The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 361 Ready To Have Children!

?

However, just as they were about to enter the house, the sound of a car approaching caught their attention.

"Master, it's Young Master Parker," said Albert, the middle-aged butler who stood behind Xander.

Scarlett and Xander turned around to see a green sports car speeding toward the front yard. 

A chuckle escaped Scarlett's lips as she caught sight of Theodor's familiar red, ginger hair from a distance. As the car came to a stop a few meters away, she could hear the loud voice of that playful man calling her name.

"SISTER-IN-LAW! Welcome to the Royal Garden!" Theodor shouted as he hopped out of his sports car.

"Hello, Theo," Scarlett smiled at him. "I truly appreciate your help to establish RAS in this city..."

"Hahaha, it's no big deal, sister," Theodor replied, waving his hand as if to dismiss any notion that his assistance was not a big deal.

"Well, still, your help has helped me a lot." Scarlett faintly smiles.

"Theo, why did you come so early?" Xander raised his voice slightly. He had expected Theodor to arrive later, as he had invited him to join them for dinner.

Theodor scratched his head and glanced at Xander. "I just wanted to personally welcome my sister-in-law!" he grinned, then turned his gaze to Scarlett. "Alright, sis, you should rest for now. I'll leave and come back later to join you guys for dinner." With that, he swiftly returned to his sports car, and soon the green sports car disappeared from their sight.

"He just left like that?" Scarlett was confused by Theodor's sudden departure. Why did he come for just two minutes and then leave? It puzzled her.

"Hmm, he'll come back later," Xander reassured her, then he asked Scarlett to enter the house. But before they proceeded, he introduced her to the butler and the head maid who would assist them during their stay in the house.

Scarlett was no longer surprised to see the luxurious interior of the house, which looked similar to Xander's other properties.

They proceeded directly to the second floor, where their bedroom was located.

On the third floor, there was a man cave dedicated to Xander. It consisted of a playroom with a spacious and inviting lounge area, resembling a charming lobby in a five-star hotel and his home office.

"Babe, I know you need a dedicated computer room for work, so I had someone install a high-tech computer in there," Xander said, leading her to a door on the other side of their bedroom on the second floor.

"Really?" Scarlett was amazed by Xander's idea of creating a computer room just for her. 

She truly needed it to perform her office work efficiently, especially since her main priority in coming to this country was finding clues about her mother. With a computer room dedicated to her own use, she could access the necessary resources without any hindrance, even when she couldn't do so in her office.

"Yes, go inside and check. If you need anything else, just let me know. I'll have someone arrange it for you," Xander said, eagerly awaiting his wife's response. He leaned against the door frame, feeling a sense of happiness as he observed her enthusiasm.

Scarlett entered the computer room, her eyes scanning the high-tech equipment and the meticulously organized workspace. She couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards Xander for his thoughtfulness.

"Xander, this is perfect!" she exclaimed, turning to face him with a bright smile. "Thank you so much for arranging this for me. It's what I exactly needed."

Xander returned her smile, his heart filled with joy. "I'm glad you like it, babe. Anything for you," he replied, his voice filled with sincerity.

Scarlett walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him into a loving embrace. 

Xander smiled as he pressed his body against hers and gently kissed her head. 

"Alright, let's see our bedroom! I hope you'll love the interior." He said as he released his embrace.

"Mr. Riley... Everything you choose is something I'm bound to like. I've seen your taste in interiors before!" She chuckled and released her arms from around him, following him toward their bedroom.

As they entered the room, Scarlett's eyes widened in awe. The bedroom reflected Xander's exquisite taste and attention to detail. The elegant furniture, the soft color palette, and the warm lighting created an atmosphere of serenity and romance.

"As I expected," Scarlett whispered, her voice filled with admiration. She walked towards the large window, allowing the natural light to illuminate the room and reveal the breathtaking view outside. "And the lake view... it's simply breathtaking, Xander! I can't  wait to explore the backyard..."

Xander approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I'm glad you like it," he murmured, tenderly kissing her neck. 

Scarlett giggled in his arms, feeling thrilled by his sudden intimate touch.

"This will be our haven for the next few months, where we can create our future, including the possibility of having a child together..." His whispered words made Scarlett's face flush.

It was the first time she heard Xander express his desire for a child. They had never really discussed it before, both consumed by their busy work lives.

Scarlett leaned back into his embrace, feeling a wave of happiness and worry washes over her. She had been taking the birth control pill all along, fearing the potential side effects and making it difficult for her to get pregnant.

Not receiving a response from Scarlett, Xander released his embrace and gently turned her to face him.

"Baby, don't you want to have children with me?" Xander asked.

"Of course I do! I truly want to!"

"But why don't you seem happy about it?" He asked, feeling worried.

"It's because I'm afraid I may not be able to get pregnant," she confessed.

Scarlett averted her gaze and lowered her head before continuing her words, "Xander, I have been taking contraceptive pills without your knowledge. I'm sorry for not telling you..."
