In the end, he still couldn't bear it. After just a light taste, Leandro restrained himself.
He exhausted his strength, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing slowly.
However, the sweet fragrance around me kept hitting my nose from time to time, sweet yet torturous.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Charlotte, who was holding him and laughed helplessly.
The alcohol tolerance was poor, but the courage to drink was quite high.
Charlotte had a dream, in which she was a rabbit, suddenly kissed by a sheep that was eating grass.
The sheep looked at her apologetically and even gave up its grass for her to eat.
Just as Charlotte thought this was a polite gentleman sheep, the sheep suddenly stood up and ripped itself open, and then she saw a wolf crawl out from the sheepskin, staring at her with red glowing eyes.
Charlotte had just prepared to run when she was suddenly pinned down by a wolf. The wolf hooked its p
However, it didn't take long for Charlotte to lose her laughter.After taking a bath, she gradually remembered the events of last night.Elizabeth was right, she wasn't fit to go out when she was drunk.Thinking about how she clung to Leandro asking for a hug last night, Charlotte hid under the blanket, not wanting to see anyone at all.Leandro had changed his clothes and waited in the restaurant for quite a while, but Charlotte didn't show up. He got up and walked straight to Charlotte's room, knocking on the door, "Ms. Bernard?"Didn't respond.Charlotte heard a knock at the door, her whole body tensed up. She clutched the blanket tightly and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Leandro waited a few seconds, then directly placed his hand on the doorknob.The door wasn't shut tightly. He turned the doorknob and the door opened.Leandro pushed open the door and immediately saw the lump hidden under the blanket.
"Your wedding won't go smoothly! I'll let you know Marcus only loves me, and you're just a loser!"After Charlotte Bernard read this text, her face darkened.Today was her wedding with Marcus Gallagher; and the text was from Marcus' childhood sweetheart, Lydia Wagner.Charlotte took a deep breath before turning off her phone.For this wedding, the Bernard family and the Gallagher family invited every influential figure in Aelmere. While Charlotte told herself that Marcus wouldn't do anything stupid on such an occasion, she still felt a bit worried.Meantime, the host on the stage announced the entrance of the groom. "Next, please give your warmest welcome to our handsome groom, Mr. Marcus Gallagher!"As the host's voice trailed off, the banquet hall broke out into a round of thunderous applause.However, a few seconds had passed, and the groom, who should get on the stage, was still nowhere to be found.Whispers circulated among the crowd. The host smiled calmly to make light of the "
Charlotte was severely injured. She was sent to the hospital and underwent an emergency operation for eight hours.But even so, Charlotte was still not out of the woods yet. If she didn't wake up in the next 48 hours, she would never be able to in the future.When Greyson heard this, he almost fainted.Greyson's wife passed away a long time ago, so his baby girl, Charlotte, meant the whole world to him. It was supposed to be Charlotte's big day today, but Marcus ruined it by deserting Charlotte at the wedding.Looking at the Gallaghers, Greyson flew into a rage. "Get lost! All of you, get the hell out of here!"After Greyson drove away the Gallaghers, there was only Charlotte, and her best friend, Elizabeth Buck, in the ward.As Charlotte's bridesmaid, Elizabeth was on standby in the banquet hall the whole time. When Elizabeth realized something was wrong, Charlotte was already carried into an ambulance.Elizabeth couldn't understand how such a joyful wedding turned into an awful disa
When Melvin and Elizabeth reached Charlotte's ward, they happened to see Leandro walk out.Seeing that Leandro was leaving, Melvin immediately followed him.There were a lot of visitors in the hospital at this time, so the elevators were crammed with people.Melvin didn't get a chance to ask questions until he and Leandro got in the car. "Mr. Romero, did Ms. Bernard tell you what she wanted?"Hearing this question, Leandro opened his eyes, tapped the leather seat with his finger, and said, "She did.""Then what do you need me to get for you?" Melvin asked, feeling a bit glad that Charlotte was a straightforward woman.Then, he heard Leandro speaking in the back seat, "A wedding house."Melvin thought he heard it wrong, and he subconsciously turned his face around, staring at Leandro. "Mr. Romero, did you just say 'a wedding house'?"Meanwhile, Melvin thought, 'I'm not that old to lose my hearing, am I?'"Yes," Leandro confirmed it.Then he closed his eyes again and raised his left han
Charlotte hadn't seen Leandro since he came to discuss the compensation last time.As time passed by, Charlotte slowly realized that she really acted like a jerk the other day.So, when Charlotte saw Leandro again, she was embarrassed and guilt-ridden.On the other hand, Greyson wasn't surprised to see Leandro because Leandro was the culprit of the car accident.But Elizabeth didn't overthink it. She thought Leandro was a nice guy and shouldn't be fully responsible for the accident.After Greyson exchanged pleasantries with Leandro, he went to sign the hospital discharge papers, while Elizabeth took Charlotte's medical card to print the test results, leaving Leandro and Charlotte alone in the ward.As it still needed time for Charlotte's broken calf bone to heal, she was confined to a wheelchair now.Leandro was very tall, and Charlotte had to raise her head to meet his eyes. "Mr. Romero, about the compensation...""I've thought it through," Leandro interrupted her.He then suddenly c
