The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Logan adjusted his glasses, which nearly slipped off his nose — too shocked to hear the interaction between Xander and Scarlett in the backseat.

This was the first time Logan heard Xander and Scarlett talk to each other, which shocked him.

Why are they fighting?

Don't they like each other?

Without making a sound, Logan adjusted his seat so he could clearly see what was going on in the backseat.

He saw his Master's face turn somber, looking at the girl beside him who was now ignoring him.

'Holy moly, Master, that's not how to win a woman's heart. You need to be gentler when dealing with them.' Logan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He was still in shock at his master who had been acting strangely.

His Master has a new hobby, which has been tormenting their precious hearts non-stop since yesterday. Still clear in Logan's mind, yesterday morning his master threw an explosion at him, instructing him to look after his future wife, Scarlett Piers.

How did he suddenly find a wife on island B? Obviously, he didn't believe it. He thought his master was joking.

But after meeting Miss Scarlett, he slowly changed his mind. His master is serious.

He thought his Master and Miss Scarlett would get married in the distant future, but who knew that his Master would get married today?

This was something he had never predicted.

When Logan discovered they were getting married so fast, he guessed that Scarlett was Xander's first love when they were young. And when they met again on the island, they decided to get married, but just now, he doubted it.

They spoke like enemies, not old lovers reuniting after years. There is no love involved between them.

Then why did they decide to get married? This fast?

Logan racked his brain, trying to find an answer. After a few seconds, his body froze as a strange thought crossed his mind.

'Miss Scarlett is pregnant??' Logan was shocked beyond words by his thoughts.

'Is she really pregnant?'

He slowly stole a glance to see Miss Scarlett in the rearview mirror.

'Impossible!! Impossible! Master had never met this woman before!?'

Logan shook his head, trying to shake off the absurd thoughts from his brain.

It wasn't long before the car stopped right in front of the main entrance, the civil registration office.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Scarlett saw Xander getting out of the car after fixing his suit.

Just before she wanted to follow him, she paused when she saw Logan open the door for her.

"Thanks, Logan!" She said softly.

Scarlett could feel her heart beating fast as she got out of the car. She was really nervous, for the first time since she had agreed to enter into a contract marriage with Xander Riley. She followed Xander's wide steps to enter the building while trying to calm her mind.

Ben is already waiting for them near the entrance. He immediately led them to a private meeting room. The room is not very big, but it looks clean and bright. A meeting table with 10 chairs lay in the middle of the room. On the corner, there is a photo booth with a red background.

Two officials stood up from their seats as soon as Xander and Scarlett entered the room.

"Good morning Mr. Riley, Mrs. Riley…." The two officers greeted them politely and asked them to sit down.

Scarlett was surprised to hear how they called her by Xander's last name. Is she officially Xander's legal wife now? Wow! It felt unreal to her.

She maintained a calm face, trying not to show any expression.

As for Xander, he was satisfied to hear this officer call Scarlet by his last name. He smiled secretly.

"Mr. Riley, you don't need to come here. We can come to your place to do the paperwork." Said one of the officers who wore glasses with gold frames.

"It's fine. I just happened to be passing by here." Xander casually said and sat down on the chair Ben had prepared.

"Sir, this is a document that you need to check..." The officer handed the document to Xander. Then, he looked at the beautiful woman sitting next to Xander, "Mrs. Riley, you can check these documents too."

"Thank you..." Scarlett took the paper and checked it. She was stunned when she saw all the data was filled in the form. "Do you need my ID card?" She looked at the official.

"No need, Mrs. Riley," he smiled. "You just need to take a photo with Mr. Riley and sign the papers."

Scarlett silently chuckled. She never gave her ID to Xander.

This man clearly had powerful hackers behind him, so he was able to get his hands on her real personal information. She was certain that her real information would not be easily discovered. Because what is circulating is fake information that has been altered.

Before long…

One of the officers directed them to a photo booth.

After they were photographed separately. The photographer asked them to take pictures side by side.

As Xander stood so close to her, she could feel her heart starting to beat faster. And when their arms touched each other, her body stiffened. They were so close that she could feel his body heat and smell his familiar, masculine mint scent.

Before she could overcome the strange feeling that swept over her, she could feel her face slowly turn stiff. She secretly exhaled, sincerely trying to relax.

"Mrs. Riley, your face looks stiff. Please smile a bit…." The photographer smiled politely at her.

Scarlett wanted to gag the photographer after he exposed her.

But she can't do it now, right!? She could only follow his orders while trying hard to get rid of her fantasies about the hot guy beside her. She smiles.

"And, please, stand closer to Mr. Riley…."

'Damn it!! Mr. Photographer, this is already closed. How close should it be? You mean, until our hands embrace each other!?' Scarlett couldn't help scolding the photograph until she felt satisfied, having vented her frustration—even though it was only in her mind.

But in just one breath, she felt her body tense when Xander's arm landed on her shoulder.
