After inwardly cursing himself, Theodor cleared his throat and responded, "Well, my sister-in-law mentioned earlier that she intended to visit Country M early this year. So, I offered to be her travel guide there." He provided the safest answer he could, subtly shifting the blame onto Scarlett while she was asleep. Moreover, he believed Xander wouldn't suspect that he had known Scarlett before their meeting yesterday, right?
Xander nodded and smiled, glad that Scarlett had changed her mind. To him, it would be beneficial if Theodor could assist Scarlett in her plan to uncover her mother's whereabouts.
"Alright, see you soon, man!" Xander bid farewell and climbed into the car. Once settled in, he gently rested Scarlett's head on his lap and instructed Logan to start the vehicle.
It was almost midnight when their car arrived at Scarlett's apartment. Coincidentally, Scarlett woke up from her slumber at the same time.