"Charlotte!" Marcus's face darkened. "Why did you do that to Lydia? She's sick! That's not something she can control!"Lydia, teary-eyed, pulled Marcus's arm and mumbled, "Marcus, don't blame Lottie. I deserved it. Because of me, your wedding was canceled. It's all my fault!"Charlotte couldn't be bothered to watch Lydia act, so she hopped away.Elizabeth blew a raspberry at Lydia and Marcus and hissed sarcastically, "Yeah. It's not your fault. You never make any mistake! You're just feeling blue, and the whole world has to make way for you! We get it!"With that, Elizabeth directly turned around and followed Charlotte.Marcus wanted to catch up with them, but he controlled his urge after he saw Lydia's current state."Marcus, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know it's all my fault!"Hearing Lydia keep saying sorry, Marcus began to take umbrage against Charlotte. He said to Lydia, "No. It's not your fault! She's way over the line!"And he told himself in his heart, 'Lydia didn't want to be
Charlotte realized she had mistaken for the wrong person and whispered embarrassedly, "Mr. Romero?""I'm outside your villa, Ms. Bernard," Leandro said.Hearing this, Charlotte hurriedly pushed the wheelchair near the window and saw a Bentley downstairs."Mr. Romero, what brought you here?" she asked.Due to her leg problem, Charlotte could only ask over the phone instead of going downstairs.But as soon as she finished her words, she remembered what Leandro was here for.Leandro realized something too. He paused and said in a flirting tone, "Ms. Bernard, are you playing hard to get?"Charlotte immediately sat straight and hurriedly explained, "No, it's not like that! Mr. Romero, I can explain. It's..."Charlotte was suddenly short of words, thinking, 'Explain what? Am I supposed to tell him that I was just too angry and wanted to piss Marcus off at that time? No, I can't do that! Well. I don't know what Leandro is planning, but I can tell he really wants to compensate me. So, Charlot
Charlotte hurriedly took back her hands and clenched her fists. "I'm sorry."Leandro tilted his head and took a look at the index finger that was held by Charlotte just now. Then, he left without saying anything.Charlotte kept thinking of what Leandro said about taking her home in a week. She couldn't even eat well.She felt that Leandro did it on purpose. She forced him to marry her. And now, he began to take revenge on her for her rude and outrageous request for marriage.Charlotte hadn't told Greyson about her marriage with Greyson.When Elizabeth gave her a video call invitation, Charlotte was not in the mood for dinner anymore. She let go of her fork, picked up her phone, and pushed her wheelchair to the sofa."Lottie, did you have dinner?" Elizabeth asked."Just had some, but I didn't have much appetite," Charlotte replied.After a short pause, Charlotte was about to confess to Elizabeth about getting the marriage certificate with Leandro. But before she said anything, Elizabet

In the narrow carriage, Charlotte's unguarded words were heard loud and clear by people in both the front and back seats.Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Larry, who was in the driver's seat, froze for a moment.What kind of harsh words are these, Mrs. Romero?He shouldn't have been here, should he?Shouldn't he have been under the car?Upon hearing Charlotte's words, even Leandro was taken aback for a moment.However, the person involved was completely unaware of the remarkable words she had said. She even began to condemn with righteous words, "This is too much! Under the broad daylight! How could they, how could they do..."At this point, Charlotte finally realized that something was amiss.The drunken Charlotte wasn't completely unconscious, she was just a bit slower than usual.Even if she was slow, she realized at that moment what she had just said.Car shaking?Did she talk about the car shaking in fr
Charlotte's hand was caught, slightly displeased, the drunkenness made her much bolder: "Mr. Romero, could you stop shaking?"She frowned, looking at Leandro who kept swaying in front of her, feeling as if her head was being made dizzy by him.Hearing her words, Leandro knew Charlotte was drunk.He loosened his grip, "Sit tight."Charlotte withdrew her hands, shifted her body slightly, and placed her hands on her knees, sitting up straight like a kindergartener. Then, with her bright, watery eyes fixed on him, she said, "I'm sitting properly now."Those bright, sparkling eyes were filled with one message: Praise me! Praise me!Leandro looked at the person, his Adam's apple bobbing once, restraint hidden in his deep eyes: "Hmm, very good."He reached out and touched Charlotte's head, his usually cold voice softened, becoming richer, revealing an unnoticeable gentleness.What a pity, Charlotte was a drunkard now.She could
Upon entering the elevator, Charlotte glanced at Leandro, only to find that he was also looking down at her.Her ears turned hot, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the paper bag in her arms.The paper bag was fragile. She grabbed it forcefully, and the crisp sound was very noticeable.In the elevator, it was just her and Leandro. Charlotte, listening to that voice, felt not only her ears were hot, but her entire face was as well."What was given?""Huh?"Hearing the man's voice, she instinctively lifted her head, looking into his dark eyes. The clear contrast between the black and white in his eyes blinked gently, "...Let me see."Charlotte tore open the seal of the bag, pulled up the fold, propped open the mouth of the paper bag, and inside was a box.She took out the box and opened it, only to find a K-gold necklace inside. The design was simple, with a pendant of a mica cat's paw.It was quite cute.
