Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 306 - 181 It’s going to cause fatalities.

Kinsley Lee looked at Charlotte Miller. This woman was indeed beautiful, as fresh as a noble swan, maintaining a certain distance when they made eye contact, with a trace of pride and defensiveness that even she herself hadn’t noticed.

How could such a woman offer surrogacy for someone else?

If all these things happened without her knowledge, what would it be like? After all, placing a fertilized egg into a woman’s womb is not a difficult task for an experienced doctor.

"If you have nothing else, could you join me for a cup of tea?" This was a heaven-sent opportunity; if she missed this chance to have Charlotte alone in the house, perhaps once Charlotte’s child was born, that recording pen would never see the light of day?

This was an invitation extended to her, and Charlotte was somewhat tired but couldn’t refuse.

In her mother’s upbringing, respecting elders was essential, and in the previous encounters, Kinsley Lee had been quite polite to her, even enthusiastic, so it was hard for her to refuse.

On the second floor was a small reception room, also a good place for afternoon tea. Seeing the snacks prepared by the servants made Charlotte feel nauseous, although pregnant women shouldn’t drink too much tea, she couldn’t resist pouring herself a cup of black tea, hoping to relieve the discomfort.

She had to drink this when Atlas Hallow wasn’t around; if he was, he would keep a strict watch, only allowing her to drink mild green tea.

It had been a long time since she’d had such rich and fragrant black tea. Drinking it made her feel much better.

"Charlotte, you seem to have quite a reaction. Why do you like such strong tea?" Kinsley Lee appeared to smile gently, but her eyes concealed a blade that others couldn’t see.

It had been rare to hear someone call her Charlotte lately; this name was a term her parents used for her, so hearing it suddenly felt quite strange.

"It’s okay, I just ate a bit too much today and feel a bit uncomfortable." Charlotte leaned into the sofa, really hoping to return to her room soon, as drowsiness began to creep in, gradually weighing down her eyelids, her eyes almost closing.

Charlotte told herself to keep calm and smile, an upbringing essential for respecting elders.

"I thought surrogacy would cause a stronger reaction." Kinsley Lee spoke slowly while sipping her coffee.

Charlotte didn’t catch it clearly at first, thinking Kinsley Lee was saying pregnancy caused a stronger reaction, and dutifully replied, "I don’t know if this reaction is considered strong, but it’s not particularly uncomfortable either."

"That’s good. I thought if it wasn’t your own child, your body might react more severely and reject it." As Kinsley Lee said this, her expression deliberately showed a hint of surprise, then she pretended to cover her mouth: "Am I being too talkative? Don’t think too much about it, after all..." and then made a bemused expression.

Drinking tea could even make one choke; if it wasn’t her own child, what was in her belly? The words seemed rather mysterious.

Seeing Charlotte’s face full of astonishment, Kinsley Lee quietly spoke: "There’s no need to be embarrassed; or do you really not know Atlas’s purpose in marrying you?"

Charlotte’s eyes widened, all her attention drawn to that sentence. His purpose in marrying her?

This was something she always wanted to know because Atlas Hallow could marry any minute. From any perspective, he would be the kind of man women desired to marry. Suddenly marrying her must have a reason, which she had never gotten a clear answer from Atlas. Now, as Kinsley spoke, Charlotte sensed there might be some truth even Atlas couldn’t tell her.

Charlotte’s eyes widened as she looked at Kinsley Lee, a storm brewing beneath them.

She just stared at Kinsley Lee, straining to hear what she might say, experiencing an indescribable fear. She realized she started to gradually rely on this man and enjoyed the warmth of his embrace. She feared all this might just be an illusion, a dream that could vanish without a trace.

"Actually, doing this isn’t very good, but Atlas is used to being dominant; who dares to oppose him?" Kinsley Lee lowered her voice, then moved closer to sit beside Charlotte and carefully said: "It seems you’re not very clear about this. I can tell you the whole story, but you must keep it secret. After all, when Atlas loses his temper, even I, his aunt, can hardly stand it."
