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
The blush on Charlotte's face never faded. She hadn't expected her father to be so easily "deceived", and even less did she expect that Leandro, who always seemed serious and aloof, would tell so many lies.She was initially somewhat reluctant to leave home, but now, after a "heart-to-heart" with Greyson and Leandro, Charlotte was so embarrassed that she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.Fortunately, the embarrassing situation ended quickly. When she got into the car, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.A man also sat down beside her. Charlotte had just turned her head when she met his deep black eyes, "Ms. Bernard seems quite eager to move into my house?"Charlotte looked dismayed, "I just didn't expect Mr. Romero's ability to lie to be so high."Even her dad was fooled."Drive."Leandro instructed the driver to start the car, and the vehicle slowly began to move.His eyes slightly lowered, he was rolling up h
The man's voice had deepened considerably, even carrying a hint of restrained hoarseness.Charlotte felt inexplicably guilty and didn't dare to bother him anymore: "Then you sleep.""Be quiet.""Understood."She wasn't that noisy, was she?The carriage suddenly fell silent, Charlotte turned her head to look out the window, her mood beginning to flutter.She had grown so old, yet she had never lived with a man.Although it was said that their marriage was a sham and their cohabitation was just for show, they were still living under the same roof after all. Moreover, the person she was living with was Leandro, anyone would be flustered in her place!And there was Leandro's one-bedroom villa...The carriage space was small, and the woody scent from Leandro beside me became increasingly clear.The scent of the wood seemed to have a calming effect. Charlotte, inhaling it, unknowingly fell asleep.She didn't slee
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.
Elizabeth, being the top surfer, sent the trending topic to Charlotte as soon as she saw it.Charlotte saw the message, completely stunned, and quickly logged onto Twitter on her computer.With such a well-configured computer, it surprisingly stuttered for a moment during loading.Charlotte opened Twitter, only to find that the tweet she had just posted had already received over a hundred thousand comments. Meanwhile, Leandro's comment saying "I'm easy to please" sat firmly in the first place with over three hundred thousand likes.Charlotte's hand, holding the mouse, trembled slightly, seriously doubting whether she had seen it wrong.She raised her hand to rub her eyes, looked carefully again, and found that the comment was indeed posted by Leandro.Oh my God, Leandro was actually better at "showing off love" than she was!Charlotte was simply ashamed of herself!Leandro's comment, which not only had many likes but also many
Tiffany thought that was all, but half an hour later, Charlotte posted another tweet: Indeed, I was a bit overbearing, but what could I do when Mr. Romero was angry?Attached below are a few pictures of Charlotte being carried into the car by Leandro, as well as the hospital's medical records.After Charlotte sent this tweet, her heart rate increased significantly. It took a few seconds for it to calm down.Once Charlotte's tweet was posted, public opinion had largely swung in Charlotte's favor."I was laughing so hard. Tiffany is really something. She took it for granted when she bullied others, but when she met her match, she started to whine. I must be blind. I really can't see where Ms. Bernard abused her privilege.""Pat Ms. Bernard, such a capable Ms. Bernard was insulted by an idol singer, calling her a sham. When her husband stood up for her, they were accused of using their privilege and it was even posted online. Ah, this... Ms. Bernard r
Leandro looked at her calmly, his voice deep as he said, "But I think I will."Charlotte was extremely embarrassed, "...Really?""Could.""Why?"Apart from having a slightly pretty face and being a bit good at playing the piano with her hands, there was nothing particularly special about her!"You could have opinions about me, why couldn't I have opinions about you?""..."Charlotte didn't know what to say, she felt like she had brought up a morbid topic.She clutched her own palm, wishing for someone to rescue her from such an awkward and embarrassing situation.No one spoke, the room was very quiet, and Charlotte could hear her somewhat fast heartbeat.She pressed her palm, trying hard to find words to excuse herself, but she couldn't."I was joking."At that moment, Leandro suddenly spoke.Charlotte looked up in surprise, noticing the faint smile on the man's face, and let out a small sigh
"Want some candy?"Charlotte was about to ask Leandro about what he had just said, but she felt she might be overthinking it. Leandro's intention probably wasn't the same as what she had in mind.However, just as she was about to speak, she heard Leandro suddenly ask a completely unrelated question.Charlotte lowered her head, seeing that Leandro had already peeled the candy, just waiting for her agreement.She nodded, reaching out to take the candy, "Thank you, Mr. Romero."Just as she reached out her hand, the piece of candy brushed past it.Leandro held the candy up to her lips, "This is your candy, eat it."Charlotte wanted to say no, but her mouth was faster than her brain, already opening to bite into the candy.The man's curved index finger traced the corner of her lips, and Charlotte felt a tickle in her heart, almost swallowing the candy in her mouth.It seemed that the other party hadn't noticed the "minor fric
"Why did you suddenly apologize?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his long legs drew in a bit. He changed his position, propping his elbows on his thighs, and leaning slightly forward. This movement by Leandro instantly closed the distance between them.Charlotte only felt the familiar scent of wood directly sweeping over her, the man's presence directly and dominantly enveloping her. She subconsciously wanted to move back, only to realize that she was sitting on the edge of the sofa.Miscalculated.After steadying her emotions, Charlotte finally spoke, "This incident has been blown out of proportion, causing you some negative impact. I'm sorry."This was the only reason she could think of for Leandro being angry."This kind of thing, it didn't affect me much."Leandro looked at the embarrassed Charlotte in front of him, and the frustration in his heart suddenly dissipated.He lowered his gaze,
