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
Leandro quickly returned with a black card. Charlotte immediately logged into the mobile banking app on her phone and filled out all the information, only to be told in the end that for large transfers, she had to personally go to the counter to operate.Charlotte glanced at Leandro, "Large transfers need to be done at the counter, can I take a picture?""Take the card, the password is my birthday. Use it to book formal wear for parties, and you can also use it when shopping with friends."So, this card was exclusively for her use in the future, right?Then what was the significance of her transferring one hundred million into this card?"There were quite a few occasions I had to attend and quite a few formal suits you needed to order. This is what you should have taken."He glanced at her and added another sentence.What he said made sense, but Charlotte found herself unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.Leandro had said
The sunlight was behind him, and as Leandro walked in, his face also stepped into the slightly darker shadows of the room."Good afternoon, Mr. Romero."The entrance hall of the villa had been treated with transparency. Just now, Leandro had walked in from there, the sunlight hitting his face. Although his brows and eyes were cold, they didn't feel gloomy.But as he walked through the foyer and into the room towards her, the slightly dim light seemed to make him suddenly feel colder.The person walked in, and the coldness in his eyes and brows lessened considerably.Charlotte only felt a flash before her eyes, and then saw a stack of documents placed in front of her: "Melvin organized it, my hobbies and some things to avoid."Charlotte paused for a moment, recalling the conversation at noon, and quickly reached out to take it: "Oh, oh, oh."When she got hold of that stack of documents, Charlotte was somewhat incredulous.Did Le
When Leandro casually mentioned the pool to her just now, Charlotte thought it was right outside the restaurant. However, when she stepped out, she was met with a large lawn covered with golf equipment.There was no swimming pool here either!However, there was still a cobblestone path on the left side, and the right side led to the main gate. Charlotte guessed that the pool should be on the left.She had walked along that path for a while, past a cluster of flowers, before she saw the swimming pool Leandro had mentioned.The swimming pool was open-air, with coconut trees planted on both sides, four in a row. Under the trees, there were sun umbrellas and sun loungers. Near the side of the villa, there was a small room, inside which was a long table with a wooden color and white cushions, along with matching benches.When Charlotte walked past, Leandro was swimming in the pool.Under the sunlight, the man's robust figure was attractive, with
"What was the problem?"Leandro had finished reading, he lifted his head and glanced at Charlotte.Charlotte was utterly baffled, looking at his calm demeanor, she even started to doubt if she was the one who had a problem.She raised her hand and pointed at the content on the paper, "After reading this entire page, don't you think you can summarize the content in one sentence?""Hmm?""You hated women."The man's gaze moved from her face to her index finger pressing on the paper, finally resting on the paper itself: "I don't hate women."Who would believe this...Charlotte was complaining inwardly, but she could only wear a smile on her face, pretending to be confused: "But, it seems like each one is saying, as long as women don't get close to you, it's fine.""Oh, that might have been a misunderstanding on your part."Leandro stepped back, and the already loose bathrobe instantly opened up on his chest, revealin
"Because you were Mrs. Romero."After a pause, Leandro spoke again.Charlotte's face turned bright red. She was embarrassed to admit that she had just accidentally indulged in a bit of narcissism."Next time, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask directly. There's no need to keep guessing on your own."After speaking, he lifted his leg and left.Charlotte watched his retreating figure, propping her chin, gazing at the orange-red sunset in the distance, falling into a new confusion.Was Leandro angry again?How did I offend him?Was this man a bit too quick to anger?Of course, these questions were destined to have no answers.Whether Leandro was angry or not that day, Charlotte could never get a definitive answer.Living with Leandro wasn't as terrible as Charlotte had imagined, and she also understood why the Splendid Group was able to reach new heights under Leandro's leadership.When
