Actually, it was not surprising why Gabriella initially wanted to downplay everything. The scale of today's charity performance was indeed very large, and the stage setting was comparable to the S-level competition stages that Charlotte had participated in.
Suddenly changing from the finale to the opening act, Charlotte was quite nervous as she stood backstage preparing to go on.
Charlotte performed a revised piano piece called "World of Us" today, accompanied by a dance troupe composed of deaf-mute people, interpreting the world of the deaf. With the touching piano sound, although not intense, it was very moving, absolutely a feast for the ears.
After the curtain call, Charlotte subconsciously glanced down at the stage.
When she just got on stage, she saw Leandro at first glance. The man was sitting in the middle of a row of seats, his outstanding features and unique temperament stood out like a crane among chickens, and she spotted him immediately.
When Leandro said this, he was standing sideways, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the heat of his breath hit Charlotte's face.In the dim light, Charlotte's face gradually turned red, and her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.She closed her eyes and silently recited two phrases in her mind: Hold on! Hold on!Charlotte pinched her own hand, waking herself up a bit: "Thank you."This was sincerely and genuinely said by Charlotte.She knew that Leandro's appearance here today was merely to support her. Their plastic marital relationship required Leandro to act like a loving husband to her because of today's events, so he could help her out.Charlotte was certainly grateful, but she was also very clear-headed, knowing that this was just Leandro wanting to help her.People just wanted to help her, but she couldn't lust after their bodies. Although this man's body was indeed quite attractive...Realizing what she was thinking,
"Was it necessary?"Was she really that unlucky?No sooner had Charlotte finished speaking than she saw Leandro lean over, startling her, "Mr. Romero, you--"Before the sentence was finished, the person was directly picked up by Leandro.She instinctively struggled, but the man didn't seem to mind. He held her firmly and walked out, saying as he went, "There are so many people here, if you make a bigger scene, we'll be the center of attention."This sentence seemed like a freezing spell, upon hearing it, Charlotte was completely petrified.In fact, Leandro had already attracted attention when he moved from the front row to the second just now. Now, as he left his seat holding Charlotte, it inevitably caused a bit of a stir.Charlotte, unable to bear the sound of the gossip, had no choice but to bury her head completely in Leandro's chest like an ostrich playing dead.By the time Caroline realized, Charlotte had already been car
Elizabeth quickly skimmed through the trending topics, trembling with anger. She initially wanted to call Charlotte, but feared it might be inconvenient for her to answer at the scene, so she had no choice but to send a message through Line first.Elizabeth: Lottie! You need to get online quickly and see why Tiffany's fans suddenly started attacking you out of nowhere.Elizabeth: [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG]Charlotte had thought that Elizabeth was asking about her charity performance. Unexpectedly, when she clicked in, she saw this message. As she scrolled down to see the photos, it turned out to be her trending topic: #CharlottePrivilege#.At first glance at this trending search term, it was not immediately clear whether it was praise or criticism. But upon clicking in, it turned out that all were criticizing Charlotte.Charlotte frowned, clicked in, and scrolled for a while, quickly identifying the crux of the problem.When Tiffany was originally informed that she was n
Charlotte was truly angry, even more so than when she was initially mocked by Lydia online.She started learning the piano at the age of four, and her achievements today are the result of her talent and hard work.During my senior year of high school, in order to balance my studies, I went to bed at midnight every night and woke up at five in the morning to practice the piano.Even when she had achieved fame and success, she never practiced less than 30 hours a week. Whether she was performing or competing, she never let up.She had worked so hard to climb up step by step in the field she loved, but now people were saying that all her honors were bought with money, that she was desperate for fame, and even dared to pick a fight with Tiffany.Had they criticized her character or accused her of behaving improperly today, she wouldn't have been so angry.But with just a few casual words, they negated her twenty years of hard work and sweat, even comparing her prided talent to cotton-pick
Charlotte retracted the finger that had just brushed past her lips, always feeling as if the touch of a man's lips still lingered on her fingertip.She pressed her palm with her finger, looking at Leandro, and nodded, "I've made up my mind, but for this matter, there's no need to bother Mr. Romero."She had just spoken to Leandro like that, but she was not actually seeking help.She wasn't so weak as to be bullied like this, with people stepping on her nose and face, and she couldn't even make a bit of a counterattack.She said so, partly because she was genuinely angry, and partly to give Leandro a heads-up.After all, the incident had gone online, so most of the Romero family probably knew about it.This "Mrs. Romero" might not be able to maintain her "dignity" and continue to bear it for the sake of preserving the face of the Romero family.Just as she finished speaking, the man's eyes evidently softened a lot, "Since you can handle it, then I won't interfere."Charlotte clearly fe
