THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Xander?"
Her voice was utterly soft in the dead quiet of the dark night.

Her lips parted softly as she exhaled and her warm breath brushed past Xander's ear. He felt his body unconsciously stiffen.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to touch his body and called his name in such a gentle voice. Hearing her calling him like that made his frustration from earlier on witnessing her with Lucas, disappear.

Her voice soothed his agitated heart but still a bit of anxiety was left. He was anxious.
What if she now decided to leave him?

It was said that when a person experiences a life and death situation, a change appears in them.
It was his fault that she was in such a condition this time so would she leave him now.

On the contrary, Scarlett wasn't thinking about this at all. She felt a different sensation on seeing him so close to her.
There was an apparent joy in her eyes along with a trace of anticipation which made her hold her breath unconsciously.

There was only one thing going on in her mind at this moment- he wished me!!!!

Oh my god! Finally! He wished me!
I'm so happy I can die in peace.
But wait...no, that isn't right. I still have to spend a really long time with him and make more memories so no I don't want to die this early.

At this thought, her delicate brows knitted together into a small frown.
But Xander who noticed it immediately couldn't help but subconsciously lean his body forward and a soft and warm touch was there on her forehead. He pecked her so gently and softly as if wanting to make all her worries disappear.
He did not want her to worry about a single thing.

And his action worked. The frown on her face soon turned into a beautiful smile that looked so dazzling on her charming face. Her soft voice uttered,
"Thank you, husband."

She did it deliberately. She knew what she said, however, she had been wanting to say that for a long time but this time, she had let go of inhibitions just for this night and finally uttered the word that always came to her mind whenever she saw this perfectly sculpted cold but beautiful face.

Xander's eyes widened a little on hearing the way she addressed him.
Did she just say husband? Am i dreaming?
He couldn't help but think that maybe he was hallucinating but there was still that undetectable tenderness that appeared in his usually cold eyes at this very moment.

The emotions in his eyes flickered.
Of course, the ruthless and cunning billionaire would not just believe it if a person suddenly decided to change their stance. She has never been acceptable to this marriage before, always trying to distance herself from him so why would now she suddenly changed and try to accept him?

He doesn't know what's going in her mind. But if she has actually changed or not, it doesn't matter, for he has always loved her and he would always love her.

Although, that's what he thought, he still would want to know if she has truly accepted him or is there something else going on.

Scarlett, on the other hand, was very amused watching the flurry of emotions in his eyes. They went from shock to excitement to doubt.
She knew he must be doubtful. Obviously, who wouldn't?
