He lowered his eyes, suddenly grabbing her hand, "Cold?"
Charlotte's hand trembled slightly, she quickly withdrew it, still stubbornly insisting, "I'm not cold."
"Don't cover it up, lest it gets hot again later."
He said, reaching out to remove her coat.
Charlotte subconsciously tugged at her coat, looking at him awkwardly, "It's still a bit cold."
Leandro looked at her, holding his coat, neither exerting force nor letting go, just standing off with her like this.
The gaze in his dark pupils was playful yet profound. His thin lips moved slightly, hooking into a faint smile, "Not afraid of the heat?"
Charlotte suddenly realized, Leandro did it on purpose!
He had long noticed that her blushing just now was due to shyness, not heat at all.
This person was really mean, teasing her like one would tease a cat!
She suddenly lost her temper, immediately letting go of her hand, and the suit jacket slid right off her body,
Charlotte looked out the car window, not daring to act up anymore.Fortunately, it wasn't long before the car stopped downstairs at the Bernard's villa.Charlotte glanced at the man beside her, took off her coat, and put it aside, "Mr. Romero, I'm home."The man slowly opened his eyes, glanced out the car window, then turned his head to look at her: "Let's go back, rest early, sweet dreams.""Alright, I've gotten out of the car, Mr. Romero. Sweet dreams to you too."Seeing him return to normal, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.She might just be cursed, unable to bear Leandro's tenderness, it was too strange, even with a hint of ambiguity.Charlotte pushed open the car door and got out. The driver had already unfolded her wheelchair and placed it next to the car door. As soon as she got out of the car, she sat down in the wheelchair.Before closing the car door, Charlotte took another look inside the vehicle. In the dimly li
The news of Marcus and Lydia renting a room together had been hanging on the internet for a whole day. The Gallagher family tried every means to remove the trending topic, but they were told it couldn't be removed.Raymond was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and Marisa was directly reduced to tears by the anger.Ever since Marcus ran away from his wedding, the reputation of the Gallagher family had been getting worse day by day.The Gallagher family had become the laughingstock of the upper echelons in Aelmere. Charlotte returned home, just in time to find Greyson reading in the living room.News about Marcus today was buzzing around, and Greyson, the "former father-in-law", had heard so much that his ears were calloused.Looking at Charlotte now, Greyson had stared for a long while. He originally had a lot to say, but in the end, it all condensed into a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you didn't marry Marcus."Looking back, it may no
Yesterday was indeed a bit tiring, Charlotte got up a bit late today. She sent Elizabeth a "ridiculous" emoji and then went to freshen up.Greyson had an early meeting today. He had already returned to the office long ago.Charlotte was eating breakfast while scrolling through Twitter.She didn't go up to see the trashy man and woman, Lydia and Marcus, she went up to see the comment section of Dangelo.Fortunately, the comments under Dangelo's clarification tweet yesterday were all harmonious.Even because of Dangelo's tweet, Charlotte gained over two hundred thousand followers.Charlotte's Twitter had always been a bystander, rarely posting personal updates.Her Twitter wasn't even verified, it had been registered for seven years, and there were only eight posts in total. Three of them were from a couple of days ago when she was having an online argument with Lydia.Every fan who visited her homepage was saying "Sister is too
Marcus had just come out of a meeting, while Terry on the side was hesitant to speak.His face was tired and indifferent: "What is it?""Ms. Wagner wanted to see you, Mr. Gallagher.""Gone!"Upon hearing the name "Lydia", Marcus felt an inexplicable aversion.Yesterday morning when he woke up and saw Lydia naked beside him, Marcus's first reaction was not guilt, but disgust.He had never despised someone so much. Looking at Lydia lying next to him, he even regretted immensely that he had once wronged Charlotte for her sake.That was the first time he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity for Lydia, even when he heard her crying and saying sorry, he just wanted her to shut up.In fact, he did silence her. For the first time, he looked at her with such coldness and disdain, telling her to get lost.He had originally thought that Lydia wouldn't dare to appear before him again, but it seemed now that he had overestimated her
Just after three in the afternoon, Charlotte woke up, sat in her room for a while, then went downstairs to drink a bowl of sweet soup.At five o'clock, Charlotte came out of the piano room, Jaylen Obrien asked her what she wanted to eat in the evening."There was nothing in particular I wanted to eat, Jaylen, you decide.""Alright, I'll make something refreshing then. The weather is hot and it's affecting our appetites."Charlotte responded somewhat absent-mindedly, "Thank you, Jaylen."She would have to go over to Leandro's the next day, and she was hesitating whether to pack or not.Thinking of this, Charlotte's face grew hot.She made it seem like she couldn't wait to move there!Greyson had a dinner party tonight and called to ask Charlotte to go to bed early.Charlotte had originally planned to wait for Greyson to come back and chat with him, but Greyson said he might not be back until eleven that night, so she had
