"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
It seemed that Leandro had gone to the study. She had just seen him enter the study when she was going upstairs earlier.Charlotte walked straight to the study and knocked on the door, "Mr. Romero, are you in there?"The door wasn't shut tightly. She only knocked twice and the door opened a bit inward.Charlotte was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't, and was about to close the door by pulling the handle. However, just as her hand touched the handle, a force pulled it inward.The next second, the door was pulled open, she was led inside, her foot slipped, she lost her balance, and she fell directly onto Leandro's chest.She awkwardly lifted her head, just in time to meet the man's lowered gaze. Her eyes collided directly into his deep black pupils. Charlotte awkwardly stepped back, "Mr. Romero."Leandro took in the embarrassment on her face, his gaze sweeping over her reddened ear tips, his eyebrows and eyes slightly moving, "Sleepwalk
Charlotte was typically one to take the easy way out, no matter what kind of game Daisy was playing. But her gaze was simply irresistible to her."May I take a look then?"Leandro didn't speak, Charlotte took it as his consent.With a happy face, Daisy picked up the gift box and handed it to Charlotte.Charlotte took the box, unwrapped the ribbon, and upon opening it, found another small gift box inside.Where was the Russian nesting doll?Was Daisy waiting for her here?Charlotte paused in her actions, subconsciously looking up at Daisy, who still had that hopeful look in her eyes.Leandro was right here, Daisy wouldn't really make a move on her in front of Leandro, would she?With that thought, Charlotte immediately picked up the small gift box. Upon opening it, she found that there was only a piece of paper inside.To be precise, it was a shopping voucher.To be more precise, it was a purchase receipt fo
Leandro placed the picked-out fish meat onto her dish: "Indeed, it's not very high.""...Thank you."The concept of money for the rich was indeed different from hers!"Did you lack money?""No, it wasn't.""Mm-hmm."Leandro glanced at her, "If you're short of money, let me know, I can--lend it to you!""Thank you."There was absolutely no need!The matter had already been reported, next was to sign a contract with Dangelo.Dangelo's agent had already spoken with Caroline. After Charlotte finished lunch, she received a call from Caroline asking her to go out and sign a contract.Charlotte was somewhat surprised, "That fast?""Dangelo said over there that their company was pushing hard."Charlotte didn't think much either, "Oh, oh, oh, okay!"She had originally planned to take a nap, but now she could only change her clothes and go out to sign the contract.With the temperature out
Just when Charlotte thought Leandro was about to kiss her, the warm breath suddenly disappeared.Charlotte subconsciously opened her eyes, her gaze directly colliding with those dark pupils.Leandro had already reined in his energy, looking at her with a smile, "You're right, it's indeed a bit not so good."Charlotte looked at those thin lips, not knowing why, upon hearing his words, she surprisingly felt a bit of regret.The expression on her face was just too obvious. Leandro looked at her, "You seem to regret it?"Charlotte was startled and quickly denied in a series, "I'm not, I didn't, I can't!"The man hooked up his thin lips, his eyes full of deep meaning: "Hmm."Charlotte was really feeling guilty, "I'm going to practice the piano!"Without waiting for a response, she immediately ran upstairs and entered the piano room.Her heart was pounding so fast as if it was about to burst out of her chest at any moment.
