Scarlett finally felt relieved. At the very least, she needed to give her people instructions before taking another day off.
"Okay! Thank you, Xander..."
"You're welcome, baby! But now, you better hurry. You're starving, and your breakfast will get cold if you stay here too long."
"How did you know I'm starving?"
"Of course, I know... we've been together long enough to know your eating habits." He smiled and urged her to start brushing her teeth.
Scarlett, "..."
She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face.
When Scarlett finished, Xander handed Scarlett clothes; a pair of denim shorts and a white shirt.
"Y-You want me to wear this?" She was surprised because this was her usual summer outfit on B Island. But this man wanted her to wear it now. Though usually at home, she only wears leggings and oversized shirts.
"Hmm! I wanted to see you wear this..." said Xander. It's autumn now. Seeing her in this outfit outside the house is impossible, right? Since they will just stay in this suite, he wanted to see her in summer clothes.
Scarlett chuckled and willingly accepted it.
Before long...
"You look beautiful, babe! Even if you only wear a casual dress like that..." He was mesmerized just looking at her coming out of the bathroom. Her hair was pulled up into a bun which revealed her long neck.
Just looking at her long neck awakened something inside him. He felt like pulling her into his arms, but he restrained himself.
Scarlett stopped right in front of him. She smiled, lifted her chip up, and pretended to be a snob princess by saying, "I know how gorgeous I am in this outfit, Mr. Riley. Thank you for the compliment, nevertheless!"
Xander chuckled. He took her hand and walked out of the room. He had ordered their breakfast early, worried it would turn cold.
As they left the bedroom and headed for the dining room, Scarlett was surprised to see Carter Riley sitting in the living room watching television.
'What the hell! Why did Carter come so early!?' Scarlett cursed in shock — she was not wearing her fake wig and contact lenses, and she had yet to allow Carter to see her natural looks.
"X-Xander..." She pulled Xander's hand to stop him while glaring at him. "W-Why did Carter come earlier? And why didn't you warn me?" she whispered.
Xander frowned. It was clear from the look in her eyes that he was annoyed to see Carter still in this room—he should have left their room after their short meeting.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Sorry, I'll explain that later. Now, go use your..." Before Xander's sentence could finish, Carter's voice was heard.
"S-sister-in-law!! OMG! It's you..." Carter's voice made Scarlett stop. There's no point in going back to the bedroom to change. Because Carter had seen her—he was now walking towards them.
Carter's eyes widened as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
He covered his open mouth, too shocked to see the girl beside his brother. Her face was exactly the same as his sister-in-law Scarlett's. Still, her eyes were not Scarlett's brown eyes. Her eyes now looked so dazzling, like the color of an emerald lake.
And what surprised him the most was her hair. How could Scarlett's hair become long and its color become ginger red!? Carter clearly recalled Scarlett's hair was gray and short.
Carter was perplexed. Lots of questions now arise in his mind.
'Does sister Scarlett have a twin?' Carter thought, and then, his face darkened. He looked at Xander with an angry look.
"Brother Xander!! Did you cheat on my sister-in-law Scarlett!? Now you also keep her twin sister in this room? How shameless you are..."
PLAK!!!
"Ough!! Why are you hitting me, brother!?" Carter stepped back, avoiding Xander while rubbing his head, annoyed.
Xander ignored him. He just stared at Scarlett, feeling awry.
"Brother Xander, You wait!! I will report this to my sister-in-law!!!" Carter glared at Xander and then looked at the woman beside his brother.
He was going to scold her. How could she have an affair with her brother-in-law? This woman is really something; she betrayed her own twin sister. That's horrendous!!
"And you..." Carter narrowed his eyes, looking at this girl. But instead of saying a word, he was amazed, bewitched by her beauty — his tongue went numb, unable to voice anything.
Carter couldn't deny that this woman was much prettier than his sister-in-law Scarlett. It was only fitting that his shameless brother would commit this heinous act. He was attracted to this girl as well.
'Damn it!! Why are all the pretty girls attracted to Xander, not me!?' Carter took out his anger in his heart, feeling that God was unfair to him.
"Why do you look at me like that, Young Master Carter?" Scarlett said while throwing her sweet smile at him.
Carter was surprised to hear this girl's voice. And her smile also looks identical to Scarlett's. How can there be twins this exact yet have different eye and hair colors!?
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but somehow lost the ability to string words. He was utterly speechless.
While Carter was still in a daze, Scarlett looked at Xander. "I'm hungry. Can we eat now, husband!?"
Her melodious voice was able to make Xander's anger vanish in an instant. He smiled back at her and led her to the dining table. Ignoring Carter, who was still standing frozen in place, watching Scarlett with a sharp gaze.
"Wait! That girl called my brother, HUSBAND!?" Carter scratched his head even though it didn't itch. "Shit!! So, that woman is really Scarlett Piers..." His eyes widened as he watched Scarlett's back move away.
Carter still couldn't believe what he was seeing. His sister-in-law, who he thinks is a tomboy because she has super short and strangely colored hair, turns out to have long hair with beautiful color.
And her eye color? Carter rarely saw that color of eyes in this country. As far as he knew, Scarlett's eye color was the eye color of the nobles in Country M. Is she really Scarlett Piers from island B or the noble family from M Country!?
Now Carter was starting to doubt Scarlett's identity!
