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
As soon as Elizabeth said this, Hanna's legs went weak for a moment.Her friend next to her reached out and gave her a hand, saying, "Hanna?"She waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing, and turned to look at Charlotte. "No need to thank me. I have known Lance for so many years, and I am also glad that he has found someone he likes so much. I wish you both happiness!"Hanna was still trying to salvage the situation, and Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly. "Ms. Norton, if you are truly happy and truly wish us well, I hope that next time you won't mention Leandro's name.""I remember the last time we played golf; Leandro made it clear that his name, except for his grandfather, would not be called by anyone else, and he also didn't like being called by others. Look at me, his wife, I also just call him Leandro, right?""Also, as his wife, I didn't really want to hear other women calling my husband by his name. After all, it's such an intimate
Obviously, Hanna also saw Charlotte and Elizabeth.Hanna has had a hard time accepting that Charlotte was Charlene's thing until now.She certainly couldn't accept it, after all, she had said so many things in front of Charlotte before.Making her admit that Charlotte is Charlene, isn't that just asking for a slap in the face?Of course, it is a fact that Charlotte was Charlene, and even if Hanna pretended to be deaf and dumb, she couldn't resist.After all these days, she could hear someone asking her every now and then, "Is Leandro's wife really Charlene?"She returned to her home country this time quite ostentatiously. Just after her return, people in her circle were inquiring about how well she had been doing abroad and why she suddenly came back.Back then, Hanna was determined to win over Leandro, although she didn't explicitly say it, she did mention phrases like "for the person I like" and "for love."Her family immigra
The restaurant's environment was good, and it was evident that the decoration was done with care.The two of them sat for about ten minutes, and more and more people started coming into the store.Elizabeth and Charlotte had already decided what they wanted to eat. Taking advantage of the fact that the restaurant had just opened, they quickly placed their orders.They ordered their food early and the dishes were served quite quickly.The restaurant had a nice ambiance, but the dishes were average. Charlotte even felt that the ingredients were not very fresh.But there were too many people coming to check in, and she didn't have any substantial evidence to prove that the ingredients were problematic. She just felt that they were a little different from the fresh seafood she had eaten before, so the two of them let it go.Coming out of the restaurant, Charlotte glanced at Elizabeth and said, "This trendy shop wasn't very reliable."Eliz
Just as she withdrew her hand, she reached out again. She propped herself up slightly, cupping his face with both hands, and lowered her head to give his thin lips a gentle suck. Then she quickly let go, wrapped herself in the blanket, and turned her back to Leandro, saying, "Sleep, sleep!"That was exciting!What to do if you are a little addicted?Leandro didn't expect her to have such a "surprise attack", and by the time he realized it, Charlotte had already laid back in bed.The time was already late, and he didn't want to bother her anymore.And, if it happened again, he felt that even a cold shower might not work.In the darkness, Leandro raised his hand and touched his lips.There was still a hint of Charlotte's softness on top, and he also turned sideways, reaching out to hook her slender waist and pulling her into his arms."Goodnight, Mrs. Romero."Good night.This sleep, Charlotte slept a bit "exciting"
The two of them kissed and fell onto the bed, the cold bedsheet briefly bringing Charlotte back to her senses.The soft bed made her feel a sense of uneasiness, and her whole body trembled, like a bullied cat, whimpering and calling out to him, "Leandro--""Good."A low, hoarse male voice sounded in her ear, and Charlotte felt as if her heart had been rubbed against something.The itchiness spread throughout the body in an instant.Her face turned as red as if it were bleeding, and her hands unconsciously tightened.It was not known how long it had passed until Leandro finally withdrew his hand. His large hand gently pulled on her nightgown, tidying up the slightly disheveled clothes.His big hand gently caressed her face, as if to comfort her. His thumb wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, and finally, he kissed her forehead before letting go.Charlotte's thoughts gradually returned, she lifted her head and immedia
Charlotte and Elizabeth had planned to go to that popular restaurant on Saturday to take photos, but it wasn't until Friday night that Charlotte remembered she hadn't told Leandro about it!Charlotte quickly sat up from the bed!At that moment, Leandro had just come out of the bathroom.She looked at Leandro, who had just finished taking a shower, and her gaze fell on the water droplets on his hair tips, lost in thought for a moment.Ah, this man, why does he always look so good no matter when?"Do you want to go out and play tomorrow?"A deep male voice sounded in front of her, and Charlotte finally came back to her senses.She averted her gaze guiltily, looking down at the bedsheet in front of her, and awkwardly raised her head, saying, "I forgot to tell you, I made plans with Elizabeth to go shopping together tomorrow."Leandro threw the towel, which had just been used to dry his wet hair, into the laundry basket on the side
It was night.Just after taking a shower, Dangelo, with a slight raise of his eyebrows, walked over to the vibrating phone on the table. He casually picked it up and glanced at it.Seeing the incoming call display, he answered and immediately put it on speakerphone on the table, saying, "What's the matter?"There is no doubt that this call was made by Jayden.Jayden on the phone was furious: "What's wrong with you? Why did you tell 'Secret Travel' that you would only participate if they also include Charlotte as a guest on the show?""Dangelo, are you out of your mind? She got married! She is now Mrs. Romero and has a great relationship with the Chairman of the Splendid Group! Didn't you see yesterday's Twitter trending?""You have been living a clean and focused life, dedicated to music all these years. How come at this age, you are acting like an impulsive youngster, doing things without thinking?"Almost every word Jayden said was
After finishing dinner, the sky had just turned dark.Leandro had an urgent document to read, so he went to the study after dinner. Charlotte realized that she hadn't played the piano in a long time, so she went to the music room, planning to practice for two hours before taking a break.Charlotte tactfully didn't bring up Marco's birthday anymore.Charlotte finished practicing the piano and found Leandro still in the study. She went downstairs, cut a plate of fruit, and brought it to his desk. Then, she quietly closed the door and left the study, returning to her room.At that time, it was still early, and Charlotte took a shower and played with her phone in bed.Karissa sent her a Line message: "Charlene, are you interested in making some extra money?"Karissa asked this question with a lot of uneasiness. Ever since she found out that Charlotte's husband was Leandro, she felt that her previous thoughts were too shallow and childish.
Charlotte shook her head, getting rid of unhealthy thoughts from her mind, and then poured a glass of water. She walked to the sofa and waited for Leandro to finish his phone call, asking him what they would have for dinner that night.As soon as she sat down, she heard Leandro say, "Since you don't welcome my wife, we won't go back and bother you."The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say. Leandro remained silent, with the sunset casting its rays on his face. His superior jawline added a touch of sharpness and coldness to his appearance.Charlotte pursed her lips and felt that the person on the other end of the phone should be Marco."Whatever you say."After saying these words, Leandro hung up the call.He seemed not to have noticed Charlotte on the sofa, standing in front of the French window, looking ahead after hanging up the phone.Charlotte was leaning on the armrest of the sofa, watching him. As the sun set, Leandro's figure became increasingly desolate
