When Charlotte came to her senses, she found herself holding flowers in her left hand, a gift box in her right hand, and leaning against the door of the room.
What can I say, he was a bit silly.
She was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly put the large bunch of roses in her hand aside. She then placed the gift box on the dressing table, freeing up both hands to rub her face.
No way, no way!
Leandro kissed her!
Leandro kissed her because of Valentine's Day!
Does this mean that, in fact, he also had a little bit of feelings for her?
Charlotte couldn't contain the surge of her heart when she thought about the brief yet blossoming kiss just now.
The long-ignored phone screen suddenly lit up one after another. She stared at it for a while, then restrained her wandering thoughts and picked up the phone to check the Line messages.
Elizabeth: "Didn't you say that your husband was on a business trip?"
Elizabeth: "Don't t
Charlotte was in low spirits for a while until drowsiness hit her, and then she composed herself and got up to wash up.Fake is fake, anyway, even if Leandro is acting, he will act with her!Although it may seem a bit naive, it has to be said that it is quite effective. Charlotte's mood instantly improved.It was already late. Today, I spent the whole day shopping with Elizabeth. Her legs were sore. After Charlotte took a shower, she climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep.Maybe because Leandro suddenly came back and spent Valentine's Day with her, Charlotte dreamt about him again in her dream.This time, in the dream, Leandro didn't say "wishful thinking" to her again, but said that her gift was not nice, he didn't like it, and she shouldn't give it next time.The alarm on her phone kept ringing incessantly, and Charlotte woke up from her dream.In the summer, the sun rises early. Although it was only around seven o'clock, it was a
"Ah, oh, yes."Fell down and became dumb.Charlotte blinked her eyes and said, "Um... Shall I walk you out?"Although it wasn't the first time sending Leandro out, for some reason, I still felt a little shy."Um."Time was indeed running out. Leandro nodded and walked out, with Charlotte quickly following behind.The driver waited for Leandro for a while, but he didn't show up. He became so anxious that he started sweating.The driver finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Leandro coming out of the villa.When the driver saw Charlotte, he suddenly understood.Ah, the relationship between Mr. Romero and Mrs. Romero was really extraordinary.Walking up to the entrance of the villa, Charlotte paused and said, "Safe travels."She raised her hand and waved.Leandro nodded, "I will be back in a couple of days.""Okay."Although they were just acting, the gaze from those black eyes alwa
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and he reached out to lift her chin. "Apologize for what?""I made you miss the plane."Although it was not intentional."If I can make it, I'll leave now. You stay here and wait for the doctor to come, okay?""Okay."She didn't dare to say anything anymore. If she said one more word, Leandro's plane would really be missed.Leandro gently brushed his thumb over the swollen knee, and after two seconds, he withdrew his hand.Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "I really won't move, you should hurry and catch your flight.""Um, give me a call if you have something."Leandro stood up, gave her one last glance, and then turned around to leave.At that moment, Joyce happened to come over to prepare breakfast.Seeing the scion, Joyce instinctively stood aside, wanting to wait for Leandro to pass before entering the villa.There have been situations like this before, and usuall
Leandro was right, the family doctor did indeed come quickly. Joyce's pasta had just finished cooking, and Charlotte hadn't even had a chance to go and eat when the doctor arrived.Joyce heard the doorbell and, afraid that Charlotte might move, she turned off the stove and rushed to open the door, saying, "Madam, I'll go and open the door, please don't move."Charlotte, who had no intention of moving at all, remained silent.Soon, Joyce led the doctor in.Hello, Mrs. Romero. My name is Victor Wade."Hello.""Mr. Romero told me that you bumped your left knee. Can you show me the wound?"Charlotte frowned and once again rolled up her pant legs.Just now, the knee that was all purple has become even more bluish at this moment, and it looks even scarier.Victor put on his gloves and said, "Mrs. Romero, please straighten your leg."Charlotte straightened her legs as instructed.After a thorough examination, it w
The next second, Charlotte saw an excessive person handing her a box of candy. "A business trip gift."Charlotte looked at the box of candy and said, "Thank you."I'm sorry, she shouldn't have made sarcastic comments just now!"Rest early, so you can recover faster."Originally, Charlotte wanted to share her candy. "...Okay."The man looked at her lowered eyes and loosened the button of his collar, saying, "I will escort you back to your room.""Ah, no--"Before she could finish speaking, Charlotte was lifted up in a familiar princess hug by the other person.The refreshing scent of wood instantly came closer, and she instinctively tightened her grip around his neck.Actually... it was quite good to have a leg injury!Realizing what she was thinking, Charlotte quickly pinched herself!How could she have such bitchy thoughts?Stop these terrible thoughts right now!Luckily, Leandro quickly arri