The man's cold voice seemed to be holding back something, causing Charlotte's heart to tremble. Her hands hung by her sides, like a primary school student being punished to stand, daring not to move again.Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Did your foot just touch something?""There was none."She looked up at him, not knowing if it was an illusion, but there was no anger in those dark eyes.Charlotte let out a slight sigh, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero."Leandro pulled aside a wheelchair, "Sit down."The commotion just now was quite significant. If it weren't for Leandro's quick actions, Charlotte would have fallen onto that food cart. That cart had hot soup on it. If Charlotte had fallen onto it, the consequences would have been unthinkable.Moreover, Charlotte's right calf was already in the recovery stage. If she had taken such a fall, there was no telling whether her calf bone might have fractured again. If it had fractured again, wh
Compared to the unpleasantness of Marcus and Angela leaving before their meal even arrived, Charlotte and Leandro were incredibly harmonious.Charlotte even had a few drinks at Leandro's suggestion.Her alcohol tolerance had always been quite poor, she couldn't drink much even if it was red wine.However, eating French cuisine without drinking wine, indeed lacked a bit of flavor.Expensive things, apart from being expensive, were perfect in every other way.Charlotte was very satisfied with this dinner. She only had a few sips of the appetizing white wine but unknowingly finished half a glass of red wine that came with the main course.By the time she realized it, her cheeks were already somewhat red.Leandro across the table had long finished eating. Seeing her look over, he lifted his gaze, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, making his dark pupils appear even more profound. "Are you full?"Charlotte nodded,
Marcus looked at Charlotte, subconsciously wanting to walk over. But as soon as he took a step in Charlotte's direction, he saw Leandro's hand suddenly land on her lips.The man's actions were gentle, and the woman was slightly shy, creating an ambiguous and intimate atmosphere.Marcus only felt a harsh twist in his heart, he wished he could go and take Charlotte away right then.However, all he could do was think, as the current Charlotte wouldn't even spare him a glance.Thinking of this, Marcus only felt a bitterness in his throat.Angela, who was standing nearby, had noticed Marcus watching Charlotte earlier, his expression growing increasingly unpleasant. Now, it seemed like he was about to approach Charlotte. Finally, she couldn't hold back, "Mr. Gallagher, our table is over here."Hearing Angela's voice, Marcus finally shifted his gaze, following Angela to sit down on the other side.Their seats were about seven or eight meters
Charlotte was sitting in a wheelchair, with Leandro pushing it from behind. They had just come out of the elevator, and the one next to it had also opened.The person who came out of the elevator was none other than Marcus.There was another woman beside Marcus, and the woman was not Lydia.Charlotte was quite surprised that Lydia actually didn't get promoted. Her rank was not good enough.She only glanced at the two before averting her gaze, and Leandro didn't even give Marcus a look, pushing the wheelchair straight into the restaurant.Marcus hadn't expected to run into Charlotte here. He hadn't seen Charlotte for several days. Now that he saw her, he instinctively called out, "Lottie!"However, as soon as he finished speaking, Leandro had already pushed Charlotte into the restaurant.Marcus looked a bit upset. He turned back to glance at Angela Beltran, "Ms. Beltran, how about we reschedule for another day?"However, Angela
