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
The events of the party quickly spread among the upper circles of Aelmere.Almost everyone in the circle could not understand Daisy's actions.Charlotte was undoubtedly the center of attention tonight, whether it was her stunning outfit when she appeared with Leandro, the incomparable "four billion plus" around her neck, or her affairs with Daisy.The "unparalleled" directly made Charlotte stand out. Someone took a photo and posted it on their social media platform. In just three hours, the hashtag #Ms. Bernard's Post-Wedding# had already surged to the fifth place on the trending list.Charlotte had just finished blow-drying her hair when she saw that her phone screen was filled with messages from Elizabeth.Elizabeth: Lottie, you're trending! [Screenshot.JPG][Screenshot.JPG]Elizabeth: Lottie, you looked so damn good tonight!Elizabeth: Did you run into Marcus tonight? He saw you this evening, he's probably going to regret it so much
"Did you think I suited this?"Leandro looked at her, his brow slightly furrowed, a hint of distaste on his face.Charlotte stared at him, "But... this necklace, it doesn't really suit me, does it?"A necklace worth over four hundred million, where would she dare to wear it casually?!"Didn't you wear it quite well tonight?"Charlotte looked embarrassed, "Looking good is one thing, but tonight's occasion is rather grand, so naturally it's different. Moreover--"She spoke, paused for a moment, "This necklace is too valuable."Leandro, however, didn't care at all: "The value of jewelry is given by people. No matter how precious it is, it's just for people to wear. It suits you well, and it can show its value just as well if you have it.""No, Mr. Romero, this necklace is really too valuable, I—"Leandro let go immediately, "If you don't want it, just throw it away. This amount of money, I never even cared about it."
At six fifty in the morning, Charlotte was once again awakened by the urge to urinate, she groped her way to the bathroom with her eyes closed.Yesterday was just too exhausting, she can't even open her eyes now.After using the bathroom, she returned to bed with her eyes closed.In a daze, Charlotte felt as if her hand had touched something that also seemed to be a "hand".Wrong!How could there be other things on her bed?Realizing this, Charlotte instantly woke up.She opened her eyes, meeting the man's deep black pupils.Leandro?What was going on, how could Leandro be on her bed?What happened last night?Charlotte's mind went completely blank, staring at Leandro's brows and eyes close at hand, and the familiar woody scent that kept wafting over, all served as reminders to her.She was now sharing a bed with Leandro!This fact was even more shocking than her running naked while drunk!
Leandro looked at Charlotte, whose face and neck were flushed red, a hint of amusement floating in his dark eyes.Charlotte was looking down, contemplating the feasibility of living on another planet, naturally, she couldn't see the twinkling laughter in those dark eyes.The awkward and inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere lasted for about half a minute. After Charlotte had mentally prepared herself, she finally lifted her head and looked back at Leandro, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero, I didn't expect that my sleepwalking would do such a thing...""I knew the damage had already been done, and no amount of apologies from me would make a difference. So, tell me a solution that you think would make you feel better. As long as it's not illegal, I can agree to it."Who wouldn't be angry if they were suddenly woken up in the middle of the night by a person of the opposite sex who started biting their ear and kissing their collarbone?Leandro didn't beat her up las
Charlotte hadn't expected Elizabeth to be so sensitive, she felt guilty and didn't dare to reply to Elizabeth's messages anymore.She sat on the bed, trying hard to recall how she had ended up in Leandro's room the night before.She didn't seem to sleep very well last night, she had many dreams, some of which were even dreams within dreams.Looking back now, it seemed like she had dreamt of passionately kissing Leandro!Was it a dream that was dreamed?She didn't kiss Leandro while holding him last night, did she?The more Charlotte thought about it, the more scared she became. She didn't even know she was such a fierce woman!Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.Let this matter be in the past!Having relieved herself for a while, Charlotte's stomach issued a dissatisfied protest.She glanced down at her shriveled stomach and couldn't help but sigh.There was nothing I could do even
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
