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.
The act of offending people while drunk, indeed made one feel embarrassed when sober.Charlotte, fearing Leandro would settle scores later, quickly changed the subject: "...Mr. Romero, are you going back to the company later?""Mm-hmm."He responded with a sound, his emotions unreadable.Charlotte bit into the sandwich, finding it tasteless in her mouth.He had almost finished eating, took a sip of his American coffee, glanced at her, and asked, "Do you have plans today?""No."My leg was still lame, what could have been arranged?"I came back for lunch at noon."Charlotte was pondering the meaning behind Leandro's words. Could he be asking her to make lunch?She looked at Leandro, tentatively asking, "Should I make lunch and wait for your return?"As soon as these words were spoken, Charlotte's ears turned red instantly.Why did this statement sound so much like something a wife would say to her hus
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Charlotte stiffened for half a second before she shakily put away her powder puff, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Romero. This is setting powder, it's not poisonous. I, I'll clean it up for you!"She didn't do it on purpose!Charlotte had been wiping for a while before she realized there were no tissues on the table.She averted her gaze, meeting those dark pupils, not caring about tissues or no tissues, she directly used her hand to brush off the loose powder on those thin lips.To speak or not to speak, Leandro's lips were quite soft. Kissing them would probably be very comfortable, right?Realizing what she was thinking, Charlotte's ears suddenly turned bright red, the color spreading to her cheeks.It seemed as if Charlotte's fingertips had suddenly caught fire, and she was having a bit of trouble continuing.Leandro was no better off than her. The soft fingertips brushed past his lips, yet that person
After Leandro went to the company, Charlotte had intended to practice the piano, but when she thought of the "stupid things" she had done, she found it hard to calm down.She picked up her phone, hesitated for a long time, but still sent a message to Elizabeth."Liz, are you up yet? [Doggy_cowering.JPG]."True to her reputation as the fastest replier, Elizabeth had barely sent her message when she received a reply within a second: "Waking up so early on a beautiful weekend, something's not right with you, Lottie!"Charlotte was very guilty, "No, I went to bed early last night.""Tsk, did Lottie have to send me dog food so early in the morning?""? It seemed like I didn't say anything...""You didn't have to say anything, I understood!"Charlotte touched her ear, remembering that she had "serious business" with Elizabeth, and quickly stopped this inappropriate topic direction: "Liz, you said last time that I like to hug people w
Seeing Charlotte's embarrassment, Joyce remarked, "This villa is really big."Charlotte quickly nodded, "It is a bit big. You can familiarize yourself first, and you can ask me if you have any questions."Although she didn't quite understand either.Joyce glanced at the refrigerator, finding it full of fresh vegetables. "Madam, is Mr. Romero coming home for lunch today? Is there anything you would like to eat?""Leandro was supposed to come back for dinner today."Saying this, Charlotte blinked, "Does Auntie know how to make pine nut fish? I haven't made pine nut fish in a long time."Joyce saw her bright and adorable almond eyes, and his fondness for Charlotte increased: "Yes, I will make it for you if you like it. I'll do it for you this afternoon.""Thank you, Joyce. I don't have anything specific in mind for now, just make whatever you think is best!"Charlotte was not a picky eater."Alright, what about Mr. Romero t
Charlotte smirked, stepped aside, and followed the fuming Marissa into the villa.Marissa had come specifically to see Charlotte today and had also deliberately come when Leandro was not around.Just now at the door, she had thought Charlotte was a fool, but every word from the other party was laced with barbs.Marissa was extremely upset and started ordering Charlotte to serve her tea as soon as she sat down.Charlotte immediately grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the fridge and placed it in front of Marissa: "Don't be shy, there's plenty of water."Marissa looked at Charlotte and slammed the table directly, "Do you even understand what hospitality means?""I understood, but you were not my guest."Charlotte hooked her lips, her almond eyes curved, smiling with a face full of sweetness.Marissa had realized that Charlotte never really cared about her at all.Given that, she didn't want to waste any more time: "Ms.
