Leandro watched her movements, his eyebrows twitching slightly, "Don't like it?"
It's not that I didn't like it, I was just afraid of getting drunk.
Charlotte was a classic case of "weak in capacity but strong in desire" when it came to drinking alcohol.
The last time she got drunk, she mentioned "car sex" in front of Leandro. Charlotte still remembers it vividly to this day.
Thinking of this, Charlotte's face couldn't help but flush: "Drinking is not good."
Although the wine was delicious, it was truly embarrassing!
Quit it, quit it!
Leandro's lips curled slightly in a rare smile, then he reached out to take the glass of red wine from her hand, and from a passing waiter's tray, he picked up a glass of orange juice for her: "Drink this."
Charlotte glanced around at the people, all of whom were swirling their glasses of red wine. Dressed as stunningly as she was and holding a glass of orange juice, she couldn't help but feel she
As soon as Charlotte spoke, there was a noticeable change in Marissa's complexion.She had originally thought that, in front of so many people, with her attitude being so good, even if Charlotte was reluctant, she would have no choice but to grit her teeth and say "okay".Unexpectedly, Charlotte didn't buy into this at all. Even in front of so many people, she still didn't show any social respect.The people around waiting to watch the drama, upon hearing Charlotte's "I mind," many of them secretly took a deep breath."...Really? Was Charlotte that brave? After all, this was her husband's stepmother. Shouldn't she show some respect, if not for the woman herself, then for her husband's sake?""What do you know? Mr. Romero has always had a bad relationship with his stepmother. Naturally, Charlotte would side with Mr. Romero.""But on an occasion like today, even if there was real dissatisfaction, such a refusal was too impolite, too disrespect
Aidan walked up to Leandro, "Aren't you going to check on your little darling wife?"Leandro gave him a cold glance, and Aidan turned his gaze away in disappointment.Alright, I couldn't even make a half-joking remark.Charlotte followed Daisy to the garden. The Galloway family had put a lot of effort into the party, even the garden was meticulously decorated.However, such high-class banquets were not frequent throughout the year, let alone tonight. At this banquet, many distinguished guests who rarely appeared on normal days were present. Therefore, this "remote" garden was not favored.Just as Daisy had said, the garden was indeed quite deserted and peaceful.Of course, even the lighting was only for ambiance, it didn't serve much of a purpose for illumination.Charlotte casually put down the cup in her hand, then followed Daisy to sit down on the chair in front.Sipping her red wine, Daisy let her gaze sweep over her before
Charlotte thought that Daisy definitely did it on purpose!He intentionally got close to her first, then used her as a way to get closer to Leandro!Tsk tsk tsk!She had just thought that this Ms. Clements was not up to par, but she didn't expect her to be so cunning!Charlotte was afraid that she might inadvertently betray Leandro, so she quickly stood up to leave as soon as she finished speaking.She just didn't expect that after only a few steps, Ms. Clements called out to her again: "Ms. Bernard."Charlotte had no patience to continue this with her either. She turned her head, looking at her expressionlessly, "Ms. Clements, I'm already married to Leandro. You're a well-off young lady, I believe there are many who like you. You don't need to hang yourself on this tree named Leandro.""You were absolutely right."Daisy stood up, but instead of walking towards her, she headed for the swimming pool behind her.Charlotte
The shrieking woman's voice quickly attracted the people in the banquet hall. Charlotte had just pulled Daisy out of the swimming pool when a crowd of people surged out behind her."I saw it! I saw her push Ms. Clements into the swimming pool!"To slander her, had Daisy even arranged for people to lie blatantly?Charlotte suddenly regretted jumping down to save someone just now. If she hadn't, Daisy could have saved them as a "backup"!Charlotte put on a serious face, walked over to the shoes she had hastily taken off earlier and picked up the necklace.A necklace worth over four hundred million was lost, she couldn't afford to compensate for it!She had just picked up her shoes, planning to go find Leandro for support, when Marissa came over surrounded by people, "What's going on? Daisy, why are you like this?"Daisy was probably choked by the water, and was now there, coughing and spitting out water.Before she could speak, t
Not only Marissa was surprised and incredulous, but even Charlotte, the person involved, doubted whether Daisy's brain had been soaked in water and gone bad.She staged this whole act, wasn't it just to frame her for pushing her into the water?Wasn't it always written like this in novels?Wasn't it always portrayed like this in TV dramas?However, Daisy had denied that she was the one who pushed her down, and honestly claimed that she was her savior.Charlotte stood behind Leandro, for the first time in her life, she felt her intelligence was somewhat inadequate.Daisy draped the towel someone handed her over her shoulders, glancing at Charlotte behind Leandro, "Mrs. Romero, I'm sorry for startling you tonight."The wind blew, and she sneezed. Daisy paused for a moment, then continued, "You should go change your clothes, I will definitely come to thank you another day for what happened tonight!"After speaking, she turned arou
