Acting, acting, it's all acting!
Charlotte took a slight breath, comforting herself.
Leandro, standing to the side, watched with a fleeting hint of amusement in his dark eyes. However, when his gaze met Marco's, all that was left in his eyes was coldness: "I was indeed worried that she might get lost."
"You--"
Marco gritted his teeth, but in the end, he managed to hold back his outburst.
The grandeur of the Romero family was evident everywhere, even the dining table was clearly not ordinary.
Although the Bernard family didn't have such a background, Charlotte, having been around with her teacher, had seen a bit of the world. She knew that in the Romero's house, even a casually placed decorative vase could be worth millions.
The wealthier the family, the more rules they had. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as saying one couldn't talk while eating, individual manners were still easily noticeable during meals.
Charlotte, afraid
Charlotte was pulled into the car by Leandro by her wrist. After she got into the car, she regretted it.I was impulsive just now. I couldn't help but lash out all at once.It seemed that Leandro's dad was quite upset by her...Thinking of this, Charlotte subconsciously looked towards Leandro who was at her side.The man, contrary to her expectations, was not angry. He looked at her with a faint expression, "Were you scared?"Charlotte shook her head, clicked her tongue against her teeth, and cautiously asked, "Aren't you angry?""Why was I angry?"She pursed her lips, a bit embarrassed, "...I think I might have overdone it, making your dad that angry."The man looked at her, suddenly laughed, and raised his large hand to gently pat her on the head, "Well done.""?"Did she mishear?Seeing the shock on her face, much of the gloom in Leandro's heart dissipated. He didn't explain, but asked, "Did you not eat
Elizabeth had become unreliable, but Charlotte was also not good at comforting people.She didn't have many close friends growing up. Elizabeth had a rough yet delicate personality. When she was in a bad mood, she would sulk for a while and then get over it, leaving no room for Charlotte to intervene.Elizabeth was unreliable, so the only option was to rely on the omnipotent netizens!Charlotte had spent over half an hour browsing various forums and message boards on her phone, finally gaining a bit of wisdom from a highly praised post.After much thought, Charlotte decided that diverting attention was the most reliable strategy.Leandro just happened to have not eaten much all night, so she made some food and comforted his stomach in the process. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!With that thought, Charlotte quickly got up and went downstairs to cook noodles.Why cook noodles?No way, she couldn't handle her comp
As Charlotte picked up the phone, she mouthed the question, "Should I leave?"She also saw it just now. It seemed like the call was from Leandro's dad.It was obvious, even without thinking, that the call was to berate Leandro, and she, the "culprit", Charlotte felt she should avoid it.Leandro had only glanced at her once, and as she was about to stand up, he leaned slightly and held her wrist.A large palm held her wrist, not with great force, but as the palm rested on her wrist, Charlotte felt a constant warmth emanating from it.She subconsciously curled her fingers, wanting to pull her hand away. But the moment she moved, the strength of the large hand increased a bit.Leandro glanced at her sideways, causing Charlotte to blush with embarrassment, too shy to move again.The empty room was very quiet. Charlotte was just half a meter away from Leandro. On the other end of the phone, Marco was furious, his volume and anger level dir
"The noodles were delicious, thank you."Hearing his words, Charlotte glanced at the bowl and found that the noodles had already been eaten.She felt that she must have comforted Leandro, "Oh, you're welcome. So, should I go back now?""Mm-hmm."Before leaving, Charlotte hesitated whether to take the empty bowl and fork with her.As she reached out to grab it, Leandro suddenly leaned in, their foreheads lightly touching. Even though they pulled away quickly, Charlotte still felt it.She was a bit embarrassed, her face slightly red, "Sorry, I just wanted to take the bowl away...""Did it hurt?"She had just finished speaking when she suddenly felt a warmth on her forehead.One of the man's hands was on the back of her head, and the pads of his index and middle fingers of the other hand gently stroked her forehead.The two were close, their breaths intertwined indistinguishably, Charlotte's nostrils filled with the
Charlotte returned to the room and saw that the phone on the desk had been flashing. She walked over, picked up the phone, and only then did she realize that Elizabeth had sent her quite a few messages.Elizabeth: Lottie! Are you really going to comfort Leandro?Elizabeth: ...You didn't really take my advice and put on sexy pajamas to comfort your husband, did you?Elizabeth: Half an hour has passed, Lottie. Will you be able to get out of bed tomorrow?Elizabeth: There's still ten minutes until an hour, take it easy, Lottie, your calf isn't fully healed yet! I won't disturb your baby-making anymore, I'm out of here. [I'm out of here.JPG]The latest message had arrived two minutes ago. Charlotte looked at Elizabeth's message and her face turned red instantly. She hurriedly replied.Charlotte: ...I'm back! Can you throw away those yellow scraps in your mind?Elizabeth was all talk, but in reality, she was always holding her phone waitin
