"Is that so?"
Leandro took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped his hands.
Charlotte heard these words, and her hands trembled beneath her. "Yes, yes."
She said and chuckled, "Mr. Romero, you go to work, I occasionally have a poor appetite."
Leandro looked at her for a moment and said, "Hmm."
He did not ask any further and got up from the table.
He took two steps and then stopped, turning around to look at Charlotte, who was relieved. "Yesterday afternoon, thank you," he said.
"No, no need to thank."
She was the one who caused more trouble compared to him.
Leandro averted his gaze, turned around, and went upstairs.
Soon, Charlotte saw him coming down from upstairs, having tied his tie.
"Safe travels, Mr. Romero."
Charlotte raised her hand and waved, Leandro glanced at her and responded faintly with a "Hmm" before leaving.
Soon, Charlotte heard the sound of a car engine outside.
She purs
Elizabeth's suggestion can't be said to be completely absurd, but it can't be said to be reasonable either.Charlotte understood her friend's good intentions, but she personally wanted more.Although it is said that women pursue men through a veil, it is also possible that there is a mountain between them.Moreover, she had initially used a car accident to threaten Leandro into marrying her, forcing him to get involved. Now, although they have a cooperative relationship, she has other intentions.If Leandro knew that she was interested, would he think she was despicable?She... didn't want to be seen that way in his eyes!Even if you want to pursue, at least wait until the contract ends, right?Charlotte made a decision and kept all her thoughts to herself.Joyce came up and called her to have lunch. Charlotte was embarrassed, she didn't expect that she had been tangled up all morning, for over three hours, and hadn't done anyt
Upon hearing this, Joyce hastened her movements. "Almost done, ma'am. Just wait for another five minutes!""It's okay, I was just asking."Poor Joyce, she really couldn't find any other excuses to run away.After clarifying her thoughts, Charlotte began to make an effort to restrain her feelings for Leandro.At least, at least don't always stare at others infatuatedly!It's just liking someone, it's hard to control.Charlotte tried hard for several days, but the results were very poor.Especially after realizing that she had developed feelings for Leandro, she no longer felt as comfortable around him as she used to.Several times, she couldn't bear it anymore and just made excuses to run away.Just when Charlotte was suffering in this "sweet infatuation," finally came some good news: "Mr. Romero was going on a business trip!"I have been on a business trip for quite a while, seven days to be exact!Finally,
Charlotte felt that there was something missing from the tie in her hand. She put it back and picked another one, then walked back to the suit and compared it again.However, doing it this way, the effect was slightly worse. She simply put on the tie and took two steps back, intending to see the result.I took a step back unwillingly, only to collide with the man's solid chest.Charlotte was startled for a moment and instinctively turned around, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry!"She lowered her head and looked at her foot that she had accidentally stepped on, "I didn't notice you."She lifted her head again and looked at Leandro's face, cautiously asking, "Did I not step on you?""No."His black eyes glanced at her, and Leandro withdrew his hand that was resting on her shoulder, "Choosing a tie?"Charlotte frowned and said, "My taste in aesthetics might not be very good.""Who said that?"She didn't react immediately, "Huh
"I forgot to ask earlier, what kind of business trip gift do you want?"Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then realized and instinctively wanted to say no, but immediately remembered the sentence Leandro said last time, "Melvin picked a gift for his girlfriend." She realized that she had to have this business trip gift, whether she wanted it or not.She thought for a moment, "Mango candy, is it okay?"The man looked at her and chuckled lightly, "Do you like eating that much?"She looked embarrassed, "Well, I just wanted to try different mango candies.""Okay."Charlotte didn't know if it was her illusion, but she thought Leandro was "good", gentle and indulgent.Oh no, now she even knows how to sabotage herself.That night, Charlotte had a dream with a "mango flavor".The next day, the alarm clock rang, and she opened her eyes, looking at the familiar ceiling, only then realizing it was a dream.It was so real!
