Scarlett didn't say anything else but waited for Xander to say sothing. However, a few minutes passed, and Xander didn't say anything. He just sat quietly with a look that she couldn't describe in words.
That worried her, and she couldn't help but ask, "X-Xander, please say sothing! Did you hear what I said?"
...
Xander is still in shock at Scarlett's confession.
This was sothing he had not expected —soone wanted her life?
He never imagined her reason was so deep. Now, so many questions assailed his mind. But he was confused about where to start to ask her.
Xander's eyes t her worried look. It took him a few seconds before he could utter a word to ask her, "Baby..." His voice was gentle, but his eyes flashed with worry, "...please say this isn't true? You're just making excuses as you did before, right?"
Scarlett could only smile to answer his question. She had tried to tell him, but her honesty seed useless.
After they fell silent while looking at each other, Xander finally realized Scarlett was telling the truth. Instantly he tensed up.
Xander's mind spun back to realize all the words that had ever left her mouth. Several tis this girl had given him hints, but he had never taken them seriously — he thought she was joking.
All this ti, Xander has always been suspicious of Scarlett's identity circulating out there. He has never found the latest Photo of her. All of those are photos of her before adulthood. Her face now is quite different from when she was in her early teens, especially when she wears a wig and covers the color of her eyes.
"Scarlett Piers, who are you? Why does your identity include confidential information like my identity?" Xander wanted to ask her, but he held himself.
He knew Scarlett was hiding sothing from him, and he didn't want to force her to tell the truth because he was like that too. He couldn't tell the truth about his identity.
Many questions now filled his mind. But one question that now seized his curiosity; Who wants her life?
He would make sure that person would perish from this world! How dare he chases after his wife?
A vicious, murderous aura imdiately erged from him. He said, "Who's after you? Please tell . I'll make sure that person regrets what he did!"
Scarlett was stunned. This is what she is afraid of. Xander will involve himself in her battle with the maniac. And it would put his life in danger. How could she allow that?
"X-Xander, listen..." Scarlett took his hand — she was stunned because she could fill his trembling hands as if he held the anger inside him. "Sorry, I can't tell you who that person is. We too..." Scarlett suddenly stopped her words as she realized she had said sothing she shouldn't have said.
"WE? Who WE, do you an?" Xander's voice sounded icy cold.
She could only curse herself inwardly because she talked so much. She has to stop now, or Xander will discover she is involved with The Fox. And that would make things awkward.
"Is it Rex?" Xander continued again after seeing this girl not saying any word even though her eyes tremble a lot like she was having a conflict inside her.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Scarlett still didn't say any words. She could only lower her gaze to avoid his burning gaze.
Before long, Scarlett could hear Xander let out a deep sigh. Then he said, "Okay, I understand you can't tell the truth, but please tell , does Rex know about soone chasing you?" his desperate voice could make Scarlett slowly raise her head and et his eyes.
Her hands were tightly clenched before she said, "I'm sorry if I couldn't be frank with you. But believe , I did it for the safety of many people. And, you should know, I'm being honest with you right now because I was hoping you could make sure people around you who know about my appearance won't reveal my secret. Because it could put them and in danger!"
Xander was stunned.
"I promise you to make sure they'll never see you!" Xander agrees with her. Now he begins to regret what he has done these past months, forcing her to appear without her disguise in public places.
"Thank you, Xander!" Scarlett smiles sweetly at him and holds his hand again. She could see through his eyes that he felt terrible right now.
"Baby, what about your trail in Swan Lake Town?" Xander now felt regretful because she didn't wear her wig at all during their trip, and many people saw her appearance.
She smiled at him, saying, "Don't worry, I've taken care of it. My trail is safe..."
"Oh, what a relief!" Xander pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back lovingly, but a second later, sothing crossed his mind. He suddenly let go of her and looked into her eyes, "Photo! Your Photo when we got married at the civil registry office..."
He now felt angry with himself. Because that day, he deliberately took many photos of them because he was happy that Scarlett didn't use a wig and appeared as she was.
Scarlett smiled, seeing Xander's panicked expression. She said, "If you check the folders on your laptop now, you won't find anything. I've already taken care of that too. So, Mr. Riley, I'm sorry I did this without your knowledge..." A mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
"Y-You did?" He was speechless. At that ti, he deliberately kept their Photo as a reminder if they later divorced. Luckily, that won't happen because they agree to have this wedding for real.
"Haha, yes! But I didn't burn the photos you printed and kept in your office in our house. That's the only remaining Photo left from when we got married." Scarlett smiled at his shocked expression.
"Ah, and there is, in the civil registry, but it's a small version, so I guess it will be safe. Besides, no one can see them if they try to hack into the registry office database. I provide protection in our marriage information." She continued.
Xander opened his mouth several tis, but not a single sentence left his lips. He could only feel proud to have a hacker's wife.
