"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
Charlotte felt that there was something missing from the tie in her hand. She put it back and picked another one, then walked back to the suit and compared it again.However, doing it this way, the effect was slightly worse. She simply put on the tie and took two steps back, intending to see the result.I took a step back unwillingly, only to collide with the man's solid chest.Charlotte was startled for a moment and instinctively turned around, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry!"She lowered her head and looked at her foot that she had accidentally stepped on, "I didn't notice you."She lifted her head again and looked at Leandro's face, cautiously asking, "Did I not step on you?""No."His black eyes glanced at her, and Leandro withdrew his hand that was resting on her shoulder, "Choosing a tie?"Charlotte frowned and said, "My taste in aesthetics might not be very good.""Who said that?"She didn't react immediately, "Huh
Upon hearing this, Joyce hastened her movements. "Almost done, ma'am. Just wait for another five minutes!""It's okay, I was just asking."Poor Joyce, she really couldn't find any other excuses to run away.After clarifying her thoughts, Charlotte began to make an effort to restrain her feelings for Leandro.At least, at least don't always stare at others infatuatedly!It's just liking someone, it's hard to control.Charlotte tried hard for several days, but the results were very poor.Especially after realizing that she had developed feelings for Leandro, she no longer felt as comfortable around him as she used to.Several times, she couldn't bear it anymore and just made excuses to run away.Just when Charlotte was suffering in this "sweet infatuation," finally came some good news: "Mr. Romero was going on a business trip!"I have been on a business trip for quite a while, seven days to be exact!Finally,
Elizabeth's suggestion can't be said to be completely absurd, but it can't be said to be reasonable either.Charlotte understood her friend's good intentions, but she personally wanted more.Although it is said that women pursue men through a veil, it is also possible that there is a mountain between them.Moreover, she had initially used a car accident to threaten Leandro into marrying her, forcing him to get involved. Now, although they have a cooperative relationship, she has other intentions.If Leandro knew that she was interested, would he think she was despicable?She... didn't want to be seen that way in his eyes!Even if you want to pursue, at least wait until the contract ends, right?Charlotte made a decision and kept all her thoughts to herself.Joyce came up and called her to have lunch. Charlotte was embarrassed, she didn't expect that she had been tangled up all morning, for over three hours, and hadn't done anyt
"Is that so?"Leandro took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped his hands.Charlotte heard these words, and her hands trembled beneath her. "Yes, yes."She said and chuckled, "Mr. Romero, you go to work, I occasionally have a poor appetite."Leandro looked at her for a moment and said, "Hmm."He did not ask any further and got up from the table.He took two steps and then stopped, turning around to look at Charlotte, who was relieved. "Yesterday afternoon, thank you," he said."No, no need to thank."She was the one who caused more trouble compared to him.Leandro averted his gaze, turned around, and went upstairs.Soon, Charlotte saw him coming down from upstairs, having tied his tie."Safe travels, Mr. Romero."Charlotte raised her hand and waved, Leandro glanced at her and responded faintly with a "Hmm" before leaving.Soon, Charlotte heard the sound of a car engine outside.She purs
How should this question be answered?How could she not be moved?But what was their relationship?They were a fake couple!Charlotte glanced at Leandro and quickly said, "You go eat, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep, goodnight!"After saying that, she turned around and ran away!In just five or six seconds, a "bang" of the closing door was heard.The man looked at the closed door of the guest room and curved his thin lips, a smile appearing in his dark eyes. "Did your heart skip a beat?"Hmm, that's great.Lying in bed, Charlotte listened to the sound of her rapidly beating heart, grateful that she had run fast, otherwise she would have been done for!Liz said it well, a man like Leandro, no woman could resist being attracted to him.Charlotte couldn't help but sigh, regretting her unwarranted thoughts.Be more dedicated, Charlotte!You are currently cooperating with each other and benefiti
Charlotte sat on the ground for a while, thinking that it had been quite some time since the two of them went down. If they didn't go back up soon, Joyce would probably call the police.It was just the drunk Leandro...Charlotte stood up, leaning on the wine cabinet behind her. She looked down at the man still sitting there and said, "Mr. Romero, shall we go upstairs?"Upon hearing her words, the man lifted his head and looked at her for a moment with his dark eyes, asking, "What are you going up for?"Listen!Is this the kind of question that Leandro would normally ask?"I went upstairs to have a meal."She said, reaching out her hand, and pulled him up.He got up with her help and said, "I had no appetite."Drunk, of course, the appetite was not good!"Did you go up to rest?"He furrowed his brows, pondering her proposal earnestly.After about five seconds, he nodded.Charlotte worried that
Just as she was at a loss, Charlotte suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I've got it!""Is that so?"I don't know why, but Charlotte felt that every time Leandro said "Is that so?", he didn't believe her.As soon as she heard this sentence, she felt a bit embarrassed and guilty reflexively, "Really, really!""Oh."He responded with a sound, released the hand that had fallen on her back, but the left hand on her back remained unretracted.Charlotte could feel him gently touching her cervical vertebrae, each touch was light, as if he had touched her, yet as if he hadn't."You got drunk twice before, and both times you really enjoyed it when I touched you.""I, I don't remember.""Shall I help you remember?"Charlotte was dumbfounded when she heard what he said.She had no idea how to respond to this statement!How else can this be taken?"Just kidding."Just as she was at a loss, the ma
The sudden eye contact caught Charlotte off guard, leaving her completely bewildered.No, didn't you fall asleep?How can these eyes open as soon as they open?Her mind went blank for a moment, and her ears and face reacted quickly, already turning completely red.Charlotte felt her face burning hot. She looked at Leandro for a while before stammering, "You, you were asleep, weren't you?""No."Couldn't sleep?Didn't Leandro know what she had just done?This realization made Charlotte want to escape, but she couldn't escape!The man's hand was still gripping her wrist, and she tried to struggle, but he held on even tighter.The next second, Charlotte heard the other person ask in a deep voice, "What were you doing just now, Ms. Bernard?"Faced with the questioning of the parties involved, Charlotte's mind went blank. She looked at him in extreme embarrassment and said, "I, I think I was drunk, Mr. Romero."
The wine was not tasty, and the sugar was sweet.Leandro lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, he directed his hand towards the bottle opener in his hand and put the unopened bottle of wine back.Last night, he walked back to his previous position, sat down again, and reached out to take a candy from her palm.He unwrapped the candy and raised his hand to throw it into his mouth.The moment the soft candy was touched, a slight sour taste instantly spread on the taste buds, followed by a mouthful of mango flavor.He bit open the soft candy, and the sweetness immediately covered the sour taste from earlier.It was sweet.She was right.However, he was a bit greedy for more.Leandro turned his head and looked at Charlotte, who had been looking at him all along, and said, "Not sweet enough, a little sour.""Ah?"Charlotte was immediately embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the mango candy is a bit s
