The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 203 Visit The House Of Piers

?Soon their car arrived at the Beach Front Hotel.

The two of them went to their presidential suite on the top floor.

After arriving at their room, Xander was busy on the phone. As for Scarlett, she entered the bedroom and immediately sat down at the office desk in the corner of the room and started working on her laptop.

Her fingers danced fast on the keyboard, and her eyes focused on the no-side-view screen.

She typed in a complicated series of codes in red and green and appeared so fast on the black screen. It took her about ten minutes to type fast, and eventually, her fingers slowed down.

When she saw Xander enter the bedroom, her hands stopped typing. And at the same time, the computer screen returned to normal, showing only a simple browser.

"Baby, everything is fine? Why do you still look tense!?" Xander asked while walking towards her. He stood beside her and peeked at her laptop.

"Yeah, everything is fine. I just checked the news on the internet. And everything seems to be under control..." Scarlett casually said while looking at him, "Did you ask someone to delete the article?"

Before she cleared the series of negative news and commented about Ocean Group, she noticed that several articles had disappeared from the news portals. She could guess it must be Xander's doing.

"Hmm, I actually put some pressure on them. The Riley Group will cut ties with them if they don't delete the news. We will be canceling all our ads!"

Scarlett was speechless. Is Xander this powerful in Astington!?

"Mr. Riley! How kind of you..." She put her arms around his waist and buried her head. "Thank you so much, Hubby!!"

Xander was stunned. Hubby!?

It was the first time this girl had called him like that when it was just the two. And her voice sounded so sincere.

He lifted her from the chair and carried her to the bed.

"Baby, we still have time to make love! You turn me on when you call me like that, Hubby!!"

Scarlett was stupefied.

How could she awaken this beast like that!?

****

Late in the afternoon, the two headed to Scarlett's house.

Scarlett was about to get into the car and saw Logan loading gift boxes into the car.

"My god, Xander! Why did you bring so many gifts? You don't have to..." Scarlett was shocked. And at the same time, she felt bad because when she visited Riley's house for the first time, she didn't bring anything for Grandpa and Aunt Martha.

"It's not much! I just bought some vitamins for your father and paintings!" Xander casually said as he urged her to get into the car.

"Painting?" Scarlett was stunned. "Why did you spend so much money buying paintings for my dad? He's not even a collector!?" Scarlett rolled her eyes and couldn't believe this man was spending much money on her father.

Xander could only smile, seeing Scarlett's annoyed expression.

It wasn't that he was afraid her mood would change but instead found it funny to see her pout like that. He pinched her cheek gently, feeling amused.

"Baby, don't you know? When you're annoyed like this, you look even cuter. It makes me want to kiss you hard!"

Scarlett "..."

She immediately pulled her head back, afraid Xander would kiss her.

He smiled before continuing, "I didn't buy the painting. However, it's from my collection. So, you don't have to worry. I didn't spend much on it. I just bought the vitamins."

Scarlett feels lost talking to Xander. Even if he didn't buy the painting, it was apparent his collection wasn't cheap, right!?

She stopped talking about the matter and tried to understand. Xander didn't want to come to her house empty-handed.

Before long...

Their car stopped in front of the house gate.  Scarlett could see Aunt Lana standing at the fence with Uncle Adams.

She got off first, leaving Xander, who just chuckled, seeing her get off in a hurry.

"Aunt Lana..." Scarlett greeted her with a big smile, then her eyes became damp with tears as she looked at the tall and thin man beside Aunt Lana, "Uncle Adams, long time no see!"

Scarlett had not seen Uncle Adams for a long time. The last time they met was when she left for the US. After that, this man was fired by Lauren.

"You've grown up now, young miss..." Uncle Adams patted Scarlett on the back.

This little girl was why Adams was willing to return to work in this house. If it weren't for the kindness of her mother and this girl, he wouldn't have come back even if Jonathan Piers had begged him.

"Haha, Uncle, I'm not Young Miss anymore. I'm a married woman now!" Scarlett laughed, and she looked back to find Xander. She smiled when she saw him standing behind her.

"Hubby, come... Let me introduce you to them!" She said and pulled Xander to stand beside her. Then she looked at Uncle Adams and Aunty Lana. She was dumbfounded.

'Gosh! Why are these two people looking pale, like they just saw the angel of death!?' Scarlett can't help but laugh inwardly.

She could understand Aunt Lana being so enchanted to see Xander for the first time, but Uncle Adams? Why did he also have the same expression as Aunty Lana when he saw Xander?

"Uncle Adams, Aunt Lana, this is my husband, Xander Riley!" Then, Scarlett turned to look at Xander, "...Xander, these two people are significant in my life. They had cared for me when I was a toddler, and they still care for me now!"

Xander smiled at Scarlett and squeezed her hand gently before he looked at the two people in front of him who were still in a daze looking at him.

"Hello, I'm Xander Riley. Nice to meet you..." He reached out to shake them both.

Scarlett could only laugh in amusement when she saw the awkward-looking Aunty Lana and Uncle Adams talking to Xander.

p?nd?,no??1,?o? Soon Scarlett and Xander entered the house.

Meanwhile, Uncle Adam and Aunt Lana helped Logan bring all the gifts into the house.