When Leandro was on a business trip, Charlotte would count on her fingers every day to figure out when he would come back.Now, everything is fine. The person has returned, and she is once again twisting her fingers, trying hard to restrain her little thoughts.Fortunately, Dangelo's concert was approaching, and Charlotte, being a dedicated freelance pianist, had also put aside her romantic thoughts.The concert will start at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, and Charlotte had to go for a rehearsal today.In the morning, she rarely went out with Leandro. As they reached the door, Charlotte suddenly remembered about the concert tomorrow night.Yesterday, Dangelo sent someone to give her five concert tickets. Charlotte gave two of them to Elizabeth, leaving three. She gave two to Caroline and kept one to give to Leandro.Of course, she didn't mean anything else, just to show her intentions."Um... Dangelo's concert is tonight. I have tickets. D
Charlotte wore a cornflower print long dress today. Before going on stage, she came over with a bare face and casually tied her hair into a twisted braid, which hung down on her left shoulder.When she was just led in by Jayden a moment ago, she was calm and gentle, speaking in a slow and soft manner.Beautiful and naturally beautiful, with an extremely good temperament, but there are also girls like Charlotte in the entertainment industry.Dangelo has been in the industry for ten years, and there are countless people in the industry who have pursued him. Not to mention the wealthy second-generation heiresses outside the industry who have also pursued him, their numbers are beyond count.Before Clinton arrived, it was heard that Dangelo personally paid 300 thousand dollars to invite Charlotte as a guest performer for the concert. He offered 450 thousand dollars to have Charlotte join him on stage to accompany him for two songs.This matter, whether
Charlotte went off the stage after her opening song, and it wasn't until the intermission that she had her "moment".After she stepped down, she took the mineral water from Caroline's hand and was about to unscrew it when she saw Tiffany not far away.Caroline leaned over and said, "What a bummer!"Charlotte calmly took a sip of water and said, "It's okay, anyway I came to work today, working for Dangelo."No matter how capable Tiffany was, she could not meddle in Dangelo's affairs.Charlotte guessed right indeed, Tiffany gritted her teeth when she saw her, but what could she do?With Dangelo and Jayden around, Tiffany had no other choice but to endure their blowing noses and glaring at her.Charlotte was busy memorizing the instructions for the performance and had no time to "appreciate" Tiffany's funny face.After a blink of an eye, it was already past four in the afternoon. After two rehearsals, Charlotte's part had no mista
Shannon’s thoughts were a mess. When she was with Nolan, there had been Alina between them. Now that she had just confessed her feelings to Emmett, suddenly a first love appeared.Once bitten, twice shy.Shannon felt like she had returned to that time of uncertainty and pain. But now, she no longer had the innocence or courage she once did.If Emmett still had feelings for his first love, she would leave him to be with her.After all, their marriage had never been a normal one to begin with.Yeah, at worst, she could just get a divorce!She sighed deeply, trying to comfort herself in a self-deceptive way.At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Emmett walked out, freshly showered.Shannon felt both sad and guilty. She instinctively turned her back to him, then immediately regretted it.Emmett was too smart. Wouldn’t turning away only expose her feelings?After a brief hesitation, she steeled herself and turned back around.As soon as she did, she met his cold, piercing gaze.Sha
Shannon bit her lip. “It’s nothing, just a spam message that distracted me for a moment.”Wasn’t Claire’s message just spam?Hmph!Even if Emmett really did buy a jet-ski, it wasn’t for Claire, so why was she being so arrogant?Melany was right—Claire was just trying to drive a wedge between her and Emmett!Pfft, she wouldn’t fall for it!Shannon pushed those thoughts aside and focused seriously on the conversation with Clarissa.Later that evening, after Shannon finished her bath, she sat down at the vanity. Suddenly, her phone lit up.It was a message from Melany: Shae, has your green tea rival been bothering you lately?【Curious.JPG】Emmett had gone to his study to deal with urgent work, leaving her alone in the room.Shannon picked up her phone and sent three question marks: ?Melany, who types quickly, responded almost immediately: I heard something, but I’m not sure if it’s true, so…It was rare for Melany to be so vague, so Shannon sent a sticker: 【Hurry up and tell me.JPG】Mela
Shannon blinked and then quickly ran over, her gaze falling to his collar before moving down to look at the tie. “Should I help you tie it?”Emmett raised an eyebrow, lifting the tie in his hand with a smile. “Then thank you, Mrs. Dunn.”Shannon felt a little awkward as she took the tie from him.She had always thought Emmett was tall, but it wasn’t until this moment, standing in front of him with a tie in her hand, that she truly felt the difference.She was 167 cm tall, which was average, but to tie his tie, she had to stand on her toes.This was her second time tying his tie. The first time, she was so nervous that it was loose and uneven. She wanted to adjust it but felt too shy, especially with his familiar woody scent lingering nearby. Eventually, she gave up.Now, they were more familiar with each other. Although she still felt shy, this time Shannon handled it much more confidently.She carefully tied the tie, then adjusted the collar of his shirt.As she moved her finger, it
