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
This had already been the third time Charlotte zoned out.Elizabeth clicked her tongue lightly, sat down directly next to Charlotte, and hooked her arm over her shoulder. "Lottie, what's got you so entranced that you didn't even respond when I called you three times?"Charlotte was suddenly embraced by Elizabeth. Her thoughts immediately flew back. Looking at Elizabeth, she felt a bit guilty, "I was just thinking about something."Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"What were you thinking about?Of course, it was about the embarrassing incident last night!God knows what got into her last night. After Leandro finished his sentence, she was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched his abs.The scene at that time was extremely awkward. Even now, whenever Charlotte thought about it, she still felt so embarrassed that her scalp tingled and she wished she could just disappear.H
With an "I knew it" expression on her face, Elizabeth looked at Charlotte, who was earnestly lecturing and said, "Besides, Leandro is your legitimate husband. What's wrong with you touching him? Even if you kiss him, he can only endure it, right?"Charlotte's face was all red. Elizabeth was right, but saying such things in public was too much for her thin skin. She quickly changed the subject, "You're right! So why would Daisy want to publicly thank me?"Whenever Daisy was mentioned, Elizabeth's attention was diverted: "Speaking of which, this Ms. Clements, is really inscrutable."Charlotte let out a slight sigh of relief.At that moment, the food was served. The two of them were discussing Daisy's incredible actions while also complaining about some envious weirdos in their circle.A meal was enjoyed heartily by two best friends.Charlotte accidentally ate too much and felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, "Liz, I think I ate too much."
"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
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
