As Xander and Walter Riley joined the rest of the family for lunch, Xander spotted Scarlett standing by the side table. Xander couldn't help but worry when he saw her. He quickly walked up to her and took her hand, squeezing it gently.
"Baby, are you doing okay?" he whispered, his voice filled with concern.
Scarlett looked up at him, and the corners of her lips curved into a playful smile. "Do I look like someone bullying me?" she teased, her eyes sparkling mischievously.
Xander's heart lightened at her response, and he grinned at her. "No, you look beautiful as always," he said, relieved she seemed alright.
'Gosh! Why did this man start trapping me in his honey trap again?' Scarlett shook her head.
As Scarlett and Xander sat in their seats, the rest of the family greeted them warmly, especially Carter.
Happy reading!
