Charlotte grabbed her phone and hurriedly ran out to open the door.
Sure enough, a police car was parked at the entrance, and several police officers were standing there.
Probably for convenience, there was also a female police officer.
"Ms. Bernard? Your friend called the police saying there was a burglar in your house, was there a burglar in your house?"
The speaking police officer was sizing up Charlotte.
Charlotte, embarrassed, quickly shook her head and explained, "I'm sorry, officer, there was no burglar in my house. It was a misunderstanding. My husband came back from a business trip and I thought he was a burglar. My friend hung up before I could explain..."
When the police saw Charlotte, they also realized it was probably a misunderstanding. However, as per protocol, they still had to ask: "So, there really wasn't a burglar, and nothing else happened? Would it be possible for your husband to come out and meet with us?"
Charlo
"Didn't see much, I'm going down first, the police are still waiting at the door, you should come down quickly too."Charlotte, feeling guilty, quickly dropped a sentence and turned to run.Walking down from the second floor, Charlotte's heartbeat had not yet returned to normal.It was so embarrassing!She stopped at the entrance, her hand clutching her chest, while the other touched her burning cheeks from side to side. After pausing for half a minute, she finally lifted her leg to step out."Sorry, Mr. Lowe, my husband was about to come down."Jeffery nodded, in fact, when he saw Charlotte come out for the second time, he knew that this was just a misunderstanding.But since Charlotte had already notified people, it wasn't good for them to say they were leaving at this time.Leandro came down quickly, wearing a black bathrobe straight down, the tips of his short hair still dripping with water, it was clear that he had just ta
Leandro looked at her, "Go take a shower first, the stuff won't be delivered until later."Charlotte nodded, watching as Leandro turned and left. She quickly closed the door, glanced down at her disappointing belly, and then grabbed her pajamas to take a bath.Charlotte, who claimed not to be hungry, not only drank a bowl of porridge but also ate two shrimp dumplings.Looking at the last shrimp dumpling in the basket, she restrained herself from picking up the fork to take it.Leandro glanced at her, "Are you full?"Charlotte's face heated up. Leandro's casual question, "Are you full?" made her feel embarrassed because of something she had done earlier. "I'm full," she replied."Mm-hmm."Leandro absentmindedly responded, not saying anything else.Charlotte felt a bit tired, stifling a yawn that welled up, "Mr. Romero, may I go back to my room to rest?""Go.""Good night, Mr. Romero.""Good night."Ch
Charlotte opened her eyes, only to realize that she had been dreaming.She breathed a sigh of relief, her hand covering her face, unable to understand why she would have such a dream.After sitting on the bed and reflecting for a while, Charlotte went to wash up. By the time she had finished tidying up and went downstairs, it was already past nine.Charlotte had only gone to bed at one in the morning last night, which was too late. Consequently, she woke up late as well, yawning as she descended the stairs.The spacious villa was very quiet. Charlotte walked towards the kitchen. Upon seeing her, Joyce hurriedly brought the breakfast out from the kitchen.Charlotte said thank you, "Joyce, how was Leandro's appetite this morning?"Fortunately, I almost let the cat out of the bag.If Joyce found out that they weren't sleeping together, the relationship of this plastic couple would have been exposed.Joyce placed a stack of radish
Melvin, who had been Leandro's secretary for many years, recently found his position to be in jeopardy.He used to pride himself on being the secretary who understood the boss the best, but recently, Melvin was somewhat unable to keep up with Leandro's successive orders.There was the matter of Leandro asking him to draft a "marriage agreement" last weekend, and now there's the matter of Leandro suddenly deciding to bring Mrs. Romero to the party.He not only didn't understand why Leandro suddenly changed his mind about attending the party but was even more puzzled as to why Leandro, who never usually brought a female companion, suddenly wanted to bring Mrs. Romero to the party.Melvin, holding the invitation, pondered in his own office and finally figured out a bit of its meaning.The party was hosted by the Welllyn Group, which had a collaboration with Byness Sparks House. Naturally, people from the Gallagher family were invited to this party.