Meanwhile, on the 25th floor of the Splendid Group building.Melvin saw Leandro coming out of the conference room and hurriedly approached him: "Mr. Romero--"Leandro glanced at him, signaling him to continue.Melvin's gaze fell on the red mark on the left side of Leandro's neck, causing him to pause for a moment.It seemed as if he had discovered something extraordinary...But how come he didn't notice this red mark in the morning?"Melvin?"A deep male voice sounded from the side, Melvin quickly came back to his senses: "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero, I was lost in thought."Leandro glanced at him, "What's the matter?""It seemed that Ms. Kemp had gone to find her wife."Hearing Melvin's words, the dark pupils noticeably sank. Leandro looked at Melvin, "I understand."After speaking, he went straight to the elevator.Melvin thought he was going back to the CEO's office, and subconsciously pressed the butto
Leandro's hand had already loosened the second button, the dark red scratch marks on his alabaster-like skin appeared particularly conspicuous.Charlotte averted her gaze, trying hard to force herself not to care about this "detail". But the thought of Leandro's scratch being exposed, and that she was the culprit behind it, made it impossible for her to ignore.When Leandro was unbuttoning the second button, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Romero, didn't you cover the scratch on your neck this morning?"Leandro glanced down at the scratch on his left neck, lifting his eyes nonchalantly, "Sweated this morning, it's smudged.""Was it blurred?"The concealer she used was both waterproof and sweatproof, the foundation she applied afterward was also waterproof and sweatproof, and finally, the setting makeup was also waterproof and sweatproof!It was burnt!To be honest, Charlotte was a bit skeptical.At that moment, the man
Too close!Charlotte stiffened completely. Just as she was about to turn her face away, Leandro, who had originally been facing her sideways, suddenly moved his face.She hadn't yet registered what had happened, only feeling a slight softness on her lips as they brushed against the man's cheek.Even though it was just a fleeting touch, it was enough to leave Charlotte disoriented.Was this something she could do?Her ears and face turned red almost instantly. Leandro glanced down at her, "Are you going to pick up your phone?""Picked up."The expression on the other person's face didn't change at all, as if nothing had happened.Charlotte also tried hard to ignore her slightly too fast heartbeat, waiting for Leandro to let her go.But Leandro didn't let her go, instead, he squatted down while still holding her.The man's lower body strength was astonishingly good, he held her and squatted without shaking at all.
Charlotte just cried, her tears dried up, feeling a bit uncomfortable on her face.Now Greyson woke up and lay on the hospital bed, staring at her.She didn't think she looked good, so she found an excuse to say she needed to go to the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom to wash her face.Cold water splashed onto her face, and this time, she was incredibly grateful.Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte closed her eyes and calmed down. She then opened her eyes again, and the redness in her eyes had already faded a lot.She smiled at herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and saw Leandro, who had come back with oatmeal. He was chatting with Greyson, and she walked over to Leandro's side.Greyson was not feeling well and would wake up for half an hour before falling asleep again.Orion had to stay overnight and was unwilling to go back to the Bernard's villa.
Leandro said and then turned around and left the ward. Inside the ward, there were Orion and Charlotte, along with Greyson who was still unconscious lying on the bed.Charlotte looked at Greyson lying on the hospital bed, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if, after the doors of the emergency room opened, the doctor had told her that he hadn't been saved. She would have been devastated.Her mother passed away when she was too young to remember, and Greyson raised her single-handedly.When she was very young, she had asked Greyson countless times why other children had mothers, but she didn't.Greyson would always tell her that because her mother had gone to heaven early, she would help buy her favorite toys and when she goes there in the future, she can have a house full of beloved toys.She later grew up a bit and then she found out that her mother was no longer in this world.She gradually stopped asking about her mother, bu
Charlotte had actually calmed down a lot, it was just because of fear that her fingers became cold.Leandro's warm palm conveyed strength, making her less overwhelmed.The hospital at night is much quieter than during the day, except for the emergency department, all other departments have already closed.Greyson was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, and Leandro immediately knew that he was being treated in the emergency room.He led Charlotte towards the emergency room, following the nurse's instructions just now.The two of them had not reached the entrance of the emergency room when Charlotte saw the butler Orion.Greyson suddenly fainted, and it was Jaylen at home who first noticed.Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and immediately called an ambulance. Greyson was quickly taken to Cliff Hospital for treatment."Orion.""Ms. Bernard, Mr. Romero."Orion saw Charlotte, which could be considered finding the
