"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The doctor began to ask questions.
Charlotte instinctively looked at Leandro. "She had a few drinks, so someone might have spiked her drink."
The doctor furrowed his brow and asked, "What symptoms do you have?"
"Let your wife speak."
This time, Leandro didn't speak, so the doctor spoke first.
The culprit Charlotte quickly spoke up, "It's a bit hot, always feeling thirsty and unable to sleep."
"What else?"
The doctor listened to the heartbeat and breathing while asking.
Some things were difficult for Charlotte to speak about. Under the doctor's gaze, she clenched her hands and trembled as she spoke in a quivering voice, "There's this strange feeling in my body, I don't know how to describe it, it's just not quite normal..."
You understand, right, doctor?
"There shouldn't be any major issues. Go get an electrocardiogram, measure your blood pressure, and have a
Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Was it really that painful?""..."Is this a difficult question to answer?Charlotte turned her head to the other side, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead.The man just sat closer, and the refreshing scent of wood on his body occasionally wafted over, always enticing her to lean towards him.Charlotte was struggling between reason and morality, and finally welcomed the dawn of victory. Her blood test report finally came out!All indicators in the report were normal.Charlotte quickly stood up from her chair and said, "Mr. Romero, let's go home!"Go home, worst case scenario, she can count ten thousand sheep to fall asleep."Better go see a doctor."Charlotte remembered the doctor's ghostly gaze and had no courage to go back and see him."Go back, go back!"She couldn't care about being reserved at the moment, and instinctively she grabbed Leandro's arm and
Charlotte woke up the next day close to eleven o'clock, got up and realized she was still wearing a dress. The events of last night slowly came back to her mind.She was sober and rational when the incident happened, but she couldn't help but hug and kiss Leandro.Obviously, alcohol gave him courage.After realizing that she had done something absurd again, Charlotte felt extremely embarrassed but did not feel the slightest bit of regret.She was indeed influenced by Elizabeth!She raised her hand and rubbed her face, and her stomach made a grumbling sound, expressing its emptiness.Charlotte quickly got out of bed and, while changing her clothes, she realized that the zipper of her skirt was open!Did she not zip up when she went to the party last night?It's impossible. She checked it carefully before going out, and the zipper was closed properly. Now, after waking up from a nap, the zipper is open!Last night, there w
Charlotte worked diligently in the piano room all afternoon. After finishing the last piece, her fingers were sore.Holding her phone, she didn't really want to open it.But there were just too many unread messages, so she had to put her phone on the table and, while rubbing her fingers, open the message box.Caroline: "How is your leg recovering? Are you able to work again? The Sounnes Concert abroad has invited you to play the opening piece."Elizabeth: "How was it? Did Ms. Clements look for you today?"Believe it or not, Daisy is right below Elizabeth.Daisy: "Lottie, are you angry? I'm sorry, but can you please make it clear to me? Like, how did I make you dislike me?" She sent a sad cat emoji.Daisy sent this message at around three in the morning. Charlotte originally didn't want to reply, but when she saw her pitiful expression, her damn soft heart gave in!Charlotte pondered for a moment and sent a tactful reply: "I was
Leandro said he wouldn't smile if he didn't want to, the smile at the corner of his thin lips disappeared, his black eyes fixed on her, his whole demeanor serious and earnest, making Charlotte feel like she was sitting at a negotiation table.Under the gaze of her black eyes, it took only five seconds for her to surrender. She raised her hand and placed the phone on the table in front of him.Seeing Leandro reaching out to take the phone, Charlotte quickly raised her hand and held onto it, saying, "Mr. Romero, promise me you won't laugh after I finish watching."As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand.Charlotte was startled for a moment, and then her gaze dropped down to see the man's hand resting on top of hers.Her ears turned red, and she instinctively withdrew her hand.Leandro glanced at her and said, "I wouldn't smile."She was already feeling embarrassed, and when he said that, Charlotte fel
The car had just pulled out of the parking lot when there was a loud bang in the sky, and pea-sized raindrops started falling pitter-patter.Charlotte stood by the window, holding a cup, and looked at the distant dark and silent scene. She couldn't help but click her tongue.It seems that the rain will probably last for half a day today.She stood and watched the rain for a while, drank the water in her cup, went to the water dispenser at kitchen island to get another cup of water, and planned to go upstairs to continue practicing the piano.At that moment, a sound came from the entrance hall.Charlotte was startled and looked up to see a man walking in expressionlessly.She instinctively called out, "Mr. Romero."Leandro glanced at her and then crossed the kitchen island, heading towards the basement level.Charlotte blinked her eyes and felt that Leandro was a bit strange today.At this moment, Joyce came out of the ki
