Both Greyson and Charlotte drew a distance from the Gallagher family during the meal.It made Marcus's heart sink gradually. Raymond and his wife lost their appetite. Lauren didn't care about it and enjoyed the meal.Half an hour later, reminded by Marisa, Lauren finally put down her fork. The waiter came in to clean the table and served them fruit and dessert.Raymond prepared wine. But Greyson said he wouldn't drink as he came for something serious.The meal was over. It was time to have a talk.Raymond sighed, "Greyson, I know we are to blame in terms of the wedding. We should say sorry to you and Lottie. I didn't stop him from mistakes and terrible behaviors."Greyson, Lottie, I'm sorry!"Raymond paused and suddenly opened a bottle of wine. He poured a glass of wine for himself and finished up.Greyson frowned and saw him pouring another glass of wine. He reached out to stop Raymond. "Raymond, you..."Raymond pushed his hand away. "It's my fault. I am not a good father!"Then he d
She withdrew her hand and looked up at Marcus. "Aren't you kneeling to apologize to me?"Charlotte's words make Raymond and Marisa's faces change greatly.Lauren was surprised too. She looked at Marcus and then Charlotte. "Do you really want him to kneel and apologize to get your forgiveness?"It was the others' doubt too. Marisa also took the change to ease the tense. "It's modern time. No one kneels! We only kneel to our ancestors! This is ominous, Lottie."Charlotte looked at Marcus. "Last night, my dad told me you would kneel and apologize. That's why I am here."She was blunt, giving him no turning over.Marcus had never been so embarrassed. He looked at her. "Lottie, will you forgive me if I do that?""It's up to me if I will forgive you. But it's up to you if you will apologize in that way."Hearing this, Marisa looked unhappy and wanted to say something, only to be stopped by Raymond.Marisa wanted Charlotte to be her daughter-in-law. But Aelmere was a big city. Charlotte was
Marcus smashed the glass onto the ground. As it fell, a dull bang sounded, ending the meal tonight.Only Lydia's sobbing could be heard in the box. She was pulled up by Marcus and kept crying with her head down.Charlotte glanced at the glass. It didn't break. But the tea flowed out into the carpet.She watched quietly and didn't withdraw her gaze until all the tea penetrated the carpet.Charlotte felt that the tea in the glass was like her last hope. It was finally gone.She didn't feel as sad as she had imagined. Instead, she felt relieved."It's over, Marcus."Her tone was light. But everyone could hear her.After that, Charlotte picked up her bag and pushed her wheelchair away.Her simple words were so heavy for Marcus. It hurt him a lot.Marcus raised his hand to grab Charlotte subconsciously. But when he reached out, Charlotte moved her hand as if she had expected it and avoided him.Her wheelchair moving on the carpet made small noises. It was hard to hear them.But soon, the n
After the elevator door closed, only Charlotte, Greyson, and Leandro were there.Leandro stood behind Charlotte with one hand on the handle of the wheelchair and the other down casually. His fingertip touched her back by accident, which tickled. She moved forward subconsciously.It caught Leandro's attention. He lowered his head and looked at her hands, his dark eyes moving.Greyson didn't notice it. He glanced at Leandro and thought of what had happened. He thought it was necessary to explain. "Mr. Romero, don't get Lottie wrong. We came here tonight to cut off the Gallagher family."Hearing his words, Charlotte subconsciously looked up at Leandro, who was behind her. She thought of her brief answer "for dinner" just now and somehow felt a bit guilty.Charlotte pressed her lips and said, "Marcus said he would kneel and apologize.""Really? Did he?"Leandro looked down at her with curiosity in his dark eyes."No.""OK."He replied and looked at Greyson. "Mr. Bernard, don't worry. I tr
Charlotte and Greyson got closer. But Marcus was in a bad situation.Charlotte and Greyson left without hesitation. The relationship between the two families ended after the meal.Marisa looked at Lydia on the ground angrily. "Ms. Wagner, you're still on the ground. Do you want others to misunderstand me?"Lauren was disdainful and said bluntly, "Is Marcus blind? He didn't choose Charlotte but this woman?"Hearing her words, Lydia clenched her fists on the ground. Even Charlotte had never humiliated her like this. But Lauren was so offensive!Just then, Marcus, who had tried to get Charlotte back, came back. Seeing him, Lydia struggled to get up and fell into his arms on purpose.Marcus supported her subconsciously and then looked down at Lydia, who had tears down her face with wet hair.He paused. "Forget about what happened tonight, Lydia."Lydia pressed her lips and shook her head weakly. "It's my fault! If it weren't for me, Lottie would have forgiven you! Marcus, Lauren is right.