The first party saw Elizabeth and immediately became angry: "Weren't you quite reserved just now? How come you're all over this new man now?"The first party glanced at Aidan's attire and saw his million-dollar watch on his hand. The words became even more sarcastic: "Do you think you're generous just because you wear a luxury watch? You're not even worth two hundred bucks for a night! Oh, and I don't even find you attractive!"This statement instantly ignited Elizabeth's anger, but before she could speak, Aidan, who was standing beside her, sneered first, "Your boss?"Elizabeth looked at him and shook her head, "No, you fool."He almost couldn't help but curse the client.Aidan stood directly in front of her and looked at the person in question, saying, "You dare to touch my people? Do you want to find out who I, Aidan, am?"The first party actually recognized Aidan as soon as he finished talking. The Duncan family only has two sons, and th
After washing her face, she also calmed down. After calming down, she was still quite scared.Will she be fired from the company that her left foot entered first tomorrow?Upon further consideration, if she was fired, then she was fired. She is not just a decorative vase without any abilities. She would still thrive if she switched companies.But the company had good benefits, the colleagues were nice, and the department head was just a bit nagging, but had a good heart...She had a complex mood, feeling a little excited and a little scared.After venting, Elizabeth felt too embarrassed to go back. She glanced at her colleague and said, "I'm going home, please let the minister know for me."This thing was quite messed up tonight. Elizabeth's colleague didn't know what to say: "Alright, just let me know when you get home."Elizabeth nodded her head absentmindedly and left the bathroom in a daze.She didn't notice someone in fron
Charlotte realized about Marco's birthday only after she had taken a shower. Compared to the return of her uncle and aunt, Leandro's father's birthday was more imminent.More than three months had passed, and she recalled the last time she met Marco. Until now, Charlotte still felt embarrassed.She used to be a true warrior, whatever Marco said, she would confront it.However, she had never thought about getting involved with Leandro for real at that time, so she naturally wouldn't prefer to be wronged and still put on a good face for his father and stepmother.Now, she is fine. She went from being Mrs. Romero in the contract to being the real Mrs. Romero.Charlotte glanced towards the bathroom and instinctively grabbed her phone to find Elizabeth: "Liz, Liz! Leandro's father's birthday is next week, what should I do? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent!"Elizabeth also didn't know where she went, and rarely did not reply to her messages i
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, and if Greyson hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Marcus.When the news of Marcus eloping broke out, her uncle and aunt were furious and said they would bring back her eldest cousin to help her deal with the situation.Charlotte didn't want her two cousins to get involved in all this mess, and she almost tried everything to convince her aunt and uncle to let her handle it herself.Back then, they were in Havigsaq, out of reach. She playfully and cutely assured that she could handle it, and they had no choice but to nod and agree.Now that they are coming back, they naturally want to hold the Gallagher family accountable.Just this bad debt, it wasn't so easy to calculate.Charlotte was puzzled: "It shouldn't, right?"Greyson looked at her and said, "Your uncle and aunt doted on you a lot, and you know it."Charlotte thought about her aunt's personality and also kne
Charlotte drove to the hospital after she finished breakfast.The hospital was crowded during the day, and she had a hard time finding a parking space for her car.The ward that Greyson moved into yesterday was still empty, with only him inside.When Charlotte entered, Jaylen brought soup over and upon seeing her, said, "Ms. Bernard."Jaylen hadn't seen Charlotte for a while, and couldn't help but look at her. He saw that she looked good and hadn't lost weight, so he asked her with relief if she wanted to have some soup.Charlotte had just finished breakfast and couldn't drink the soup at that time. "No need, Jaylen."Seeing her coming, both Jaylen and Orion tactfully found excuses to leave the ward, leaving the space for the father and daughter.Charlotte looked at Greyson on the sickbed and thought about her dream from last night, and her chest started to feel tight again.She walked over to the chair next to the hospital bed
