淑女的欲望

Chapter 204 Meet Jonathan Piers



When Scarlett entered the living room, she saw her father sitting on one of the sofas. She smiled and walked towards him, with Xander following behind.

Today was the first time Scarlett saw her father in this house again, after the last time she fought with him after the incident that made her leave the house.

At that time, Scarlett really hated her father. However, her hatred slowly faded after learning that her father was not involved in Lauren\'s plan to drug her and wanted to sell her to Frans.

Still, Scarlett hasn\'t completely forgiven him for what happened during Lauren\'s stay in this house. That evil woman torments all the workers in this house, including her, but her father turns a blind eye like he doesn\'t care.

But again, when she saw him near death, she became softer towards him and tried to forgive him. After all, this man was her biological father, who had raised her until now.

"Why are you still standing there?" Jonathan Piers smiled, seeing Scarlett standing right before him, looking at him with teary eyes.

"Don\'t cry! Your father is healthy now. I won\'t die young, and that\'s according to Dr. Robert! You trust Dr. Robert, right? Hahaha," Jonathan continued his words with a laugh, then stood up and hugged Scarlett.

Scarlett could only laugh at her father\'s words. She returned the embrace, before saying, "Dad, sit back, don\'t tire yourself!"

Then Scarlett looked at Xander, who was still standing behind her. She motioned for him to join them.

"Dad, you must know this man beside me, right?" Scarlett smiled as she watched her father rise from his chair, ignoring her words, but his eyes were clearly only on Xander. Gosh!

She continued, "His name is Xander Riley, my husband!"

"Welcome, Mr. Xander Riley, to our humble hut. It is nice to finally meet you... I\'m Jonathan Piers, Scarlett\'s father." Jonathan Piers said as he held out his hand for a handshake — he seemed to be making his first acquaintance with his business partner.

Scarlett chuckled at how rigid her father was. How can he talk to Xander like he\'s talking to his boss? Did he not realize the man in front of him was his son-in-law!?

"Mr. Piers, nice to meet you too. And I\'m really sorry for only meeting you formally now." Xander politely said as he accepted Jonathan Piers\' handshake.

Scarlett, speechless. Her husband is the worst! How dare he talk to his father-in-law like that? Not wanting to get involved in their conversation, she ignores them and asks Aunt Lana to bring her something to drink and eat. Then she plays with her cell phone.

After Jonathan and Xander talked about the business world, Jonathan suddenly realized something.

"Xander, can I call you Xander?" Jonathan was delighted to be able to talk and meet Xander Riley, the top leader in the business chain for young people of his age.

"Yes. Of course, sir!" For the first time, Xander smiles at Jonathan Piers.

"Xander, you can call me father, just like Scarlett called me!" Jonathan said, but then his eyes saw a pile of gifts. "...W-Why are you bringing so many gifts, Xander?"

"Not much. Just some vitamins and a few things you might need..." Xander said but was greeted with a bitter laugh by Scarlett.

"T-This... this is still too much!" Jonathan saw several well-known wine brands. The price is very high and rare, so only certain people can purchase it.

"Father, consider this a gift from Scarlett and me." Xander then glanced at his wife, who was busy eating beside him.

Only then did Jonathan remember Scarlett. Earlier, he had been so engrossed in talking to Xander that he had forgotten his daughter.

He looked at her but then shook his head, seeing his daughter had finished eating a few slices of her favorite cake.

"Daughter, tsk, you eat three slices of cake? You will be full before our dinner…." Jonathan chuckled.

Scarlett, "..."

"Alright, I\'ll borrow your husband first! There\'s something I want to talk about with him." Jonathan said and stood up from his seat. He motioned for Xander to follow him.

Scarlett was shocked.

Want to talk alone with Xander?

"Father! What do you want to talk to him about? Let me come with you..." She worriedly said as she followed them towards her father\'s home office.

"I\'m sorry you can\'t. You stay. I want to talk about men\'s things with my son-in-law." Jonathan said and entered the room.

Xander smiled as soon as he saw a nervous smile in her eyes, "Baby, wait here! I\'ll be fine..." he gently patted her back.

Seeing him smile made Scarlett smile too. She said, "I know. I was just afraid dad would talk about my bad habits!"

Xander lowered his head slightly, then brought his face closer to Scarlett, "Even so... I will still love you, Scarlett Piers!!" he whispered. Then kiss her lips.

Scarlett was stunned.

How dare this man kiss her here? When some of the maids could see them.

Instantly Scarlett looked around, afraid that someone might see them.

Before Scarlett could scold him, Xander had already entered the room and closed the door.

Sigh!

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Scarlett took a deep breath as she chuckled in disbelief.

Not wanting to disturb them, she decides to look for Aunt Lana. There were many things she wanted to talk about.

...

Scarlett rushed to the maids\' area at the back of the house.

She didn\'t immediately enter when she arrived at an exclusive lounge like a dining room. However, she saw Adams and Lana together —alone in the room.

They were seen chatting at the dining table while sitting side by side. Occasionally Lana was seen happily laughing as if she had just heard a joke from Adams.

Scarlett could only smile happily, seeing their closeness.

Suddenly an idea flashed through Scarlett\'s mind. Her smile grew wider as she entered the room.

"Young miss, why did you come here? Just call us if you need anything..." Lana immediately stood up and approached Scarlett.
