On the other end of the phone, Elizabeth didn't hear Charlotte's voice and found it a bit strange, "Lottie, what's wrong? Did the call drop?"
"No, Liz, it seems like my house has been burglarized—"
"No sooner had the words 'We've been robbed' left my mouth than the front door was flung open. A familiar figure walked in. Charlotte, holding her phone, awkwardly shuffled her feet."
Just at this moment, Elizabeth's voice came from the phone, "Hide quickly, I'll call the police for you. By the way, what's your address? Ah, hurry up and quit the game, let's text on Line, don't use voice chat, otherwise the thief will find you, isn't that just handing yourself over?"
"..."
Spoken very well, don't say it again next time.
After Elizabeth finished speaking, she hung up the call. Charlotte, looking at Leandro who just walked in, forced an awkward smile, "Mr. Romero, you're back."
"Didn't Melvin send you my itinerary?"
The implicatio
Charlotte grabbed her phone and hurriedly ran out to open the door.Sure enough, a police car was parked at the entrance, and several police officers were standing there.Probably for convenience, there was also a female police officer."Ms. Bernard? Your friend called the police saying there was a burglar in your house, was there a burglar in your house?"The speaking police officer was sizing up Charlotte.Charlotte, embarrassed, quickly shook her head and explained, "I'm sorry, officer, there was no burglar in my house. It was a misunderstanding. My husband came back from a business trip and I thought he was a burglar. My friend hung up before I could explain..."When the police saw Charlotte, they also realized it was probably a misunderstanding. However, as per protocol, they still had to ask: "So, there really wasn't a burglar, and nothing else happened? Would it be possible for your husband to come out and meet with us?"Charlo
"Didn't see much, I'm going down first, the police are still waiting at the door, you should come down quickly too."Charlotte, feeling guilty, quickly dropped a sentence and turned to run.Walking down from the second floor, Charlotte's heartbeat had not yet returned to normal.It was so embarrassing!She stopped at the entrance, her hand clutching her chest, while the other touched her burning cheeks from side to side. After pausing for half a minute, she finally lifted her leg to step out."Sorry, Mr. Lowe, my husband was about to come down."Jeffery nodded, in fact, when he saw Charlotte come out for the second time, he knew that this was just a misunderstanding.But since Charlotte had already notified people, it wasn't good for them to say they were leaving at this time.Leandro came down quickly, wearing a black bathrobe straight down, the tips of his short hair still dripping with water, it was clear that he had just ta
Leandro looked at her, "Go take a shower first, the stuff won't be delivered until later."Charlotte nodded, watching as Leandro turned and left. She quickly closed the door, glanced down at her disappointing belly, and then grabbed her pajamas to take a bath.Charlotte, who claimed not to be hungry, not only drank a bowl of porridge but also ate two shrimp dumplings.Looking at the last shrimp dumpling in the basket, she restrained herself from picking up the fork to take it.Leandro glanced at her, "Are you full?"Charlotte's face heated up. Leandro's casual question, "Are you full?" made her feel embarrassed because of something she had done earlier. "I'm full," she replied."Mm-hmm."Leandro absentmindedly responded, not saying anything else.Charlotte felt a bit tired, stifling a yawn that welled up, "Mr. Romero, may I go back to my room to rest?""Go.""Good night, Mr. Romero.""Good night."Ch
Charlotte opened her eyes, only to realize that she had been dreaming.She breathed a sigh of relief, her hand covering her face, unable to understand why she would have such a dream.After sitting on the bed and reflecting for a while, Charlotte went to wash up. By the time she had finished tidying up and went downstairs, it was already past nine.Charlotte had only gone to bed at one in the morning last night, which was too late. Consequently, she woke up late as well, yawning as she descended the stairs.The spacious villa was very quiet. Charlotte walked towards the kitchen. Upon seeing her, Joyce hurriedly brought the breakfast out from the kitchen.Charlotte said thank you, "Joyce, how was Leandro's appetite this morning?"Fortunately, I almost let the cat out of the bag.If Joyce found out that they weren't sleeping together, the relationship of this plastic couple would have been exposed.Joyce placed a stack of radish
Melvin, who had been Leandro's secretary for many years, recently found his position to be in jeopardy.He used to pride himself on being the secretary who understood the boss the best, but recently, Melvin was somewhat unable to keep up with Leandro's successive orders.There was the matter of Leandro asking him to draft a "marriage agreement" last weekend, and now there's the matter of Leandro suddenly deciding to bring Mrs. Romero to the party.He not only didn't understand why Leandro suddenly changed his mind about attending the party but was even more puzzled as to why Leandro, who never usually brought a female companion, suddenly wanted to bring Mrs. Romero to the party.Melvin, holding the invitation, pondered in his own office and finally figured out a bit of its meaning.The party was hosted by the Welllyn Group, which had a collaboration with Byness Sparks House. Naturally, people from the Gallagher family were invited to this party.
