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 look in Leandro's eyes clearly showed disbelief in her, and Charlotte's face instantly turned beet red.She licked her lips, opening her mouth to offer some explanation, but the other party had already pushed open the car door and gotten out.The man stood in front of the car door, looking down at her, "Does your leg still hurt?"Upon hearing his words, Charlotte hurriedly got out of the car, "It doesn't hurt anymore, no need to go through all that trouble, Mr. Romero!""Mm-hmm."He responded with a nod, pulled her wrist, led her to one side, and then promptly raised his hand to close the car door."Stop daydreaming, come in."Charlotte responded in a daze, "Oh."She lifted her leg and followed Leandro inside, momentarily forgetting that her right calf was still not fully functional. After taking just one step, Charlotte felt a slight pull of pain.She subconsciously took a breath.Leandro ahead also stopped,
Although Leandro had told her to choose a room herself, Charlotte's upbringing did not allow her to pick one room after another without the host's guidance.She finished her water, then went to the kitchen island to pour herself a cup of warm water, and took out her phone to surf the internet.After all, Marcus and Lydia were not celebrities, and there was no trace of them on the trending searches now.On the contrary, Charlotte's Twitter account gained over a hundred thousand followers overnight.And they were all real fans, not zombie fans.Over the past couple of months, Charlotte's Twitter account has grown from over 20,000 followers to over 500,000 followers. It must be said, this was mainly due to Lydia.Tsk tsk tsk, if this were to be used for an advertisement, I'm afraid it could earn a few thousand per piece.Of course, Charlotte just thought about it, she had no intention of doing so.There wasn't much to see on Twitt
Charlotte carefully touched the piano keys, looking back at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, was this prepared for me?""No.""Ah."The smile on her face disappeared instantly, filled with disappointment. She immediately withdrew her hand, stood up from the chair, and walked back to Leandro's side, laughing awkwardly, "Who was that for?"After Charlotte finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, "Is this what you prepared for your love?""..."Charlotte looked at the man's suddenly cold gaze, feeling that she had probably guessed right. She quickly apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't know just now and accidentally touched it. If you mind, should I clean it with disinfectant?"Elizabeth said that in the novel, the overbearing CEO had an extremely strong possessive desire for his beloved one. If anyone touched her, the CEO would want to kill them.Leandro... She didn't know if he was domineering, but she knew he was a boss
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the black Bentley came to a slow stop.Charlotte unbuckled her seatbelt and turned her head to the side to look at Leandro, saying, "Well, I'm getting off now."Her gaze fell on Leandro's eyes, filled with deep concern. She pursed her lips and hesitated before asking, "Were you busy this afternoon?"Leandro left the hospital last night and it was already past four in the morning. I don't know what time he got up and went back to the company this morning."Not busy.""Could you please come home earlier?"Leandro looked at her and slightly curved his thin lips into a smile, saying, "Okay.""I went."Charlotte took out an umbrella, opened the car door, and got out.At that time, the sun was scorching, and she hadn't even reached the store entrance when she saw Elizabeth standing on the side."Liz!"Elizabeth, who was sending a message, heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Charlotte, and she waved her hand.Charlotte walked quickly over and took the
Charlotte slept until 11 o'clock and when she woke up, she felt completely drained of energy.Hungry, very hungry, extremely hungry, super hungry!She had never been so hungry in her life, and when she got out of bed, her legs were weak.She barely finished washing up, without skincare, she immediately ran downstairs to find Joyce for food."Mrs. Romero, you woke up. Mr. Romero asked me to cook noodles for you. He said you had a stomachache last night and need to eat something light.""Thank you, Joyce."Of course, thanks to her husband as well.Charlotte was really hungry, Joyce brought out the noodles, and she immediately lowered her head and started eating.The noodles that Joyce cooked were made with chicken broth, and they smelled delicious. Charlotte quickly finished eating them.After eating a bowl of noodles, she finally felt alive again.Joyce poured another bowl of chicken soup for her, and Charlotte smelled the fragrance, feeling that Joyce was really thoughtful."It was a
Leandro was amused by her words, "As long as I don't mind you, it's fine."This remark made Charlotte reflect on herself again, and her previously normal eyes started to well up with tears."Don't cry."Before the tears fell, Leandro reached out and wiped them away from the corner of his eye.He bent down and gently kissed her on the lips, saying, "I can handle cleaning up anything I can't stand, but if you cry, then I really can't handle it."Charlotte sniffed and struggled to hold back her tears.She instinctively raised her hand to hug him, but forgot that there was still a needle stuck in her hand.Leandro saw her raise her hand and quickly pushed it back down, saying, "You need to behave."Charlotte frowned and pursed her lips, saying, "I wanted to hug you."Leandro looked at Charlotte, who still didn't look well in bed, and his gaze went into those lychee eyes. He couldn't bear to refuse.He bent down, avoiding her hand that was holding a needle, and slowly pulled her into his a
