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.
"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

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
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
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.
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
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