Charlotte was reminded, she reluctantly pulled her thoughts back, refocusing her attention on the game.A team battle broke out quickly, and Charlotte no longer had the mind to worry about whether she was too close to Leandro.Leandro, who was by her side, reminded her from time to time. Thanks to Leandro's reminders, she only failed twice in this round.The game ended, and looking at her impressive score, Charlotte couldn't help but gloat to Leandro, "I'm the MVP.""Um, very impressive."The man looked at her and responded respectfully.At that moment, Charlotte realized that she was almost in Leandro's arms.She instantly lost her composure, her hand holding the phone even trembled for a moment.The ears suddenly turned red, the blush spreading from the ears to the cheeks. Soon, even the face turned red.So close.The scent of cedarwood was overwhelming in her breath, each inhale was that familiar woody fragranc
Because of Leandro's words, Charlotte had another incredible dream.When Charlotte woke up the next day, she looked up at the ceiling and began to doubt herself.She was clearly the type to blush even when holding hands with her boyfriend, so why did she always have such embarrassing dreams at night?The male protagonist in this dream was none other than Leandro, the plastic husband with whom she had signed a contract and was openly collaborating.Help, why did she dream about touching Leandro's abs?Were you that thirsty, Charlotte?Just as she walked down the stairs, Charlotte saw Leandro tilting his head back to drink water.Her gaze fell on the Adam's apple that moved up and down with the swallowing action, and Charlotte subconsciously swallowed as well.Form is emptiness, emptiness is form!Don't blame her. Who wouldn't daydream upon seeing a man like Leandro?"What were you looking at?"The man sudden
Upon hearing the stylist's words, the hand that Charlotte had just raised immediately dropped.Such an expensive necklace, where did she dare to touch it?Just like that, in a daze, the necklace was already put on.The originally empty neckline was adorned with such a diamond necklace, the flawless brownish-yellow diamond pendant rested on the chest, shimmering under the light.Charlotte glanced at the mirror in front of her, her gaze falling on the massive brownish-yellow diamond. She wanted to ask someone to put the necklace away but feared it would make her seem inexperienced.It was too expensive.A necklace worth four hundred million was just hanging around her neck. If anything happened, how could she afford to compensate for it?What kind of party was this?Why did you have to wear such an expensive necklace?"It's really beautiful, Mrs. Romero."The stylist on the side was sincerely praising with his hands
Elizabeth glanced at Aidan, and the two of them didn't know how they ended up forming the Singlehood Alliance. "I'm scared, Mr. Romero."Charlotte was a bit embarrassed and changed the subject, "Are there crayfish here? I want to eat crayfish."Aidan heard this and clicked his tongue, "Yeah, this crayfish is pretty delicious. How much does Charlotte want to eat?"Charlotte felt that Aidan had something hidden in his words, and she instinctively looked at Leandro, saying, "Do you want to give it a try?"Leandro hadn't even spoken yet when Aidan interrupted, saying, "He hasn't tried it yet, so of course he has to taste it. The four of us, let's get four pounds, not too much, I can show off with two pounds alone."After speaking, Aidan glanced at Elizabeth and said, "Elizabeth, how much can you show off?"Elizabeth was originally a little embarrassed, after all, Leandro was there. But Aidan was even more shameless than her, so she let go: "I ca
Charlotte took out all the clothes from the suitcase and neatly arranged them. She also packed the two bags that Elizabeth had asked her to buy.Aidan quickly messaged Leandro, who then passed the address to Charlotte. After changing their clothes, the two of them went out.It was quite a coincidence that Aidan had originally made plans with Michael, but Michael suddenly changed his mind and didn't come.He didn't want to join Charlotte and Leandro to eat dog food, but when he heard that Charlotte's friends were also going, he reluctantly went out.Elizabeth did her makeup and changed her clothes before going downstairs to take a taxi. She arrived earlier than Charlotte.Inside the compartment, there was only Aidan. Elizabeth thought she had entered the wrong compartment, so she stepped out and took another look, but she realized she hadn't made a mistake and reluctantly went in: "Hello, are you Mr. Duncan?"Aidan had seen Elizabeth a few ti
Charlotte was dizzy with his words and kisses, with only his words of love and his kisses in her mind.The ringing of the phone brought the two back to reality. Charlotte pulled at her collar and blushed as she came out from his embrace, saying, "I need to go to the restroom."After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran into the bathroom, closing the door.In the mirror, her face was all red, just like a freshly cooked shrimp.Charlotte got a little wet and patted her face.The cool water splashed on the cheeks, gradually reducing the heat on the face, and the mind slowly regained its composure.If they didn't have that phone just now, they...Thinking about what might happen next, the blush that had just faded from Charlotte's face rose again.She stopped herself from continuing to think, sat on the toilet, and forcibly shifted her thoughts.When Charlotte came out of the bathroom, Leandro had already finished