The shower was continuously emitting warm water, and the entire bathroom was filled with steam.Charlotte lifted her head and collided with those deep black pupils, and her heartbeat quickened for a moment.She subconsciously lowered her gaze, unintentionally landing on his bobbing Adam's apple.Hot.Charlotte curled her toes. The bathroom always evoked some risqué thoughts.She was afraid that if Leandro didn't leave, she might not be able to control herself.Charlotte took a slight breath, "Mr. Romero, could you please leave?""Mm-hmm."Leandro averted his gaze and gave a nod of acknowledgment.The lowered gaze hid the surging emotions that Charlotte had never noticed.He reached out, lifted Charlotte off the sink, slightly turned his body, and walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief, just about to undress, raising her hand, only then did she realize she was holding
"I understood."Leandro looked at her deeply, "Wait a moment, I'll have it sent over."As soon as Leandro finished speaking, Charlotte's face turned red instantly. She nodded shyly, "Oh, thank you."Was anyone more embarrassed than her?Was it gone?Charlotte numbly closed the door, every event that had occurred that night felt like a dream, not a single thing had been within her expectations.It was ten minutes later when Charlotte opened the bathroom door again. The Galloway family had prepared a little black dress for her, the hem of which only reached just above her knees.With limited time, Charlotte only managed to half-dry her hair. Although her makeup didn't come off extensively, a lot of it had worn off.Leandro had already risen from the sofa: "I'm leaving.""Huh? Just leave?"Would that have been too impolite?"Mm-hmm."Clearly, with Leandro, there was absolutely no need to worry so much.
The events of tonight felt like an incredible dream to Charlotte.However, Charlotte was not the only one who found the events of tonight unbelievable.Marissa was utterly baffled. Daisy was supposed to marry Leandro in the future, and tonight was such a great opportunity. Not only did she not take the initiative to confront Charlotte, but she even spoke up for Charlotte.Marissa thought for more than half an hour, but still couldn't figure out how Daisy's thought process worked.Having finally heard that Daisy had come out after changing into her formal dress, Marissa immediately left the noblewoman she was chatting with and, in her high heels, went to find Daisy.Not only Marissa, who didn't understand, but even Chloe Pratt, who usually had a good relationship with Daisy, couldn't understand either. "Daisy, why did you speak up for Charlotte just now?"What a great opportunity it was just now. If Daisy had just kept her mouth shut, Charlot
Charlotte just remembered, "I'm sorry, I forgot."She quickly took out her phone, scanned Adan's QR code, and then added him as a friend."Go back and change your clothes, have a hot drink, and be careful not to catch a cold.""Thank you."Adan looked at the person and made a slight sound of disapproval, saying, "If you really feel guilty, next time we meet, just treat me to a meal."Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, thank you so much for today."Otherwise, with such heavy rain, if she had waited for the trailer rescue, her clothes would have been completely wet.The temperature today was not low, but it rained, making it a bit cold. In addition, she was in a special period. If she got completely wet, she would definitely catch a cold.Furthermore, Adan's secretary Edgar might still be waiting in the rain for the tow truck rescue.She really felt grateful."Okay."Adan nodded and watched as
It was raining heavily, and although Charlotte was holding an umbrella, her lower legs got wet in no time.In the morning when she left, she didn't feel cold. But now, standing in the wind and rain, Charlotte gradually started to feel cold.She called the trailer company and, holding her phone, she was originally planning to send a Line message to Leandro, but she was afraid that he would worry.After hesitating for a moment, she still sent a Line message to Leandro. She still remembered the incident of taking Adan to the hospital last time.Better not to anger Mr. Romero.In the black Maybach, Adan just hung up the phone and looked out of the side window.The blue Maserati parked on the road, attracting a lot of attention.The peach blossom eyes slightly curved, not knowing which unlucky soul it was.He averted his gaze, but then turned it back after catching a glimpse of a familiar figure: "Stop the car."The road was
Charlotte arranged to have lunch with Elizabeth near her company. After leaving the hospital, she drove directly to Elizabeth's company.Elizabeth left early before 12 o'clock, Charlotte was browsing Twitter when someone suddenly knocked on the table.She instinctively looked up and, upon seeing Elizabeth, was somewhat surprised, "You're here so soon?"Elizabeth put down her bag and said, "It feels like it's going to rain. I sneaked over before work ended."She took the menu from Charlotte's hand and asked, "How is Uncle's condition? When is the surgery scheduled?""The medical examination results just came out, and the doctor said they will arrange it in the next two days."Elizabeth nodded her head and said, "Once you put on the brace, you won't have to worry anymore. You can also relax.""Yeah! But I felt like my dad was hiding something from me!""That phone call?""Hmm." Charlotte hummed lightly, flipping through th
