Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

”No.” Such a straightforward invitation made her a bit embarrassed, Charlotte bit her lip and refused.

”Really don’t want to?” His fingers gently glided over her arm, his voice in the air carried a full magnetism and temptation.

Always by Mia’s side, occasionally accompanying him wasn’t too much, Charlotte said sweetly, ”What’s the benefit of staying with you?”

”What benefit do you want? My person is yours already, what else can I give you?” Atlas Hallow held her, feeling every inch of her body’s lines conforming, soft and resilient, he really missed her.

The connection of spirit and flesh made him madly want to entwine with her day and night endlessly.

He had reached the limit, so he didn’t want to endure anymore.

Now the Securities Regulatory Commission is investigating the source of funds that Flix Hallow used to manipulate Hallow Clan’s shares. Hopefully, things will be concluded soon, and he probably won’t be able to cling onto her office anymore.

After being managed by Flix Hallow for a few months, Hallow Clan has become extremely disorganized.

Once he kicks Flix Hallow out, there will be a period where he’ll be so busy it’ll be impossible to properly accompany her.

Once all this is over, he wants to immediately hold a wedding with her, whether she agrees or not, he’ll tie her up if he has to.

”Let’s eat first, I’m hungry.” Atlas Hallow’s intentions were too obvious. Although they already had a child together, his direct invitation still made her a bit shy.

Surely, they can’t be shameless like that when it’s not even dark yet?

”I should really feed you properly, lest you faint halfway through...” The man’s chuckle resonated, it seemed he wouldn’t need to sleep in the office tonight.

Her rest room was indeed small, not enough space for thorough enjoyment.

Taking advantage of Charlotte changing clothes, he happily called Daniel Parker, ”Book me a room tonight.”

The hotel he usually stays at doesn’t need further explanation, Daniel Parker knows where to book.

”A room?” Daniel Parker chuckled, saying, it’s been almost two months, stubbornly staying in Charlotte’s office.

Did he finally win her over?

”Do you want me to set up the room, maybe open a bottle of red wine for a boost?” Daniel Parker casually bantered, not expecting Atlas Hallow to actually thank him.

Thank you, what does that mean?

He was about to leave work, does he really need to go to the hotel and set it up, and bring red wine there?

”Roses should be pink, champagne pink as well, and prepare the black truffle chocolates she likes.” Atlas Hallow watched as Charlotte finished changing and walked out, even the simplest summer dress couldn’t hide her beauty.

”That’s all...” Hanging up Daniel Parker’s call, he looked at Charlotte with admiration and tenderness, a year joyous for Charlotte surviving.

”What do you want to eat?” Atlas Hallow wrapped an arm around Charlotte’s waist, opened the office door, and walked out.

”Hotpot, the spicy kind.” This damned weather, hot and uncomfortable, made her want to eat something spicy.

”It’s too hard on the stomach, how about I take you somewhere else?” Atlas Hallow frowned, her stomach wasn’t great either, eating too much would only make her uncomfortable.

”What good suggestions can you have? You guys love those official cuisines, can’t we try something new?” Charlotte pouted, Atlas Hallow always liked taking her to eat official cuisine, abalone, ginseng, sea cucumber, she didn’t dislike it but didn’t like it either.

”Let’s keep it simple today, but you should like it.” Atlas Hallow led Charlotte into the elevator while instructing the restaurant over the phone to prepare.

Charlotte found that once summer hit, she was almost unable to survive; the weather was unbearably hot. However, the courtyard in Ge Wu’s house was exceptionally cool, and she didn’t know why, which made Mia much more comfortable living there. She would indeed miss it when moving out later.

While she’s on the phone with her mommy, explaining she won’t be going back, she watched Atlas Hallow drive the car to a restaurant’s entrance.

In this scorching weather, he brought her to eat porridge?

”Atlas Hallow, can we change?” Charlotte tugged on Atlas Hallow’s sleeve, speaking softly.

After getting out of the car and taking a few steps, it seemed like sweat was about to break out on her, she wanted something spicy to refresh herself.