Charlotte set the alarm for seven o'clock, Leandro had said he would come over at eight last night.Just in case, he got up, washed, and changed his clothes even earlier than eight o'clock.The room where Charlotte had slept for over twenty years, she suddenly couldn't sleep in now. She was quite reluctant to let it go, but her reluctance was quickly dispersed by the sound of a car engine from downstairs.Charlotte hastily wheeled her chair to the balcony of her room, from which she could perfectly see everything at the main gate.It really was Leandro!Meanwhile, the second alarm on her phone went off.8:00.True to Mr. Romero's form, when he said eight o'clock, it was exactly eight o'clock, not a minute early or a minute late.Greyson was always an early riser. By this time, he had already finished his run and returned.The butler told him that Leandro had come over, to which Greyson, who was reading the newspaper, exp
The pressure came to Charlotte.She lifted her head, giving an embarrassed smile, "Dad, we have plans with friends later, we'll come back to have dinner with you next time!"Joking aside, if they continued to chat, she wouldn't be able to hide the fact that she wet the bed when she was three!Greyson didn't mind at all, "It's okay, you young people, it's good to go out more on weekends.""You were still young too, Dad! Look, your daughter was only eighteen!"Charlotte lifted her hand and held it under her chin, acting coy.She had known how to sweet-talk Greyson since she was a child, and their father-daughter relationship had always been like this.When Charlotte was praising Greyson, she didn't forget to show off herself. It was only when she put down her hand that she remembered Leandro was still sitting next to her.She was petrified.Turning her head slightly, she found Leandro staring at her, his deep black eyes un
Charlotte pursed her lips, too lazy to argue with him: "I've packed everything. What I'm taking with me is in those two boxes."Leandro averted his gaze, "I had the driver come up."He spoke, paused, and looked at her right lower leg, which, although the cast had been removed, was still wrapped in bandages, "Could Mrs. Romero go downstairs by herself?"Charlotte looked puzzled, "Didn't I just go upstairs by myself?"Leandro's keystrokes suddenly paused, he abruptly put his phone back into his pocket and walked over to her.Charlotte watched him lean over, feeling as if the oxygen in front of her was being squeezed out by his fresh woody scent, leaving her breathless, "What's wrong?""Weren't you just complaining that I didn't lift you up?"He spoke, his hand already resting on her waist.Before Charlotte could react, he had already been lifted off the ground in a waist hug."?"When did she complain?Charlo
On the other end of the phone, Elizabeth didn't hear Charlotte's voice and found it a bit strange, "Lottie, what's wrong? Did the call drop?""No, Liz, it seems like my house has been burglarized—""No sooner had the words 'We've been robbed' left my mouth than the front door was flung open. A familiar figure walked in. Charlotte, holding her phone, awkwardly shuffled her feet."Just at this moment, Elizabeth's voice came from the phone, "Hide quickly, I'll call the police for you. By the way, what's your address? Ah, hurry up and quit the game, let's text on Line, don't use voice chat, otherwise the thief will find you, isn't that just handing yourself over?""..."Spoken very well, don't say it again next time.After Elizabeth finished speaking, she hung up the call. Charlotte, looking at Leandro who just walked in, forced an awkward smile, "Mr. Romero, you're back.""Didn't Melvin send you my itinerary?"The implicatio
Leandro, who had already reached the middle of the stairs, realized that Charlotte hadn't followed him. He stopped, turned around, and looked at her, "What's wrong?"Charlotte pursed her lips slightly and shook her head, "It's nothing, let's eat."Forget it, it was quite embarrassing, let's not bring it up.The incident at this charity performance, although there were some unpleasant occurrences, the final result was quite satisfactory for Charlotte. After all, this was a meaningful event.The online commotion lasted for a few days and then stopped. Charlotte received a call from Gabriella.Gabriella had invited Charlotte to be the ambassador for "Melodious Music". Of course, there was no remuneration, but for public figures, such philanthropic activities were considered mutually beneficial.Public welfare needed the heat of traffic to attract people's attention, and public figures needed such things to add a sparkle to themselves, especiall
Both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, Greyson knowing his daughter was doing well, and Charlotte not having to worry about her guilt being exposed.After hanging up the phone, Charlotte thought of the "marriage agreement". She reached out to the dressing table, grabbed the agreement, and read it again.Upon looking again, Charlotte still felt that something was off.Forget it, the contract has already been signed, there's nothing to agonize over anymore.Charlotte yawned, too tired to continue. She put away the agreement, changed into her pajamas, and went to take a nap.The issue between Charlotte and Tiffany had caused quite a stir online, and later Leandro even got involved. Even Aidan, who usually doesn't pay attention to this entertainment gossip, took a glance at Twitter.Leandro had just finished handling matters when he turned his head and saw the screen of the mobile phone on the desk lit up.Messages were being
#LeandroLiked# The speed at which this trend is rising is like riding a roller coaster, it shot up to third place in no time.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Caroline had Tiffany brought along as well.Leandro was praised in the trending topics for how much he spoiled his wife, while Tiffany was harshly criticized."Mom, I'm totally shipping this couple! (LOL, it's the first time I've known that even backing up your wife is not allowed.)""Mr. Romero and Mrs. Romero's relationship was so good! Looking back, Mr. Romero supporting Mrs. Romero was simply awesome! Someone should stop jumping around, it's enough to belittle such a powerful Mrs. Romero, let alone accusing her of using privileges. I think you've used your privileges too much on a daily basis, and you see everyone as if they're the same as you!""It was evident that Mr. Romero loved Mrs. Romero very much, and it was also clear that someone was nothing more than a buffoon!"
