After a few minutes, Xander picked up the shopping bag and headed back to the bedroom.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he entered the room. The girl is now sleeping on the floor with a white bed cover as a mattress. She was immersed in reading something on her cell phone with her back facing him — she was oblivious to his presence.
'This girl would rather sleep on the floor than sleep with me!?' Instantly he felt a nameless anger well up within him. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Xander's icy tone made Scarlett flinch and sit up straight in surprise. She can see, his face looks dark with raised eyebrows. He definitely didn't look in a good mood.
She smiles at him, saying, "Xander, I will sleep here. You can sleep on the bed peacefully. And..."
"Who told you to sleep on the floor? Get up and sleep on the bed!" He commanded. Though he didn't like someone sharing a bed with him, he was a gentleman.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ How could he let a woman sleep on the floor?
If his mother in heaven knew, she might scold him.
"No thanks. I feel more comfortable sleeping here. Besides, my sleeping habits will make you suffer." She couldn't make Xander know about her other flaws.
Xander gritted his teeth to hold back his anger. He was afraid to say something to hurt her feelings, so he secretly exhaled deeply to vent his anger.
With a forced smile tugging at the corners of his lips, he said, "Let me sleep on the floor. You sleep there…" he walked and placed the shopping bag on the bed. "Here are clothes you can wear tomorrow."
Scarlett ignored the shopping bag on the bed, her mind was too busy thinking about Xander going to sleep on the floor.
This Master Xander was going to give up his bed on her? How dare she allow that?
If people out there found out she let Xander Riley sleep on the floor, they would probably slaughter her. No, never! She wouldn't let Xander sleep on the floor.
"Xander, I'm used to sleeping on the floor. So it's fine for me to sleep here." Scarlett said seriously.
She was sure that a noble like Xander would never experience a difficult life in his life, just like an ordinary commoner, like her.
Xander, who was about to enter the bathroom, stopped. He looked back at Scarlett. For a while, he just stared at her without saying a word. Before he saw the girl open her mouth, he said, "I'll give you two choices!"
Scarlett frowned. Two choices!?
"One, I sleep on the floor, and you sleep on the bed." He said with a straight face. It made Scarlett speechless. "Second, we sleep together in the bed!"
She appeared calm but was internally shivering with the second idea, and her downcast eyes were filled with worry.
"Don't worry. I will never touch you unless you want me to. You can be sure of that..." Said Xander, and then he disappeared behind the bathroom door.
Scarlett was stunned to see him walk away without giving her a chance to say anything.
'I'm not worried about you! But, I'm worried about myself. How can I bear to sleep with a man as handsome as you? Did you know that you are one of those men who are so hard to resist, Mr. Xander Riley!!'
She couldn't help but sigh deeply while her eyes never left the bathroom door.
After a while...
Xander almost laughed at what he witnessed when he came out of the bathroom. He saw the girl lying on the bed, wrapping herself with a blanket and in the middle of the bed was a pillow, leaving only one side for him.
Did she think the pillow could block him if he wanted to touch her? What a simple-minded woman!
A smile tugged at Xander's lips as he turned off the light leaving only a dim light at the end of the room. Then, he slowly climbed into bed, worried the girl might wake up.
Even though the room was dark, he could still clearly see Scarlett sleeping motionlessly with her back facing him.
Is she really asleep?
He had only been in the bathroom a few minutes, and this girl was already asleep. He grinned as a thought crossed his mind, 'She must be frightening to sleep with me, right!?'
That's understandable!
'Girls! I will never touch you. I promise you!' His grin suddenly disappeared. His eyes glowed with a determined look, '...unless you are willing!'
After a few moments, he turned his gaze to look for the ceiling. He closed his eyes, trying to sleep. However, he heard the girl talking to him.
He turned to see her, stunned, looking at her beautiful eyes staring back at him.
"Xander, tomorrow morning I have to go to island B..."
She already had the information she needed. And she decided to go there to check on her father's condition. In addition, she also wants to pick up her nanny.
This afternoon, her nanny texted that she had resigned from the Piers household and was ready to move in with her in the capital.
"What's the time?" Xander already knows. Surely this girl will go to island B after knowing what happened there.
"Looks like I can't have breakfast with grandpa..." She said regretfully.
"Alright! I'll ask Logan to accompany you. And you can use my jet..."
"No need, I will go alone." She couldn't stay on island B for long because she had a dinner party tomorrow night. And she had promised to attend.
Xander is worried about letting her go to island B alone. Worried that her stepmother might do something evil to her.
"But, I need your jet. I won't turn it down." Scarlett continued her words and smiled when she saw Xander nod.
Xander didn't say another word. Likewise with Scarlett. The room became quiet again, and soon he could hear Scarlett fast asleep. He opened his eyes and strolled out of the room.
He needed to make some arrangements.