Shannon nervously glanced outside but didn’t see Emmett, so she walked over to the piano and picked up the phone. “Hello?”“JJ, are you sure you’re not going to participate in this competition?”Shannon bit her lip. “Forget it, maybe next year.”On the other end, the person seemed a bit anxious. “Really? Are you sure? We really hope you’ll join this year! We’ve already arranged for media coverage, and you’ll be an instant sensation!”This was exactly what Shannon feared—she didn’t want to be an overnight celebrity!Although she hesitated for a moment, she still declined. “I really can’t this year. My leg injury is just healing.”Hearing her insist, the person sighed on the other end, sounding regretful. “Alright, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me. We’ll keep your spot reserved! I won’t bother you any further.”“Okay, goodbye.”After hanging up, Shannon stared at the piano but had no desire to practice anymore.Claire’s words suddenly resurfaced in her mind. Shannon purs
Shannon had never so directly felt a man’s desire. Her entire body stiffened, and she didn’t dare move.The room was so quiet she could hear both their breathing. The lingering woody scent only reminded her of their current situation.She wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but eventually, she couldn’t hold on anymore. Her hand started to feel numb.Slowly, she lifted her head and saw that Emmett had his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.She watched him for a few seconds before softly calling out, “Emmett, are you asleep?”She waited a moment, but didn’t hear a response, so she confirmed he was indeed asleep.Relieved, she carefully shifted out of his embrace.Knowing he was a light sleeper, she didn’t want to wake him. Once out of his arms, she lay flat for a while before daring to adjust her sleeping position.Just as she settled, a large hand suddenly clasped around her waist.Shannon stiffened. “Did I wake you?”She spoke, but there was no reply.It was clear Emmett hadn’t woken up
As she spoke, Shannon instinctively grasped the hem of Emmett’s pajamas.His gaze dropped slightly, and he saw her fingers, delicate as white jade, clutching his clothes. His dark eyes shifted like a bottomless whirlpool, focusing sharply.He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked into her sparkling eyes, his throat moving slightly as he restrained himself. “Sure.”Shannon’s face flushed hot, but the longing deep in her heart overwhelmed her. Tentatively, she reached out, grasping his pajama fabric, and after a moment of hesitation, she couldn’t hold back anymore. She moved her hand around his waist, hugging him tightly, and buried her head into his chest.The familiar woody fragrance filled her nose, more distinct than usual because of how close they were. That faint joy that had been buried deep inside her surfaced and grew more pronounced with the scent.Unable to resist, Shannon rubbed against him. “I miss you so much, Emmett.”Her soft, muffled voice came from his chest, and Emmett
When Emmett finished speaking, his gaze deepened as he looked directly at Shannon. “I wouldn’t exactly call it a good deed, but I just wanted to give ‘A Lifetime’ to Mrs. Dunn.”Shannon understood his meaning, and her face flushed instantly.She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist and couldn’t help but smile.A lifetime…The name was actually quite beautiful.She reached up to touch the bracelet again. “Thank you. I really like it.”Emmett looked at her for a moment. “Want to take a nap?”Shannon froze for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, the doorbell rang.She sighed with relief. “It’s probably the delivery. I’ll go grab it.”She turned and rushed out.Emmett watched her leave but didn’t stop her. His lips curled into a faint smile as he turned and went into the walk-in closet, taking a set of pajamas with him into the bathroom.Shannon stopped at the door, turned back to glance at him, and then made her way downstairs.When she reached the first floor, Miah was already
“Don’t like it?”“No, not at all!”How could she not like it?It was just that this bracelet was very special. It was clearly different from the popular, mass-market styles, which made her look at it a bit longer.“Should I put it on for you?”Shannon, hearing his words, extended her wrist toward him. “Why suddenly buy me a bracelet?”She loved playing the piano, so she preferred her wrists to remain bare, rarely wearing bracelets or rings. But her jewelry box wasn’t lacking in bracelets.Emmett took the bracelet, and while putting it on her wrist, he said, “I thought it’d suit Mrs. Dunn, so I bought it.”“Hmm?”Emmett fastened the clasp, then glanced up at her. “Don’t worry, this bracelet didn’t cost much.”Shannon looked at the bracelet on her wrist and, unable to help herself, reached out to touch it. Curiously, she looked at him. “Didn’t cost much? How much exactly?”She felt like her and Emmett’s “didn’t cost much” were two different concepts entirely.Emmett knew what she was th
Shannon stared at him and blinked slightly. “So you’re agreeing to go?”“Mmm,” Emmett responded, then lightly patted the back of her hand. “I brought you a gift from my business trip.”Her eyes instantly lit up. “Mango candies?”Emmett just looked at her and smiled without saying a word.Shannon, excited, asked, “Where is it?”Emmett pointed towards her vanity table. “On the vanity table.”She immediately got off him. “I’m going to check!”It had become a habit for Emmett to bring her mango candies as a gift whenever he went on a business trip.Shannon, wearing slippers, quickly made her way to the vanity. Before she even reached the table, she spotted the candy box on top.Her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.As she reached the table, she noticed that, in addition to the mango candy box, there was also a jewelry box on one side.She raised an eyebrow, picked up the candy box, opened it, and took one out. She unwrapped it and popped it in her mouth, savoring the
