Acting, acting, it's all acting!
Charlotte took a slight breath, comforting herself.
Leandro, standing to the side, watched with a fleeting hint of amusement in his dark eyes. However, when his gaze met Marco's, all that was left in his eyes was coldness: "I was indeed worried that she might get lost."
"You--"
Marco gritted his teeth, but in the end, he managed to hold back his outburst.
The grandeur of the Romero family was evident everywhere, even the dining table was clearly not ordinary.
Although the Bernard family didn't have such a background, Charlotte, having been around with her teacher, had seen a bit of the world. She knew that in the Romero's house, even a casually placed decorative vase could be worth millions.
The wealthier the family, the more rules they had. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as saying one couldn't talk while eating, individual manners were still easily noticeable during meals.
Charlotte, afraid
Charlotte was pulled into the car by Leandro by her wrist. After she got into the car, she regretted it.I was impulsive just now. I couldn't help but lash out all at once.It seemed that Leandro's dad was quite upset by her...Thinking of this, Charlotte subconsciously looked towards Leandro who was at her side.The man, contrary to her expectations, was not angry. He looked at her with a faint expression, "Were you scared?"Charlotte shook her head, clicked her tongue against her teeth, and cautiously asked, "Aren't you angry?""Why was I angry?"She pursed her lips, a bit embarrassed, "...I think I might have overdone it, making your dad that angry."The man looked at her, suddenly laughed, and raised his large hand to gently pat her on the head, "Well done.""?"Did she mishear?Seeing the shock on her face, much of the gloom in Leandro's heart dissipated. He didn't explain, but asked, "Did you not eat
Elizabeth had become unreliable, but Charlotte was also not good at comforting people.She didn't have many close friends growing up. Elizabeth had a rough yet delicate personality. When she was in a bad mood, she would sulk for a while and then get over it, leaving no room for Charlotte to intervene.Elizabeth was unreliable, so the only option was to rely on the omnipotent netizens!Charlotte had spent over half an hour browsing various forums and message boards on her phone, finally gaining a bit of wisdom from a highly praised post.After much thought, Charlotte decided that diverting attention was the most reliable strategy.Leandro just happened to have not eaten much all night, so she made some food and comforted his stomach in the process. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!With that thought, Charlotte quickly got up and went downstairs to cook noodles.Why cook noodles?No way, she couldn't handle her comp
As Charlotte picked up the phone, she mouthed the question, "Should I leave?"She also saw it just now. It seemed like the call was from Leandro's dad.It was obvious, even without thinking, that the call was to berate Leandro, and she, the "culprit", Charlotte felt she should avoid it.Leandro had only glanced at her once, and as she was about to stand up, he leaned slightly and held her wrist.A large palm held her wrist, not with great force, but as the palm rested on her wrist, Charlotte felt a constant warmth emanating from it.She subconsciously curled her fingers, wanting to pull her hand away. But the moment she moved, the strength of the large hand increased a bit.Leandro glanced at her sideways, causing Charlotte to blush with embarrassment, too shy to move again.The empty room was very quiet. Charlotte was just half a meter away from Leandro. On the other end of the phone, Marco was furious, his volume and anger level dir
"The noodles were delicious, thank you."Hearing his words, Charlotte glanced at the bowl and found that the noodles had already been eaten.She felt that she must have comforted Leandro, "Oh, you're welcome. So, should I go back now?""Mm-hmm."Before leaving, Charlotte hesitated whether to take the empty bowl and fork with her.As she reached out to grab it, Leandro suddenly leaned in, their foreheads lightly touching. Even though they pulled away quickly, Charlotte still felt it.She was a bit embarrassed, her face slightly red, "Sorry, I just wanted to take the bowl away...""Did it hurt?"She had just finished speaking when she suddenly felt a warmth on her forehead.One of the man's hands was on the back of her head, and the pads of his index and middle fingers of the other hand gently stroked her forehead.The two were close, their breaths intertwined indistinguishably, Charlotte's nostrils filled with the
Charlotte returned to the room and saw that the phone on the desk had been flashing. She walked over, picked up the phone, and only then did she realize that Elizabeth had sent her quite a few messages.Elizabeth: Lottie! Are you really going to comfort Leandro?Elizabeth: ...You didn't really take my advice and put on sexy pajamas to comfort your husband, did you?Elizabeth: Half an hour has passed, Lottie. Will you be able to get out of bed tomorrow?Elizabeth: There's still ten minutes until an hour, take it easy, Lottie, your calf isn't fully healed yet! I won't disturb your baby-making anymore, I'm out of here. [I'm out of here.JPG]The latest message had arrived two minutes ago. Charlotte looked at Elizabeth's message and her face turned red instantly. She hurriedly replied.Charlotte: ...I'm back! Can you throw away those yellow scraps in your mind?Elizabeth was all talk, but in reality, she was always holding her phone waitin
