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
As soon as Charlotte spoke, there was a noticeable change in Marissa's complexion.She had originally thought that, in front of so many people, with her attitude being so good, even if Charlotte was reluctant, she would have no choice but to grit her teeth and say "okay".Unexpectedly, Charlotte didn't buy into this at all. Even in front of so many people, she still didn't show any social respect.The people around waiting to watch the drama, upon hearing Charlotte's "I mind," many of them secretly took a deep breath."...Really? Was Charlotte that brave? After all, this was her husband's stepmother. Shouldn't she show some respect, if not for the woman herself, then for her husband's sake?""What do you know? Mr. Romero has always had a bad relationship with his stepmother. Naturally, Charlotte would side with Mr. Romero.""But on an occasion like today, even if there was real dissatisfaction, such a refusal was too impolite, too disrespect
Aidan walked up to Leandro, "Aren't you going to check on your little darling wife?"Leandro gave him a cold glance, and Aidan turned his gaze away in disappointment.Alright, I couldn't even make a half-joking remark.Charlotte followed Daisy to the garden. The Galloway family had put a lot of effort into the party, even the garden was meticulously decorated.However, such high-class banquets were not frequent throughout the year, let alone tonight. At this banquet, many distinguished guests who rarely appeared on normal days were present. Therefore, this "remote" garden was not favored.Just as Daisy had said, the garden was indeed quite deserted and peaceful.Of course, even the lighting was only for ambiance, it didn't serve much of a purpose for illumination.Charlotte casually put down the cup in her hand, then followed Daisy to sit down on the chair in front.Sipping her red wine, Daisy let her gaze sweep over her before
Charlotte thought that Daisy definitely did it on purpose!He intentionally got close to her first, then used her as a way to get closer to Leandro!Tsk tsk tsk!She had just thought that this Ms. Clements was not up to par, but she didn't expect her to be so cunning!Charlotte was afraid that she might inadvertently betray Leandro, so she quickly stood up to leave as soon as she finished speaking.She just didn't expect that after only a few steps, Ms. Clements called out to her again: "Ms. Bernard."Charlotte had no patience to continue this with her either. She turned her head, looking at her expressionlessly, "Ms. Clements, I'm already married to Leandro. You're a well-off young lady, I believe there are many who like you. You don't need to hang yourself on this tree named Leandro.""You were absolutely right."Daisy stood up, but instead of walking towards her, she headed for the swimming pool behind her.Charlotte
The shrieking woman's voice quickly attracted the people in the banquet hall. Charlotte had just pulled Daisy out of the swimming pool when a crowd of people surged out behind her."I saw it! I saw her push Ms. Clements into the swimming pool!"To slander her, had Daisy even arranged for people to lie blatantly?Charlotte suddenly regretted jumping down to save someone just now. If she hadn't, Daisy could have saved them as a "backup"!Charlotte put on a serious face, walked over to the shoes she had hastily taken off earlier and picked up the necklace.A necklace worth over four hundred million was lost, she couldn't afford to compensate for it!She had just picked up her shoes, planning to go find Leandro for support, when Marissa came over surrounded by people, "What's going on? Daisy, why are you like this?"Daisy was probably choked by the water, and was now there, coughing and spitting out water.Before she could speak, t
The two of them arrived home exactly at five o'clock. Charlotte got out of the car and watched as Leandro opened the back seat door, only then realizing that she had forgotten the things she bought.She instinctively reached out to take it, but Leandro gave her a disdainful look and said, "Are you afraid I'll break it?"She looked embarrassed and said, "No."Leandro laughed and asked, "What did you buy?"This was the second time he asked her this question.Just now in the car, Charlotte couldn't answer the question. Now at home, she simply pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you a little gift."After saying that, she added somewhat embarrassedly, "It's really just a small gift."After all, she couldn't afford the big gift.Leandro raised an eyebrow and said, "This one?"He had two bags in his hands, both of them were about the same size. In addition, there was a necklace that Charlotte liked, it wasn't exp
Charlotte blinked her eyes, knowing that Leandro had misunderstood, but upon hearing his words, a warm feeling enveloped her heart.She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked at the fruit tea in her hand. "Do you still want to drink it?"Just as the green light in front turned red, the car couldn't pass. Leandro slowly stopped the car and said, "Damn it."This time, without him saying a word, Charlotte took the initiative to hand the straw to his lips.As he was drinking, she finally spoke up and explained, "Actually, I wasn't worried that she would lure you away -"The words "hook up" are a bit difficult to mention. Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing, "I have been dealing with Lydia for so many years, so I know her quite well. If it really was her, then she must have come after me.""But it didn't really matter that she was coming towards me, because she couldn't really do anything anyway."In the past years, Lydi
Charlotte had just replied to Elizabeth's message when Leandro's message popped up.Leandro: I arrived.Charlotte caught sight of this message and instinctively looked up.The black Bentley was parked on the side of the road, and Charlotte saw it at a glance.She took her phone, grabbed the bag, and ran over.Today the weather was a bit hot, and when Charlotte ran to the car, sweat broke out on her forehead.Leandro took the shopping bag from her hands, placed it on the back seat, watched her get into the car, and then closed the car door for her before returning to the driver's seat."Why are you in such a hurry? I can't run, you know?"Charlotte had just fastened her seatbelt when she heard his words and felt a bit awkward: "It's easy to get a parking ticket here."Leandro slightly curled his lips and said, "It's fine to give Mrs. Romero a ticket."Charlotte listened to his words and felt as if something gently