"Wasn't it about choosing a song?"Just as Charlotte was so embarrassed that she was about to dig a hole to hide, Leandro innocently asked a question.Charlotte gritted her teeth and randomly picked a song to start.Charlotte played two pieces consecutively, the first was the one she had already chosen in her mind, and the second was played casually.After it ended, her embarrassment had mostly faded. She turned back to look at the man on the sofa, "Which song is better?""Rhapsody in Blue," he said.Charlotte was somewhat surprised, not expecting Leandro to actually say the name outright."I also thought this one was good.""Mm-hmm."He responded, lowered his head, looked at his phone, and suddenly asked, "Have you seen your Twitter comments?""?"So you're bringing up the very thing we're not supposed to mention, aren't you?"The comments from netizens were quite interesting."He commented q
The notary lawyer came up quickly, and the entire process was recorded to preserve legal evidence.When Charlotte was signing, Leandro was right beside her. The faint woody scent on the man was pleasant, but she couldn't identify what it was.She signed her name and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Romero, what perfume do you use?"It actually smelled quite good.Leandro glanced at her, put one of the agreements into the desk, and gave the other agreement to Charlotte: "You keep this agreement."The notary lawyer had tactfully left, leaving only Charlotte and Leandro in the study at that moment.He lowered his head to smell the fragrance on his body, then returned to the question Charlotte had just asked, "Is it too fragrant?"Charlotte shook her head, "No, I just thought the top and middle notes smelled quite nice, with a faint scent of wood.""Oh, it was cedarwood."He didn't know when he had bent down, the scent of cedarwo
During the agreement period, Party B should seek help from Party A at the first sign of any difficulties.The first party was Leandro, so naturally, the second party was Charlotte.Leandro's face remained calm: "Since we are in a marital relationship, even though it's just a cooperative one, legally and in terms of what we tell others, we are a real husband and wife in every sense.""Since we were truly husband and wife, as your legal husband, your husband in name to the outside world, wasn't I supposed to help you with your difficulties at instance? And you, as my legal wife, my wife in name to the outside world, weren't you supposed to seek my help at the first instance whenever you faced any difficulties?"After speaking, Leandro glanced at her, "Ms. Bernard, I hope you understand, no matter what our relationship is, the real relationship is only known to the two of us. But to others, to the law, you are my wife, you are Mrs. Romero. If anything happen
Tiffany hadn't expected Kamila to truly not care about her. She watched in disbelief as Kamila walked away, "Kamila, believe it or not, I'm going to change my agent right away!"Kamila had just reached the door when she heard Tiffany's words and found them amusing. "My abilities are limited, and the Bonilla family has a large business. I believe it wouldn't be difficult for Mr. Bonilla to find you a capable agent. Since you look down on me so much, why don't you tell the boss to replace me?"She really had had enough!Kamila opened the door and walked away without looking back."You..."Tiffany was actually just upset. Seeing Kamila really leave, she panicked for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Tiffany didn't take Kamila seriously.Just go!It wasn't like she was irreplaceable!Tiffany saw that Damian was unable to help, and her Twitter had already been bombarded with nearly two hundred thousand negative comments.
Upon hearing this, Kamila's face changed. She had been Tiffany's agent for five years and naturally knew the temperament of this little princess well.When the little princess was in a good mood, she would constantly call her "Sister Xu". But when she was in a bad mood, she would turn her face and not recognize anyone.She had good intentions for her, but she now felt she lacked the ability.Kamila also felt a bit disheartened, her face darkened for a moment, but she quickly recovered: "Tiffany, you know, I'm just an agent, I can't go against the company's decision. If you really can't swallow this, you can only ask Mr. Bonilla to stand up for you."Tiffany was angry and couldn't tell the good from the bad in Kamila's words. She just felt impatient, "Don't say the nonsense. I'll ask my brother for help!"She waved her hand, not wanting to hear anything more from Kamila at all.Tiffany took her phone and directly called Damian Bonilla.