Greyson looked at the person and said, "What do you want to do?"The woman looked at Greyson and smiled, "Charlotte just left, right?"The daughter is Greyson's only soft spot now. When she mentioned Charlotte, Greyson's face completely turned cold: "If you dare to harass Lottie, I will make you regret it!"The woman seemed indifferent and chuckled lightly, saying, "Then I want to see Mr. Bernard's sincerity."She spoke and took out a card, placing it in front of Greyson. "Mr. Bernard does seem to care about your daughter, but don't forget, I am also your daughter."The woman's face suddenly turned cold as she said, "If you don't want Charlotte to know about this, I suggest you be more tactful."She finished speaking and took out a card from her bag, placing it in front of Greyson. "Here is a card, within three days, I want to see your sincerity!"Greyson picked up the card and tore it directly, saying, "You must be dreaming! I only h
Monday.When Charlotte woke up, Leandro was already on his way to the airport.She lay on her side, looking at the empty bed beside her. After a while, she got up and went to wash up.Joyce saw her coming downstairs and prepared breakfast.The weather today was also nice, but it seemed colder than yesterday.Greyson's medical examination results could be available this morning. She had to go to the hospital to discuss the surgical arrangements with her attending physician.Before leaving, Joyce handed her an umbrella: "Mrs. Romero, the weather forecast said it would rain today."Charlotte took the umbrella and smiled at Joyce, saying, "Thank you, Joyce! I'm going to the hospital, I won't be back for lunch!"She had made an appointment with Elizabeth at noon, as they hadn't seen each other for almost ten days."Okay, be careful on the way.""Uh-huh."Charlotte left home a bit early today and encountered the
Charlotte and Leandro ate lunch at home.After finishing lunch, she felt a bit sore in her waist and her stomach wasn't very comfortable. After practicing the piano for an hour, she went back to her room and took a nap.Charlotte was feeling a bit sleepy, probably due to her menstrual cycle.This afternoon nap, she slept directly from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.After a good night's sleep, she felt much better. She went to the balcony and enjoyed the breeze for a while, then went to the piano room.When Auntie came up with the brown sugar water, Charlotte only then found out that Leandro had just returned to the company half an hour ago."Mr. Romero said he can't have dinner with you, let me tell you, Mrs. Romero.""Oh, okay, I got it."Joyce finished conveying the message and then asked Charlotte what she wanted to eat for dinner.She didn't have much appetite, so Joyce was asked to watch over her.Leandro didn't come ba
Leandro had already changed the bed sheets. When he saw her coming out, his gaze fell on her feet, and he immediately walked over and lifted her up. "Why aren't you wearing slippers?"Charlotte looked down at her feet and realized that she had been walking without shoes all along.She awkwardly said, "I forgot."When Leandro picked her up and put her on the toilet just now, she wasn't wearing slippers. After finishing, she completely forgot about wearing slippers.Leandro placed her on the bed and bent down, holding the soles of her feet.Charlotte didn't feel her feet cold just now, but now they are being held by his hands, his big warm palms covering her soles, the comfortable and soothing feeling makes her want to keep it forever.But not long after, Leandro covered her feet to keep them warm, took a tissue from her dressing table, and then came back to help her wipe her feet. After that, he directly put her legs into the thin blanket and
The cat's humming sound, like cat claws scratching, was teasing every nerve of Leandro.And his pride in self-control, at this moment, finally crumbled completely.Leandro held her slender and long neck, lifting her slightly and pulling her closer to his body. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her delicate collarbone.He kissed her slowly and gently, just like a devout believer.Charlotte could feel the delicacy and tenderness of each of his kisses clearly, as the tingling sensation increased in range with each kiss.She was like a bamboo shoot, peeled off its outer layer, revealing delicate skin.The coldness of the air conditioner hit, and Charlotte shivered for a moment.The man's arms were warm and strong, and she was held by him, the coldness diminished slightly. However, the embarrassment and the upcoming events made her feel a certain unknown fear.Just when she thought it was about to happen, Leandro suddenly grabbed
Charlotte was afraid that Elizabeth would send her explicit novels, so she quickly logged out of Line after saying goodnight.At that moment, Leandro came out of the bathroom.She took a glance and, for some reason, it reminded her of what Elizabeth had just said, "It's not only couples who sleep together, nor is it only those who don't."She instinctively thought about her marriage with Leandro, which had been almost five months, and realized that they hadn't had any intimate moments as a couple yet. She wondered if it was a bit absurd.At the thought of this, Charlotte's face had immediately become flushed.She instinctively raised her hand and covered her cheek, wanting to cool down her face.Leandro looked at her like that and asked with a smile, "What was Mrs. Romero thinking?""No, I didn't think about anything."Charlotte was very guilty, she didn't dare to tell him that she had just been thinking about the married life
