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
Daisy paused for a moment, then quickly pulled out a check from her bag, directly filling it out for five million, and immediately handed it to Charlotte: "Money is a good thing, Ms. Bernard really has taste!"Charlotte looked at the five-million-dollar check, not knowing how things had gotten to this point.Seeing that she didn't accept, Daisy immediately misunderstood, "Is it because the money is too little?"Leandro, who was standing aside, had the audacity to say, "Do you think my wife would lack this five million?"For the first time, Daisy felt that Leandro was right. She nodded, "Indeed, how about that ten million? No, no, that's still not enough. How about thirty million? My pocket money is a bit short this year..."In the end, Daisy was somewhat embarrassed.She filled out a new check for thirty million and stuffed it directly into Charlotte's hand, "Don't despise it, Mrs. Romero! I received a bonus at the end of the year, I'll give
Leandro was clearly taken aback, his dark eyes flickering slightly before his deep gaze fell directly onto her face, "Dating?"Charlotte's face was flushed red, standing there, her scalp tingling with embarrassment, so much so that it felt like she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from it.She quickly raised her hand and slapped her own mouth twice, "I was just joking, trying to lighten the serious atmosphere, right? Ahahaha, wasn't it funny?"So embarrassing!She really wanted to escape!Fortunately, at that moment, Leandro's phone rang.Before he could speak, Charlotte took the initiative to tactfully say, "I just remembered something," and turned to run upstairs.Returning to the room, Charlotte plunged her head into the pillow.Thinking of the nonsense I had just spouted, I wished I could sew my own mouth shut.She rolled over twice in bed, recalling Daisy's check for thirty million.Charlotte picked up
Without hesitation for even two seconds, Charlotte quickly accepted the friend request.However, after the other party added the friend, they didn't say anything at all. The friend page of the two was completely blank, with only one sentence, "You have added the note, you can start chatting now."Charlotte raised an eyebrow, wondering what Daisy had up her sleeve for her. Before she could figure out what Daisy might do to her, Elizabeth suddenly threw over a screenshot: [Screenshot.JPG] What drama is Ms. Clements singing this time?Charlotte clicked on the screenshot and found out that Daisy had actually posted a thank you statement on Twitter, and even tagged her Twitter.Daisy, Chloe's daughter, was always active on Twitter and had quite a few fans. She was known as Princess Chloe.Her Twitter was mostly trending by default most of the time.This time was no exception.Daisy's Twitter had only been posted for two hours, and it was a
Meanwhile, the "Aelmere Handsome 4" Line group on Leandro's phone had blown up.Aidan: What's going on, Daisy? Why is the whole internet thanking your wife? @LeandroMichael: I heard that the person Daisy actually likes is your wife... @LeandroNathan: Your 'unparalleled' pales in comparison to Daisy's universal gratitude, Leandro.Aidan: @Leandro, Daisy made such a big fuss just to say thanks, it's really hard not to doubt her true intentions towards Charlotte!Aidan: @Leandro, how were you feeling at that moment, Leandro?What was the feeling?Ha.Leandro immediately tossed his phone aside, got up from the master bedroom, walked to the guest room door, and knocked.Charlotte was in a daze when she suddenly heard a knock at the door. She lifted her head and blankly stared for two seconds before regaining a bit of her senses and got up to open the door.The person standing at the door, unsurprisingly, was Leandro,
Daisy's actions not only baffled people in the circle but also inadvertently slapped Marissa and Marco in the face.The rumors of the union between the Romero family and the Clements family had already started circulating five years ago.Daisy returned to her country last year, and the Romero family and the Clements family even sat down together for a meal.It was not until this year that Leandro suddenly married Charlotte, that the matter of the alliance gradually subsided.But last night, Marissa took Daisy to the Welllyn Group's party, the meaning of which couldn't have been more obvious.Although Charlotte and Leandro had obtained their marriage certificate, they had never held a wedding ceremony. Whenever Marissa socialized, she always conveyed Marco's dissatisfaction with Charlotte, his daughter-in-law.With all these pieces of news linked together, everyone felt that Leandro and Charlotte were bound to divorce sooner or later, and Dai
"Is there something wrong?"Leandro pulled on a bathrobe, covering his eight-pack abs, but the wide neckline was a bit low.Charlotte struggled to regain her composure, pretending to look at him nonchalantly, "I just received a call, it was from your father's secretary.""What was said?"Leandro turned and walked into the room, Charlotte hesitated for a moment but had no choice but to follow him in."...said your father wanted to see me, at half past twelve tomorrow noon at Beachmarsh Restaurant.""Don't mind him."Charlotte nodded, "Actually, I didn't really want to see him either.""Mm-hmm."Leandro responded, "Do you need a follow-up for your leg?""Yes, the follow-up appointment was tomorrow.""In the morning?""Um, the morning call."Leandro furrowed his brows, "Call me after your follow-up appointment, I'll come to pick you up."He had a meeting in the morning, which he couldn't c
Hearing her words, Leandro suddenly burst into laughter.The man's laughter was deep and rich. Charlotte listened, her face rolling through wave after wave of heat.She hung her head, wishing she could dig a hole right there and bury herself.Leandro laughed for a while before he finally stopped and said, "No need to compensate.""But--"She tore the sofa!A sofa worth over three million!"Feeling guilty?"Charlotte kept nodding. This sofa worth more than three million probably cured her nervous habit of constantly picking at her fingers!After all, not everyone was as kind and generous as Leandro!Ah, Leandro was such a good man!Leandro looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you know how to massage?"Charlotte didn't understand, but still sincerely replied, "A little."Greyson had a problem with migraines, she learned some massage techniques and would massage him whenever she had time."I di
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