The man's kiss initially only stayed on her lips, but slowly he became unsatisfied with just the lips.Charlotte felt hot all over her body, and the itchiness spread from her lips down her neck, finally invading her chest.In the room, almost all there was the sound of her and Leandro's breathing.Leandro kissed her and asked in a low, husky voice, "Mrs. Romero, would you like to do something you love?"The voice was deep and sexy, like a grain of sand falling into her heart, grinding her to the point of unbearable.She was like a fish pulled ashore, lacking water and oxygen. The instinct to survive made her open her mouth to breathe, and her mind was all jumbled up, unable to think at all.The unbearable pain in her body made her unable to help but hum, and this sound directly broke Leandro's last sanity.He had been enduring since the afternoon, and couldn't bear it any longer.The air conditioning in the room was turned up h
Charlotte was feeling flustered after being caught by the head teacher for reading a novel in class. In her panic, she loosened her grip and her phone fell directly onto the bedsheet.She instinctively picked up her phone, then exited the reading app and switched back to the home screen. Only then did she nervously glance at the person beside her and said, "Reading a novel.""Reading novels on a mobile phone is not good for the eyes, so I asked Melvin to prepare a Kindle."Charlotte was taken aback and reluctantly nodded, "Okay."Leandro looked at her and asked, "What novel is it? Is it good?""The romance novel that Liz sent me was just average, not very interesting, just to pass the time."I'm sorry, author. I lied, it was very good!Charlotte said, and she grabbed the thin blanket beside her.She really didn't know how to lie.Obviously, Leandro also noticed her little gesture: "Are you so engrossed that Mrs. Romero t
Charlotte couldn't contain the curve of her lips on her way back, as she had just obtained a necklace worth over three million.On the way home, she was constantly immersed in the joy of Leandro not giving Hanna face, and she forgot that she had blushed before leaving because of the question of "whether to go out or not."When Charlotte returned to the villa and was taking off her earrings, she suddenly remembered this question.My heart started beating faster inexplicably.Charlotte put away the removed earring and glanced at her own cheek in the mirror.Blushed.Ah, Charlotte, you became bad!What are you thinking about all day long now?She raised her hand and patted her own face. Just as she turned around, she saw Leandro coming in.Charlotte felt very guilty, watching him approach with water in his hands, her heart beating faster and faster with each passing moment.Seeing him hand over the water cup, she reached out and took it, lowering her head to drink the water, while shifti
"It's not necessary to work so hard. If Mrs. Romero is willing to use my supplementary card, I think I would be very happy."Charlotte also remembered the card he gave her and felt a bit embarrassed, "It's different."What's different is that we were a legally married couple, and half of the money I earned belonged to you.Charlotte couldn't dare to imagine that half of his money belonged to her, Leandro's wealth, which she could never achieve in her entire life of struggle.Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of him.After all, she wanted to maintain her pride and couldn't ignore Leandro's feelings.Charlotte glanced at him and said, "The money to buy you a gift should at least be earned by me, right?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro felt as if his heart was enveloped in warm water.Soft and swollen.Hmm, Mrs. Romero is quite good at coaxing people.The two of them walked to the car. Leandro opened the passenger door and held his hand on the roof to protect it. After Charlotte
Charlotte pursed her lips and looked hesitant, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Norton, but this is the first gift Leandro ever brought me to the auction house. It holds a special meaning for me, so I can't let it go.""Moreover, this necklace was not the best, and I believe Mrs. Norton deserves something better. Ms. Norton, you might consider communicating with the auctioneer of 'the Bridge of Love,' I believe that necklace would be more to your mother's liking."Charlotte immediately handed back the words she had just said to Hanna. Unable to refute, Hanna's face turned slightly sour and she said, "I was being unreasonable."Leandro replied in a low voice, "Since you knew it would be difficult for a strong person, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place."This statement directly pierced Hanna's heart, causing her already unattractive face to turn pale.Hanna bit her teeth, glanced at Leandro, and then looked at Charlotte. "I'm sorry, I did indeed overstep."She said it and turned
Leandro had just swiped his card when Charlotte immediately grabbed his arm.A soft and gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and her breath blew straight onto his face, causing a tingling sensation and making his chest slightly itchy.His black eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his head and looked at Charlotte in front of him. He raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist.Hanna walked up to the two of them, her gaze falling on Leandro's hand, but quickly withdrew it: "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero."After Elizabeth exposed her use of the names "Ms. Bernard" and Lance for Leandro and Charlotte last time, this time, Hanna didn't dare to call them "Ms. Bernard" and Lance anymore."Ms. Norton."Charlotte politely responded.Leandro glanced at Hanna lightly and asked, "What's up?"Hanna, this person, used to come over for no reason.Leandro's patience had long run out when she was talking nonsense to Charlotte back then.Hanna was still being treated by Leandro in this way for the f
