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
Having someone accompany you to the bathroom was something only primary school students would do.Charlotte sat in the car, still feeling incredibly embarrassed.The lights outside the car window were spectacularly beautiful, swaying over Lottie and casting on Leandro's profile. Each pause of light and shadow was a distinct three-dimensional facet.Charlotte looked and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a face, it's a pity not to act on the big screen."The carriage had been silent, but a woman's sigh suddenly broke the quiet.The light ahead was red, so the car stopped. Even the focused driver in front couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.And Leandro, who had originally been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, also slowly opened his eyes at this moment, turned his head, and stared straight at her.Charlotte: "..."This mouth, she really didn't want it anymore!But it was such a shame to give up on something s
This sudden sound almost instinctively drew everyone's gaze to Charlotte's chest.Such a large diamond, under such bright light, shone so brightly that people couldn't look away.Undoubtedly, at that moment, Charlotte had become the focus of the crowd.In the distance, Marcus, holding a wine glass, spotted Charlotte, who was arm in arm with Leandro, through the crowd.He had known Charlotte for so many years, always aware of her beauty. However, now, looking at her through the crowd, he realized that Charlotte's beauty was outstanding, far more than he had ever recognized.The waist, accentuated by that slim white dress, seemed as if it could be encircled by a single hand. And at that moment, Leandro's hand was slowly wrapping around that slender waist.Marcus's face turned pale instantly, the veins on the back of his hand holding the wine glass pulsating.The man standing next to Charlotte, it should have been him!Charlotte r
Leandro watched her movements, his eyebrows twitching slightly, "Don't like it?"It's not that I didn't like it, I was just afraid of getting drunk.Charlotte was a classic case of "weak in capacity but strong in desire" when it came to drinking alcohol.The last time she got drunk, she mentioned "car sex" in front of Leandro. Charlotte still remembers it vividly to this day.Thinking of this, Charlotte's face couldn't help but flush: "Drinking is not good."Although the wine was delicious, it was truly embarrassing!Quit it, quit it!Leandro's lips curled slightly in a rare smile, then he reached out to take the glass of red wine from her hand, and from a passing waiter's tray, he picked up a glass of orange juice for her: "Drink this."Charlotte glanced around at the people, all of whom were swirling their glasses of red wine. Dressed as stunningly as she was and holding a glass of orange juice, she couldn't help but feel she
He finished speaking and lowered his head to kiss her lips again.Charlotte subconsciously clutched the shirt beside him, tilting her head to endure Leandro's lingering desire.Charlotte was kissed early in the morning and felt dizzy.When she walked downstairs, her face was still flushed.The door of the entrance opened, and the morning breeze blew in, giving her a sense of wakefulness.Leandro had already changed his shoes, he reached out and hugged her, soothingly kissed her forehead, "I will take you out to play tonight.""What are you playing?"Leandro looked at her and teased, "You'll find out tonight."Charlotte blinked her eyes and she realized that Leandro had also turned bad: "Well."He let go of his hand and said, "Let's go have breakfast.""Uh-huh."Charlotte nodded and watched as he walked towards the corner, then she closed the front door and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.Jo
Charlotte slept deeply, probably because she had drunk some beer.When I woke up the next day, Leandro was no longer in bed.The French window was opened one-third, and the morning breeze blew in. The curtains were blown up, and the sunlight followed through. The light inside the room was sometimes dim and sometimes bright.Charlotte squinted her eyes slightly, still not fully awake as she had just woken up.After sitting for a while, she finally became completely sober, and the events of last night naturally played back vividly in her mind.Charlotte!What on earth were the words of a tiger and a wolf that you said last night?You should not drink alcohol anymore in the future!Although I was sober last night, I was still influenced by alcohol. I knew what I was doing, but I was always a step behind, unlike now, where I am completely awake.Ah, ah, ah!After realizing what a jerk she had been last night, Charlott
When thin lips fell, Charlotte instinctively closed her eyes, and her hooked hand tightened involuntarily.After drinking alcohol, Charlotte's nerves became excited, and her hands, which she usually kept clenched, couldn't help but move a little.Through the silky pajamas, her palm could feel the warmth of Leandro's back.It was really hot.Why was he like a furnace?Charlotte couldn't help but move a little and suddenly let go of her Leandro, saying, "Lottie."Charlotte, who had not yet recovered, looked at him with a bewildered expression and asked, "What happened?"The just-kissed red lips glistened with moisture, damp under the lights, like cherries freshly touched by morning dew, tempting one to take a bite.What's most fatal is that those lychee-like eyes were filled with a watery gleam, looking at him so lost and helpless. Compared to the intentional seduction, this was even more deadly.Leandro knew that she was
Although knowing that Charlotte would probably say this tonight, she would forget it by tomorrow morning.But that soft spoken "I love you" easily shattered his proud composure.He glanced sideways at Charlotte, who was leaning on his shoulder, and his dark eyes under the shadow surged with restrained desire.With a snap, the lights in the entire living room suddenly turned on.Charlotte stood up and said, "The light turned on, the wish came true."Leandro chuckled and said, "What did Mrs. Romero wish for?"He turned off the night light at the entrance and carried her upstairs.Charlotte's face was already red, and upon hearing his question, it became even more flushed with embarrassment.She was just talking nonsense earlier, like making wishes before turning on the lights, even fairy tales wouldn't dare to write such things to deceive children.So just now, she was too busy admiring Leandro's serious and charming appea
When it was already past 10 o'clock at night, each of the four people had separated. Aidan had been drinking and couldn't drive, so he called for a designated driver.Elizabeth was originally going to take a taxi back, but Aidan felt that it was not safe for her, as she is a girl, so he decided to let her ride in his car instead.Charlotte drank a can of beer and was slightly tipsy before it ended. At this moment, the alcohol slowly started to take effect, and she felt like she was drunk.After fastening her seatbelt, she turned her head to the side and looked at Leandro, who had just gotten into the driver's seat. She furrowed her brows slightly and said with some distress, "Leandro, I think I'm drunk."Leandro was amused by her words, "Drunk people don't say that they are drunk."She nodded and responded seriously, "I am not drunk yet, but I feel like I am going to get drunk."She felt a little excited, looking at Leandro, wanting to hug h
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