”No.” Atlas Hallow refused without hesitation, when she’s not feeling well, he couldn’t bear her discomfort, so he wanted her to eat something mild.

Half embracing, half carrying, he took Charlotte inside.

”Mr. Hallow, I’m almost done, just wait ten more minutes.” The shop isn’t big, just a middle-aged man smiling as he greeted Atlas Hallow before ducking into the kitchen.

A clean little store with bright windows and neat doors, a colored carp flag hanging as a symbol on the kitchen door, a few green plants indoors, and the air conditioning temperature was just right, making it not annoying.

Empty, should have been booked by Atlas Hallow.

When did he learn to be like Joshua Hughes, booking a whole place whenever he went?

However, in such a restless summer, sitting here and seeing the busy street through the glass surprisingly instilled a vague sense of happiness and contentment.

Atlas Hallow took the bowls and chopsticks from the rack, knowing his way around.

He frequents here a lot? Possibly because Atlas Hallow’s stomach isn’t well either, and porridge is good for the stomach, so he’s a regular here.

She sat by the window, the smell of food already wafting through the air, the steaming kitchen seemingly conveying the real essence of life, saturated with the scent of smoke and fire.

Atlas Hallow took a straw mat from under the table and placed it on the table, and as soon as he placed it, the cook rushed over with a clay pot.

When the clay pot was placed on the table, it was still bubbling away, the porridge simmered very thickly, as if all the rice grains had dissolved.

The cook then brought over a large tray with several side dishes inside.

Smoked fish, drunken shrimp, spicy crab, fermented edamame, salted duck egg from Gaoyou, surprisingly started to pique her appetite.

Atlas Hallow served her a small bowl of porridge, and then cautiously reminded, ”This porridge is very hot, be careful while eating.”

He really has changed a lot, Charlotte looked at Atlas Hallow’s dashing face, smiled slightly, then picked up the spoon and tasted it; the porridge was unexpectedly delicious, not your ordinary plain porridge.

”How is it? I think it should be good, Ge Wu is the pickiest eater in the world. If he eats somewhere and comes back a second time, then it can’t be bad.” Atlas Hallow wasn’t as picky as Ge Wu, so he believed that a place Ge Wu frequented must be good.

”Yes, it’s really good.” Charlotte drinking while asking Atlas Hallow, ”Have you been in touch with Joshua Hughes recently? I can’t seem to find Avery Jane.”

Charlotte felt a bit strange; she hadn’t been able to contact Avery Jane for a while. There wasn’t anything specific, just to call and chat, initially she could get in touch, then she truly lost contact, making her a bit worried.

”There are contacts, but never talked about Avery Jane.” There was normal contact, but two men wouldn’t specifically talk about their wives. Joshua Hughes not mentioning Avery Jane is just like him not mentioning Charlotte.

”I’ll fly over in a while myself, I’m just somewhat uneasy.” Charlotte felt that no matter how much Joshua Hughes adores Avery Jane, there seemed to be something Joshua was concealing.

”What are you worried about, Joshua Hughes is no ordinary person, no one can harm his wife.” Atlas Hallow said comfortingly while continuing to serve Charlotte.

”What I’m worried about is Joshua Hughes himself.” Naturally no one else can harm Avery Jane, but what if it’s Joshua?

”Alright, look at you, all day handling business, worrying about Annie Gray, afraid Avery Jane is being bullied, when will you spend more effort focusing on me, hmm?” Atlas Hallow sighed, this little woman is so busy, yet it’s like she’s not busying with his matters.

”Tonight, isn’t my attention entirely on you?” Charlotte’s eyes sparkled with fiery light, trembling her eyelashes as she looked at him, making him have an urge to immediately pull her back to the hotel.

”What’s wrong, why aren’t you eating?” Charlotte said while extending her pink tongue to lightly lick the little bit of porridge on her lips, smiling even more alluring...

”What I want to eat isn’t this, you know what I want.” Damn, this little girl is getting more daring, actually daring to tease him in this place?

Atlas Hallow’s blood surged within his body like gasoline, watching her alluring smile about to ignite...
