Leandro glanced at the already sleeping Charlotte beside him and suddenly felt sorry. He picked up his phone and sent a message in the Aelmere Handsome 4 group chat: "I won't have afternoon tea anymore, my wife is tired, you guys can drink it yourselves."
As soon as Leandro sent out this message, it sparked anger among the group.
Aidan: "What play are you acting in, Leandro? Ten minutes ago, you asked me to give you a call later, I made the call, and it was you who suggested having afternoon tea. And now you're standing me up? @Leandro"
Michael: "I had already driven the car out of the house when you told me this? @Leandro"
Nathan: "Leandro has never had afternoon tea before. Having afternoon tea means not making plans."
Aidan: "..."
Michael: "..."
Six minutes later.
Leandro: "I really wanted to have afternoon tea, but my wife was tired."
Nathan: "... I knew that you had a wife!"
Aidan: "... I found out that
Charlotte carried the person back to her room, and when she was put down, she suddenly noticed the wireless earphones on Leandro's ears.She suddenly thought of something and froze. "Mr. Romero, what were you doing just now?"Don't tell her that she was in a meeting!Leandro glanced at her and said, "What's the matter? We were in a meeting.""..."Why did this kind of plot, which only appears in cheesy romance novels, happen to her?Leandro looked at the person and deliberately asked again, "What's wrong?"Charlotte blushed and waved her hand, "It's nothing, you can continue with the meeting, I won't disturb you anymore!"It's nothing, just a matter of losing face!Is it?What's the matter with this?She had also been embarrassed like this before.Leandro looked at her dejected look and rarely chuckled, "Don't worry, they couldn't see.""But they could hear it!""They dared not speak re
Charlotte: "..."Elizabeth: "Outrageous!"This plague cannot be avoided no matter how one tries to hide from it!When Lauren saw Charlotte and Elizabeth, her face turned sour.The Gallagher family was often criticized because of Charlotte.A couple of months ago, Charlotte stayed indoors and didn't go out. Lauren was frustrated but couldn't express her anger. Today, they bumped into each other, and she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity: "What bad luck! Today was going well, and I run into you, the jinx!"Charlotte rolled her eyes and since she had encountered it, she couldn't be bothered to avoid it.She treated Lauren as if she were transparent, and both Elizabeth and she walked straight past Lauren.Lauren was completely ignored and became so angry that she stomped her foot and said, "Stop! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"She stepped in front of Charlotte and Elizabeth, wearing high heels.Charlotte de
"Did not...""Why are you so angry?"Charlotte calmed down completely, sighed, and said softly, "Actually, it was me who forced him to marry me back then!""!"Elizabeth was shocked: "You didn't say that at first, did you?"Back in the day, when Charlotte mentioned to her that they should get married and work together, Leandro agreed without hesitation.So she always knew that Charlotte's marriage to Leandro was not real, and occasionally she would make jokes, but she always knew where to draw the line.But now it seems that it was not quite the case...Charlotte was embarrassed and said, "Back then, I wasn't solely focused on getting away from the Gallagher family. I was afraid you would think poorly of me, so I told a little lie!""You've made progress, Lottie."Is this a little lie?Charlotte waved her hand and said, "Just average, third in the world."Elizabeth: "..."She realized that Cha
Charlotte had no idea that Leandro had already seen her "heroic act". She slept all the way in a daze. When the car arrived at the villa gate, the driver called her twice before she opened her eyes. She took out 10 dollars from her wallet and said, "No need to look for change, sir!"After paying the fare, Charlotte rubbed her eyes while searching for her keys inside her bag.She searched for a long time, almost emptying everything inside her bag, but still couldn't find it.Forget it.Joyce should have been cooking now.She raised her hand and pressed the doorbell, but to her surprise, the person who opened the door was not Joyce, but Leandro, who had just finished swimming and was wrapped in a towel.Charlotte was a little sleepy, but this suddenly woke her up completely!"Why were you at home?"Weren't you at the company?"Just came back.""Oh, oh, oh, just came back and went swimming."So disciplined!
Charlotte knew that Leandro had a good figure, but she didn't know it was this good!She watched as the man walked towards her step by step, and inexplicably swallowed.Realizing what she had done, Charlotte's ears turned red in an instant, and that redness quickly spread from her earlobes to her cheeks.Soon, Leandro approached her and Charlotte instinctively took a step back."Looking for me?"Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes slightly flickering.Charlotte looked at the close-up abs and suddenly felt thirsty again. She quickly brought the cup of water in her hand to her mouth and took a big sip before speaking, "I'll just go for a walk.""Oh."Leandro didn't say anything else and turned around, jumping into the pool.The splashing water splashed onto her skirt and some splashed onto the back of her feet.Cool and refreshing, completely different from the scorching heat above my head.Her gaze subconsc
Leandro's gaze paused on her face and then swam to the shore.He said he didn't look, and he really didn't look.After getting out of the water, the person went straight to the shower, leaving Charlotte alone in the pool.Without Leandro, Charlotte wasn't as awkward anymore. She quickly paddled and swam to the shore.The dress on the body got wet, and the whole dress became heavy and sticky.Charlotte stood by the pool, looking down at the water continuously flowing down her body. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should go into the villa or head to the shower room.However, soon Leandro came out with a towel.He wrapped a towel around her. "Go back quickly, don't catch a cold. I'll pick up the cup for you.""Not..."Forget it, no matter how much I explain, it can't hide her embarrassment.Charlotte glanced at him awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero."I don't know why, but every time somethin
Leandro didn't speak anymore, and Charlotte also got hungry, bowing her head and earnestly nibbling on the chicken wings.Charlotte liked to eat in small bites. She ate slowly, compared to men who ate quickly and politely. By the time the other person finished eating, she had only eaten half of her meal.It's not a big deal actually, everyone has their own eating speed.After Leandro finished eating, he did not leave the table and sat there watching her.Charlotte would never be so conceited as to think that Leandro was looking at her because she looked good. Perhaps Leandro didn't leave his seat out of courtesy and was waiting for her.In consideration of both parties, she instinctively hastened her eating speed.After finishing the last bite of food, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leandro across from her, saying, "I am full, Mr. Romero.""Um."Leandro nodded and raised his hand, placing the phone in
Forget it.Leandro probably doesn't remember what happened that night. Mr. Romero, being a busy person, considered that little incident of that evening as insignificant in his prosperous life.This photo was indeed beautiful, and it also matched Leandro's style quite well.If the protagonist in the photo was her, Charlotte thought it would be even better.Charlotte thought and thought, and decided not to break the ice, so as to avoid any awkwardness between them.In case she simply thought the photo looked nice and used it as a screensaver, her rush to claim it would seem too "calculating".Forget it.Charlotte realized that she had acted impulsively and quickly tried to make up for it, "Actually, if you look closely, this photo has a lot of artistic appeal. It would indeed make a great screensaver."She looked at herself in the photo, her face burning hot. In order to not give herself away, she had to pretend to be calm and sa
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