Joyce's words served as a wake-up call for Charlotte, who had a vague feeling that her actions were related to Leandro's bad mood.However, she was anxious to deal with things online, so she planned to go find Leandro after she finished calling Caroline.But before she could make the call, another message from Elizabeth came in.Elizabeth: Lottie, it's flipped! It's flipped! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Tiffany is going to get scolded to death this time!Elizabeth: Impressive, even Master Albert came out to back you up!Elizabeth: [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG]Charlotte clicked directly into the picture Elizabeth posted and found that in the short half hour of the return journey, the online public opinion had suddenly reversed by a large margin.And the so-called reversal that Elizabeth mentioned was because Master Albert, a nearly retired veteran in the entertainment and music industry, suddenly spoke up for her on Twitter.Who was Master Albert?Master Al
However, this thought only flashed through Charlotte's mind for a moment.The crux of the matter was not really about whether she was capable or not, but rather that Tiffany was kicked out of the charity performance today.Charlotte immediately called Caroline. As soon as she dialed the number, Caroline picked up the next second.Clearly, Caroline was also planning to approach Charlotte to resolve this matter.In the morning, Caroline was quite upset. Later, Leandro avenged Charlotte, fought fire with fire, and kicked Tiffany out of the charity performance with magic. Only then did Caroline finally calm down.Just didn't expect that, not long after this anger subsided, it was provoked again.Caroline was no less angry than Charlotte. They were of the same age, and although Caroline was both Charlotte's assistant and her "agent", she had always listened to Charlotte.Years ago, when a bunch of olive branches were thrown from the entertainment industry, Caroline was tempted. But when Ch
"There was no need for that.""Hmm?"Upon hearing her words, Caroline became a bit stressed, "You're not possibly still thinking of leaving a way out..."Charlotte chuckled, "No, it's just that I probably can't stomach the tea she pours. Having her apologize publicly would be enough."Every additional glance at Tiffany seemed to bring Charlotte bad luck."You're right! I hung up, Lottie is waiting for my good news!"Caroline gritted her teeth and bravely hung up the call.Charlotte glanced at the "Call Ended" on her phone and couldn't help but reflect. She wondered if she had been too modest in the past.After careful consideration, Charlotte realized that she had indeed been too low-key in the past.Alas, they were all mistakes made in my youth.Charlotte sighed, no longer reflecting.She didn't need to worry about this matter anymore, she was well aware of Caroline's capabilities. She believed it wouldn't
Charlotte and Leandro ate lunch at home.After finishing lunch, she felt a bit sore in her waist and her stomach wasn't very comfortable. After practicing the piano for an hour, she went back to her room and took a nap.Charlotte was feeling a bit sleepy, probably due to her menstrual cycle.This afternoon nap, she slept directly from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.After a good night's sleep, she felt much better. She went to the balcony and enjoyed the breeze for a while, then went to the piano room.When Auntie came up with the brown sugar water, Charlotte only then found out that Leandro had just returned to the company half an hour ago."Mr. Romero said he can't have dinner with you, let me tell you, Mrs. Romero.""Oh, okay, I got it."Joyce finished conveying the message and then asked Charlotte what she wanted to eat for dinner.She didn't have much appetite, so Joyce was asked to watch over her.Leandro didn't come ba
Leandro had already changed the bed sheets. When he saw her coming out, his gaze fell on her feet, and he immediately walked over and lifted her up. "Why aren't you wearing slippers?"Charlotte looked down at her feet and realized that she had been walking without shoes all along.She awkwardly said, "I forgot."When Leandro picked her up and put her on the toilet just now, she wasn't wearing slippers. After finishing, she completely forgot about wearing slippers.Leandro placed her on the bed and bent down, holding the soles of her feet.Charlotte didn't feel her feet cold just now, but now they are being held by his hands, his big warm palms covering her soles, the comfortable and soothing feeling makes her want to keep it forever.But not long after, Leandro covered her feet to keep them warm, took a tissue from her dressing table, and then came back to help her wipe her feet. After that, he directly put her legs into the thin blanket and
The cat's humming sound, like cat claws scratching, was teasing every nerve of Leandro.And his pride in self-control, at this moment, finally crumbled completely.Leandro held her slender and long neck, lifting her slightly and pulling her closer to his body. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her delicate collarbone.He kissed her slowly and gently, just like a devout believer.Charlotte could feel the delicacy and tenderness of each of his kisses clearly, as the tingling sensation increased in range with each kiss.She was like a bamboo shoot, peeled off its outer layer, revealing delicate skin.The coldness of the air conditioner hit, and Charlotte shivered for a moment.The man's arms were warm and strong, and she was held by him, the coldness diminished slightly. However, the embarrassment and the upcoming events made her feel a certain unknown fear.Just when she thought it was about to happen, Leandro suddenly grabbed
