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.
"Hiss--"The intense pain forced tears from Charlotte's eyes before she could react, her cheek was suddenly pinched. Leandro had stood up at some point, his right hand gripping her cheek."First, spit out the ribs."Only then did Charlotte realize, and quickly spat out the ribs.The hand that had been pinching her cheek was withdrawn, and Leandro handed her a cup of warm water, "Where did you bite?""Tongue.""What were you thinking about so seriously?"She took a sip of water, retracted her tongue, and subconsciously responded, "A matter of a hundred million."As soon as the words were spoken, Charlotte was stunned.She's really not usually like this, she must have been blinded by that one hundred million today.She glanced at Leandro across from her, "That's not what I meant."He slightly lifted his gaze, took a glance, and said in a soft voice, "Understood, let's eat first.""Alright."Afte
Leandro and Charlotte were the only ones left in the living room.Charlotte felt guilty, and she didn't dare to look into Leandro's face.She hadn't figured out how to start the conversation when she heard the other person ask her, "Are you close with the aunt?""Not familiar."Leandro didn't speak, he sat down to the side, giving her a meaningful glance.Charlotte quickly pushed the watermelon and grapes over in a pleasing manner: "Eat the watermelon, it's very sweet."Leandro looked at Charlotte, who was trying hard to sell him watermelons. A hint of amusement flashed in his dark eyes, but in an instant, he returned to his usual cold demeanor: "I don't like sweet things."Of course, except for the "rabbit".Charlotte: "?"Could she repeat that this watermelon isn't that sweet?Charlotte took a bite of watermelon and suddenly realized a blind spot, "Mr. Romero, may I ask you a presumptuous question?"Leand
Just when Charlotte thought the male fairy wouldn't respond to her question, he spoke nonchalantly, "You're right, I'll have Melvin sort it out and give you the information later."Couldn't we just talk about it now?Was it necessary to be so serious?Of course, Charlotte didn't dare to say this."...Alright."She nodded with a smile, looking at the watermelon and grapes in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she picked them up: "I'm going to the piano room to practice."Having eaten a bit too much, she needed to burn off some calories.Leandro's gaze swept over the plate of watermelon in her hand, only giving a slight nod.Charlotte, fearing that he would come to hug her again, hurried to the stairs and, grabbing the handrail, headed upstairs.Mr. Romero was too enthusiastic. She was a bit overwhelmed.Leandro stared at the figure on the stairs until his phone rang, only then did he look away.Seei
Charlotte had practiced the piano for two hours, her hands were a bit sore. She picked up her phone, intending to surf the internet and see what new trends were happening online recently.Just as she picked up her phone, Charlotte noticed that she had received a text message about her bank card:"Your card ending in 9987 received an income of 100000000.00 from Industrial and Commercial Bank on July 10th (transferred from another bank), the other party's account name is..."Ah!Was she dreaming?Charlotte's hand was trembling as she held her phone, it took her several attempts to successfully take a screenshot. It took her even more attempts to hit "send" when she was trying to send the screenshot to Elizabeth.Charlotte: Liz, quickly help me check, is this one hundred million?Elizabeth: Did Leandro transfer a billion to you? [ShockedFace.JPG]Elizabeth: Zero is too many, wait a moment, let me count again!Elizabeth: I'v
Fortunately, Leandro didn't say anything, he just picked up that high-heeled cup and finished the sip of red wine inside.Others drank red wine as if they were drinking red wine, but Leandro drank red wine as if he wasn't drinking red wine.As for what it specifically was, Charlotte couldn't come up with a similar description. If she had to express it vividly, it would probably be that while others drank red wine like monkeys on Mount Violetrock drinking water, Leandro drank red like a golden-snub-nosed monkey drinking water.To put it bluntly, the elegance of the nobility was all there."Is there something wrong?"He had poured nearly half a glass of wine, gently swaying it as he looked up at her.Charlotte quickly placed her phone in front of him: "I just received a billion in my account."Almost forgot the main thing!Leandro's gaze faltered slightly, "Is there a problem?""Did you turn?""Didn't you want to ge
