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
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
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 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
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.
He finished speaking and lowered his head to kiss her lips again.Charlotte subconsciously clutched the shirt beside him, tilting her head to endure Leandro's lingering desire.Charlotte was kissed early in the morning and felt dizzy.When she walked downstairs, her face was still flushed.The door of the entrance opened, and the morning breeze blew in, giving her a sense of wakefulness.Leandro had already changed his shoes, he reached out and hugged her, soothingly kissed her forehead, "I will take you out to play tonight.""What are you playing?"Leandro looked at her and teased, "You'll find out tonight."Charlotte blinked her eyes and she realized that Leandro had also turned bad: "Well."He let go of his hand and said, "Let's go have breakfast.""Uh-huh."Charlotte nodded and watched as he walked towards the corner, then she closed the front door and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.Jo
Charlotte slept deeply, probably because she had drunk some beer.When I woke up the next day, Leandro was no longer in bed.The French window was opened one-third, and the morning breeze blew in. The curtains were blown up, and the sunlight followed through. The light inside the room was sometimes dim and sometimes bright.Charlotte squinted her eyes slightly, still not fully awake as she had just woken up.After sitting for a while, she finally became completely sober, and the events of last night naturally played back vividly in her mind.Charlotte!What on earth were the words of a tiger and a wolf that you said last night?You should not drink alcohol anymore in the future!Although I was sober last night, I was still influenced by alcohol. I knew what I was doing, but I was always a step behind, unlike now, where I am completely awake.Ah, ah, ah!After realizing what a jerk she had been last night, Charlott
When thin lips fell, Charlotte instinctively closed her eyes, and her hooked hand tightened involuntarily.After drinking alcohol, Charlotte's nerves became excited, and her hands, which she usually kept clenched, couldn't help but move a little.Through the silky pajamas, her palm could feel the warmth of Leandro's back.It was really hot.Why was he like a furnace?Charlotte couldn't help but move a little and suddenly let go of her Leandro, saying, "Lottie."Charlotte, who had not yet recovered, looked at him with a bewildered expression and asked, "What happened?"The just-kissed red lips glistened with moisture, damp under the lights, like cherries freshly touched by morning dew, tempting one to take a bite.What's most fatal is that those lychee-like eyes were filled with a watery gleam, looking at him so lost and helpless. Compared to the intentional seduction, this was even more deadly.Leandro knew that she was
Although knowing that Charlotte would probably say this tonight, she would forget it by tomorrow morning.But that soft spoken "I love you" easily shattered his proud composure.He glanced sideways at Charlotte, who was leaning on his shoulder, and his dark eyes under the shadow surged with restrained desire.With a snap, the lights in the entire living room suddenly turned on.Charlotte stood up and said, "The light turned on, the wish came true."Leandro chuckled and said, "What did Mrs. Romero wish for?"He turned off the night light at the entrance and carried her upstairs.Charlotte's face was already red, and upon hearing his question, it became even more flushed with embarrassment.She was just talking nonsense earlier, like making wishes before turning on the lights, even fairy tales wouldn't dare to write such things to deceive children.So just now, she was too busy admiring Leandro's serious and charming appea
When it was already past 10 o'clock at night, each of the four people had separated. Aidan had been drinking and couldn't drive, so he called for a designated driver.Elizabeth was originally going to take a taxi back, but Aidan felt that it was not safe for her, as she is a girl, so he decided to let her ride in his car instead.Charlotte drank a can of beer and was slightly tipsy before it ended. At this moment, the alcohol slowly started to take effect, and she felt like she was drunk.After fastening her seatbelt, she turned her head to the side and looked at Leandro, who had just gotten into the driver's seat. She furrowed her brows slightly and said with some distress, "Leandro, I think I'm drunk."Leandro was amused by her words, "Drunk people don't say that they are drunk."She nodded and responded seriously, "I am not drunk yet, but I feel like I am going to get drunk."She felt a little excited, looking at Leandro, wanting to hug h
Elizabeth glanced at Aidan, and the two of them didn't know how they ended up forming the Singlehood Alliance. "I'm scared, Mr. Romero."Charlotte was a bit embarrassed and changed the subject, "Are there crayfish here? I want to eat crayfish."Aidan heard this and clicked his tongue, "Yeah, this crayfish is pretty delicious. How much does Charlotte want to eat?"Charlotte felt that Aidan had something hidden in his words, and she instinctively looked at Leandro, saying, "Do you want to give it a try?"Leandro hadn't even spoken yet when Aidan interrupted, saying, "He hasn't tried it yet, so of course he has to taste it. The four of us, let's get four pounds, not too much, I can show off with two pounds alone."After speaking, Aidan glanced at Elizabeth and said, "Elizabeth, how much can you show off?"Elizabeth was originally a little embarrassed, after all, Leandro was there. But Aidan was even more shameless than her, so she let go: "I ca
Charlotte took out all the clothes from the suitcase and neatly arranged them. She also packed the two bags that Elizabeth had asked her to buy.Aidan quickly messaged Leandro, who then passed the address to Charlotte. After changing their clothes, the two of them went out.It was quite a coincidence that Aidan had originally made plans with Michael, but Michael suddenly changed his mind and didn't come.He didn't want to join Charlotte and Leandro to eat dog food, but when he heard that Charlotte's friends were also going, he reluctantly went out.Elizabeth did her makeup and changed her clothes before going downstairs to take a taxi. She arrived earlier than Charlotte.Inside the compartment, there was only Aidan. Elizabeth thought she had entered the wrong compartment, so she stepped out and took another look, but she realized she hadn't made a mistake and reluctantly went in: "Hello, are you Mr. Duncan?"Aidan had seen Elizabeth a few ti
Charlotte was dizzy with his words and kisses, with only his words of love and his kisses in her mind.The ringing of the phone brought the two back to reality. Charlotte pulled at her collar and blushed as she came out from his embrace, saying, "I need to go to the restroom."After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran into the bathroom, closing the door.In the mirror, her face was all red, just like a freshly cooked shrimp.Charlotte got a little wet and patted her face.The cool water splashed on the cheeks, gradually reducing the heat on the face, and the mind slowly regained its composure.If they didn't have that phone just now, they...Thinking about what might happen next, the blush that had just faded from Charlotte's face rose again.She stopped herself from continuing to think, sat on the toilet, and forcibly shifted her thoughts.When Charlotte came out of the bathroom, Leandro had already finished
It took Charlotte a few seconds to realize what he meant. Her face flushed, and she moved away from his embrace, changing the subject: "I haven't packed my luggage yet. I'll go upstairs and tidy up the suitcase!"Bring the gift out while you're at it!Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the tie clip on his tie.Leandro noticed her gaze and also looked down at his own tie.His gaze fell on the collar clip, he smirked, and let go of it, saying, "Go."He said and took her cup from her hand.Charlotte glanced at him and then turned around, running up the stairs.Her suitcase was filled with a lot of things, including the two bags she bought for Elizabeth.Charlotte took out everything and arranged them nicely when she just got the gift specially bought for Leandro. However, as soon as she got it, he walked in from outside.She instinctively looked up and glanced at him, offering the gift box to him as if presen