Charlotte buried her head, "Could you please leave first, Mr. Romero?"She was clearly a clever person, so why did she act like a dumb penguin whenever she was around Leandro?"If you keep squatting like this, your blood circulation will be affected when you stand up later, and you will feel dizzy."Leandro spoke, pausing for a moment, "And now you're on the stairs, can you guarantee that you won't get dizzy and fall when you get up later? Is face more important or is life more important?""..."Alright, life matters.Charlotte bit her lip, decided to let go completely, released her own hands, looked up at Leandro, and said, "Mr. Romero, don't you think I'm like a stupid penguin?""Not like that."Charlotte secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this relief didn't last for two seconds before she heard the other person speak again: "Like a stupid rabbit.""..."Alright, she knew it, the "stupid image" she had in f
Leandro had just come in from swimming, his hair still dripping with water. The droplets at the ends of his hair slid down the man's chiseled cheeks and finally dropped to the ground.He was wearing a bathrobe, but it was draped casually, with the neckline almost open, revealing most of his clearly defined muscles to Charlotte."Have you finished your breakfast?"Charlotte quickly averted her gaze, "Just finished eating."Damn!No comparison, no harm!Lived under the same roof!She didn't finish her breakfast until nine o'clock, by which time Leandro had already gone for a round of exercise and come back!No wonder he had such a good figure, while she couldn't even get a vest line!She was such a noob!Leandro nodded, picking up the bathrobe to wipe his hair.Due to his movement, the bathrobe was lifted, almost exposing his upper body.Charlotte once again clearly saw those eight-pack abs, and all th
Charlotte didn't know if Leandro had insomnia, but she herself didn't sleep well the whole night.The cell phone alarm rang, Charlotte struggled for a while but resignedly answered the call."Just woke up?"A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Charlotte listened, finding it somewhat familiar, but for the moment, she couldn't remember who it was."Who were you?""It seems Ms. Bernard really is a busy person. Last time, you mentioned that there might be a part-time job and we could contact you again."Charlotte had just woken up a moment ago, feeling a bit dazed and her mind was somewhat sluggish.But by then, she had already remembered who the person was: "Dangelo?!""Congratulations, Ms. Bernard, you guessed correctly."Charlotte was taken aback, the last bit of sleepiness completely gone, "Is there something you need?""Of course, I was going on tour next month, and the first stop was Aelmere. Ther
Charlotte's breath hitched, she stared at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry..."She said, reaching out to take the phone.Leandro didn't give her a hard time, he simply let go and placed the phone directly in her hand.Charlotte took the phone, her ear burning, and guiltily glanced at Leandro.You didn't see it, did you?The driver ahead was apologizing, saying that a delivery vehicle suddenly rushed out.Leandro didn't say much, "Drive."Larry secretly wiped off his sweat, driving even more cautiously.The carriage fell silent again, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Leandro didn't react, which meant he didn't see it.Actually, it wasn't a big deal even when she saw it, she didn't say much to Elizabeth, it was all words of praise for him!Ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa.Charlotte and Leandro got out of the car, and the two of them walked side by side from the garage to the livi
Meanwhile.Sitting in the car, Charlotte was reflecting on everything that had just happened, wondering if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.How did she just - just run straight into Leandro's arms?Thinking back to the moment when she had bumped into Leandro, her heart would still involuntarily quicken at the memory.You were so pathetic, Charlotte!It was just a play, why are you still here blushing like a primary school kid who has never been in love?But he was Leandro, yeah!Right, he was Leandro!The cream of the crop among men!"What were you thinking about?"In the quiet carriage, a male voice suddenly sounded.Charlotte paused for a moment, looked up at the man beside her, and blurted out as usual, "Thinking about the best among men."No sooner had her words fallen than she distinctly saw a strange change in Leandro's facial expression.His dark eyes were fixed on her, and
Leandro's sudden appearance clearly shattered Marcus's "illusion".Of course, he also slapped Tiana and Daisy hard.Daisy had been dissatisfied with Marcus's insistence on staying, but thinking that Charlotte was just showing off, she thought it might not be a bad idea to stay and watch the spectacle.Just a few minutes had passed, and Leandro appeared!The three of them had different thoughts, but Elizabeth was very pleased.She was about to make a sarcastic remark, when a young man in a suit, holding an umbrella, glanced her way, "Hello, are you Miss Elizabeth, a friend of Mrs. Romero?"Elizabeth was somewhat taken aback, staring at the man in front of her. It took her a couple of seconds to nod and say, "Yes, it's me. What's up?""I was Mr. Romero's secretary, Melvin. Mr. Romero sent me to take you home, Ms. Farrell. With such heavy rain, it's hard to get a cab."The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough f
"Boo hoo hoo, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match in terms of social status!""It was enough that my boyfriend was handsome, but he would also come to pick me up whenever it rained. This kind of on-call availability, I was truly envious."Angela walked under Marcus's umbrella amidst the envious gazes and sounds of the crowd.When she hooked up with Marcus, she gave Tiana Flynn a wink.Tiana glanced in Charlotte's direction and spoke up directly, "Mr. Gallagher, Ms. Bernard is also here, won't you give her a ride as well?"Marcus's face changed slightly, he turned around and quickly spotted Charlotte in the crowd."Lottie."He restrainedly shouted.In the crowd, Charlotte, suddenly cued, said: "..."She somewhat regretted stopping Elizabeth from tearing Tiana's mouth.Before Marcus could speak, Angela asked generously, "Ms. Bernard, would you like a ride?""No need, someone came to pick me
