hundreds of needles were pricking her feet.

"ARGH!!" Scarlett cried while trying to keep herself from falling. She was shocked by this pain.

'Gosh! My hips and thighs feel in pain, and my feet hurt too!? What did Xander do last night? Why do I feel like I just came back from a triathlon!?' She was scolding Xander in her heart while trying to walk to the bathroom.

"Scarlett!? What's wrong!?" Xander's voice came from the doorway. He panicked to see Scarlett limping towards the bathroom. "Are you hurt?" He ran to her and held her hand.

"Hmm! I feel like I've just finished my triathlon! My body is sore, and every time I step on it, it's like I'm walking on nails." A forced smile appeared on her lips while holding Xander's hand tightly.

Instantly Xander felt sorry for her.

"You should call me. I'll take you to the bathroom!" He said and picked her up. "Baby, I'll help you take a shower."

"No! Please don't, Xander!" Scarlett couldn't let this man see her naked again, or she would awaken the beast like last night. Hell no! Not for this morning.

"Why did you refuse? I just want to help you, babe..." Xander looked disappointed to hear her refusal. He put her down carefully.

After she could stand up properly, she looked him in the eye.

"Why did you refuse!?" He asked again.

Scarlett was speechless.

"Are you pretending you don't know? Last night we made love in the tub after you helped me shower!?" Scarlett wanted to ask him like that, but the words made a U-turn in her throat. Worried that this guy will remember their wild night and he'll get turned on again.

She smiled at him, "...because I'm not going to shower. I want to wash my face and brush my teeth! Not showering at all..."

"Ah! You're right... You took a shower last night. Alright, let me help you brush your teeth." Xander deftly took her toothbrush and applied the toothpaste. But before he could brush her teeth, Scarlett stopped him.

"Xander, I will do it myself! You can help me choose my clothes..." She paused when she saw him smile widely. "Thanks, Xander. I'll go to the office so you can choose what I usually wear; trousers and a shirt will do!"

Xander didn't move. He forgot he had not told her about his deal with Tyler last night.

Scarlett was just about to brush her teeth and stop when she saw Xander's reflection in the mirror still beside her.

"Why are you just standing there?" She turned her body to face him.

"Baby!" Xander put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him. "You don't have to go to the office..."

p?nd?`no??1--?o? Scarlett frowned. Confused! Are they going to island B now?

It seemed she had yet to discuss this matter with him because she wanted to finish some work she was working on before going to island B.

"Sorry, Xander. But I have to go to my office today. I have to take care of some things in my office before I take another day off..." Scarlett explained.

Xander rubbed her nose gently with a smile. "No need, baby! I already asked Tyler to clear your schedule for a week."

Scarlett, "..."

"Tyler promised to take care of everything. So everything will be fine!"

"But..."

"I understand your concern..." He smoothed the few strands of her hair that fell on her face before continuing, "You can work from here. I asked Logan to set up your computer in the study!"

Scarlett finally felt relieved.
