Chapter 198: His Punishment
When Charlotte heard Christopher’s reaction, she already understood..
“I guessed,” she continued, her tone inexplicably serious. “What’s wrong with my brother? Why is he not answering even when I called him?”
He was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh, wanting to speak. “It’s a long story…”
She frowned and looked worried. “Then let’s keep the story short.”
He took a deep breath, and his face suddenly turned unpleasant. “I don’t know what to say… I didn’t want to inform you. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you. I didn’t think you’d notice it yet…”
Edward must be in a serious situation.
Listening to Christopher’s words, Charlotte thought deeply.
In the next second, she weakly spoke out and said, “I’ll be right back.”
“You don’t have to…” When Christopher heard this, he unconsciously wanted to refuse.
After all, this wasn’t something honorable, and the fewer people involved, the better!
That was why he had hidden it from Charlotte.
“I’ve already decided,” she said with a firm tone.
She had to go and check for herself.
The more Christopher hid it this way, the more serious the situation would become.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
She looked at her room.
Since this was already the case, why not just pack some clothes and go back to Brighton Bay for a while?
She did not want to stay at Greenside Garden at the moment.
Nor did she want to see that man who was distracting her.
With that in mind, Charlotte immediately put her thoughts into action.
She went to her closet, packed some clothes, and then grabbed some daily necessities before leaving her bedroom.
She did not go to Max first but contacted the driver directly.
She was prepared to go first.
She already wanted to leave because she did not really want to see Max right now.
Unfortunately, things went against her plan, and she had just walked out the front door of the villa when she realized that Max was sitting in the quiet
and beautiful mansion.
The man sat silently, his side face handsome and calm.
He seemed to be looking at the fields of flowers in the manor, his handsome face hidden in the dim light could not be seen for any emotions.
When Charlotte saw him, she naturally could only stop in her tracks.
Her face stiffened and she immediately felt a bit weak.
Max had always had a keen sense of perception, and he had noticed when she left the villa.

But he hadn’t opened his mouth.
He just silently sized up the woman who had suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision.
She was evidently carrying a huge bag.
Max’s eyebrows furrowed, and almost instantly he tilted his head slightly and looked at Charlotte, who was not far away, and ordered in a cold and heavy voice. “Come here.”
Two short words that fell on her ears in a tone that could not be refused.
She pursed her lips.
Avoidance was inevitable, so she could only harden her heart.
walked slowly towards Max.
The man’s cold and probing eyes, however, remained fixed on Charlotte’s backpack.
“Where are you going with your bag on your back?” His thin lips parted slightly, and he asked coldly.
Charlotte looked into Max’s cold eyes and replied calmly, “I’m going to go home and stay there for a while.”
This “home” of course referred to Charlotte’s family home.
She was leaving Greenside Garden.
She was going out at this late hour.
Couldn’t she wait a bit more?
Realizing this, Max’s eyes were instantly tinted with a few points of dull, frosty cold.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the woman in front of him with a dangerously cold look.
She was also his wife.
“Reason.” Max’s slender fingers clenched slightly, and his handsome face tightened as he spat out this word with a loud voice, as if to hide his anger.
Charlotte heard this but her face did not change.
If it were anyone else, they might have been frightened by his cold appearance.
But she would not be.
Her mentality was quite strong. She looked straight into Max’s eyes and said softly, “I have been married to you for so long and I have never gone home for a short stay. It is appropriate to go back home once in a while.”
Max raised his eyes slightly, his face caught in the moonlight, looking exceptionally calm and cold. “As far as I know, your relationship with your parents is not considered close.”
The tone of his voice was light as he spoke this fact.
Charlotte froze slightly when she heard him.
Then she scoffed and said, “So I can’t go home? I also have the freedom to go home.”
He did not say anything.
He looked at Charlotte with a deep and sinister gaze.
It was as if he wanted to carve a hole in her body with his gaze.
There was silence in the air.
For a moment, no one spoke.

Until-
Max took the lead and broke the silence. “You can go home, but you must agree to one condition.”
Condition?
Charlotte’s eyebrows knitted tightly.
Did Max actually want to negotiate terms with her?
On what basis?
Did he want to limit her freedom?
me here.” The man slightly lowered his eyes and weakly spat out those two words again.
He was like a superior with an extremely strong aura that pressured Charlotte.
She pursed her lips and froze for a moment.
Finally, she walked over to Max.
She wanted to see what conditions he would propose.
Tell me your conditions,” she said as she approached.
Unexpectedly-
Just as she approached him, the man unexpectedly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
After a while, Charlotte was pulled over by him and sat on the man’s lap again.
However, before she had time to struggle, the man’s other hand was firmly gripping the back of her head.
In the blink of an eye, the man’s handsome and incomparable face greatly enlarged before her eyes.
In the next second, a faint warmth landed on her lips.
It was not exactly tender.
Nor was it shallow.
Instead, it was like an extremely aggressive storm, invading unstoppably.
Charlotte froze completely.
Her clear, beautiful eyes unconsciously widened,
Her fingers were awkwardly placed and could only rest on the man’s shoulders, gripping his white shirt.
It was as if there were countless fireworks exploding in Charlotte’s mind.
Exploding her mind into a chaotic mush.
She completely lost the ability to think and could only passively endure it.
The man’s other hand landed silently on her waist.
Charlotte felt like a prisoner, completely unable to move.
The man’s unique, cool, and lonely breath just blew in.
She almost suffocated.
Suddenly, a pain came from her lips.

Then a taste of blood was born in her mouth.
Immediately after that, Max loosened his grip and let her go as well.
“This is my punishment.”
He looked at Charlotte, his eyes were cold and focused, and his tone was unusually cold.
Her whole body stiffened.
It was as if she was still immersed in what she had just perceived and hadn’t come back to her senses.
Punishment?
wonder, she also bit her….