After washing her face, she also calmed down. After calming down, she was still quite scared.Will she be fired from the company that her left foot entered first tomorrow?Upon further consideration, if she was fired, then she was fired. She is not just a decorative vase without any abilities. She would still thrive if she switched companies.But the company had good benefits, the colleagues were nice, and the department head was just a bit nagging, but had a good heart...She had a complex mood, feeling a little excited and a little scared.After venting, Elizabeth felt too embarrassed to go back. She glanced at her colleague and said, "I'm going home, please let the minister know for me."This thing was quite messed up tonight. Elizabeth's colleague didn't know what to say: "Alright, just let me know when you get home."Elizabeth nodded her head absentmindedly and left the bathroom in a daze.She didn't notice someone in fron
Charlotte realized about Marco's birthday only after she had taken a shower. Compared to the return of her uncle and aunt, Leandro's father's birthday was more imminent.More than three months had passed, and she recalled the last time she met Marco. Until now, Charlotte still felt embarrassed.She used to be a true warrior, whatever Marco said, she would confront it.However, she had never thought about getting involved with Leandro for real at that time, so she naturally wouldn't prefer to be wronged and still put on a good face for his father and stepmother.Now, she is fine. She went from being Mrs. Romero in the contract to being the real Mrs. Romero.Charlotte glanced towards the bathroom and instinctively grabbed her phone to find Elizabeth: "Liz, Liz! Leandro's father's birthday is next week, what should I do? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent!"Elizabeth also didn't know where she went, and rarely did not reply to her messages i
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, and if Greyson hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Marcus.When the news of Marcus eloping broke out, her uncle and aunt were furious and said they would bring back her eldest cousin to help her deal with the situation.Charlotte didn't want her two cousins to get involved in all this mess, and she almost tried everything to convince her aunt and uncle to let her handle it herself.Back then, they were in Havigsaq, out of reach. She playfully and cutely assured that she could handle it, and they had no choice but to nod and agree.Now that they are coming back, they naturally want to hold the Gallagher family accountable.Just this bad debt, it wasn't so easy to calculate.Charlotte was puzzled: "It shouldn't, right?"Greyson looked at her and said, "Your uncle and aunt doted on you a lot, and you know it."Charlotte thought about her aunt's personality and also kne
Charlotte drove to the hospital after she finished breakfast.The hospital was crowded during the day, and she had a hard time finding a parking space for her car.The ward that Greyson moved into yesterday was still empty, with only him inside.When Charlotte entered, Jaylen brought soup over and upon seeing her, said, "Ms. Bernard."Jaylen hadn't seen Charlotte for a while, and couldn't help but look at her. He saw that she looked good and hadn't lost weight, so he asked her with relief if she wanted to have some soup.Charlotte had just finished breakfast and couldn't drink the soup at that time. "No need, Jaylen."Seeing her coming, both Jaylen and Orion tactfully found excuses to leave the ward, leaving the space for the father and daughter.Charlotte looked at Greyson on the sickbed and thought about her dream from last night, and her chest started to feel tight again.She walked over to the chair next to the hospital bed
Leandro held her with one hand and looked down at her, asking, "Are you tired?"She was almost always standing in the hospital.Charlotte shook her head, "Not tired."Saying that, he yawned.She was a little embarrassed and said, "I was just a little tired."I was indeed tired.Charlotte used to go to bed around 10 o'clock at night, playing on her phone for a while. She would usually fall asleep before 10:30.At this time, it was already one thirty in the morning.Leandro put the car keys into his pocket and then bent down to pick her up.Charlotte was startled for a moment, then quickly hooked her arm around his neck.Leandro held her and quickly went upstairs to the master bedroom.The bedsheet on the bed was messy, revealing the battle before the two people left.Charlotte was put on the bed, her face was a little hot.Leandro took off his watch, lowered his head and kissed her: "Change int
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
