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.
Leandro placed the picked-out fish meat onto her dish: "Indeed, it's not very high.""...Thank you."The concept of money for the rich was indeed different from hers!"Did you lack money?""No, it wasn't.""Mm-hmm."Leandro glanced at her, "If you're short of money, let me know, I can--lend it to you!""Thank you."There was absolutely no need!The matter had already been reported, next was to sign a contract with Dangelo.Dangelo's agent had already spoken with Caroline. After Charlotte finished lunch, she received a call from Caroline asking her to go out and sign a contract.Charlotte was somewhat surprised, "That fast?""Dangelo said over there that their company was pushing hard."Charlotte didn't think much either, "Oh, oh, oh, okay!"She had originally planned to take a nap, but now she could only change her clothes and go out to sign the contract.With the temperature out
The elevator doors had just opened when Charlotte couldn't get out, colliding with Caroline who had just come out of the adjacent elevator.She didn't notice, said sorry, and then walked away."Lottie?"Caroline shouted, but found that Charlotte hadn't stopped at all!She had no choice but to jog after her, and after much difficulty, she finally caught up with Charlotte. Caroline quickly reached out and tugged at her, "Why are you walking so fast? Is there a wolf chasing you?"There wasn't a wolf, but Leandro had one!"No, I was afraid of being late."Caroline glanced at the time, "We still have ten minutes, what's the rush?"Charlotte looked embarrassed, "Really? I got the time wrong!"Caroline didn't think much about it, "Why did you suddenly take on this job?""Plenty of money, less work, and close to home!"Caroline paused for a moment, thought about it, and realized that Charlotte made a lot of sense!
After washing her face, she also calmed down. After calming down, she was still quite scared.Will she be fired from the company that her left foot entered first tomorrow?Upon further consideration, if she was fired, then she was fired. She is not just a decorative vase without any abilities. She would still thrive if she switched companies.But the company had good benefits, the colleagues were nice, and the department head was just a bit nagging, but had a good heart...She had a complex mood, feeling a little excited and a little scared.After venting, Elizabeth felt too embarrassed to go back. She glanced at her colleague and said, "I'm going home, please let the minister know for me."This thing was quite messed up tonight. Elizabeth's colleague didn't know what to say: "Alright, just let me know when you get home."Elizabeth nodded her head absentmindedly and left the bathroom in a daze.She didn't notice someone in fron
Charlotte realized about Marco's birthday only after she had taken a shower. Compared to the return of her uncle and aunt, Leandro's father's birthday was more imminent.More than three months had passed, and she recalled the last time she met Marco. Until now, Charlotte still felt embarrassed.She used to be a true warrior, whatever Marco said, she would confront it.However, she had never thought about getting involved with Leandro for real at that time, so she naturally wouldn't prefer to be wronged and still put on a good face for his father and stepmother.Now, she is fine. She went from being Mrs. Romero in the contract to being the real Mrs. Romero.Charlotte glanced towards the bathroom and instinctively grabbed her phone to find Elizabeth: "Liz, Liz! Leandro's father's birthday is next week, what should I do? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent!"Elizabeth also didn't know where she went, and rarely did not reply to her messages i
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, and if Greyson hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Marcus.When the news of Marcus eloping broke out, her uncle and aunt were furious and said they would bring back her eldest cousin to help her deal with the situation.Charlotte didn't want her two cousins to get involved in all this mess, and she almost tried everything to convince her aunt and uncle to let her handle it herself.Back then, they were in Havigsaq, out of reach. She playfully and cutely assured that she could handle it, and they had no choice but to nod and agree.Now that they are coming back, they naturally want to hold the Gallagher family accountable.Just this bad debt, it wasn't so easy to calculate.Charlotte was puzzled: "It shouldn't, right?"Greyson looked at her and said, "Your uncle and aunt doted on you a lot, and you know it."Charlotte thought about her aunt's personality and also kne
