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."

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.
"Your wedding won't go smoothly! I'll let you know Marcus only loves me, and you're just a loser!"After Charlotte Bernard read this text, her face darkened.Today was her wedding with Marcus Gallagher; and the text was from Marcus' childhood sweetheart, Lydia Wagner.Charlotte took a deep breath before turning off her phone.For this wedding, the Bernard family and the Gallagher family invited every influential figure in Aelmere. While Charlotte told herself that Marcus wouldn't do anything stupid on such an occasion, she still felt a bit worried.Meantime, the host on the stage announced the entrance of the groom. "Next, please give your warmest welcome to our handsome groom, Mr. Marcus Gallagher!"As the host's voice trailed off, the banquet hall broke out into a round of thunderous applause.However, a few seconds had passed, and the groom, who should get on the stage, was still nowhere to be found.Whispers circulated among the crowd. The host smiled calmly to make light of the "
Charlotte was severely injured. She was sent to the hospital and underwent an emergency operation for eight hours.But even so, Charlotte was still not out of the woods yet. If she didn't wake up in the next 48 hours, she would never be able to in the future.When Greyson heard this, he almost fainted.Greyson's wife passed away a long time ago, so his baby girl, Charlotte, meant the whole world to him. It was supposed to be Charlotte's big day today, but Marcus ruined it by deserting Charlotte at the wedding.Looking at the Gallaghers, Greyson flew into a rage. "Get lost! All of you, get the hell out of here!"After Greyson drove away the Gallaghers, there was only Charlotte, and her best friend, Elizabeth Buck, in the ward.As Charlotte's bridesmaid, Elizabeth was on standby in the banquet hall the whole time. When Elizabeth realized something was wrong, Charlotte was already carried into an ambulance.Elizabeth couldn't understand how such a joyful wedding turned into an awful disa
When Melvin and Elizabeth reached Charlotte's ward, they happened to see Leandro walk out.Seeing that Leandro was leaving, Melvin immediately followed him.There were a lot of visitors in the hospital at this time, so the elevators were crammed with people.Melvin didn't get a chance to ask questions until he and Leandro got in the car. "Mr. Romero, did Ms. Bernard tell you what she wanted?"Hearing this question, Leandro opened his eyes, tapped the leather seat with his finger, and said, "She did.""Then what do you need me to get for you?" Melvin asked, feeling a bit glad that Charlotte was a straightforward woman.Then, he heard Leandro speaking in the back seat, "A wedding house."Melvin thought he heard it wrong, and he subconsciously turned his face around, staring at Leandro. "Mr. Romero, did you just say 'a wedding house'?"Meanwhile, Melvin thought, 'I'm not that old to lose my hearing, am I?'"Yes," Leandro confirmed it.Then he closed his eyes again and raised his left han
Charlotte hadn't seen Leandro since he came to discuss the compensation last time.As time passed by, Charlotte slowly realized that she really acted like a jerk the other day.So, when Charlotte saw Leandro again, she was embarrassed and guilt-ridden.On the other hand, Greyson wasn't surprised to see Leandro because Leandro was the culprit of the car accident.But Elizabeth didn't overthink it. She thought Leandro was a nice guy and shouldn't be fully responsible for the accident.After Greyson exchanged pleasantries with Leandro, he went to sign the hospital discharge papers, while Elizabeth took Charlotte's medical card to print the test results, leaving Leandro and Charlotte alone in the ward.As it still needed time for Charlotte's broken calf bone to heal, she was confined to a wheelchair now.Leandro was very tall, and Charlotte had to raise her head to meet his eyes. "Mr. Romero, about the compensation...""I've thought it through," Leandro interrupted her.He then suddenly c