Catching sight of someone out of the corner of her eye, Charlotte felt incredibly guilty. She had intended to keep playing, but after a while, she couldn't stand the man's gaze and stopped. "Mr. Romero, is there something you need?"Leandro stood by the piano, his head slightly lowered, his dark eyes staring straight at her: "Have you been avoiding me lately?"When he said this, his voice didn't fluctuate at all, only the end tone was slightly heavier, as if he was just asking a simple question.Charlotte's heart trembled, uncontrollably, she remembered that indescribable dream again, and her face instantly flushed red.She steeled herself, pretending to be calm as she met Leandro's gaze: "Oh, really? I have a charity performance tomorrow. I've been practicing this piece recently..."Leandro's hand, resting on the piano, tapped lightly. He didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, "Do we still have the candy from that day?""Huh?"T
Charlotte found it hard to comprehend. Disturbed by Leandro, she lost the mood to continue practicing. She took her phone and went back to her room to find Elizabeth.Charlotte: Liz, I have a question. I have a friend who also plays the piano. She has a male friend who suddenly told her he was feeling down and asked her to play Robert's "Traumerei" for him.Elizabeth: [Picking nose.JPG] And then?Charlotte: Robert's "Traumerei" was a piece he wrote for his lover Clara. It had a bit of a musical love letter vibe. My friend didn't think much of it at first, she thought that her male friend didn't know the story behind it. But to her surprise, after she finished playing, her male friend suddenly said, "This piece was written by Robert for his lover Clara."Elizabeth: Oh no, then what?Charlotte: After he finished speaking, he also said to my friend, "Thank you, Ms. Farrell, for playing for me." My friend felt that her male friend was playing games wit
"Charlotte?"For the third time, Caroline called Charlotte, but there was still no response. She gently pushed her with her hand.Charlotte was nudged, only then did she snap back to reality, looking at Caroline: "What's up? Are we there yet?"Caroline shook her head, looking at Charlotte with some concern, "Charlotte, are you okay? I just called you three times..."Charlotte was embarrassed, her ears instantly turning red, "It's nothing, I just spaced out for a moment."Because Elizabeth overanalyzed, she had another fanciful dream last night.The first half of the dream was normal, it was just her playing "Traumerei" for Leandro last night, and Leandro thanking her."But the latter part became absurd," Leandro said he had no way to repay, so he had to offer himself, and then he held her and kissed her.The taste of a mango-flavored kiss, she still remembered it even now.It was over, she had been led astray by Liz!
When Charlotte went back, she only saw Marcus and his girlfriend.This time, Marcus didn't see her.On the contrary, her girlfriend was looking at her thoughtfully.Charlotte didn't want to cause trouble, so she glanced briefly and then quickly walked back to her seat.Their seats were by the window, about ten meters away from the spot where Marcus had just stopped them. Leandro was unaware of what had happened just now.When he saw her come back, he handed the menu to her and said, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."Charlotte glanced at him, took the menu, lightly bit her lip, made her selection, and handed the menu back to Leandro. "I just ran into Marcus earlier," she said."Hmm?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did he trouble you?"Charlotte shook her head and then nodded, "He stopped me and told me some strange things."She was completely unaware of what Marcus meant.
The sound of "Lottie" that Marcus just made was not small, and all the diners around the table heard it.Of course, his companion naturally heard it too.Odelia Vance had already heard about the affair between Charlotte and Marcus.Charlotte and Leandro were already married, and she didn't think Marcus would anger Leandro at this time.Over the course of their relationship, Marcus was still good to her. He didn't show much interest in other women and, overall, he can be considered loyal.Of course, back then, Charlotte and her affair with him caused quite a stir, so naturally she was worried that Marcus might have a soft spot for other women.However, Lydia was the only one left as Marcus had personally sent everyone away, so she didn't have to worry about this issue.Putting aside all of this, let's take a look at Marcus, who was also a good man.In general, Odelia was quite satisfied with Marcus in all aspects.The onl
Leandro looked at her, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?"The question was thrown back at her.Charlotte was embarrassed. She already felt a bit guilty when she asked this question, and now that he threw the question back at her, she didn't have the courage to continue speaking.She gently squeezed Swiftbolt's belly with her legs, and Swiftbolt took a few steps forward."Did we go back?"Leandro looked at his watch and said, "Do you still want to continue?"Charlotte shook her head and felt a little embarrassed, "I was a bit hungry.""Shall we go for dinner? Eat outside?"At this time, Joyce probably hadn't made dinner yet.Charlotte thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.The two of them changed back into their regular clothes and came out of the stable, it was already almost half past five.Charlotte remembered that she had not told Joyce that she would not be coming home for d