Catching sight of someone out of the corner of her eye, Charlotte felt incredibly guilty. She had intended to keep playing, but after a while, she couldn't stand the man's gaze and stopped. "Mr. Romero, is there something you need?"Leandro stood by the piano, his head slightly lowered, his dark eyes staring straight at her: "Have you been avoiding me lately?"When he said this, his voice didn't fluctuate at all, only the end tone was slightly heavier, as if he was just asking a simple question.Charlotte's heart trembled, uncontrollably, she remembered that indescribable dream again, and her face instantly flushed red.She steeled herself, pretending to be calm as she met Leandro's gaze: "Oh, really? I have a charity performance tomorrow. I've been practicing this piece recently..."Leandro's hand, resting on the piano, tapped lightly. He didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, "Do we still have the candy from that day?""Huh?"T
Charlotte found it hard to comprehend. Disturbed by Leandro, she lost the mood to continue practicing. She took her phone and went back to her room to find Elizabeth.Charlotte: Liz, I have a question. I have a friend who also plays the piano. She has a male friend who suddenly told her he was feeling down and asked her to play Robert's "Traumerei" for him.Elizabeth: [Picking nose.JPG] And then?Charlotte: Robert's "Traumerei" was a piece he wrote for his lover Clara. It had a bit of a musical love letter vibe. My friend didn't think much of it at first, she thought that her male friend didn't know the story behind it. But to her surprise, after she finished playing, her male friend suddenly said, "This piece was written by Robert for his lover Clara."Elizabeth: Oh no, then what?Charlotte: After he finished speaking, he also said to my friend, "Thank you, Ms. Farrell, for playing for me." My friend felt that her male friend was playing games wit
"Charlotte?"For the third time, Caroline called Charlotte, but there was still no response. She gently pushed her with her hand.Charlotte was nudged, only then did she snap back to reality, looking at Caroline: "What's up? Are we there yet?"Caroline shook her head, looking at Charlotte with some concern, "Charlotte, are you okay? I just called you three times..."Charlotte was embarrassed, her ears instantly turning red, "It's nothing, I just spaced out for a moment."Because Elizabeth overanalyzed, she had another fanciful dream last night.The first half of the dream was normal, it was just her playing "Traumerei" for Leandro last night, and Leandro thanking her."But the latter part became absurd," Leandro said he had no way to repay, so he had to offer himself, and then he held her and kissed her.The taste of a mango-flavored kiss, she still remembered it even now.It was over, she had been led astray by Liz!
Charlotte just cried, her tears dried up, feeling a bit uncomfortable on her face.Now Greyson woke up and lay on the hospital bed, staring at her.She didn't think she looked good, so she found an excuse to say she needed to go to the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom to wash her face.Cold water splashed onto her face, and this time, she was incredibly grateful.Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte closed her eyes and calmed down. She then opened her eyes again, and the redness in her eyes had already faded a lot.She smiled at herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and saw Leandro, who had come back with oatmeal. He was chatting with Greyson, and she walked over to Leandro's side.Greyson was not feeling well and would wake up for half an hour before falling asleep again.Orion had to stay overnight and was unwilling to go back to the Bernard's villa.
Leandro said and then turned around and left the ward. Inside the ward, there were Orion and Charlotte, along with Greyson who was still unconscious lying on the bed.Charlotte looked at Greyson lying on the hospital bed, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if, after the doors of the emergency room opened, the doctor had told her that he hadn't been saved. She would have been devastated.Her mother passed away when she was too young to remember, and Greyson raised her single-handedly.When she was very young, she had asked Greyson countless times why other children had mothers, but she didn't.Greyson would always tell her that because her mother had gone to heaven early, she would help buy her favorite toys and when she goes there in the future, she can have a house full of beloved toys.She later grew up a bit and then she found out that her mother was no longer in this world.She gradually stopped asking about her mother, bu
Charlotte had actually calmed down a lot, it was just because of fear that her fingers became cold.Leandro's warm palm conveyed strength, making her less overwhelmed.The hospital at night is much quieter than during the day, except for the emergency department, all other departments have already closed.Greyson was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, and Leandro immediately knew that he was being treated in the emergency room.He led Charlotte towards the emergency room, following the nurse's instructions just now.The two of them had not reached the entrance of the emergency room when Charlotte saw the butler Orion.Greyson suddenly fainted, and it was Jaylen at home who first noticed.Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and immediately called an ambulance. Greyson was quickly taken to Cliff Hospital for treatment."Orion.""Ms. Bernard, Mr. Romero."Orion saw Charlotte, which could be considered finding the
