"Excuse me?"Before Charlotte could react, her left hand was suddenly gripped by a large hand, and the next second, she felt something both hard and soft.Leandro, who was squatting in front of her, was tilting his head slightly, allowing her to touch his Adam's apple.Charlotte quickly pulled her hand away. "I..."She thought, "I was just thinking about it. I didn't really mean to touch it..."Leandro lowered his head and looked at her. "Don't you want to touch it? You are curious, aren't you?""No, I..."Charlotte went speechless again, looking at him with unprecedented embarrassment."You sure you don't want to touch it? It's not too much to satisfy your curiosity, Mrs. Romero."He said it casually as if it were something as ordinary as having dinner.With that, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.When Charlotte saw that, her mind went blank, and inexplicably, she reached out to touch it."How does it feel?"When Charlotte realized what she had done, she was so ashamed of herself.
Marcus had not recovered from the shock when he saw their car drive past him and go into the distance.He didn't come to his senses until the car turned around the corner and disappeared. Then he quickly turned back to his car.Marcus had known Charlotte for twelve years and had never heard that she knew Leandro. And he knew Greyson and Leandro didn't have any kind of friendship. Charlotte and Leandro got married all of a sudden, and Marcus didn't believe there was anything between them.Not long after the car left the villa, it came to a steady stop at a red light. Leandro glanced in the rearview mirror, his thick lashes flapping down, blocking the coldness inside of his eyes.Soon the green light came on, and he started the car again.Ten minutes later, the car stopped again."Mrs. Romero!"Charlotte was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed. With the incident of touching Leandro's Adam's apple before going out, she couldn't face him calmly now.She didn't know what was wrong wit
With a slight sound, in the driver's seat, Leandro had already unfastened the seat belt.He pushed the car door but didn't get out. With his left hand on the steering wheel, he slightly turned toward Charlotte. "We are home, Mrs. Romero."After saying that, he leaned over and unfastened her seatbelt.Charlotte froze for a while. The fragrance of the woods filled her nose. She didn't dare to move at all.Luckily, Leandro got out of the car after unfastening her seatbelt.He went to the back of the car, helped her put down the wheelchair, and carried it to the door to the garage.There were three steps on the way out of the garage. Right after Charlotte jumped one step up, Leandro came back after putting the wheelchair down to carry her up."I can do it myself."Leandro looked down at her but didn't have any intention of putting her down at all. He said, "It's not the first time. Mrs. Romero, you don't have to be so polite."After he said this, Charlotte was already carried to the sitti
Charlotte wore an angry face when she saw Marcus. She knew that Marcus wouldn't give up.She compressed her lips and looked up at Leandro. "I don't think I'm going home tonight," she said with embarrassment.Charlotte clasped her hands tightly. She was really afraid that Leandro would say no."It's nice if you can move here early."As Leandro turned off the TV, the surveillance video was gone.Leandro put down the remote control, looked at Charlotte, and added calmly, "I forgot to tell you that the place has only one bedroom."Charlotte was stunned to hear that.She wondered if he was kidding her.Charlotte didn't believe it. After a pause, she said tentatively, "It's a big villa. Just one bedroom?""Looks like you don't believe me."With that, Leandro got up and walked up to her.Staring at him, Charlotte asked, "What... What are you doing?""I'm going to show you around," he replied.Charlotte smelt the crisp fragrance growing stronger as Leandro leaned closer to her. When he picked
Before Charlotte had a chance to explain, she received a ton of messages from Elizabeth."Lottie, did you guys progress so quickly?""Mr. Romero wasn't really secretly in love with you for years, and now he's finally gotten his wish to marry, right?""Hahaha, if you're at this point at Mr. Romero's house, wouldn't Marcus be furious?""Marcus was at the door, were you planning to stay overnight at Mr. Romero's house tonight? Oh, sorry, I should say your house, you're married, joint property of husband and wife!""Lottie, you really nailed it this time! I'm impressed! Seriously impressed! Leandro is indeed a catch, don't hesitate, you guys got your marriage license, it's legal!""But for now, let's not cause any fatalities, remember to use protection. I won't disturb you guys anymore, okay!"Charlotte saw the message from Elizabeth, her hand trembled, and the phone slipped directly onto the bed, bounced, and with a "clatter", it fell to the ground.Meanwhile, the sound of a door opening
This sudden turn of events plunged the atmosphere into an unprecedented awkwardness. Charlotte, who had seen all sorts of situations in her life, had truly never seen anything like this before!Her face flushed, she propped herself up from the bed and sat back down, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry, I didn't sit properly."Leandro looked at him thoughtfully, a rare glimpse of his master's mood visible in his unfathomable dark eyes, "Does Ms. Bernard need to take a bath before we talk?"It was already summer in Aelmere in June, and Charlotte, due to her injured leg, wore skirts every day.Today was no exception for her, she was wearing a chiffon dress, which was soft and skin-friendly, very comfortable.The chiffon fabric stained with red wine was not so comfortable. The chiffon at the chest was tightly attached, revealing a section of the bra underneath, exuding a subtle sensuality.Charlotte's face turned even redder, "Sorry, I, I need to take a shower first.""There were your clothes in the c