"Charlotte!"When Charlotte heard someone calling her, at first she thought it was an illusion, until she heard it for the second time.She tightened the reins and made Swiftbolt stop.At the same time, the person calling her also rode over on a horse.She didn't know who was calling her until the person got closer.Leandro's younger brother - Elvis.The other person looked at her with a contemptuous expression, and Charlotte didn't need to think to know that this Elvis was probably going to say something unpleasant again.If it was in the past, she would not hesitate to choose to curse back.But now things are different, she and Leandro have been playing a game for real, and in the face of her younger brother-in-law, she has to have a bit of an elder's demeanor.Not to mention, Leandro has already offended two of his three close relatives.This last one, Charlotte was indeed quite troubled.If she also off
Leandro quickly took her back. He dismounted first, then handed Windchaser over to a staff member to take care of, and then took her to the stable to choose a horse.Charlotte can ride a motorboat and play the piano, but when it comes to riding a horse, she really doesn't know how. She can only watch Leandro with longing eyes and say, "I don't know how."Leandro laughed and pointed to a white horse, "Can Swiftbolt do? This is Michael's horse, it has a gentle temperament.""Okay."The good horses were all fostered here by these enthusiasts, while the horses in the other stable were for ordinary tourists to choose from. A comparison immediately reveals the difference.Even the gentle Swiftbolts, they looked much more imposing than they actually were, she certainly had no objections.The caretaker led Swiftbolt out, and Leandro asked Charlotte to get acquainted with Swiftbolt first.Once Swiftbolt became familiar with Charlotte's scent,
At this moment, Charlotte was so embarrassed that she could count out a three-bedroom apartment. She dared not look at Leandro, and could only stare at the traffic light in front of the windshield, counting the numbers one by one."10-9-7-8...1! Green light!"She turned her head and blushed as she glanced at Leandro.The green light is on, the green light is on, let's drive quickly!As for the previous question, let's not pay any more attention to it.Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes slightly flickered, and then he averted his gaze and started the car again.Forget it, I didn't want to bother her.Joyce saw Charlotte and Leandro coming back together and was a little surprised. "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero..."She thought that only Charlotte would come back for lunch, so she didn't prepare it for Leandro.Although she made three dishes, they were all small portions. Charlotte alone couldn't finish them all, and even with Leandro, it was definitely not enough to eat.When Joyce saw Lean
After leaving the ward, Charlotte asked him, "Why did you suddenly come over?"Leandro looked at her and chuckled, "If I didn't come over, this son-in-law would have been incompetent."Charlotte was a bit embarrassed and said, "Dad, I know you were busy.""No matter how busy, we don't lack that little bit of time," he took her hand, "Besides, today is Saturday, it's supposed to be a day off."Charlotte glanced up at him and remembered the phone incident. "Did they find out who called my dad? When I took his phone earlier, I checked his call history, but it was completely deleted."Leandro looked down at her and said, "I haven't found anything yet. That person is very cunning, they always call with a virtual number."Virtual numbers, you couldn't find out who the person on the other side was at all."Okay."Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "What if she kept calling my dad with a virtual number? Are we just supposed to sit and wait for it?""Don't worry too much, if the other person
Greyson paused for a moment, then let out a sigh.The Romero family's situation, he also didn't want to interfere too much, so he just patted his daughter's hand to show comfort.Leandro's mother, Greyson, actually met a few times in the past, and she was remembered as a beautiful and gentle woman.Just unfortunate, she got breast cancer in her thirties and passed away before she turned forty.This incident was quite sensational at that time because for a period of time, many people said that Leandro's mother had committed suicide, otherwise how could it have happened on Marco's birthday.Of course, these are all rumors, and no one knows what is true or false.Greyson has never been a person who gossips behind others' backs. Although he knew about these things, he couldn't distinguish the truth from falsehood, so he naturally didn't bring them up to Charlotte."Then these days, you spent more time with Leandro, he was also having a hard time."At the age of around ten, he lost his bio
Charlotte woke up to the bright daylight. As soon as she opened her eyes, the dazzling sunlight startled her.She instinctively raised her hand to block, squinted her eyes, and grabbed the phone from the side.After checking the time, Charlotte's remaining drowsiness instantly disappeared.It was half past eight!She slept until half past eight!This was not the scariest thing for her. The scariest part was that she couldn't even remember how she fell asleep last night.Charlotte quickly sat up from the bed and ran her fingers through her hair. After that, she began to ponder how she had fallen asleep last night.The memories of last night were starting to awaken, but she thought about it several times and could only remember herself passionately kissing Leandro.What happened to the rest of the memories?Charlotte felt more and more scared!No way, no way, she didn't fall asleep while kissing Leandro last night, did she?This realization made her face instantly heat up. Charlotte rai