There were quite a few dresses in the wardrobe that Charlotte usually felt embarrassed to touch, after all, each one of them looked expensive.Charlotte had chosen a white, waist-cinching midi dress with three-quarter sleeves. The dress was a new summer release from Brand A, featuring a faux belt design around the waist. The belt was adorned with floating camellia embroidery, making her waist look even smaller and more delicate.The hem of the skirt only reached the ankles, embroidered with gold thread. Besides one layer of lining, there were two more layers on the outside of the skirt. The gold thread on the outermost layer and the hem of the second layer were arranged in a pleasing manner. When the skirt fluttered, it seemed like a blooming golden rose.The round collar design of the upper garment made Charlotte's neck look slender.She also picked out a diamond pendant necklace from her jewelry box. The diamond embedded in the pendant was not very larg
Leandro was amused by her determined and eager appearance, "I haven't unbuckled my seatbelt yet.""Ah? Oh, then I helped you solve it!"Charlotte blushed, loosened her grip, and bent over to fasten the seatbelt.With a click, the seatbelt released from Leandro's body and retracted.She straightened up and pulled him back: "We flipped in from the side."Upon hearing her words, Leandro's eyebrows twitched, "Mrs. Romero seems familiar."Charlotte glanced at him guiltily and said, "I guessed."In fact, during her student days, Elizabeth used to come to the cemetery when she was being bullied by her stepmother.At first, she didn't know that Elizabeth had come over here until one night when she had a fight with her dad and ran away. Charlotte looked for her in many places but couldn't find her. She was getting desperate and was about to call the police when she suddenly remembered West Cemetery.So she asked Greyson to bring
Charlotte was being led by Leandro towards the exit. Just before they reached the hall, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it a bit impolite for us to leave like this?"Marco didn't like her, but basic courtesy and manners were still necessary.Anyway, he was Leandro's biological father, that's just an undeniable fact.Upon hearing her words, Leandro paused and looked at her with a faint smile, "Mrs. Romero is right, it was indeed a bit impolite."He said, holding her hand, they changed direction and walked towards Marco standing on the side of the stage.Marco was already angry, but his face improved slightly when he saw Leandro turning back.To my surprise, Leandro spoke up and said, "Dad, we have something to do, so we're leaving first."Charlotte quickly spoke up, "Sir Romero, we are leaving now."Marco's face, which had just brightened up, now looked unpleasant again. "Since you're so busy, don't come next time."He sai
She just raised her hand and touched her earlobe, and suddenly felt a rush of heat, followed by Leandro's deep voice sounding in her ear, "I also like Mrs. Romero."Charlotte's ears were originally just turning red, but upon hearing her words, both of her ears turned red, and her face became even hotter.Although she has become much thicker-skinned now, when Leandro said such things to her in public, she still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.Not far away, Marco had already taken the stage.Charlotte looked at it, but her attention was not there at all.Leandro leaned in close, his breath hitting her neck, hot and ticklish. Her mind was buzzing with warmth, with only his words from a moment ago.Because of Leandro's words, she didn't hear what Daisy said to her.After Daisy finished speaking, she went to find Carlo with Diana. It was only then that Charlotte came to her senses and waved her hand gently at her.The l
Charlotte met Daisy's parents today and only then did she find out that Daisy's personality of liking to give things to people is similar to someone's.After Carlo left with the acquaintance from the mall, there were only Diana, Daisy, and her left here.Charlotte had been thinking about whether she would delay Mr. and Mrs. Clements and their acquaintances in greeting, but she didn't expect that as soon as Carlo left, Diana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, he's gone. Having a big man like him here really affects us!"Daisy hummed and nodded, "Exactly, Dad also likes to say empty words. Just now, Lottie could barely keep up with the conversation."Diana took Charlotte's hand and said, "Ms. Bernard, Daisy calls you Lottie. Do you mind if I also call you Lottie? You don't have to pay attention to what Daisy's dad said. He's just been in the business world for too long and likes to put on airs."Charlotte frowned and said, "It's okay, Dian
