Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Luna Miller had never thought that such a thing would happen just after returning, but thinking of how Atlas Hallow came to pick her up in the middle of the night, she couldn’t help but feel a bit happy.

It seemed to be raining outside, and on the rainy night, the glass reflected a face that was exceedingly exquisite, but it was too beautiful, beautiful like a mask meticulously painted by someone.

A pair of almond-shaped eyes were larger than before, with deep double eyelids seemingly carved by a knife, a straight and prominent nose ridge, and even her skin seemed to be soaked in water, emitting a transparent whiteness, which startled Daniel Parker when he saw it.

Now, Luna Miller looked like a beautiful doll in a shop window, but why did she seem like a mannequin?

If one had poor eyesight, it would be hard to recognize her, feeling completely different from the Luna Miller of the past.

”Why is it you? Where is Atlas Hallow?” Luna Miller was displeased upon seeing Daniel Parker; why was it Atlas Hallow’s assistant?

”President Hallow is surely resting at this time.” Daniel Parker looked as if she was truly asking redundant questions. Would he personally come when the sky was still hazy?

Daniel Parker understood the situation: Luna Miller had just returned to the country and was robbed on the way, losing everything except the phone she was using. Her ID card, passport, wallet, and other belongings were stolen. After filing a report, the police took her to the station for a statement, but found her appearance had greatly differed from her earlier ID photo, hence requesting her family to come pick her up.

The Miller Family had long dissolved. Charles Miller had gone to the United States with Freya Morgon, and Luna Miller had no family in the country to come for her, leaving only Charlotte Miller.

But she hated Charlotte Miller with a passion; why sell everything of the Miller Family and freeze all her cards?

Thankfully, Jack Smith was willing to give her some money, allowing her to sneak off to South Korea, and now she returned more beautiful. She would like to see Charlotte Miller’s thoughts upon seeing her again.

Not only was her face altered, but her whole body was redone as well. Men love novelty, don’t they?

Presumably, Jack Smith and Atlas Hallow feel the same?

Yet Atlas Hallow didn’t come to pick her up, leaving her utterly dejected.

Like dressing up perfectly only for no one to watch her perform, the entire stage felt empty.

Jack Smith was filming out of town, and Atlas Hallow had his assistant come but did not show up himself.

After completing all procedures and issuing a temporary ID, Daniel Parker called Atlas Hallow to report the progress.

Atlas Hallow was already awake, though he should have been catching up on sleep, he couldn’t fall asleep.

With enough movement, he felt an unobstructed flow in his body, standing in dim light, fingers lightly caressing Charlotte Miller’s little face; she slept as if under a spell, allowing his touch without a trace of reaction.

In the midst of even breaths, occasionally a cute little snore could be heard as if it were a kitten fast asleep in its owner’s arms.

But he still felt it wasn’t enough just watching her, so he hugged her, keeping her in his embrace, breathing intertwined, filling the air with a sweet scent.

When would he ever be this attached? Atlas Hallow wondered, but looking at Charlotte Miller’s sleeping face, beautiful like untainted by mortal worries, yet she was tender and warm in his arms—how could any man let go?

Wishing to hold her like this, until death do them part...

When the phone rang, he picked it up. Given the circumstances, even if he made the call, the little girl in his arms wouldn’t wake up.

Last night, he might have indeed been a bit too rough, making it hard for her to bear.

”President Hallow, I’ve completed the procedures; Miss Miller was robbed of all her documents and cash. I’ve now arranged a hotel for her to stay. Is there anything else you need me to do?” Daniel Parker handed Luna Miller the room card, ensuring her temporary stay since the Miller Family’s house had been sold; Luna Miller could only stay at a hotel now.

”Understood, that’s all for now.” Daniel Parker was efficient. Atlas Hallow set down the phone, hugged Charlotte Miller, and kissed her softly on the lips: ”Your sister told me you attract peach blossoms all your life, but it’s okay, I’ll pluck every blossom I see, cut down every field of peach blossoms, you’re only allowed to entice me, understand?”