Charlotte woke up with a stomachache, and as soon as she got up, Leandro also woke up.The night light illuminated a patch of brightness, under the dim and feeble light, Charlotte's complexion didn't look too good."What happened?"Leandro turned on the headlights directly, and the bright incandescent light shone down, leaving no trace of color on his porcelain-white face. Even his usually rosy lips were covered with a layer of white."Had diarrhea!"Charlotte reluctantly responded with a grunt, clutching her stomach as she bent down and got out of bed, then immediately ran towards the bathroom.She felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach in the afternoon, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She didn't expect it to hurt so badly in the middle of the night.Just got up from the toilet, Charlotte couldn't help but lean over the sink and vomit.Leandro heard a sound and immediately pushed open the bathroom door and walked over to her, supporting her. "Did you vomit?"Charlotte gl
The group, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly had someone speaking. Aidan was happy and clicked in to take a look, only to find that it was a picture posted by Leandro.Aidan: What?Aidan: What did you send, Leandro?Michael also chimed in: A tie clip?Aidan: What is so attractive about a tie clip?At this moment, Leandro was typing slowly and deliberately: Is today a holiday?This endless and confusing statement obviously left Aidan and the others bewildered.Aidan: @Leandro, did someone steal your phone? Don't you know what holiday it is today? Can't you check the calendar?Leandro: So why did my wife give me a gift?Nathan, who was about to speak, said: ...It was not the right time to come!Aidan: ...Michael: ...That's enough!Leandro did not reply anymore, he left the group and posted a timeline with that picture: Thank you, Mrs. Romero.Timeline had just been posted when Aidan, who had been hurt before, commented: "I know, I know, I know your wife gave you a gift!"
The two of them arrived home exactly at five o'clock. Charlotte got out of the car and watched as Leandro opened the back seat door, only then realizing that she had forgotten the things she bought.She instinctively reached out to take it, but Leandro gave her a disdainful look and said, "Are you afraid I'll break it?"She looked embarrassed and said, "No."Leandro laughed and asked, "What did you buy?"This was the second time he asked her this question.Just now in the car, Charlotte couldn't answer the question. Now at home, she simply pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you a little gift."After saying that, she added somewhat embarrassedly, "It's really just a small gift."After all, she couldn't afford the big gift.Leandro raised an eyebrow and said, "This one?"He had two bags in his hands, both of them were about the same size. In addition, there was a necklace that Charlotte liked, it wasn't exp
Charlotte blinked her eyes, knowing that Leandro had misunderstood, but upon hearing his words, a warm feeling enveloped her heart.She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked at the fruit tea in her hand. "Do you still want to drink it?"Just as the green light in front turned red, the car couldn't pass. Leandro slowly stopped the car and said, "Damn it."This time, without him saying a word, Charlotte took the initiative to hand the straw to his lips.As he was drinking, she finally spoke up and explained, "Actually, I wasn't worried that she would lure you away -"The words "hook up" are a bit difficult to mention. Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing, "I have been dealing with Lydia for so many years, so I know her quite well. If it really was her, then she must have come after me.""But it didn't really matter that she was coming towards me, because she couldn't really do anything anyway."In the past years, Lydi
Charlotte had just replied to Elizabeth's message when Leandro's message popped up.Leandro: I arrived.Charlotte caught sight of this message and instinctively looked up.The black Bentley was parked on the side of the road, and Charlotte saw it at a glance.She took her phone, grabbed the bag, and ran over.Today the weather was a bit hot, and when Charlotte ran to the car, sweat broke out on her forehead.Leandro took the shopping bag from her hands, placed it on the back seat, watched her get into the car, and then closed the car door for her before returning to the driver's seat."Why are you in such a hurry? I can't run, you know?"Charlotte had just fastened her seatbelt when she heard his words and felt a bit awkward: "It's easy to get a parking ticket here."Leandro slightly curled his lips and said, "It's fine to give Mrs. Romero a ticket."Charlotte listened to his words and felt as if something gently
Over the weekend, there was some traffic congestion on the Global side, and Elizabeth's taxi was still about two kilometers away.Leandro also said it would take another half an hour to arrive, allowing Charlotte to wander around a bit more.Elizabeth saw Charlotte finish the call and raised an eyebrow, "Lottie, Mr. Romero didn't come so quickly, did he?"Charlotte nodded, "It would take about half an hour to come over.""Should we buy a cup of latte to drink?"Charlotte thought for a moment, "Alright."It is better to not stand here foolishly.The crowd here today was really big, and there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the latte shop.Charlotte ordered a cup of fruit tea milkshake, the receipt came out, and there were seventeen people in front.Fortunately, the staff at the latte shop were quite efficient. After waiting for about ten minutes, there were only seven people left.Elizabeth looke
