"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
This sudden sound almost instinctively drew everyone's gaze to Charlotte's chest.Such a large diamond, under such bright light, shone so brightly that people couldn't look away.Undoubtedly, at that moment, Charlotte had become the focus of the crowd.In the distance, Marcus, holding a wine glass, spotted Charlotte, who was arm in arm with Leandro, through the crowd.He had known Charlotte for so many years, always aware of her beauty. However, now, looking at her through the crowd, he realized that Charlotte's beauty was outstanding, far more than he had ever recognized.The waist, accentuated by that slim white dress, seemed as if it could be encircled by a single hand. And at that moment, Leandro's hand was slowly wrapping around that slender waist.Marcus's face turned pale instantly, the veins on the back of his hand holding the wine glass pulsating.The man standing next to Charlotte, it should have been him!Charlotte r
Watching her guilty look, Leandro chuckled lightly and reached out to touch her, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, if he kicks you out, I'll walk with you."He said, pausing for a moment, "Moreover, he probably won't ask you to leave tonight."Charlotte heard what he said and thought he was just comforting himself. "But what if he really kicks me out? If you go with me, it would be so embarrassing with all the guests watching, right?"Anyway, today was Marco's sixtieth birthday.Most of the guests tonight were influential figures, and if Leandro angrily left with her...Hmm, that scene was too outrageous, she couldn't even imagine it."It wasn't us who was embarrassing."He laughed, speaking in a casual and indifferent manner, as if he didn't care about Marco at all.Charlotte was taken aback: "Okay."She still believed in Leandro.As they were chatting, the car had already driven into the hotel's entrance.
Charlotte was "dismissed" by Greyson when it wasn't mealtime this time, so she had to leave after sending him to the ward.The hospital parking lot was a bit confusing, and Charlotte was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her way and was afraid to enter through the exit of the inpatient department.She had no choice but to walk along the same path she had come from, heading towards the outpatient department, and entering through the exit of the parking lot over there.It was quite a coincidence.When I came, I met Adan and Paola, they were leaving at that moment, and then I ran into them again.Paola, at this time, had clearly cried and was following behind Adan with a resentful expression on her face.Charlotte didn't want to provoke them, so she took a quick glance and averted her gaze. Subconsciously, she slowed down her pace, intending to wait for them to leave before continuing to walk to the parking lot.I didn't want Pao
Charlotte had no idea that she had just greeted Adan, and Paola and Adan, the two siblings, immediately started arguing.She had no intention of getting to know either of these two people on a deeper level, after all, one was of the opposite sex and the other was a meddlesome character.After walking a distance from the outpatient department, Charlotte finally found the building where Greyson was admitted.At that time, the elevators were crowded with people. She waited for two elevators and decided to take the stairs to the fifth floor.Just as Charlotte stepped out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, she saw Orion standing outside the ward door.Charlotte was somewhat surprised and walked quickly over, saying, "Orion, why are you standing here?"When Orion saw Charlotte, he looked up at her, hesitating to speak.Seeing Orion's reaction, Charlotte immediately realized that something was wrong.She glanced into the wa
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief only after receiving Elizabeth's message. If she didn't reply soon, Charlotte planned to drive over and check the situation.She lowered her head and looked at the message Elizabeth replied in Line, raising her eyebrows slightly.Strange.When did Elizabeth become so quiet?Charlotte felt something was off, but couldn't figure out what was wrong at that moment.She put away her phone and decided to go to the hospital to see Greyson.The hospital was crowded on Friday, and Charlotte had a hard time finding a parking space.Charlotte was not very familiar with the parking lot of this hospital, so she had to go around in circles before finding the exit.I went out but found that it was not the exit of the inpatient department, but the exit of the outpatient department.She had just confirmed the direction of the hospital ward when she turned around and saw a familiar face.Adan loo
Aidan looked at her and said, "You speak.""This matter, you know and I know, did it happen?"Aidan was choked for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.""That's good, you do as you please, I have to go to the company."Her colleagues were all asking her on Line if she was planning to quit and not work anymore. Compared to the fact that she slept with Aidan last night, Elizabeth felt that keeping her job was a bit more important!"Are you in a hurry to go to the company? I can give you a ride."Elizabeth subconsciously wanted to shake her head, she really didn't want to have any more contact with Aidan.After all, what happened last night was quite outrageous.But as the words were about to come out, she changed her mind and said, "Well, thank you for your trouble, but my boss thought I quit! I have to hurry to the company and explain!""Your boss wouldn't give you a hard time about what happened last nig
The events of last night are replaying in my mind like a movie.Aidan sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing how to solve the matter for a moment.If it was another woman, we would just sleep together and spend some money to solve the problem.But this person was not just anyone, it was Elizabeth.Not to mention that Elizabeth herself is not an ordinary woman, just her relationship with Charlotte, she took care of her last night and put her to bed. It's difficult to end it without getting married.Although the Duncan family always had their older brother to rely on, as the youngest son, he didn't have much pressure.But how could Aidan not know that in such a family, it was not enough for him to marry someone he didn't like in the future.He was not Leandro, but he said he would marry.While Aidan had a headache, Elizabeth knocked on the door again and said, "Wash your face, let's talk."When she just woke up, she was n
In the darkness, both of them did not speak anymore, only the sound of their breaths mingled together.I don't know how long had passed, but Charlotte licked her lips and felt a bit thirsty.I wanted to drink water.She thought so and couldn't help but move a little.Leandro grunted, "Baby, I couldn't bear it either."If you keep messing around, I really can't help it anymore.Charlotte's hard-won composure suddenly went up in flames, "No, I was thirsty."She really didn't mean it.Leandro lightly tapped her on the back, indicating for her to get off him.Charlotte didn't react at first, until she heard him say, "I'll pour you some water." Only then did she understand his meaning and quickly flipped off him.Leandro sat up from the bed, turned on the night light, and then picked up the nearby water glass. He went downstairs to pour water for her.The room was illuminated by a night light. Charlotte sat up i
"Did you go to sleep?"Leandro looked at her round, bright lychee eyes and smiled.Charlotte's ears turned slightly red, and she nodded, "Mmm, mmm."Actually, she was not tired.Leandro raised his hand and turned off the night light.The entire room instantly plunged into darkness, and Charlotte felt the woody scent at the tip of her nose becoming even more distinct.In the darkness, Charlotte swallowed nervously.Last night, the intimate scenes of our skin touching suddenly appeared in my mind, and Charlotte suddenly felt hot.She moved slightly, wanting to brush off the thin blanket from her body.The result was that the blanket was not rubbed off, but accidentally rubbed against Leandro's thigh.Both of them were startled.Leandro struggled to swallow and said, "Lottie, aren't you sleepy?"Charlotte's head was buzzing: "I... feel a bit hot."She just wanted to rub off the blanket from her b
Leandro had finished taking a shower and came out, but Charlotte was still waiting for Elizabeth to reply.She had no choice but to put down her phone and ask the person directly, "Leandro."Leandro turned his head and glanced at her when he heard her calling him, and softly asked, "Hmm?""So... your father's birthday, is it just this week?""Well, on Friday."Charlotte pursed her lips and blinked at him, "So, will you go then?""It depended on the situation.""What's the matter?"He wiped his hair, and his short hair was wiped into a mess, adding a touch of youth to his face.Charlotte looked on, her heart inexplicably moved.But she quickly suppressed her wandering thoughts and looked up at him, waiting for his response.He laughed and said, "Mrs. Romero's situation.""Me?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised, raising her hand and pointing at herself. "What's the matter with me?"How did she no