Over the weekend, there was some traffic congestion on the Global side, and Elizabeth's taxi was still about two kilometers away.Leandro also said it would take another half an hour to arrive, allowing Charlotte to wander around a bit more.Elizabeth saw Charlotte finish the call and raised an eyebrow, "Lottie, Mr. Romero didn't come so quickly, did he?"Charlotte nodded, "It would take about half an hour to come over.""Should we buy a cup of latte to drink?"Charlotte thought for a moment, "Alright."It is better to not stand here foolishly.The crowd here today was really big, and there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the latte shop.Charlotte ordered a cup of fruit tea milkshake, the receipt came out, and there were seventeen people in front.Fortunately, the staff at the latte shop were quite efficient. After waiting for about ten minutes, there were only seven people left.Elizabeth looke
Charlotte actually didn't have much experience buying gifts for the opposite sex. Greyson's gifts were easy to buy, and he didn't pay much attention to his appearance. Whatever Charlotte bought; he was happy.As for Marcus, she had only sincerely given two gifts. One was a valuable watch with collectible value, and the other was a gift she personally prepared. However, Marcus did not cherish them, and even the gift he gave her on their anniversary was extremely perfunctory, so she just picked one casually.Anyway, he didn't care.But Leandro was different!"Liz, what do you think would be a good gift to give?"Elizabeth sighed, "Lottie, this question really stumps me! What do you think someone like Mr. Romero lacks? Well, it's not really about lacking something, to put it differently, what he likes, you might not be able to afford."Charlotte was taken aback by Elizabeth's words, although they were hurtful, they were also true.Leandr
Hanna's friend became more and more excited as she spoke: "You know, back when we were in school, Leandro was really different towards you. It's a pity that your family immigrated during high school! In all these years, I haven't heard of him having any girlfriend, I've only seen him having a good relationship with you.""You see, he told you about his marriage and even asked when you would return to your home country. Isn't this a clear hint?"Hanna smiled and denied, "You are overthinking. He had a good relationship with Mrs. Romero, didn't they trend a few times?"Hanna's friends disapproved, "Don't you know about this? Leandro has a bad relationship with his stepmother. Now that he's of age, his father wants him to get married. He married Charlotte, and we all think it's related to this! Moreover, Marco doesn't like Charlotte at all. Some people say that the first time Charlotte went to the Romero family with Leandro, she was immediately kicked out!"
Hanna almost turned away with a black face, and her friends around her didn't quite understand what they had just heard.Charlotte constantly badmouthed Hanna, and now it seems that Hanna has been cornered by Charlotte, leaving her speechless and infuriated.Hanna's friend looked at Hanna for a moment, hesitated, and then spoke, "Hanna, when did you have a conflict with Mrs. Romero?"Hanna would naturally not let her friends know about such embarrassing matters.She frowned, "I'm not sure where I offended Ms. Bernard. It might be because I have a good relationship with Lance, so Ms. Bernard misunderstood."Upon hearing Hanna's words, the friend couldn't help but say, "Is this Mrs. Romero being too sensitive?"She said, pausing for a moment, "But it's true, she also doesn't know what means she used to make Leandro marry her! Speaking of which, Hanna, you don't know, recently this Charlotte, in our circle, was really in the limelight!"
As soon as Elizabeth said this, Hanna's legs went weak for a moment.Her friend next to her reached out and gave her a hand, saying, "Hanna?"She waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing, and turned to look at Charlotte. "No need to thank me. I have known Lance for so many years, and I am also glad that he has found someone he likes so much. I wish you both happiness!"Hanna was still trying to salvage the situation, and Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly. "Ms. Norton, if you are truly happy and truly wish us well, I hope that next time you won't mention Leandro's name.""I remember the last time we played golf; Leandro made it clear that his name, except for his grandfather, would not be called by anyone else, and he also didn't like being called by others. Look at me, his wife, I also just call him Leandro, right?""Also, as his wife, I didn't really want to hear other women calling my husband by his name. After all, it's such an intimate
Obviously, Hanna also saw Charlotte and Elizabeth.Hanna has had a hard time accepting that Charlotte was Charlene's thing until now.She certainly couldn't accept it, after all, she had said so many things in front of Charlotte before.Making her admit that Charlotte is Charlene, isn't that just asking for a slap in the face?Of course, it is a fact that Charlotte was Charlene, and even if Hanna pretended to be deaf and dumb, she couldn't resist.After all these days, she could hear someone asking her every now and then, "Is Leandro's wife really Charlene?"She returned to her home country this time quite ostentatiously. Just after her return, people in her circle were inquiring about how well she had been doing abroad and why she suddenly came back.Back then, Hanna was determined to win over Leandro, although she didn't explicitly say it, she did mention phrases like "for the person I like" and "for love."Her family immigra