It was the best night Charlotte had. She slept well and didn't wake up until 7:30 am. After washing up, she picked up her phone and found that she had got a message late at night."Charlotte, you can't win against me."The strong complacency was familiar. Charlotte could tell who sent the message.However, Lydia was a coward. She texted Charlotte with different numbers every time.Charlotte glanced at it, remaining calm.Soon, she knew why Lydia was so smug.Elizabeth sent her dozens of messages. Charlotte realized what was going on after checking all the screenshots. Elizabeth complained a lot.Elizabeth: "I can't believe it! She should have been an actress. Why is she always against you?""Well, she's indeed not pretty enough to be an actress.""It's a meal between your families. Did she show up to meet her future mother-in-law? She thinks Marcus's mother will like her?""She must be leading public opinion with trending topics. That's all her trick. Does she think you're stupid?"**
"Oh ... didn't Ms. Bernard go too far? Just make it decent. She didn't have to ask him to kneel! Ms. Wagner even cried like that...""In fact, after watching the video, I understood why Mr. Gallagher escaped from the wedding! Ms. Bernard is so mean!""She asked him to kneel! That's humiliating! She even poured hot tea onto Ms. Wagner's head! Is she crazy? She even smiled while doing that! Oh, no! Her smile is crazy!""Why did she have to be so mean to another woman? Charlotte is so vicious. No wonder Marcus doesn't like her anymore."***People scolded Charlotte in the comments of the second video. Many people watched it and claimed that Charlotte deserved a ruined wedding.Lydia was whitewashed because of the other video.Of course, some people were rational and smart. But their small voices were soon engulfed by people's angry criticism.Such videos easily caught people's attention. The person who released the video even used an eye-catching title.Within half an hour, "reasonable e
Elizabeth saw Charlotte's post and reposted it at once. She also commented, "I've been Charlotte's friend for two decades. I know how hard she tried to tolerate them. If Charlotte hadn't been so kind and low-key, I would have exposed what Lydia had done! Lydia is innocent? Would an innocent woman call Charlotte to show off at midnight? Would an innocent woman be in trouble or danger at crucial moments? Would an innocent woman suddenly interrupt their meal?"Charlotte provided much information in her post. She didn't exaggerate about her chats with Marcus with the screenshots shown clearly.During the two years when she dated Marcus, Lydia's name came out on all important days. Everyone could tell Lydia was purposeful.Elizabeth seemed to not have said much. But what she said was worth digging.Such shocking news broke the peace in the early morning. People made comments on the way to work."A twist! Tsk, I knew Ms. Wagner is no pushover! How could they blame Ms. Bernard? Come on! It w
Charlotte woke up the next day close to eleven o'clock, got up and realized she was still wearing a dress. The events of last night slowly came back to her mind.She was sober and rational when the incident happened, but she couldn't help but hug and kiss Leandro.Obviously, alcohol gave him courage.After realizing that she had done something absurd again, Charlotte felt extremely embarrassed but did not feel the slightest bit of regret.She was indeed influenced by Elizabeth!She raised her hand and rubbed her face, and her stomach made a grumbling sound, expressing its emptiness.Charlotte quickly got out of bed and, while changing her clothes, she realized that the zipper of her skirt was open!Did she not zip up when she went to the party last night?It's impossible. She checked it carefully before going out, and the zipper was closed properly. Now, after waking up from a nap, the zipper is open!Last night, there w
Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Was it really that painful?""..."Is this a difficult question to answer?Charlotte turned her head to the other side, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead.The man just sat closer, and the refreshing scent of wood on his body occasionally wafted over, always enticing her to lean towards him.Charlotte was struggling between reason and morality, and finally welcomed the dawn of victory. Her blood test report finally came out!All indicators in the report were normal.Charlotte quickly stood up from her chair and said, "Mr. Romero, let's go home!"Go home, worst case scenario, she can count ten thousand sheep to fall asleep."Better go see a doctor."Charlotte remembered the doctor's ghostly gaze and had no courage to go back and see him."Go back, go back!"She couldn't care about being reserved at the moment, and instinctively she grabbed Leandro's arm and
"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"The doctor began to ask questions.Charlotte instinctively looked at Leandro. "She had a few drinks, so someone might have spiked her drink."The doctor furrowed his brow and asked, "What symptoms do you have?""Let your wife speak."This time, Leandro didn't speak, so the doctor spoke first.The culprit Charlotte quickly spoke up, "It's a bit hot, always feeling thirsty and unable to sleep.""What else?"The doctor listened to the heartbeat and breathing while asking.Some things were difficult for Charlotte to speak about. Under the doctor's gaze, she clenched her hands and trembled as she spoke in a quivering voice, "There's this strange feeling in my body, I don't know how to describe it, it's just not quite normal..."You understand, right, doctor?"There shouldn't be any major issues. Go get an electrocardiogram, measure your blood pressure, and have a
She raised her hand and hooked it around the back of the man's neck, tilting her face and pretending to casually lean against Leandro's chest.Leandro, as expected, carried her so fast without even getting out of breath or having a racing heartbeat!Wow, my body was really good.The CEO in the novel who can strive seven times in one night is Mr. Romero, right?Charlotte, can you stop overthinking, please?After a journey of wandering thoughts, Charlotte was finally carried to the entrance of the emergency room. Compared to other patients who came to the emergency department, Charlotte, with a slightly flushed face, appeared very healthy.She was placed by Leandro on a chair outside the door, and Leandro went to register her.Charlotte subconsciously got up and started to think about the past, but the man had already guessed her thoughts. Like comforting a child, he raised his hand and touched her head, saying, "Wait for me here."