"Charlotte!" Marcus's face darkened. "Why did you do that to Lydia? She's sick! That's not something she can control!"Lydia, teary-eyed, pulled Marcus's arm and mumbled, "Marcus, don't blame Lottie. I deserved it. Because of me, your wedding was canceled. It's all my fault!"Charlotte couldn't be bothered to watch Lydia act, so she hopped away.Elizabeth blew a raspberry at Lydia and Marcus and hissed sarcastically, "Yeah. It's not your fault. You never make any mistake! You're just feeling blue, and the whole world has to make way for you! We get it!"With that, Elizabeth directly turned around and followed Charlotte.Marcus wanted to catch up with them, but he controlled his urge after he saw Lydia's current state."Marcus, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know it's all my fault!"Hearing Lydia keep saying sorry, Marcus began to take umbrage against Charlotte. He said to Lydia, "No. It's not your fault! She's way over the line!"And he told himself in his heart, 'Lydia didn't want to be
Charlotte realized she had mistaken for the wrong person and whispered embarrassedly, "Mr. Romero?""I'm outside your villa, Ms. Bernard," Leandro said.Hearing this, Charlotte hurriedly pushed the wheelchair near the window and saw a Bentley downstairs."Mr. Romero, what brought you here?" she asked.Due to her leg problem, Charlotte could only ask over the phone instead of going downstairs.But as soon as she finished her words, she remembered what Leandro was here for.Leandro realized something too. He paused and said in a flirting tone, "Ms. Bernard, are you playing hard to get?"Charlotte immediately sat straight and hurriedly explained, "No, it's not like that! Mr. Romero, I can explain. It's..."Charlotte was suddenly short of words, thinking, 'Explain what? Am I supposed to tell him that I was just too angry and wanted to piss Marcus off at that time? No, I can't do that! Well. I don't know what Leandro is planning, but I can tell he really wants to compensate me. So, Charlot

"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
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
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
Leandro, who had already reached the middle of the stairs, realized that Charlotte hadn't followed him. He stopped, turned around, and looked at her, "What's wrong?"Charlotte pursed her lips slightly and shook her head, "It's nothing, let's eat."Forget it, it was quite embarrassing, let's not bring it up.The incident at this charity performance, although there were some unpleasant occurrences, the final result was quite satisfactory for Charlotte. After all, this was a meaningful event.The online commotion lasted for a few days and then stopped. Charlotte received a call from Gabriella.Gabriella had invited Charlotte to be the ambassador for "Melodious Music". Of course, there was no remuneration, but for public figures, such philanthropic activities were considered mutually beneficial.Public welfare needed the heat of traffic to attract people's attention, and public figures needed such things to add a sparkle to themselves, especiall
Both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, Greyson knowing his daughter was doing well, and Charlotte not having to worry about her guilt being exposed.After hanging up the phone, Charlotte thought of the "marriage agreement". She reached out to the dressing table, grabbed the agreement, and read it again.Upon looking again, Charlotte still felt that something was off.Forget it, the contract has already been signed, there's nothing to agonize over anymore.Charlotte yawned, too tired to continue. She put away the agreement, changed into her pajamas, and went to take a nap.The issue between Charlotte and Tiffany had caused quite a stir online, and later Leandro even got involved. Even Aidan, who usually doesn't pay attention to this entertainment gossip, took a glance at Twitter.Leandro had just finished handling matters when he turned his head and saw the screen of the mobile phone on the desk lit up.Messages were being
#LeandroLiked# The speed at which this trend is rising is like riding a roller coaster, it shot up to third place in no time.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Caroline had Tiffany brought along as well.Leandro was praised in the trending topics for how much he spoiled his wife, while Tiffany was harshly criticized."Mom, I'm totally shipping this couple! (LOL, it's the first time I've known that even backing up your wife is not allowed.)""Mr. Romero and Mrs. Romero's relationship was so good! Looking back, Mr. Romero supporting Mrs. Romero was simply awesome! Someone should stop jumping around, it's enough to belittle such a powerful Mrs. Romero, let alone accusing her of using privileges. I think you've used your privileges too much on a daily basis, and you see everyone as if they're the same as you!""It was evident that Mr. Romero loved Mrs. Romero very much, and it was also clear that someone was nothing more than a buffoon!"