The wine was not tasty, and the sugar was sweet.Leandro lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, he directed his hand towards the bottle opener in his hand and put the unopened bottle of wine back.Last night, he walked back to his previous position, sat down again, and reached out to take a candy from her palm.He unwrapped the candy and raised his hand to throw it into his mouth.The moment the soft candy was touched, a slight sour taste instantly spread on the taste buds, followed by a mouthful of mango flavor.He bit open the soft candy, and the sweetness immediately covered the sour taste from earlier.It was sweet.She was right.However, he was a bit greedy for more.Leandro turned his head and looked at Charlotte, who had been looking at him all along, and said, "Not sweet enough, a little sour.""Ah?"Charlotte was immediately embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the mango candy is a bit s
The sudden eye contact caught Charlotte off guard, leaving her completely bewildered.No, didn't you fall asleep?How can these eyes open as soon as they open?Her mind went blank for a moment, and her ears and face reacted quickly, already turning completely red.Charlotte felt her face burning hot. She looked at Leandro for a while before stammering, "You, you were asleep, weren't you?""No."Couldn't sleep?Didn't Leandro know what she had just done?This realization made Charlotte want to escape, but she couldn't escape!The man's hand was still gripping her wrist, and she tried to struggle, but he held on even tighter.The next second, Charlotte heard the other person ask in a deep voice, "What were you doing just now, Ms. Bernard?"Faced with the questioning of the parties involved, Charlotte's mind went blank. She looked at him in extreme embarrassment and said, "I, I think I was drunk, Mr. Romero."
Just as she was at a loss, Charlotte suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I've got it!""Is that so?"I don't know why, but Charlotte felt that every time Leandro said "Is that so?", he didn't believe her.As soon as she heard this sentence, she felt a bit embarrassed and guilty reflexively, "Really, really!""Oh."He responded with a sound, released the hand that had fallen on her back, but the left hand on her back remained unretracted.Charlotte could feel him gently touching her cervical vertebrae, each touch was light, as if he had touched her, yet as if he hadn't."You got drunk twice before, and both times you really enjoyed it when I touched you.""I, I don't remember.""Shall I help you remember?"Charlotte was dumbfounded when she heard what he said.She had no idea how to respond to this statement!How else can this be taken?"Just kidding."Just as she was at a loss, the ma
Charlotte couldn't contain the curve of her lips on her way back, as she had just obtained a necklace worth over three million.On the way home, she was constantly immersed in the joy of Leandro not giving Hanna face, and she forgot that she had blushed before leaving because of the question of "whether to go out or not."When Charlotte returned to the villa and was taking off her earrings, she suddenly remembered this question.My heart started beating faster inexplicably.Charlotte put away the removed earring and glanced at her own cheek in the mirror.Blushed.Ah, Charlotte, you became bad!What are you thinking about all day long now?She raised her hand and patted her own face. Just as she turned around, she saw Leandro coming in.Charlotte felt very guilty, watching him approach with water in his hands, her heart beating faster and faster with each passing moment.Seeing him hand over the water cup, she reached out and took it, lowering her head to drink the water, while shifti
"It's not necessary to work so hard. If Mrs. Romero is willing to use my supplementary card, I think I would be very happy."Charlotte also remembered the card he gave her and felt a bit embarrassed, "It's different."What's different is that we were a legally married couple, and half of the money I earned belonged to you.Charlotte couldn't dare to imagine that half of his money belonged to her, Leandro's wealth, which she could never achieve in her entire life of struggle.Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of him.After all, she wanted to maintain her pride and couldn't ignore Leandro's feelings.Charlotte glanced at him and said, "The money to buy you a gift should at least be earned by me, right?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro felt as if his heart was enveloped in warm water.Soft and swollen.Hmm, Mrs. Romero is quite good at coaxing people.The two of them walked to the car. Leandro opened the passenger door and held his hand on the roof to protect it. After Charlotte
Charlotte pursed her lips and looked hesitant, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Norton, but this is the first gift Leandro ever brought me to the auction house. It holds a special meaning for me, so I can't let it go.""Moreover, this necklace was not the best, and I believe Mrs. Norton deserves something better. Ms. Norton, you might consider communicating with the auctioneer of 'the Bridge of Love,' I believe that necklace would be more to your mother's liking."Charlotte immediately handed back the words she had just said to Hanna. Unable to refute, Hanna's face turned slightly sour and she said, "I was being unreasonable."Leandro replied in a low voice, "Since you knew it would be difficult for a strong person, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place."This statement directly pierced Hanna's heart, causing her already unattractive face to turn pale.Hanna bit her teeth, glanced at Leandro, and then looked at Charlotte. "I'm sorry, I did indeed overstep."She said it and turned