"Sophistry?""..."Charlotte hadn't expected to blurt out like this: "No, what I mean is, please let me explain.""Alright, make your excuses then.""..."Tired, let it be destroyed!No one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.Charlotte bit her lip, "My friend tends to talk nonsense, please don't take it to heart. She just likes to daydream.""Perhaps I've embarrassed myself enough for tonight," Charlotte regained some composure, "I understand why you agreed to my unreasonable request of 'marriage'. You need a wife too, don't you?"After Charlotte finished speaking, she carefully watched Leandro, fearing that he would say no.Leandro gave a slight nod, signaling her to continue."I just happened to need a 'husband' too, just like in situations like tonight, you are still quite - useful.""Use?"Leandro suddenly looked up at her, his tone slow and somewhat carelessly casual.Charlotte was suddenly at a loss, inexplicably thinking of Elizabeth's news. It took her two seconds
The night at midnight was particularly quiet, the car outside the villa hadn't left yet, and it sat there like a big dog that had been abandoned.Marcus watched as the last light in the villa went out. His hand, holding a cigarette, trembled slightly. A wave of bitterness surged in his heart, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.He knew that Charlotte would not be coming out of that villa again tonight.She married Leandro and they lived together legally and rightfully.And he, waiting outside this villa, couldn't find any solution to the problem.Perhaps by tomorrow morning, he would have seen them lovingly coming out together from the villa.Marcus didn't know how he drove back. Along the way, he was like a puppet without thoughts, just driving back to the Gallagher's house by instinct.At this point in time, the Gallagher family should have been fast asleep.But tonight, the Gallagher's house was all lit up.Marcus drove the car into the garage, and as soon as he walked up to the s
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
When Charlotte used to come home from college, she would wait for Greyson to come back at the garage door.When he finished parking and came out of the garage, she happily approached him and asked, "Mr. Bernard, are you off work?" Then she took his briefcase from his hand and playfully teased, making Greyson laugh happily.Today, she suddenly felt an impulse and couldn't help but treat Leandro the way she used to treat Greyson in the past.Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes flickered, and he calmly replied, "Hmm, it's time to get off work, rushing back to see Mrs. Romero."Charlotte's face grew warm for a moment, her gaze falling on his tie. Under the sunlight, the tie clip reflected light, shimmering slightly.It was a tie clip she gave.The curvature of Charlotte's lips increased, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited as she thought about the gift in her suitcase.Joyce saw Leandro come back and quickened her pace.
Charlotte clicked in and realized that it was Dangelo's fan who picked him up today. She heard Dangelo say, "I saw beautiful love. Who doesn't want sweet love?" And then Dangelo became a trending topic.Fans speculated whether he was in a relationship, but after digging around, no signs were found.The only one that made people doubt was Charlotte, but Charlotte was already married, so obviously it wasn't her.However, when Dangelo said those words, his fans naturally thought that he had a girlfriend.Elizabeth, a devoted mother, felt both relieved and worried. When she thought about Charlotte and Dangelo being on the same flight, she couldn't help but indulge in some gossip.Charlotte was puzzled: "I don't know either, I'm not familiar with Dangelo."It was Elizabeth's time to get off work, and she happened to be slacking off.Charlotte had just sent the message, and her message came back immediately: [Image.JPG] [Image.JPG]E
When Charlotte was released, her whole body felt like a fish about to be dried out.I was burning all over my body, breathing heavily, as if I could break at any moment.His legs had no strength, and he relied on Leandro for support.She lay in his arms for a while, her rapid breathing slowly calming down. Charlotte then lifted her head slightly and glanced at Leandro, asking, "Are you going back to the office?"The person in my arms still had a red face, and the mist in their eyes had not dispersed yet. When they looked up at him like that, it was like a lost little deer in the early morning.Leandro looked at her, his Adam's apple rolling visibly up and down, he averted his gaze with restraint and chuckled lightly, "Melvin must be very grateful to you."Just after being intimate, she immediately started worrying about him going back to the office.Charlotte was taken aback, "You see, there is a rather important meeting later."
After eating, Charlotte finally felt alive.She drank lemonade and felt extremely satisfied.Leandro had already finished eating and, seeing her put down her fork, he smiled and asked, "Finished eating?""I ate well."After eating and drinking enough, I felt sleepy again.Charlotte suppressed a yawn and looked down at the time on her phone, "It's two o'clock, aren't you going back to the office?""First, I took Mrs. Romero home."He didn't say not to come back, so after taking her home, he still had to go to the company.Charlotte was afraid of delaying his important matters, so she picked up her phone and said she was going home.Leandro did indeed have something to do in the afternoon, and after he dropped her off at home, he received a call from Melvin.There was an important meeting at three o'clock, and Melvin was worried that Leandro had forgotten about it. He reluctantly made the call."I got it, you
Charlotte woke up from a deep sleep when Leandro called her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, with his eyebrows and eyes so close. She blinked and lazily said, "Leandro."He looked at the person, and his heart immediately softened.Leandro handed her the bottled water he had opened and said, "Have a drink."Charlotte looked down and slowly took the mineral water, tilting her head back to take a sip.The slightly cool mineral water went down my throat, and my slightly dizzy mind instantly became clear.She touched her slightly warm cheeks and asked, "How long did I sleep?"Leandro smiled and said, "Not long ago, we just arrived at the place to eat."Charlotte looked at the time and realized it was already one o'clock.After waking up, hunger took over, and she looked at Leandro in distress, saying, "I was so hungry.""Then we went downstairs to have lunch.""Uh-huh."She nodd
