Chapter 491 Change Nationality

Roland couldn't help but laugh upon hearing Scarlett scold her husband.

"Scarlett, don't blame my son-in-law. I asked him to keep this secret from you. So, it's not his fault... but your father's fault." Roland smiled while glancing at her. "How about it? Does it suit your taste?"

Scarlett was speechless.

This walk-in closet was identical to the one in her house, making her feel like she was at home. She walked deeper into the closet, checking the contents inside the shelves and drawers.

As she inspected the items, she couldn't help but chuckle. She began to suspect that Xander had moved her clothing and accessories into this closet.

Scarlett approached her father and said, "Father, would you like an honest answer?" Seeing him nod, she continued, "It's the same as what I have in my house..." She felt amused when she saw her father's surprised expression. "Well, now I am suspicious my husband moved all my clothes here?"

"What? Did he do that? A week ago, I asked him to speak with my butler. But, I didn't know—" Before Roland could finish his words, Xander, leaning casually in the doorframe, chimed in.

"Father, these aren't used items," Xander calmly explained while turning his gaze towards Scarlett, who narrowed her eyes at him. "—So, I had my people purchase new clothing, accessories, and everything she has in her walk-in closet at our house, of course, it will look the same."

Scarlett, "..."

She wanted to scold Xander for wasting money but refrained because she already knew how he would reply. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

"Hahaha, that's a clever move, my son-in-law..." Roland raised his thumbs to praise Xander. "Alright, you guys can rest for now. I will send someone to call you when lunch is ready." He said and left.

After Roland left, Scarlett couldn't help but lie down on the soft bed while looking at Xander, who lay beside her with a broad smile that never left his handsome face.

"You seem happy being called that?" Scarlett teased him, noticing Xander's reaction when her father called him "son-in-law."

"Hmm, I'm happy because your father called me that..." Xander pulled Scarlett closer to lie in his arms as they gazed at the ceiling and continued their conversation.

"Babe, if your mother is found, will you decide to move to this country and change your nationality too?" Xander asked casually, but Scarlett detected a trace of concern in his voice.

Xander's question caught her off guard. She had never considered that possibility. She realized she was born in Country W and had its nationality, but neither of her parents was from that country. Her mother was from Country X, while her father was a former king from this country.

Scarlett was momentarily puzzled and didn't know how to answer Xander's question. However, after a few moments of deep thought, when her mind cleared, she smiled and raised her head to look into Xander's eyes.

"Xander, why do you ask that?" She saw Xander's confusion and quickly continued, "...I mean, whether my nationality changes to M or X, it doesn't matter. I am your legal wife and will follow you wherever you are..."

"But—"

Scarlett placed her finger on Xander's lips to halt his words. She didn't want to hear them.

"Are you afraid I'll stay here if my mother remains in this country?"

Xander nodded.

"As I said, I am your legal wife. We will return to Country W after we find my mother. Besides, we'll see whether my mother agrees to marry my father or not..." Scarlett said firmly.

Xander was pleased to hear Scarlett's words, but her final words surprised him. "Baby, you mean... there's a possibility that your mother will refuse your father?" he asked, clearly taken aback.

"Hmm, this is just my gut feeling. But, considering my mother's nature as an assassin, I think there might be something that made her run away from my father," Scarlett replied. She had been thinking about this lately but had never wanted to discuss it with anyone, especially her father.

"Can you explain it to me!?" Xander felt even more confused by her vague response.

Scarlett smiled and began to share her doubts.

A few minutes later, Xander was shocked and silent for a moment. What Scarlett said seemed to be true.

"This is complicated!" Xander said while taking a deep breath.

"Yeah, indeed! Alright, let's stop talking about it. This is just my speculation. It may not necessarily be true," she said with a faint smile.

...

Scarlett and Xander continued to lie down, resting their eyes. However, before long, Scarlett's phone vibrated. She quickly checked the caller and was surprised to see Mel Tan's name on the phone screen.

"Xander," Scarlett stood up from the bed. "I have to answer Sis Mel's phone call..." She said, then sat on the edge of the bed. "Hello, Sister Mel," she greeted her cheerfully, simultaneously excited to hear Mel's news.

"Hi, Scarlett. Can we talk now? I have something important to report..." Mel said.

Hearing Mel's positive tone from the other end made Scarlett's heart beat slightly faster, excited about the news regarding her mother that she was about to hear.

"Yes, sis. Please... You may speak now."

"Well, I don't have much information to share right now, but I think this could lead us to find your mother..." Mel started explaining everything she had learned from her technology: facial recognition.

Mel continued, "Do you remember that I began to locate your mother after using an image predicting what she might look like at her current age?"

"Yes, I remember."

"I discovered a match in Norway through my facial recognition system. Interestingly, this is also where I detected a lead using an old photo of your mother. I found a face resembling the photo while reviewing airport CCTV footage from two years ago."

Scarlett's heart pounded upon hearing that. If the recording was from two years ago, it meant her mother was still alive.

"S-Sister M-Mel, are you sure about that?" Her voice shook with excitement at this new information.
