Daisy really made Leandro record it. After finishing, she excitedly took out the invitation and placed it on the table, saying, "Mrs. Romero, I really have no ill intentions towards you! Really!"
Charlotte wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she felt that Daisy's gaze at that moment was a little off.
Would it really not be like Elizabeth said?
Was Daisy's crush actually her?
While I was daydreaming, Daisy had already turned around and left.
Charlotte watched her back and wanted to say that she actually didn't want to go, but the other person had already walked out of the hallway and the figure was no longer visible.
Daisy ran out of the villa, and before leaving the gate, she thoughtfully helped to close the door.
Although it was broad daylight, the front door was wide open, which made it somewhat unsafe.
It wouldn't be good if a stranger broke in and scared Charlotte!
Distracted by Daisy's interruption, Charlotte had
Leandro ultimately did not throw away the invitation card. He did not stop Charlotte from attending Daisy's birthday party, but the condition was that he would accompany her that evening.Charlotte had no objections to this, after all, Daisy's attitude towards her did make her a little worried.Well, there's nothing I can do about it. That's just how it is when you're so good-looking.And Daisy?Worried that Charlotte might not show up that day, I specifically arranged for a courier in the morning to remind Charlotte to remember to attend her birthday party in the evening.Charlotte opened the door early in the morning and listened to the runner's words, "..."It's outrageous!Charlotte had just closed the door when she saw the man, who was already dressed and ready to go to work, walking out with a briefcase."Who?"Upon hearing his voice, Charlotte averted her gaze from those long legs and said, "He's a runner."
Melvin followed closely behind Leandro, not daring to make a sound, afraid of being affected.Leandro suddenly stopped and called out Melvin's name.Melvin was stunned, holding the documents and approaching, "Mr. Romero?""Daisy, it's your birthday tonight. Prepare a gift and place it on my desk two hours later."Melvin was prepared to be scolded, but he was surprised when Leandro spoke and asked him to prepare Daisy's birthday gift.For a moment, he was a bit slow to react and asked a foolish question, "Mr. Romero, should we let the lady know about this matter?"I regretted asking Melvin.Don't even mention that Leandro would never do such morally corrupt things. Even if Leandro really did it, as his secretary, I should turn a blind eye to it!Leandro heard his words and stared straight at him with his dark eyes, saying, "What do you think, Melvin?"Melvin was completely dumbfounded. How was he supposed to answer such a
Leandro seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. "This is... fake eyelashes?"He furrowed his brow, as if his cognition had been shaken.Charlotte awkwardly pinched off the fake eyelashes and said, "No, it's dirty stuff! Mr. Romero, I'm going in to change clothes! Wait for me for five minutes, oh no, ten minutes!"Charlotte finished speaking in one breath and then turned around to close the door.She lowered her head and looked at the false eyelashes pinched between her fingertips, her face becoming even redder.She didn't want to wear false eyelashes anymore in the future!After such an embarrassing incident, Charlotte didn't have the mood to bother herself anymore.Anyway, it wasn't a big party, so she just needed to put on some makeup.After finishing her makeup, she changed into the small dress she had already picked out, and then chose a pair of pearl earrings to wear. Finally, she checked her appearance one mor
Leandro pulled Charlotte closer to him, avoiding Daisy's embrace.Charlotte didn't expect Daisy to be so enthusiastic. She wanted to hug people as soon as they met.Are the daughters of wealthy families so enthusiastic now?Obviously, it was not.Well, Ms. Clements was quite disgusted with Leandro next to her.Charlotte, however, was not very happy. She had previously mentioned that something was not right with Daisy, but it was just talk. Now, she actually had some doubts about whether Daisy had ulterior motives towards her.Leandro had a cold face and said, "I came with my wife."Charlotte heard what he said and quickly handed over the gift in her hand, easing the slightly awkward atmosphere at the moment. "Ms. Clements, happy birthday. I don't know what you like, so this is just a random gift I prepared."You see, I was so casual, so you can be a little casual too, Ms. Clements.However, things didn't go as planned. W
Leandro's dark eyes sank for a moment when he heard "Lottie". "Are you saying that even if she really liked you, you wouldn't mind?""Respect others' sexual orientations."Anyway, she didn't engage in same-sex relationships."What about me?"Leandro burst into laughter, looking at the woman in front of him who had just contradicted herself, and said, "What am I?"Charlotte blinked her eyes and instinctively replied, "my honey!"Wasn't this thing well-known?"Oh, so Ms. Bernard also knew that I was your honey.""?"Was it her illusion?Why did she feel that Leandro's words had a slightly resentful tone?Charlotte thought about how she had walked in just now, seemingly only focused on chatting with Daisy, and not paying much attention to Leandro beside her.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt guilty and quickly moved to Leandro's side, tiptoeing slightly and whispered in his ear with a voice that only
Charlotte was led by Leandro to the dining area, receiving many glances along the way.There were those who were envious, those who were amazed, those who were puzzled, those who were jealous, and those who were disdainful.Charlotte straightened her back, tightly grasped the man's hand, and passed by them without looking away.Even if it was fake, Mrs. Romero, anyway, no one would know!Leandro noticed her subtle movements, his thin lips slightly curved, holding onto her even tighter.Silly rabbit.The buffet at Daisy's birthday party was quite abundant. There were both traditional and foreign cuisines. Charlotte was initially worried about going home hungry, but she didn't expect to be repeatedly fed by Leandro. She was starting to worry if her stomach would be suspected by others."Are you full?"The man didn't know where to find the food, but it looked delicious.But I couldn't eat anymore, Charlotte forced herself t
Charlotte was really starting to panic this time. "Ms. Clements, I suddenly need to use the restroom..."She spoke while quickly stepping out of the room.Daisy was confused. "Lottie! The bathroom is not over there!"However, as soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte had already run downstairs.Daisy stood there, feeling a bit confused.She was just fine a moment ago, but why did she say something and then run away?Does Charlotte hate her?Thinking of this, Daisy's mood immediately turned sour.Daisy's "yes" immediately pulled Charlotte out of the sugar-coated bullet.She has grown up like this, and actually has been confessed to by many people, but being confessed to by a girl, this is the first time she has encountered it!She had no objections to Daisy's sexual orientation, but as the person being liked, she felt a bit unsure.Charlotte ran while looking for Leandro, and now she deeply regretted leavi
Charlotte handed the phone back to the beautiful young lady, her face still flushed. "Thank you, beautiful sister.""My name was Carlee Hooper.""Okay, beautiful Carlee."Carlee looked at Charlotte and suddenly smiled, "Ms. Bernard is really adorable."Charlotte was taken aback. She was about to speak when Carlee was called away by a friend."Excuse me, Ms. Bernard, we'll talk next time.""It's okay, we'll talk next time."After Carlee left, Charlotte stood alone, feeling a bit bored, but Leandro told her to stay in place and not move.She also didn't dare to move, what if they went to different places and happened to miss each other? Wouldn't that be very awkward?Just then, a waiter came over with a tray of colorful drinks. She casually took a cup and took a sip.It was sour and sweet, quite tasty, with a hint of lemon and a hint of fruit fragrance.Charlotte took another sip, feeling a bit tipsy, and cou
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