Leandro had just swiped his card when Charlotte immediately grabbed his arm.A soft and gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and her breath blew straight onto his face, causing a tingling sensation and making his chest slightly itchy.His black eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his head and looked at Charlotte in front of him. He raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist.Hanna walked up to the two of them, her gaze falling on Leandro's hand, but quickly withdrew it: "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero."After Elizabeth exposed her use of the names "Ms. Bernard" and Lance for Leandro and Charlotte last time, this time, Hanna didn't dare to call them "Ms. Bernard" and Lance anymore."Ms. Norton."Charlotte politely responded.Leandro glanced at Hanna lightly and asked, "What's up?"Hanna, this person, used to come over for no reason.Leandro's patience had long run out when she was talking nonsense to Charlotte back then.Hanna was still being treated by Leandro in this way for the f
It is impossible for a woman to not be interested in jewelry, and Charlotte also knows that diamonds are products that merchants boast about and harvest.It was really hard not to like the sparkling diamond.But she liked what she liked, not everything she liked had to be obtained.Charlotte thought that the diamond necklace being auctioned now was very beautiful, with a gentle and girly design.But the price of this necklace is not at all girly, at least not something that a mature young woman like her can afford.The starting price was one million five hundred thousand. Charlotte watched as the bidding signs popped up like mushrooms after the rain, and she instinctively tightened her grip on her own sign, afraid of impulsive spending.Leandro, who was standing beside her, noticed her small gesture. His gaze swept over her index finger as she picked at the bidding card, and his eyebrows raised as he asked, "Is this necklace beautiful?"Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "It looked p
Charlotte was particularly curious about where Leandro would take her. This was the first time Leandro had told her that he would take her out to play.Before she left, she asked Leandro once, and he only said he would know later.She also didn't want to ask again, and she was very excited along the way.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped.Charlotte unbuckled her seatbelt and, upon seeing Leandro get out of the car, she pushed the door open and followed him out of the car.At that moment, Charlotte realized that Leandro had brought her to an auction house.She was a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly come here?"Leandro led her inside while explaining in a low voice, "There was a jewelry auction today."Charlotte still didn't quite understand his meaning, so she could only nod her head and say, "Oh, oh, oh."It was not until she took her seat that she understood the meaning of Leandro bringing her here tonight.
I swam in the pool for nearly an hour in the afternoon, and then I splashed around with Leandro in it for a while. It was quite exhausting.Charlotte's appetite was much better than usual, she didn't gobble down her food, but she chewed slowly without stopping for a single bite.Leandro had finished eating, leisurely wiping the corners of his mouth, his gaze drifting towards Charlotte, who looked like a squirrel hoarding food across from him. His thin lips slowly curved into a smile.He saw her stop and handed her a cup filled with water.Charlotte was choking a bit and was looking for water. When she saw Leandro handing her water, she quickly took it and drank a big gulp, swallowing the food stuck in her throat. Then she looked at him and said, "I'm done eating."She patted her chest and felt much more comfortable after she had swallowed the food."Choked?"Charlotte was a bit embarrassed, she had eaten too quickly just now and said,
As Leandro opened the door, he saw Charlotte squatting on the ground wearing a bathrobe. He thought she had fallen and quickly walked up to her, asking, "Where did you fall?"Charlotte had just crouched down, and her whole body froze.Realizing it, she quickly reached out and picked up her skirt and panties, stuffing them into her arms.She had just picked up the underwear when Leandro came over and asked her where she had fallen.Charlotte's hand trembled as she stuffed the underwear into her skirt. Her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp and she said, "I didn't fall, I'm going to the bathroom to change my clothes."She said it and instinctively stood up.Leandro reached out and protected, "Don't run, you will fall."After he finished speaking, the dark eyes immediately sank.Just now, Charlotte was squatting on the ground, and she only saw a slightly red face of the person wrapped in a white bathrobe.Now she stood u
"And then?"Leandro understood, but he didn't want to let her go so easily.Charlotte deeply regretted reading that novel, and of course, she regretted even more inexplicably letting Leandro go for a swim.She instinctively reached out to push the person in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, the person in front of her remained unmoved.Charlotte awkwardly raised her head and said, "I wanted to go ashore."Leandro pursed his lips and said, "I wondered what happened to the main characters afterwards."He smiled and reached out to help Charlotte tuck the wet hair on her cheek behind her ear, saying, "Mrs. Romero, it's not good to stop telling a story halfway."Charlotte listened to his laughter, her head feeling hot, as if she was being roasted over a fire.Even though I was soaking in the water, I still felt extremely hot."I told you as soon as I went up."The man who had always indulged her did not le