Daisy gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Green tea man!"How did she not know that Leandro was so two-faced before?Charlotte didn't hear what Daisy said clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, what did you just say?"Daisy naturally didn't want Charlotte to focus her attention on Leandro again. "It's nothing, I'll take you to meet my parents! They would be very happy to see you!"Charlotte didn't refuse either, Daisy remembers the events from five years ago until now, which shows that she is a grateful person.The parents who could raise a grateful daughter like Daisy must have been good.Moreover, Daisy mentioned her already, so there's no better time than the present. Let's meet today, which can also fulfill their wishes."Okay."Charlotte smiled with a curved lip and followed Daisy forward.Along the way, many people looked at them, harboring jealousy towards Daisy's and Charlotte's attitudes.Th
With Daisy's words, Charlotte also started to remember a little.She had forgotten all about it, it was too long ago.After the competition that day, they could have left after the award ceremony, but the organizers suddenly asked them to record a performance video.She was the first one, so the performance video was recorded first.After finishing the recording, she was ready to leave. If she didn't leave soon, her mask would be taken off by someone.But it was quite a coincidence that day, Karissa said she wanted to film a short clip of herself, so she drove her motorboat to the other side to record the video.Just as she finished recording, she was about to leave when she heard someone shouting from the shore.It was already sunset at that time, and it was too far away for her to see clearly. However, following the direction that people on the shore were staring at, she did see a person standing on the reef.At this time, th
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an itch on her cheek.Charlotte froze for a moment, her ears turning slightly red.But her gaze shifted to Daisy beside her, who seemed as if nothing had happened, whispering in her ear, "Five years ago, after you finished the Tolujamo competition, you came back and saved someone who got caught in the rising tide and couldn't make it back to shore. Don't you remember?"That night, Daisy really thought that her fate was there. She had never learned how to swim since she was a child, but she had a natural love for the sea.In my sophomore year, my friends and I went to Tolujamo for a trip. We heard that there was a jet ski competition, so out of curiosity, we all went to watch it.After the competition ended, it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. Daisy brought her DSLR camera and climbed onto the outermost rocks to capture the sunset.She was taking the photos seriously and didn't pay attention
Leandro watched as Charlotte walked away before he averted his gaze. He glanced briefly at Marco and then shifted his focus onto Elvis, saying, "Come with me."Elvis felt guilty under Leandro's gaze, "I didn't go, I was busy!"Marissa slapped Elvis on the palm and said, "Go quickly, Leandro wants to talk to you!""Mom!"Are you stupid or something? Does Leandro look like he has something to say to you?He might be in for a punch like this!Of course, Elvis didn't dare to say that.He also knew that his mother was just pretending to be cunning, but in reality, she was just a naive and innocent person."Go quickly!"Marissa urged again.Elvis gritted his teeth and followed Leandro as they walked out of the banquet hall and directly into the rooftop garden on the second floor."Do you have any complaints about me?"Where did Elvis dare to have any objections to Leandro, but he felt annoyed when he heard
Looking at Charlotte and Daisy in front of him, Marco's emotions were very complicated.On one hand, he didn't want to give Charlotte a good face, but on the other hand, he couldn't be cold in front of Daisy.Charlotte was quite clever, continuing the conversation after Daisy's words, if he were to leave abruptly, Daisy would definitely ask for an explanation.Marco looked for two seconds, but in the end, he couldn't cool down his face and kindly smiled at Daisy, saying, "You're thoughtful."This birthday was quite miserable.Leandro, who was standing next to Charlotte, finally spoke after hearing his response, "Dad."Marco glanced at Leandro and said, "You do remember that I am your father, don't you?"Marissa was afraid of the father and son arguing, so she quickly pulled on Marco's sleeve and said, "Marco, it's such a beautiful day, why are you saying these things?"Marissa said, her gaze falling on Daisy, shifting the topic
