Chapter 399 Meet Casey Adams



\'Gosh, Why did he want to come to our base camp? What would he like to see?\' Scarlett went awry. Although she was reluctant, she also could not refuse him.

"I will ask first..." She immediately rose from her seat and called Rex.

Scarlett wastes no time relaying the news to Rex, letting him know about Xander\'s knowledge of their connection with The Fox.

"What! How did your husband find out?" Rex\'s voice echoed with surprise on the other end of the call. "Damn it! Are you telling him!?" 

"I\'m not! Xander recognized one of our men in Country X. I think he identified Seven..." Scarlett responded in a hushed tone.

"How could he recognize Seven?" Rex\'s frustration was palpable, clearly upset that Xander had discovered their organization.

"If only I knew!" Scarlett said. She positioned herself in a corner, ensuring that Xander didn\'t overhear her conversation with Rex.

"Does he also know about us, the core team?" Rex asked, his irritation easing.

"I\'m not certain. I\'ll check on him later." Scarlett said, taking a deep breath before continuing, "So, can he accompany us to our base camp?"

There was hesitation in Rex\'s response. "This... I\'m..."

"Brother, I can\'t refuse him. You know him, right!?" Scarlett pleaded.

After a brief moment of silence, Rex finally relented. "Fine! I\'ll be at your place in thirty minutes!"

****

After thirty minutes had passed, Xander and Scarlett waited for Rex\'s arrival in the living room downstairs.

Scarlett had wrapped herself in a thick black coat and draped a red wool scarf around her neck, protecting herself from the biting cold of the night.

"Babe, are you really not sleepy!?" Xander asked. He was confused to see that she was still refreshed. Her eyes showed no sign of tiredness, even though it was the middle of the night.

"No, I feel wide awake," she replied with a grin, resting her head on his shoulder.

Xander placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Before saying, "But you can\'t stay up all night, my love. You\'re pregnant, and you need sufficient rest," he expressed his concern.

"I understand. I promise it\'s only for tonight. The Fox base camp is quite a distance away. I\'ll try to catch some sleep in the car," she reassured him.

Xander nodded, reaching for his phone to check something.

Soon, the butler entered the room and informed them that Rex had just arrived.

As Scarlett made her way to the front yard, she spotted Rex driving, accompanied by a woman seated in the passenger seat. She was taken aback when she recognized the woman.

"Casey!?" Scarlett exclaimed in a hushed voice, approaching the car. At the same time, Casey greeted her with a sweet smile as she stepped out of the vehicle. "Wow! Casey, you also come!?" she adds. 

"My little girl Scarlett, I miss you so much!" Casey embraces her tightly. "After so many days busy with filming and taking a few days off," she added, releasing the hug.

"Sis, I\'m so happy to meet you!" Scarlett holds her hand. 

"Scarlett, Casey, continue your conversation inside," Rex interrupted their chat. "We need to leave now; it\'s freezing outside."

Scarlett nodded and gestured for Casey to join her in the back seat. Then, she turned to Xander. "Hubby, can you sit in the front with Rex? I want to chat with Casey," she requested, flashing a sweet smile and playfully batting her eyelashes.

Xander could only nod, unable to resist her request, especially when she addressed him as "Hubby" in front of others. It melted his heart.

...

As soon as they settled into the car, Scarlett initiated the conversation.

"Sis Casey, I apologize for not contacting you in the past few days. I didn\'t want to disturb you since I heard from Uncle Harvey that you were busy filming," Scarlett said apologetically.

"Yes, we\'ve been quite busy. But how could I leave my boyfriend alone in this city?" Casey giggled, stealing a quick glance at Rex, who was driving the car.

"Oh, you\'ve been together for the past two days?" Scarlett narrowed her eyes at Casey. It explained why Rex hadn\'t called her at all; he was busy with his girlfriend. Gosh!

Casey smiled and gestured for Scarlett to come closer. She whispered, "Litlle sis, actually, we\'re staying in a small villa up in the mountains." Her face flushed red as her mind wandered to the activities they had engaged in there.

Scarlett felt delighted seeing Casey like this. She could tell Casey was deeply in love; her eyes sparkled as she spoke about Rex.

"So, you two... have you... you know what I mean, right? Ugh, did you guys already... sleep together?" Scarlett asked in a hushed tone, ensuring only Casey could hear her.

Casey burst into laughter. "Hahaha, do you think we\'re still teenagers? Of course, we have," her voice trailed off when she realized she had laughed a bit too loudly. She quickly covered her mouth in shock.

Scarlett couldn\'t help but laugh along. "Is it true?" she asked again in a whisper. 

Casey nodded with a mischievous grin, her face turning red as she imagined the passionate moments she had shared with Rex in the villa. They had never left the place, spending their time together like a couple on a honeymoon.

"Congratulations, sis Casey. I\'m genuinely happy for you. I hope my brother proposes to you soon," Scarlett expressed sincerely. She felt happy for Casey as she had finally managed to capture Rex\'s heart.

This was the first time Scarlett had seen Rex being serious about a woman. As far as she knew, Rex had never shown such affection or asked women to date. It puzzled Scarlett because Rex had always maintained a cold attitude toward women. He had even confessed to never sleeping with the same woman. How peculiar! Yet now, it seemed he was also in love with Casey.

Scarlett discreetly smiled as she observed Rex from behind. She is proud of him for moving on from their past and embracing a new relationship.
