Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 371 - 208 Charlotte, let’s go_3

She thought that in a month, when Ethan Baird returned, he would be able to come up with a good solution.

The two chatted for a bit, but Charlotte Miller didn’t dare to talk for too long. "Ethan, let’s wait for your return to discuss everything. It’s inconvenient for me to say much now." Atlas Hallow couldn’t hear her, but did he install surveillance cameras in the room?

Ethan sensed the hidden meaning in Charlotte’s words, and after reminding her to be careful, he hung up the phone.

Charlotte quickly picked up her phone, opened the door, and walked out, putting on a facade of calmness.

She saw Atlas still sitting on the sofa, seemingly unchanged.

The computer he used for work was still on his lap, his expression indifferent.

But Charlotte knew that this man was also dangerous when he appeared unchanged.

Charlotte walked to the sofa opposite Atlas, picking up the book she was halfway through and continued reading.

Everything seemed unchanged, returning to the calm before that phone call.

Atlas looked up and met Charlotte’s eyes, casually asking, "Who was on the call?"

Such things couldn’t be concealed from Atlas; he could easily find out who called.

So Charlotte answered plainly, "It was Ethan calling."

She answered honestly without hiding anything, which made Atlas quite satisfied.

He stood up, walked to Charlotte, and took her small hand, playing with it in his palm. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"What made you so happy during the call?" The previous question could be answered truthfully, but not this one.

Charlotte didn’t struggle, sitting quietly, her eyes downcast as she softly said, "Just chatting about his family matters. His mother’s health isn’t good, so he’s been staying in the United States and can’t come back."

"Oh?" Atlas’s gentle tone held a hint of inquiry.

Although there was doubt, this answer didn’t allow Atlas to find fault.

It’s normal for friends to call each other.

If he didn’t allow Charlotte to make calls, she might go crazy, and he didn’t want it to reach that point.

Having a well-behaved and compliant mistress by his side, isn’t that nice?

"Did he say when he’ll come back?" Atlas couldn’t help but bring Charlotte’s hand to his lips, lightly biting it.

Charlotte still didn’t struggle, her clear voice resonating with tension in Atlas’s ear, "No, he said there are some tricky issues, so he isn’t sure when he’ll come back."

The Baird Family indeed got into trouble and indeed couldn’t extricate themselves, and Atlas believed that.

That was best; whoever caused such trouble for the Baird Family should truly be thanked by him.

Atlas wrapped Charlotte in his arms, this close and intimate posture always making her uncomfortable.

Her body tensed, yet Atlas held her tighter, enveloping Charlotte completely in his embrace, his chin brushing against her neck, his newly grown stubble lightly irritating her delicate skin.

She could only endure his hands roaming over her; enduring for a month, surely a solution could be found.

A month’s time wouldn’t be too long. Charlotte forced herself to close her eyes, wrapping her arms around Atlas’s shoulders.

In such situations, she’s suffered losses several times before. If she complied slightly, she could have it easier; any resistance never ended well.

Charlotte’s move further brightened Atlas’s mood, who lifted her horizontally and carried her into the bedroom.

Soon, soft breaths and low moans of a woman sounded from the bedroom...

A short month quickly passed, and Charlotte still hadn’t found a job, while Ethan was finally about to return as promised.

Receiving Ethan’s call, Charlotte was overjoyed, changing her clothes early in preparation to pick him up at the airport.

But Atlas was the one who learned of the news earlier, sitting in the office with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

As expected, she dared to deceive him; Ethan must have told her the return date that day, which is why she behaved especially well over this month.

In the nights when he messed around with her, she was so compliant, like a pool of spring water, almost drowning him, making him feel willing to die on her.

But precisely because Charlotte was too obedient, it aroused his suspicion, so he had people monitor Ethan’s movements day and night—and finally, he was back.