It took Charlotte a few seconds to realize what he meant. Her face flushed, and she moved away from his embrace, changing the subject: "I haven't packed my luggage yet. I'll go upstairs and tidy up the suitcase!"Bring the gift out while you're at it!Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the tie clip on his tie.Leandro noticed her gaze and also looked down at his own tie.His gaze fell on the collar clip, he smirked, and let go of it, saying, "Go."He said and took her cup from her hand.Charlotte glanced at him and then turned around, running up the stairs.Her suitcase was filled with a lot of things, including the two bags she bought for Elizabeth.Charlotte took out everything and arranged them nicely when she just got the gift specially bought for Leandro. However, as soon as she got it, he walked in from outside.She instinctively looked up and glanced at him, offering the gift box to him as if presen
When Charlotte used to come home from college, she would wait for Greyson to come back at the garage door.When he finished parking and came out of the garage, she happily approached him and asked, "Mr. Bernard, are you off work?" Then she took his briefcase from his hand and playfully teased, making Greyson laugh happily.Today, she suddenly felt an impulse and couldn't help but treat Leandro the way she used to treat Greyson in the past.Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes flickered, and he calmly replied, "Hmm, it's time to get off work, rushing back to see Mrs. Romero."Charlotte's face grew warm for a moment, her gaze falling on his tie. Under the sunlight, the tie clip reflected light, shimmering slightly.It was a tie clip she gave.The curvature of Charlotte's lips increased, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited as she thought about the gift in her suitcase.Joyce saw Leandro come back and quickened her pace.
Charlotte clicked in and realized that it was Dangelo's fan who picked him up today. She heard Dangelo say, "I saw beautiful love. Who doesn't want sweet love?" And then Dangelo became a trending topic.Fans speculated whether he was in a relationship, but after digging around, no signs were found.The only one that made people doubt was Charlotte, but Charlotte was already married, so obviously it wasn't her.However, when Dangelo said those words, his fans naturally thought that he had a girlfriend.Elizabeth, a devoted mother, felt both relieved and worried. When she thought about Charlotte and Dangelo being on the same flight, she couldn't help but indulge in some gossip.Charlotte was puzzled: "I don't know either, I'm not familiar with Dangelo."It was Elizabeth's time to get off work, and she happened to be slacking off.Charlotte had just sent the message, and her message came back immediately: [Image.JPG] [Image.JPG]E
When Charlotte was released, her whole body felt like a fish about to be dried out.I was burning all over my body, breathing heavily, as if I could break at any moment.His legs had no strength, and he relied on Leandro for support.She lay in his arms for a while, her rapid breathing slowly calming down. Charlotte then lifted her head slightly and glanced at Leandro, asking, "Are you going back to the office?"The person in my arms still had a red face, and the mist in their eyes had not dispersed yet. When they looked up at him like that, it was like a lost little deer in the early morning.Leandro looked at her, his Adam's apple rolling visibly up and down, he averted his gaze with restraint and chuckled lightly, "Melvin must be very grateful to you."Just after being intimate, she immediately started worrying about him going back to the office.Charlotte was taken aback, "You see, there is a rather important meeting later."
After eating, Charlotte finally felt alive.She drank lemonade and felt extremely satisfied.Leandro had already finished eating and, seeing her put down her fork, he smiled and asked, "Finished eating?""I ate well."After eating and drinking enough, I felt sleepy again.Charlotte suppressed a yawn and looked down at the time on her phone, "It's two o'clock, aren't you going back to the office?""First, I took Mrs. Romero home."He didn't say not to come back, so after taking her home, he still had to go to the company.Charlotte was afraid of delaying his important matters, so she picked up her phone and said she was going home.Leandro did indeed have something to do in the afternoon, and after he dropped her off at home, he received a call from Melvin.There was an important meeting at three o'clock, and Melvin was worried that Leandro had forgotten about it. He reluctantly made the call."I got it, you
Charlotte woke up from a deep sleep when Leandro called her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, with his eyebrows and eyes so close. She blinked and lazily said, "Leandro."He looked at the person, and his heart immediately softened.Leandro handed her the bottled water he had opened and said, "Have a drink."Charlotte looked down and slowly took the mineral water, tilting her head back to take a sip.The slightly cool mineral water went down my throat, and my slightly dizzy mind instantly became clear.She touched her slightly warm cheeks and asked, "How long did I sleep?"Leandro smiled and said, "Not long ago, we just arrived at the place to eat."Charlotte looked at the time and realized it was already one o'clock.After waking up, hunger took over, and she looked at Leandro in distress, saying, "I was so hungry.""Then we went downstairs to have lunch.""Uh-huh."She nodd