Charlotte drove to the hospital after she finished breakfast.The hospital was crowded during the day, and she had a hard time finding a parking space for her car.The ward that Greyson moved into yesterday was still empty, with only him inside.When Charlotte entered, Jaylen brought soup over and upon seeing her, said, "Ms. Bernard."Jaylen hadn't seen Charlotte for a while, and couldn't help but look at her. He saw that she looked good and hadn't lost weight, so he asked her with relief if she wanted to have some soup.Charlotte had just finished breakfast and couldn't drink the soup at that time. "No need, Jaylen."Seeing her coming, both Jaylen and Orion tactfully found excuses to leave the ward, leaving the space for the father and daughter.Charlotte looked at Greyson on the sickbed and thought about her dream from last night, and her chest started to feel tight again.She walked over to the chair next to the hospital bed
Leandro held her with one hand and looked down at her, asking, "Are you tired?"She was almost always standing in the hospital.Charlotte shook her head, "Not tired."Saying that, he yawned.She was a little embarrassed and said, "I was just a little tired."I was indeed tired.Charlotte used to go to bed around 10 o'clock at night, playing on her phone for a while. She would usually fall asleep before 10:30.At this time, it was already one thirty in the morning.Leandro put the car keys into his pocket and then bent down to pick her up.Charlotte was startled for a moment, then quickly hooked her arm around his neck.Leandro held her and quickly went upstairs to the master bedroom.The bedsheet on the bed was messy, revealing the battle before the two people left.Charlotte was put on the bed, her face was a little hot.Leandro took off his watch, lowered his head and kissed her: "Change int
Charlotte just cried, her tears dried up, feeling a bit uncomfortable on her face.Now Greyson woke up and lay on the hospital bed, staring at her.She didn't think she looked good, so she found an excuse to say she needed to go to the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom to wash her face.Cold water splashed onto her face, and this time, she was incredibly grateful.Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte closed her eyes and calmed down. She then opened her eyes again, and the redness in her eyes had already faded a lot.She smiled at herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and saw Leandro, who had come back with oatmeal. He was chatting with Greyson, and she walked over to Leandro's side.Greyson was not feeling well and would wake up for half an hour before falling asleep again.Orion had to stay overnight and was unwilling to go back to the Bernard's villa.
Leandro said and then turned around and left the ward. Inside the ward, there were Orion and Charlotte, along with Greyson who was still unconscious lying on the bed.Charlotte looked at Greyson lying on the hospital bed, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if, after the doors of the emergency room opened, the doctor had told her that he hadn't been saved. She would have been devastated.Her mother passed away when she was too young to remember, and Greyson raised her single-handedly.When she was very young, she had asked Greyson countless times why other children had mothers, but she didn't.Greyson would always tell her that because her mother had gone to heaven early, she would help buy her favorite toys and when she goes there in the future, she can have a house full of beloved toys.She later grew up a bit and then she found out that her mother was no longer in this world.She gradually stopped asking about her mother, bu
Charlotte had actually calmed down a lot, it was just because of fear that her fingers became cold.Leandro's warm palm conveyed strength, making her less overwhelmed.The hospital at night is much quieter than during the day, except for the emergency department, all other departments have already closed.Greyson was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, and Leandro immediately knew that he was being treated in the emergency room.He led Charlotte towards the emergency room, following the nurse's instructions just now.The two of them had not reached the entrance of the emergency room when Charlotte saw the butler Orion.Greyson suddenly fainted, and it was Jaylen at home who first noticed.Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and immediately called an ambulance. Greyson was quickly taken to Cliff Hospital for treatment."Orion.""Ms. Bernard, Mr. Romero."Orion saw Charlotte, which could be considered finding the
The man's kiss initially only stayed on her lips, but slowly he became unsatisfied with just the lips.Charlotte felt hot all over her body, and the itchiness spread from her lips down her neck, finally invading her chest.In the room, almost all there was the sound of her and Leandro's breathing.Leandro kissed her and asked in a low, husky voice, "Mrs. Romero, would you like to do something you love?"The voice was deep and sexy, like a grain of sand falling into her heart, grinding her to the point of unbearable.She was like a fish pulled ashore, lacking water and oxygen. The instinct to survive made her open her mouth to breathe, and her mind was all jumbled up, unable to think at all.The unbearable pain in her body made her unable to help but hum, and this sound directly broke Leandro's last sanity.He had been enduring since the afternoon, and couldn't bear it any longer.The air conditioning in the room was turned up h
