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
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
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
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
The two of them arrived home exactly at five o'clock. Charlotte got out of the car and watched as Leandro opened the back seat door, only then realizing that she had forgotten the things she bought.She instinctively reached out to take it, but Leandro gave her a disdainful look and said, "Are you afraid I'll break it?"She looked embarrassed and said, "No."Leandro laughed and asked, "What did you buy?"This was the second time he asked her this question.Just now in the car, Charlotte couldn't answer the question. Now at home, she simply pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you a little gift."After saying that, she added somewhat embarrassedly, "It's really just a small gift."After all, she couldn't afford the big gift.Leandro raised an eyebrow and said, "This one?"He had two bags in his hands, both of them were about the same size. In addition, there was a necklace that Charlotte liked, it wasn't exp
Charlotte blinked her eyes, knowing that Leandro had misunderstood, but upon hearing his words, a warm feeling enveloped her heart.She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked at the fruit tea in her hand. "Do you still want to drink it?"Just as the green light in front turned red, the car couldn't pass. Leandro slowly stopped the car and said, "Damn it."This time, without him saying a word, Charlotte took the initiative to hand the straw to his lips.As he was drinking, she finally spoke up and explained, "Actually, I wasn't worried that she would lure you away -"The words "hook up" are a bit difficult to mention. Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing, "I have been dealing with Lydia for so many years, so I know her quite well. If it really was her, then she must have come after me.""But it didn't really matter that she was coming towards me, because she couldn't really do anything anyway."In the past years, Lydi
Charlotte had just replied to Elizabeth's message when Leandro's message popped up.Leandro: I arrived.Charlotte caught sight of this message and instinctively looked up.The black Bentley was parked on the side of the road, and Charlotte saw it at a glance.She took her phone, grabbed the bag, and ran over.Today the weather was a bit hot, and when Charlotte ran to the car, sweat broke out on her forehead.Leandro took the shopping bag from her hands, placed it on the back seat, watched her get into the car, and then closed the car door for her before returning to the driver's seat."Why are you in such a hurry? I can't run, you know?"Charlotte had just fastened her seatbelt when she heard his words and felt a bit awkward: "It's easy to get a parking ticket here."Leandro slightly curled his lips and said, "It's fine to give Mrs. Romero a ticket."Charlotte listened to his words and felt as if something gently
Over the weekend, there was some traffic congestion on the Global side, and Elizabeth's taxi was still about two kilometers away.Leandro also said it would take another half an hour to arrive, allowing Charlotte to wander around a bit more.Elizabeth saw Charlotte finish the call and raised an eyebrow, "Lottie, Mr. Romero didn't come so quickly, did he?"Charlotte nodded, "It would take about half an hour to come over.""Should we buy a cup of latte to drink?"Charlotte thought for a moment, "Alright."It is better to not stand here foolishly.The crowd here today was really big, and there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the latte shop.Charlotte ordered a cup of fruit tea milkshake, the receipt came out, and there were seventeen people in front.Fortunately, the staff at the latte shop were quite efficient. After waiting for about ten minutes, there were only seven people left.Elizabeth looke
Charlotte actually didn't have much experience buying gifts for the opposite sex. Greyson's gifts were easy to buy, and he didn't pay much attention to his appearance. Whatever Charlotte bought; he was happy.As for Marcus, she had only sincerely given two gifts. One was a valuable watch with collectible value, and the other was a gift she personally prepared. However, Marcus did not cherish them, and even the gift he gave her on their anniversary was extremely perfunctory, so she just picked one casually.Anyway, he didn't care.But Leandro was different!"Liz, what do you think would be a good gift to give?"Elizabeth sighed, "Lottie, this question really stumps me! What do you think someone like Mr. Romero lacks? Well, it's not really about lacking something, to put it differently, what he likes, you might not be able to afford."Charlotte was taken aback by Elizabeth's words, although they were hurtful, they were also true.Leandr
Hanna's friend became more and more excited as she spoke: "You know, back when we were in school, Leandro was really different towards you. It's a pity that your family immigrated during high school! In all these years, I haven't heard of him having any girlfriend, I've only seen him having a good relationship with you.""You see, he told you about his marriage and even asked when you would return to your home country. Isn't this a clear hint?"Hanna smiled and denied, "You are overthinking. He had a good relationship with Mrs. Romero, didn't they trend a few times?"Hanna's friends disapproved, "Don't you know about this? Leandro has a bad relationship with his stepmother. Now that he's of age, his father wants him to get married. He married Charlotte, and we all think it's related to this! Moreover, Marco doesn't like Charlotte at all. Some people say that the first time Charlotte went to the Romero family with Leandro, she was immediately kicked out!"
Hanna almost turned away with a black face, and her friends around her didn't quite understand what they had just heard.Charlotte constantly badmouthed Hanna, and now it seems that Hanna has been cornered by Charlotte, leaving her speechless and infuriated.Hanna's friend looked at Hanna for a moment, hesitated, and then spoke, "Hanna, when did you have a conflict with Mrs. Romero?"Hanna would naturally not let her friends know about such embarrassing matters.She frowned, "I'm not sure where I offended Ms. Bernard. It might be because I have a good relationship with Lance, so Ms. Bernard misunderstood."Upon hearing Hanna's words, the friend couldn't help but say, "Is this Mrs. Romero being too sensitive?"She said, pausing for a moment, "But it's true, she also doesn't know what means she used to make Leandro marry her! Speaking of which, Hanna, you don't know, recently this Charlotte, in our circle, was really in the limelight!"
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