Leandro went on a business trip, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.A few days ago, she was hiding from people so much that she couldn't bear it. Now that Leandro is on a business trip, she finally doesn't have to hide from people anymore!However, Charlotte didn't stay happy for long. On the fourth day of Leandro's business trip, she discovered that she was the only one in the big villa at night, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable for no apparent reason.On ordinary days, she couldn't continue playing the relaxing game before bedtime, so she just stared at her phone.Charlotte didn't come to her senses until she received a message from Elizabeth.Lottie, would you like to hang out this weekend?Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that it was already Friday today!Time passed so quickly, why hasn't Leandro come back yet?She was thinking about this matter in her mind, but she didn't expect that
Can she pretend to be dead? Charlotte's hand holding the phone trembled when she saw Leandro's straightforward question with a simple "?"Last night, Elizabeth sent me a video of a bar before going to bed, and she added, "Join me tomorrow to watch handsome guys, thank you."She had just been impulsive, thinking about the message Elizabeth had sent her before going to sleep last night. Without thinking, she replied with her words: "I'm ready to go and accompany you to see handsome guys."Unfortunately, at that moment, she mistakenly sent the message to Leandro!Charlotte's face was burning hot, just as she was about to send a message saying "Wrong person" to pass it off, Elizabeth sent a message at this moment: Did you wake up? My handsome boys are already impatient!Meanwhile, Leandro sent another message: "What handsome guy are you looking at?"She pondered her response as Elizabeth's messages kept popping up one after another.Charl
Elizabeth had already arrived, and Charlotte saw her sitting at the booth as soon as she entered the restaurant.Today is Valentine's Day, and it's also the weekend. Inside the restaurant, almost ninety percent of the people are couples.Charlotte walked quickly over and said, "Liz.""Oh, here comes the married young beauty.""?"She thought, "Why did she call her like that?"Praise her beauty if you want to, but why did you also include "married" and "young married woman"?Elizabeth handed her the menu and asked, "Does your husband know that you are going to watch handsome guys with me tonight?""..."It's really bringing up the pot that shouldn't be brought up.Seeing her silence, Elizabeth felt something was wrong: "Tell me, who are you! Why are you occupying Lottie's body!"Charlotte was amused by her, "We are all human, I still have my dignity!""Tsk, what was the matter with your silence just n
"I've said so much, but actually, this is the key point, Lottie."Indeed, they were good friends for many years.Charlotte sighed softly and said, "I guess I am, once bitten, twice shy."She had used all her courage to approach Marcus, so it was already very difficult for her to withdraw.Now I am grateful that I still had the ability to like someone and indeed fell in love with someone else.But it was she who fell in love first, and she was quite scared, and in the end, it was the same outcome.Elizabeth knew that Charlotte had not completely recovered from the emotional pain of her previous relationship, but she didn't say anything about it, so she didn't ask either.Now Charlotte accidentally revealed her true feelings. As a good friend, I felt both heartbroken and helpless."To be honest, haven't you ever thought that Leandro actually liked you?"Charlotte was sharpening the pencil when she heard Elizabeth's words.
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
Charlotte was feeling flustered after being caught by the head teacher for reading a novel in class. In her panic, she loosened her grip and her phone fell directly onto the bedsheet.She instinctively picked up her phone, then exited the reading app and switched back to the home screen. Only then did she nervously glance at the person beside her and said, "Reading a novel.""Reading novels on a mobile phone is not good for the eyes, so I asked Melvin to prepare a Kindle."Charlotte was taken aback and reluctantly nodded, "Okay."Leandro looked at her and asked, "What novel is it? Is it good?""The romance novel that Liz sent me was just average, not very interesting, just to pass the time."I'm sorry, author. I lied, it was very good!Charlotte said, and she grabbed the thin blanket beside her.She really didn't know how to lie.Obviously, Leandro also noticed her little gesture: "Are you so engrossed that Mrs. Romero t
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
