Not only Marissa was surprised and incredulous, but even Charlotte, the person involved, doubted whether Daisy's brain had been soaked in water and gone bad.
She staged this whole act, wasn't it just to frame her for pushing her into the water?
Wasn't it always written like this in novels?
Wasn't it always portrayed like this in TV dramas?
However, Daisy had denied that she was the one who pushed her down, and honestly claimed that she was her savior.
Charlotte stood behind Leandro, for the first time in her life, she felt her intelligence was somewhat inadequate.
Daisy draped the towel someone handed her over her shoulders, glancing at Charlotte behind Leandro, "Mrs. Romero, I'm sorry for startling you tonight."
The wind blew, and she sneezed. Daisy paused for a moment, then continued, "You should go change your clothes, I will definitely come to thank you another day for what happened tonight!"
After speaking, she turned arou
The shower was continuously emitting warm water, and the entire bathroom was filled with steam.Charlotte lifted her head and collided with those deep black pupils, and her heartbeat quickened for a moment.She subconsciously lowered her gaze, unintentionally landing on his bobbing Adam's apple.Hot.Charlotte curled her toes. The bathroom always evoked some risqué thoughts.She was afraid that if Leandro didn't leave, she might not be able to control herself.Charlotte took a slight breath, "Mr. Romero, could you please leave?""Mm-hmm."Leandro averted his gaze and gave a nod of acknowledgment.The lowered gaze hid the surging emotions that Charlotte had never noticed.He reached out, lifted Charlotte off the sink, slightly turned his body, and walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief, just about to undress, raising her hand, only then did she realize she was holding
"I understood."Leandro looked at her deeply, "Wait a moment, I'll have it sent over."As soon as Leandro finished speaking, Charlotte's face turned red instantly. She nodded shyly, "Oh, thank you."Was anyone more embarrassed than her?Was it gone?Charlotte numbly closed the door, every event that had occurred that night felt like a dream, not a single thing had been within her expectations.It was ten minutes later when Charlotte opened the bathroom door again. The Galloway family had prepared a little black dress for her, the hem of which only reached just above her knees.With limited time, Charlotte only managed to half-dry her hair. Although her makeup didn't come off extensively, a lot of it had worn off.Leandro had already risen from the sofa: "I'm leaving.""Huh? Just leave?"Would that have been too impolite?"Mm-hmm."Clearly, with Leandro, there was absolutely no need to worry so much.
The events of tonight felt like an incredible dream to Charlotte.However, Charlotte was not the only one who found the events of tonight unbelievable.Marissa was utterly baffled. Daisy was supposed to marry Leandro in the future, and tonight was such a great opportunity. Not only did she not take the initiative to confront Charlotte, but she even spoke up for Charlotte.Marissa thought for more than half an hour, but still couldn't figure out how Daisy's thought process worked.Having finally heard that Daisy had come out after changing into her formal dress, Marissa immediately left the noblewoman she was chatting with and, in her high heels, went to find Daisy.Not only Marissa, who didn't understand, but even Chloe Pratt, who usually had a good relationship with Daisy, couldn't understand either. "Daisy, why did you speak up for Charlotte just now?"What a great opportunity it was just now. If Daisy had just kept her mouth shut, Charlot
The events of the party quickly spread among the upper circles of Aelmere.Almost everyone in the circle could not understand Daisy's actions.Charlotte was undoubtedly the center of attention tonight, whether it was her stunning outfit when she appeared with Leandro, the incomparable "four billion plus" around her neck, or her affairs with Daisy.The "unparalleled" directly made Charlotte stand out. Someone took a photo and posted it on their social media platform. In just three hours, the hashtag #Ms. Bernard's Post-Wedding# had already surged to the fifth place on the trending list.Charlotte had just finished blow-drying her hair when she saw that her phone screen was filled with messages from Elizabeth.Elizabeth: Lottie, you're trending! [Screenshot.JPG][Screenshot.JPG]Elizabeth: Lottie, you looked so damn good tonight!Elizabeth: Did you run into Marcus tonight? He saw you this evening, he's probably going to regret it so much
"Did you think I suited this?"Leandro looked at her, his brow slightly furrowed, a hint of distaste on his face.Charlotte stared at him, "But... this necklace, it doesn't really suit me, does it?"A necklace worth over four hundred million, where would she dare to wear it casually?!"Didn't you wear it quite well tonight?"Charlotte looked embarrassed, "Looking good is one thing, but tonight's occasion is rather grand, so naturally it's different. Moreover--"She spoke, paused for a moment, "This necklace is too valuable."Leandro, however, didn't care at all: "The value of jewelry is given by people. No matter how precious it is, it's just for people to wear. It suits you well, and it can show its value just as well if you have it.""No, Mr. Romero, this necklace is really too valuable, I—"Leandro let go immediately, "If you don't want it, just throw it away. This amount of money, I never even cared about it."
At six fifty in the morning, Charlotte was once again awakened by the urge to urinate, she groped her way to the bathroom with her eyes closed.Yesterday was just too exhausting, she can't even open her eyes now.After using the bathroom, she returned to bed with her eyes closed.In a daze, Charlotte felt as if her hand had touched something that also seemed to be a "hand".Wrong!How could there be other things on her bed?Realizing this, Charlotte instantly woke up.She opened her eyes, meeting the man's deep black pupils.Leandro?What was going on, how could Leandro be on her bed?What happened last night?Charlotte's mind went completely blank, staring at Leandro's brows and eyes close at hand, and the familiar woody scent that kept wafting over, all served as reminders to her.She was now sharing a bed with Leandro!This fact was even more shocking than her running naked while drunk!
Leandro looked at Charlotte, whose face and neck were flushed red, a hint of amusement floating in his dark eyes.Charlotte was looking down, contemplating the feasibility of living on another planet, naturally, she couldn't see the twinkling laughter in those dark eyes.The awkward and inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere lasted for about half a minute. After Charlotte had mentally prepared herself, she finally lifted her head and looked back at Leandro, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero, I didn't expect that my sleepwalking would do such a thing...""I knew the damage had already been done, and no amount of apologies from me would make a difference. So, tell me a solution that you think would make you feel better. As long as it's not illegal, I can agree to it."Who wouldn't be angry if they were suddenly woken up in the middle of the night by a person of the opposite sex who started biting their ear and kissing their collarbone?Leandro didn't beat her up las
Charlotte hadn't expected Elizabeth to be so sensitive, she felt guilty and didn't dare to reply to Elizabeth's messages anymore.She sat on the bed, trying hard to recall how she had ended up in Leandro's room the night before.She didn't seem to sleep very well last night, she had many dreams, some of which were even dreams within dreams.Looking back now, it seemed like she had dreamt of passionately kissing Leandro!Was it a dream that was dreamed?She didn't kiss Leandro while holding him last night, did she?The more Charlotte thought about it, the more scared she became. She didn't even know she was such a fierce woman!Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.Let this matter be in the past!Having relieved herself for a while, Charlotte's stomach issued a dissatisfied protest.She glanced down at her shriveled stomach and couldn't help but sigh.There was nothing I could do even
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
