Chapter 49: Promise

"The man you married, who is he!?"

Just when Scarlett thought Rex was no longer interested in talking about her contract marriage. Turns out she was wrong.

'Oh, God!? Why is he asking that?'

Scarlett could only laugh bitterly in her heart. Since then, she had avoided mentioning Xander. But in the end, he still asks. She deliberately kept Xander's name hidden because she didn't want Rex to do anything to him — in this case, Xander wasn't wrong. Instead, Xander is her savior.

'Should I tell him?' For some reason, Scarlett was reluctant to say it. She slowly lowered her head, looking at her interlocked hands to avoid his calm yet intimidating gaze.

After a few moments of not hearing a word from him, Scarlett slowly raised her head to look at him. But to her surprise, Rex looked the other way, behind her. This is better! Looking into his eyes, for some reason, made her unable to form simple words and use her brain.
