"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
It seemed that Leandro had gone to the study. She had just seen him enter the study when she was going upstairs earlier.Charlotte walked straight to the study and knocked on the door, "Mr. Romero, are you in there?"The door wasn't shut tightly. She only knocked twice and the door opened a bit inward.Charlotte was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't, and was about to close the door by pulling the handle. However, just as her hand touched the handle, a force pulled it inward.The next second, the door was pulled open, she was led inside, her foot slipped, she lost her balance, and she fell directly onto Leandro's chest.She awkwardly lifted her head, just in time to meet the man's lowered gaze. Her eyes collided directly into his deep black pupils. Charlotte awkwardly stepped back, "Mr. Romero."Leandro took in the embarrassment on her face, his gaze sweeping over her reddened ear tips, his eyebrows and eyes slightly moving, "Sleepwalk
Charlotte was typically one to take the easy way out, no matter what kind of game Daisy was playing. But her gaze was simply irresistible to her."May I take a look then?"Leandro didn't speak, Charlotte took it as his consent.With a happy face, Daisy picked up the gift box and handed it to Charlotte.Charlotte took the box, unwrapped the ribbon, and upon opening it, found another small gift box inside.Where was the Russian nesting doll?Was Daisy waiting for her here?Charlotte paused in her actions, subconsciously looking up at Daisy, who still had that hopeful look in her eyes.Leandro was right here, Daisy wouldn't really make a move on her in front of Leandro, would she?With that thought, Charlotte immediately picked up the small gift box. Upon opening it, she found that there was only a piece of paper inside.To be precise, it was a shopping voucher.To be more precise, it was a purchase receipt fo
Daisy paused for a moment, then quickly pulled out a check from her bag, directly filling it out for five million, and immediately handed it to Charlotte: "Money is a good thing, Ms. Bernard really has taste!"Charlotte looked at the five-million-dollar check, not knowing how things had gotten to this point.Seeing that she didn't accept, Daisy immediately misunderstood, "Is it because the money is too little?"Leandro, who was standing aside, had the audacity to say, "Do you think my wife would lack this five million?"For the first time, Daisy felt that Leandro was right. She nodded, "Indeed, how about that ten million? No, no, that's still not enough. How about thirty million? My pocket money is a bit short this year..."In the end, Daisy was somewhat embarrassed.She filled out a new check for thirty million and stuffed it directly into Charlotte's hand, "Don't despise it, Mrs. Romero! I received a bonus at the end of the year, I'll give
Leandro was clearly taken aback, his dark eyes flickering slightly before his deep gaze fell directly onto her face, "Dating?"Charlotte's face was flushed red, standing there, her scalp tingling with embarrassment, so much so that it felt like she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from it.She quickly raised her hand and slapped her own mouth twice, "I was just joking, trying to lighten the serious atmosphere, right? Ahahaha, wasn't it funny?"So embarrassing!She really wanted to escape!Fortunately, at that moment, Leandro's phone rang.Before he could speak, Charlotte took the initiative to tactfully say, "I just remembered something," and turned to run upstairs.Returning to the room, Charlotte plunged her head into the pillow.Thinking of the nonsense I had just spouted, I wished I could sew my own mouth shut.She rolled over twice in bed, recalling Daisy's check for thirty million.Charlotte picked up
Without hesitation for even two seconds, Charlotte quickly accepted the friend request.However, after the other party added the friend, they didn't say anything at all. The friend page of the two was completely blank, with only one sentence, "You have added the note, you can start chatting now."Charlotte raised an eyebrow, wondering what Daisy had up her sleeve for her. Before she could figure out what Daisy might do to her, Elizabeth suddenly threw over a screenshot: [Screenshot.JPG] What drama is Ms. Clements singing this time?Charlotte clicked on the screenshot and found out that Daisy had actually posted a thank you statement on Twitter, and even tagged her Twitter.Daisy, Chloe's daughter, was always active on Twitter and had quite a few fans. She was known as Princess Chloe.Her Twitter was mostly trending by default most of the time.This time was no exception.Daisy's Twitter had only been posted for two hours, and it was a
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