Charlotte was afraid that Elizabeth would send her explicit novels, so she quickly logged out of Line after saying goodnight.At that moment, Leandro came out of the bathroom.She took a glance and, for some reason, it reminded her of what Elizabeth had just said, "It's not only couples who sleep together, nor is it only those who don't."She instinctively thought about her marriage with Leandro, which had been almost five months, and realized that they hadn't had any intimate moments as a couple yet. She wondered if it was a bit absurd.At the thought of this, Charlotte's face had immediately become flushed.She instinctively raised her hand and covered her cheek, wanting to cool down her face.Leandro looked at her like that and asked with a smile, "What was Mrs. Romero thinking?""No, I didn't think about anything."Charlotte was very guilty, she didn't dare to tell him that she had just been thinking about the married life
Charlotte finished taking a shower and unconsciously picked up her phone, opening Line.Normally at this time, she would chat and gossip exclusively with Elizabeth.But these days, whenever she picked up her phone, there were no messages from Elizabeth.She was not originally a person who liked to browse the internet for gossip, so basically everything online was shared with her by Elizabeth.Charlotte opened Line and looked at Elizabeth's profile picture. Her finger hovered over it, hesitating for a moment, but she ultimately didn't click on it.Forget it, Liz must have been too busy lately, so it's better not to disturb her.She quit Line and went on Twitter to check the trending topics.As soon as she went online, Charlotte saw Dangelo's trending topic.Did Dangelo date someone?Charlotte looked at the hashtag #DangeloLove# and instinctively took a screenshot and sent it to Elizabeth: [screenshot.JPG].Charlott
When Charlotte went back, she only saw Marcus and his girlfriend.This time, Marcus didn't see her.On the contrary, her girlfriend was looking at her thoughtfully.Charlotte didn't want to cause trouble, so she glanced briefly and then quickly walked back to her seat.Their seats were by the window, about ten meters away from the spot where Marcus had just stopped them. Leandro was unaware of what had happened just now.When he saw her come back, he handed the menu to her and said, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."Charlotte glanced at him, took the menu, lightly bit her lip, made her selection, and handed the menu back to Leandro. "I just ran into Marcus earlier," she said."Hmm?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did he trouble you?"Charlotte shook her head and then nodded, "He stopped me and told me some strange things."She was completely unaware of what Marcus meant.
The sound of "Lottie" that Marcus just made was not small, and all the diners around the table heard it.Of course, his companion naturally heard it too.Odelia Vance had already heard about the affair between Charlotte and Marcus.Charlotte and Leandro were already married, and she didn't think Marcus would anger Leandro at this time.Over the course of their relationship, Marcus was still good to her. He didn't show much interest in other women and, overall, he can be considered loyal.Of course, back then, Charlotte and her affair with him caused quite a stir, so naturally she was worried that Marcus might have a soft spot for other women.However, Lydia was the only one left as Marcus had personally sent everyone away, so she didn't have to worry about this issue.Putting aside all of this, let's take a look at Marcus, who was also a good man.In general, Odelia was quite satisfied with Marcus in all aspects.The onl
Leandro looked at her, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?"The question was thrown back at her.Charlotte was embarrassed. She already felt a bit guilty when she asked this question, and now that he threw the question back at her, she didn't have the courage to continue speaking.She gently squeezed Swiftbolt's belly with her legs, and Swiftbolt took a few steps forward."Did we go back?"Leandro looked at his watch and said, "Do you still want to continue?"Charlotte shook her head and felt a little embarrassed, "I was a bit hungry.""Shall we go for dinner? Eat outside?"At this time, Joyce probably hadn't made dinner yet.Charlotte thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.The two of them changed back into their regular clothes and came out of the stable, it was already almost half past five.Charlotte remembered that she had not told Joyce that she would not be coming home for d
"Charlotte!"When Charlotte heard someone calling her, at first she thought it was an illusion, until she heard it for the second time.She tightened the reins and made Swiftbolt stop.At the same time, the person calling her also rode over on a horse.She didn't know who was calling her until the person got closer.Leandro's younger brother - Elvis.The other person looked at her with a contemptuous expression, and Charlotte didn't need to think to know that this Elvis was probably going to say something unpleasant again.If it was in the past, she would not hesitate to choose to curse back.But now things are different, she and Leandro have been playing a game for real, and in the face of her younger brother-in-law, she has to have a bit of an elder's demeanor.Not to mention, Leandro has already offended two of his three close relatives.This last one, Charlotte was indeed quite troubled.If she also off
