Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Chapter 257 - 161 Losing to her feels like I’m losing willingly_5

Just like when she first brought everyone from the Miller Family to the United States, then met with Jack Smith behind his back, and later went to work at Ethan Baird’s company without telling him. If he didn’t teach her a lesson, she would become bolder. This is just a way to give her a proper lesson.

"Fine, I agree with you, I won’t go to work. But from today onwards, Atlas Hallow, do not speak a single word to me, do not touch me, do not appear in my sight, or else I’ll feel so disgusted that I won’t be able to eat." Charlotte Miller wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said aloud.

"Are you threatening me?" Dare to speak to him like this? Atlas Hallow’s deep eyes were like forming ice, terrifying, his voice was low and pressed down like a rock, making Charlotte nearly breathless.

It was a threat, no doubt, but Charlotte wouldn’t speak to him like that.

"Am I threatening you? Am I negotiating terms with you? Otherwise, how do you expect me to live? Get up every morning to send you to work, then sit at home waiting for you to come back, and accompany you at night to serve your desires, is that it? Atlas Hallow, have you ever considered this? I am a person, not your accessory. If you insist on making me your accessory, I believe it won’t last long." Charlotte straightened her delicate back, with a trace of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, speaking without fear.

"What are you saying? You want to leave me?" Her words that it wouldn’t last long infuriated Atlas Hallow to the extreme.

He was about to go mad, just wanting her to stay peacefully by his side, yet didn’t expect things were going out of control.

In all these years, rare were the situations he couldn’t control, and all of them were because of Charlotte, was she really born to counter him?

He didn’t want Charlotte to be this upset, but she seemed to be heartbroken and determined already.

"I’m not trying to leave you. If you don’t let me work, if you don’t let me live the life I want, I will die. Atlas Hallow, if I have no freedom, I’ll die..." After Charlotte finished speaking, she looked at Atlas Hallow with a serious face.

This fact made Atlas Hallow’s heart ache fiercely. The big hands gripping Charlotte’s shoulders even started to tremble, and slowly he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with helplessness and heartache.

Did Atlas even regret it? Was he pushing her too hard?

"Charlotte, you don’t know, you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever encountered. Before you, it seemed like the whole world was gray, and you were the first ray of color. In this world, I’ve never feared anything, but I’m afraid of losing you. I never felt like this before. Can we discuss this in another way? What do you need the most?" Atlas Hallow gently embraced Charlotte. He didn’t know how much it would hurt to lose her because he didn’t want to experience this kind of pain.

"But all I want is to work," Charlotte said very firmly. On this matter, if she compromised once, she might really only become Atlas Hallow’s accessory in this lifetime.

If Charlotte did not go for broke, she would never win. She lifted her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and her gaze was resolute beyond imagination.

"Atlas Hallow, if you dare to force me, I dare to force myself. I’m not afraid of death, so what else is there to be afraid of?" When saying this, Charlotte’s eyes were already filled with coldness.

At the beginning, neither of them entered this marriage with sincerity,

but during the process of entering this marriage, she tried her best to cooperate with the utmost sincerity.

Therefore, Charlotte felt she must obtain the rights she deserved.

How naïve this young girl’s thoughts are, not afraid of death?

In fact, there are many things in this world more terrifying than death, but she doesn’t want Charlotte to experience that taste. For her, those things are too cruel. What happened to Luna today is just the tip of the iceberg. She’s already like this, Atlas Hallow sighed deeply, rubbed his forehead, and for a moment, neither of them spoke, the air was dead silent.

"How about we each take a step back?" Atlas Hallow broke the silence first. He couldn’t let her have her way completely, but he also didn’t want to make her so angry that she couldn’t eat looking at him.

"How do we compromise?" Charlotte suspiciously looked at Atlas Hallow. What trick was he going to play this time?

"After you give birth and get back into shape, you can return to work. And I won’t stop you from working in the future, but only at the Hallow Clan." This was his biggest concession. If she dared to cause trouble again, really, he should spank her little butt.

"You know what my work entails. If I stop, I’ll fall behind. I can agree to work no more than five hours a day, and I’ll immediately put down my work if I feel any fatigue with your child being the top priority. How about that?" As soon as she heard there was room for negotiation, Charlotte immediately got a bit excited, and her tone wasn’t as cold as before.

Seeing her face finally having a hint of color, Atlas Hallow let out a deep sigh from the bottom of his heart. After losing this battle, it might become very difficult to control this little girl in the future.

But losing to her seemed to be a willing defeat.

"So when do you plan to work until? Until the delivery room?" Atlas Hallow sighed deeply, holding Charlotte’s small hand, and asked.

"If my health allows, it wouldn’t be impossible." Being pregnant doesn’t mean her brain is broken, and she would also take care of herself.

"Full stop all work in the last month, this kind of work is too mentally exhausting." Finally, Atlas Hallow said with a serious tone that didn’t allow for refusal.

"Deal..." Charlotte nodded enthusiastically, unexpectedly benefiting from this crisis, she could come to work openly and not have to spend so much time confined in the Hallow Family afterward.

"So can Luna return to the hospital now?" If it’s not handled quickly, Luna might really scold her to death.

Atlas Hallow helplessly smiled, called Daniel Parker to come in, and asked him to handle it well.

Daniel Parker closed the door, thinking disdainfully in his mind, that’s what it comes down to, the boss must unconditionally compromise. He hadn’t even realized that whenever the boss’s wife shows up, half of his stiffness would soften, let alone seeing her shed tears. Arranging a hospital, if she wants to buy a hospital, he probably wouldn’t refuse, right?

A spineless man, softened so quickly, fortunately in business he’s tough enough, or else Hallow would have collapsed eight hundred times over...