The man's kiss initially only stayed on her lips, but slowly he became unsatisfied with just the lips.Charlotte felt hot all over her body, and the itchiness spread from her lips down her neck, finally invading her chest.In the room, almost all there was the sound of her and Leandro's breathing.Leandro kissed her and asked in a low, husky voice, "Mrs. Romero, would you like to do something you love?"The voice was deep and sexy, like a grain of sand falling into her heart, grinding her to the point of unbearable.She was like a fish pulled ashore, lacking water and oxygen. The instinct to survive made her open her mouth to breathe, and her mind was all jumbled up, unable to think at all.The unbearable pain in her body made her unable to help but hum, and this sound directly broke Leandro's last sanity.He had been enduring since the afternoon, and couldn't bear it any longer.The air conditioning in the room was turned up h
Charlotte was feeling flustered after being caught by the head teacher for reading a novel in class. In her panic, she loosened her grip and her phone fell directly onto the bedsheet.She instinctively picked up her phone, then exited the reading app and switched back to the home screen. Only then did she nervously glance at the person beside her and said, "Reading a novel.""Reading novels on a mobile phone is not good for the eyes, so I asked Melvin to prepare a Kindle."Charlotte was taken aback and reluctantly nodded, "Okay."Leandro looked at her and asked, "What novel is it? Is it good?""The romance novel that Liz sent me was just average, not very interesting, just to pass the time."I'm sorry, author. I lied, it was very good!Charlotte said, and she grabbed the thin blanket beside her.She really didn't know how to lie.Obviously, Leandro also noticed her little gesture: "Are you so engrossed that Mrs. Romero t
Charlotte couldn't contain the curve of her lips on her way back, as she had just obtained a necklace worth over three million.On the way home, she was constantly immersed in the joy of Leandro not giving Hanna face, and she forgot that she had blushed before leaving because of the question of "whether to go out or not."When Charlotte returned to the villa and was taking off her earrings, she suddenly remembered this question.My heart started beating faster inexplicably.Charlotte put away the removed earring and glanced at her own cheek in the mirror.Blushed.Ah, Charlotte, you became bad!What are you thinking about all day long now?She raised her hand and patted her own face. Just as she turned around, she saw Leandro coming in.Charlotte felt very guilty, watching him approach with water in his hands, her heart beating faster and faster with each passing moment.Seeing him hand over the water cup, she reached out and took it, lowering her head to drink the water, while shifti
"It's not necessary to work so hard. If Mrs. Romero is willing to use my supplementary card, I think I would be very happy."Charlotte also remembered the card he gave her and felt a bit embarrassed, "It's different."What's different is that we were a legally married couple, and half of the money I earned belonged to you.Charlotte couldn't dare to imagine that half of his money belonged to her, Leandro's wealth, which she could never achieve in her entire life of struggle.Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of him.After all, she wanted to maintain her pride and couldn't ignore Leandro's feelings.Charlotte glanced at him and said, "The money to buy you a gift should at least be earned by me, right?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro felt as if his heart was enveloped in warm water.Soft and swollen.Hmm, Mrs. Romero is quite good at coaxing people.The two of them walked to the car. Leandro opened the passenger door and held his hand on the roof to protect it. After Charlotte
Charlotte pursed her lips and looked hesitant, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Norton, but this is the first gift Leandro ever brought me to the auction house. It holds a special meaning for me, so I can't let it go.""Moreover, this necklace was not the best, and I believe Mrs. Norton deserves something better. Ms. Norton, you might consider communicating with the auctioneer of 'the Bridge of Love,' I believe that necklace would be more to your mother's liking."Charlotte immediately handed back the words she had just said to Hanna. Unable to refute, Hanna's face turned slightly sour and she said, "I was being unreasonable."Leandro replied in a low voice, "Since you knew it would be difficult for a strong person, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place."This statement directly pierced Hanna's heart, causing her already unattractive face to turn pale.Hanna bit her teeth, glanced at Leandro, and then looked at Charlotte. "I'm sorry, I did indeed overstep."She said it and turned
Leandro had just swiped his card when Charlotte immediately grabbed his arm.A soft and gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and her breath blew straight onto his face, causing a tingling sensation and making his chest slightly itchy.His black eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his head and looked at Charlotte in front of him. He raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist.Hanna walked up to the two of them, her gaze falling on Leandro's hand, but quickly withdrew it: "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero."After Elizabeth exposed her use of the names "Ms. Bernard" and Lance for Leandro and Charlotte last time, this time, Hanna didn't dare to call them "Ms. Bernard" and Lance anymore."Ms. Norton."Charlotte politely responded.Leandro glanced at Hanna lightly and asked, "What's up?"Hanna, this person, used to come over for no reason.Leandro's patience had long run out when she was talking nonsense to Charlotte back then.Hanna was still being treated by Leandro in this way for the f