His thin lips lingered on her lips for two seconds, and Charlotte could clearly feel the soft and warm touch."Kissed, and then what?"The man's voice was deep and mellow, inexplicably pleasant to listen to.The softness on her lips withdrew, leaving her with a slight feeling of reluctance in her heart.Charlotte blinked her eyes and looked at Leandro's close eyebrows and eyes. She said, almost involuntarily, "I still want to kiss."Charlotte froze, when did she become like this?Are you crazy, Charlotte?How could such words be spoken?Just think about it!Leandro looked at her, his black eyes dark and deep. It seemed that he hadn't expected her to say that, and his eyes were momentarily stunned. However, they quickly returned to normal.He raised his hand and directly slapped her on the back of her head.Charlotte stared at him blankly as he kissed her for the second time, her heart pounding like a drum a
While daydreaming, the car had already entered the garage.Soon, Leandro had parked the car.The garage was brightly lit, and only then did Leandro notice that Charlotte's cheeks were flushed and her dark eyes had deepened. "We're here."Charlotte came to her senses and looked up to see that she had already arrived home."Oh oh oh."She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and got out.As soon as the person got out of the car, they felt a little dizzy, wondering what was going on."Legs hurt?"Charlotte stood up and awkwardly glanced at Leandro, "No, I felt a bit dizzy."Not only was I a little dizzy, but I was also a little hot.Charlotte subconsciously raised her hand and touched her cheek, realizing it was a bit hot. She was startled and said, "Am I running a fever?""I drank alcohol."He spoke in declarative sentences, not in interrogative sentences.Charlotte thought
The car slowly came to a stop as the traffic light turned red.Just as Charlotte looked at Leandro again, the man also turned his head towards her.Their eyes met, and Charlotte's mind went blank for two seconds, her ears instantly turning red.The black pupils moved slightly, "Is it good-looking?"Charlotte's face flushed. "...It's beautiful."How else could I have watched all the way?Leandro tapped his hand on the steering wheel and said, "Can we look at it when we get home?"He said, slightly furrowing his brows, seeming a bit distressed and troubled, "When you look at me like this, I easily get distracted while driving, which is not very safe."Charlotte listened to his words, and for a moment, she was stunned. Without thinking, she instinctively clenched her own thigh and said, "I'm sorry, I will never look again."Oh no, how embarrassing.However, Leandro seemed to know what she was thinking, and suddenly c
Meanwhile, Daisy, who was just about to go and find Charlotte, learned from her friend that Charlotte and Leandro had left ten minutes ago.Did you leave?Did you leave so quickly?Daisy's mood visibly dropped, and her friend next to her quickly asked, "Daisy, what's wrong? Why do you seem not very happy?"Daisy glanced at her friend and said, "She seems a bit upset. How did Charlotte leave so quickly?"Daisy's friend: "?"Did you treat Charlotte a little too well?A good friend couldn't help but remind her, "Um, Daisy, it seems like you and Charlotte were rivals!""What love rival relationship? My family has already severed ties with the Romero family!"Daisy's friend: "...because of Charlotte?""It was and it wasn't."Daisy waved her hand; her friend was very puzzled. "Daisy, why are you so good to Charlotte?""She saved me!""But you had already thanked..."The Daisy she knew didn't
A sudden "honey" caught the attention of most of the people at the party.Charlotte regretted as soon as she shouted, watching Leandro walking step by step from the crowd, she wished she could disappear!Leandro walked directly up to Charlotte and took her hand, asking, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"Her gaze fell on the cup she was holding in her other hand. "Drinking?"Charlotte, who was embarrassed to the point of wanting to hide, heard this and quietly defended herself, "It wasn't alcohol, it was juice."Delicious juice.His black eyes flickered slightly, and Leandro didn't tell her the truth. "Hmm.""Did you go back?""Uh-huh."I returned.If she didn't leave soon, she would become a gorilla in the zoo.And those two women who appeared out of nowhere to humiliate her had already sneaked away before Leandro came.Charlotte was also too lazy to care, and she still couldn't
