Soon Scarlett arrived at the dining room.

Just as she had imagined, this Ice Prince greeted her with his sour expression — as if someone had just rubbed a lemon in his handsome face. He looks scary and amusing at the same time.

She smiled sweetly at him, trying to make this man less irritated. Then she said, "Xander, I\'m sorry…."

"Have you forgotten the rules I told you before?" Xander said when he saw Scarlett enter the dining room, followed by her two maids.

Xander was displeased. This was the first time he had waited for someone in his entire life. Even his grandfather had never kept him waiting. This woman is so bold to challenge his temper.

Scarlett was speechless. She maintained a calm expression as she entered the dining room and walked toward the table. Just before she was about to say something, she heard Erica say,

"Master, it\'s our fault… We delayed Young Madam. Please punish us, Master..." Erica\'s voice was soft and trembling as if she was willing to accept her punishment but afraid to die simultaneously.

Scarlett was surprised to hear Erica. How could this girl defend her? She doesn\'t need it. She could handle this Ice Prince.

"Yes, Master, we will accept your punishment. We deserve it, so please punish us. This is our fault. Not the young madam\'s fault..." Maddy joined hands to protect Scarlett.

\'Geez! Erica, Maddy... you both are too faithful. But, can you stop doing that!? Just let me handle my own business, okay!?\' She scolded them inside her heart as she looked back over her neck at the two girls behind her.

After seeing them standing there with their pale faces looking at the marble floor, she gave a low sigh and looked at Xander. She was surprised to meet his sharp eyes looking at her.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom For a few seconds, she calmed her racing heart. She said with a gentle tone and some sweet words, "Uhm… Babe, Xander… can you let them go? My delay has nothing to do with them. So please, can you forgive me this time, babe!?"

Xander was shocked when he heard this girl call him \'babe.\' Did something hit her head? Why did she suddenly change her attitude!? He didn\'t say anything. He just stared at her expressionlessly.

Why did he say nothing?

Scarlett cursed this Ice Prince in her heart.

\'Can you also act? We\'re on the first floor. We have to put on a good show, right babe?\' She wanted to say that, but the words stopped on the tip of her tongue.

Her two maids weren\'t wrong. So, she would do anything to keep them from being punished. That\'s why she tried to plead for them — even though she had just met them, she felt that the two of them were good. She didn\'t want Xander to suddenly replace Maddy and Erica with someone new.

If you don\'t want me to call you \'babe\', that\'s fine!

"Oo... My husband Xander, can you hear me!?" Scarlett dared to meet his piercing eyes, even though her heart sank slightly.

Xander, "..."

Scarlett didn\'t know how long they had been doing the staring contest because she was too busy calming her heart not to waver.

Before long, Xander finally raised his hand and waved slightly, as if ordering two maids to leave the dining room.

Scarlett instantly felt relieved and asked her maid to leave before Xander changed his mind.

"So, why are you late?"

He clearly said dinner at seven. But this girl dared to show her face fifteen minutes late!?

"Sorry, I overslept. And I forgot to set the timer…." Scarlett said. She knew she was wrong here. But you don\'t need to put on that long sour face, please.

Xander didn\'t say a word. He only asked her to sit down.

Scarlett was too lazy to argue with him. Now, she only needed to eat and return to her room. She had to call another man with a similar attitude to this annoying Ice Prince.

\'Gosh! Handling one domineering man is tiring, and now I have to handle two!? God, can you have mercy on me?\'

Scarlett let out a long sigh as she sat down in her chair and stole a glance at the man across from her. She was relieved that his face looked slightly softened, unlike before, and he also started picking up cutlery.

"Let\'s eat!" Xander said after the waiter finished serving their dinner.

She didn\'t say anything. She just gave a slight nod and started to eat too.

The table setting in this house is bizarre. They eat at the same table but sit far apart. Xander sits at one end of the table while Scarlett sits at the other. A table about 4 meters long, and only the two were there.

They were seen as Masters and servants eating at the same table, not as husband and wife.

This was the most awkward situation Scarlett had ever been in since she met this Ice Prince. And she might die if this awkwardness continued too long. She hoped dinner would be over soon.

Silently, she put food into her mouth while thinking about many things. And when gossip about Xander with Angela Lane comes to mind, it makes her remember that she needs to talk about it with Xander.

Scarlett slowly raised her head to look at the Ice Prince opposite her. After she finished her dinner, she worked up the courage to ask him.

"Xander, there\'s something I want to clarify with you..." She stopped when she saw him staring at her with his bright, sapphire-blue eyes. She felt a little tense.

"What is it?"

"Do you remember the agreement we made at the hospital? You said I couldn\'t date or have close male friends..."

"Yes, I remember. So?" He frowned.

"Does that rule apply to you too?"

"Absolutely!"

This time it was Scarlett who frowned. If those rules apply to him, why is he still meeting that woman!? And the news about them being a trending topic on several social media?

"But Xander, wh..."

Xander raises his hand to stop her from speaking, "Don\'t believe the trash news out there. Just trust me!" His voice was firmer, and his eyes radiated honesty.