Charlotte was reminded, she reluctantly pulled her thoughts back, refocusing her attention on the game.A team battle broke out quickly, and Charlotte no longer had the mind to worry about whether she was too close to Leandro.Leandro, who was by her side, reminded her from time to time. Thanks to Leandro's reminders, she only failed twice in this round.The game ended, and looking at her impressive score, Charlotte couldn't help but gloat to Leandro, "I'm the MVP.""Um, very impressive."The man looked at her and responded respectfully.At that moment, Charlotte realized that she was almost in Leandro's arms.She instantly lost her composure, her hand holding the phone even trembled for a moment.The ears suddenly turned red, the blush spreading from the ears to the cheeks. Soon, even the face turned red.So close.The scent of cedarwood was overwhelming in her breath, each inhale was that familiar woody fragranc
Because of Leandro's words, Charlotte had another incredible dream.When Charlotte woke up the next day, she looked up at the ceiling and began to doubt herself.She was clearly the type to blush even when holding hands with her boyfriend, so why did she always have such embarrassing dreams at night?The male protagonist in this dream was none other than Leandro, the plastic husband with whom she had signed a contract and was openly collaborating.Help, why did she dream about touching Leandro's abs?Were you that thirsty, Charlotte?Just as she walked down the stairs, Charlotte saw Leandro tilting his head back to drink water.Her gaze fell on the Adam's apple that moved up and down with the swallowing action, and Charlotte subconsciously swallowed as well.Form is emptiness, emptiness is form!Don't blame her. Who wouldn't daydream upon seeing a man like Leandro?"What were you looking at?"The man sudden
Upon hearing the stylist's words, the hand that Charlotte had just raised immediately dropped.Such an expensive necklace, where did she dare to touch it?Just like that, in a daze, the necklace was already put on.The originally empty neckline was adorned with such a diamond necklace, the flawless brownish-yellow diamond pendant rested on the chest, shimmering under the light.Charlotte glanced at the mirror in front of her, her gaze falling on the massive brownish-yellow diamond. She wanted to ask someone to put the necklace away but feared it would make her seem inexperienced.It was too expensive.A necklace worth four hundred million was just hanging around her neck. If anything happened, how could she afford to compensate for it?What kind of party was this?Why did you have to wear such an expensive necklace?"It's really beautiful, Mrs. Romero."The stylist on the side was sincerely praising with his hands
Having someone accompany you to the bathroom was something only primary school students would do.Charlotte sat in the car, still feeling incredibly embarrassed.The lights outside the car window were spectacularly beautiful, swaying over Lottie and casting on Leandro's profile. Each pause of light and shadow was a distinct three-dimensional facet.Charlotte looked and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a face, it's a pity not to act on the big screen."The carriage had been silent, but a woman's sigh suddenly broke the quiet.The light ahead was red, so the car stopped. Even the focused driver in front couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.And Leandro, who had originally been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, also slowly opened his eyes at this moment, turned his head, and stared straight at her.Charlotte: "..."This mouth, she really didn't want it anymore!But it was such a shame to give up on something s
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
The room was very quiet. Leandro patiently waited for a while, but in the end, he couldn't resist the longing in his heart and body. He turned his head, as if testing the waters, and gently kissed Mrs. Romero on the side of her face, almost as if he was asking for something.However, just now he was leaning against his Charlotte, but at this moment there was no response, no movement. Just now, there was a slight rapid breathing, but now it has become very calm."Lottie?"Leandro put the person on the bed and then realized that Charlotte was already asleep.He looked at the person sleeping on the bed, silently chuckling, and somewhat helplessly, he gently lifted her onto the pillow, then pulled over the thin blanket from the side and covered her with it.It can be seen that Charlotte was really tired. When the blanket was placed over her, she reached out and pulled it a bit, then she turned to the side and continued sleeping.Leandro sat on the bed and looked at her for a while, confir
"Social news?"Leandro glanced at her with a meaningful look.Charlotte raised her hand and touched her earlobe, "If we had been caught just now, the cemetery keeper would have called the police...""Why?"When it comes to this issue, Charlotte felt guilty.She couldn't say that she was quite familiar with the gravedigger.Charlotte didn't recognize the person at first, but just now she saw a familiar figure in the rearview mirror.Upon closer inspection, isn't it the gravedigger who caught her and Elizabeth five years ago?He was quite dedicated to his job and had been working for five years, still being so diligent."I, I just guessed."The traffic light was red, and Leandro smirked, but he didn't expose her.The cemetery is still a bit far from the downtown area, and it was already past 11 o'clock at night when the car returned to the community.Returning to the villa, there were only five minutes
"Can I hug you?"Charlotte subconsciously shook her head, not wanting Leandro to just bend down and pick her up: "Let me hold you instead, what if the gravekeeper comes back later?"Her face turned red, she pursed her lips, raised her hand and hooked it around his neck, obediently responding with a soft "Oh."Leandro carried the person and quickly returned to the place where the two of them had just jumped down.When they arrived, Charlotte realized that when they had entered, there were stones. However, there were no stones in this cemetery.Or, even if there were stones, they were cleared out by the cemetery staff.She looked up at the wall that was neither tall nor short, and said, "What should I do?"Can't we stay here tonight?Thinking of this, she looked around and saw tombstones as far as the eye could see.Don't say, it's quite scary.Charlotte quickly averted her gaze and instinctively leaned into Leandro
A gust of wind blew over, and Charlotte felt a chill on her chest. She exclaimed, "Oh!" and obediently followed him back.The cemetery in the night was very quiet, and the sound of the wind seemed particularly loud.The two of them had only walked halfway back when suddenly a flashlight beam shone towards them.Charlotte instinctively grabbed Leandro and said, "Run quickly!"She spoke while lifting her skirt and running to one side."Who?"In the distance, there was the scolding voice of the gravekeeper. Charlotte pulled Leandro and crouched behind a tombstone, "Quick, hide!"Seeing how nervous she was, Leandro had no choice but to crouch down with her.He crouched behind her, his chest almost touching her back.Charlotte listened to the breathing sound in her ears, half of her thoughts on the gravekeeper and the other half on the person behind her.As the footsteps of the gravekeeper grew closer, her heartbeat qu
Upon hearing his voice, Charlotte instinctively looked forward.Leandro's mother's tomb was separate, semi-circular in shape, occupying nearly ten square meters.On the black tombstone, which was over one meter tall, the black and white photo on it appeared clear under the moonlight.This was the first time Charlotte saw a photo of Leandro's mother, and the woman in the photo was so beautiful that she couldn't find words to describe her for a moment.If you look closely, it can be seen that Leandro inherited almost 90% of his mother's appearance.The woman in the photo had long hair that reached her shoulders, and there was a hint of pitifulness in her gentle appearance. Just looking at her photo made people unable to resist feeling pity for her."Mom looked so beautiful."As beautiful as her mommy.Charlotte glanced at Leandro and earnestly praised him.Leandro laughed and said, "She would be very happy if she could hea
