For the first time, Carter saw his older brother smiling at him. He was speechless beyond words.
The room fell silent.
Xander didn't look at Carter at all. He was busy reading something on his iPad.
As for Carter, he observed his older brother with mixed feelings. So many questions were now running through his mind and made him want to ask.
"Brother, may I ask a question?" Carter finally dared to ask Xander. When he saw Xander nod, he continued, "Since when did you get married? And why did you suddenly get married?"
Xander put his Ipad on the coffee table and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His deep eyes casually look at Carter.
"A few days ago!" Xander was silent for a moment. He suddenly remembered he hadn't spoken to Scarlett about this — afraid their answers would not be the same.
After a few seconds, he said, "I'm too old to postpone my wedding..."
"Hahaha, you're right, bro. But isn't this too hasty?" Carter still can't believe his brother finally married after so many women have cried because he rejected them.
Xander didn't say anything. His eyes stared at the stairs waiting for the girl to come down.
"Brother, who is the lucky woman you married? Do I know her?" Carter was curious to know the woman who could melt the glacier in his brother's heart.
"No, you are not!"
"Is she an entrepreneur? What family does she come from?"
There's no way his brother could marry a commoner, right?
His brother's standard of finding a life partner is very high. He even rejects the top models, famous movie stars, and the daughters or granddaughters of wealthy families in this country.
Moreover, their grandfather would be the first to reject a woman from an ordinary family.
"...from Island B."
Carter was surprised.
If her sister-in-law was from Island B, she must be ordinary. And what he knew, none of the rich and powerful families, on par with them, had come from the island.
Or did he miss something? No! He was sure about that.
So, if his sister-in-law is not from a wealthy family. Then she must be a famous actress, right!? Or is she a singer or model!?
"She's in the entertainment business?" Carter asked again.
Xander was confused about answering Carter's question because Scarlett's work is related to the film industry, so she is indirectly involved in the entertainment field.
But that girl is very mysterious; she hid her identity as the founder of the RAS.
"I told you, she works at Red Animation Studio!" Xander's eyes suddenly flickered, looking at the end of the stairs as the girl slowly descended from the second floor. Her gray hair was striking in the morning.
Xander frowned when he realized Scarlett was still wearing her pajamas. She looked so alluring with that minimal and thin material.
He could clearly see the curves in a particular part of her body, and it triggered his blood to pulse within him, and heat seeped through his veins, heading straight between his thighs!
Fuck!! He couldn't let Carter see her.
Before Xander wanted to say anything, he heard Carter say...
"Brother, my sister-in-law must be a goddess. She must be a sexy and alluring woman..." Carter's eyes lit up in amazement at his older brother. "...that's why you decided to marry her, right!?"
Coming down the stairs, Scarlett was slightly surprised when she heard a man talking to Xander; the man was talking about her. She almost choked.
'She was a goddess!? Sexy and alluring!?'
She stopped in her tracks and tried to glimpse her appearance. Instantly, her eyes widened, realizing she was still wearing her short pajamas.
'What the... Oh, God!! How could you forget!!!'
Scarlett vents her frustration in her mind. Before comedown, she only wore her gray wig and put on contact lenses but completely forgot to change her pajamas.
She worried would be late for breakfast and make Xander's mood change again. Last night, they were fine. She didn't want to let this cold-blooded man go mad.
She quickly glanced at Xander and was stunned at how dark his expression was now. Without being told, she made a U-turn and ran up the stairs leading to her bedroom to change.
'What a chaotic morning! And, who is that man talking to Xander?' She wondered as she entered her bedroom.
Carter was confused by his brother's suddenly changing expression; he looked very annoyed, looking at his back.
He turned to see his brother's line of sight and was surprised to see a woman's back running up the stairs. He could see how beautiful and smooth the woman's legs were.
He always had imagined his sister-in-law to have long, beautiful hair, but that woman? Short and gray!? Look at the odds.
"That sister-in-law?" Carter asked as he turned his gaze back to Xander, but he was shocked, looking into his eyes like there was a nameless fire dancing in his gaze that was looking at him. He gulped.
Carter stammered to continue his sentence, "...B-Big B-Bro, why is my sister-in-law back upstairs!?"
Xander didn't say anything but stood up from his chair and walked to the dining area. When he entered the dining room, his dark expression slowly disappeared.
He cleared his throat and glanced at Paul. He slightly smiled as if he wanted to give him compliments for setting up Scarlett's cutlery next to him.
At least he would sit with her to show their PDA, to torment this stupid kid who ruined his morning.
If only this kid had not come, he would have enjoyed his peaceful breakfast with Scarlett.
Shortly after...
Scarlett went back downstairs and headed straight for the dining room after she didn't see Xander in the living room.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom But as soon as she entered the dining room, what she heard almost fatally choked her.
"Oh, Babe... come sit here. You must be hungry, right!?" Xander said in his gentle tone and graced her with his loving smile.
'Gosh! Today's acting session started so early!?' Scarlett was taken aback to have to act in front of others.
Carter was like being struck by lightning.
