Daisy's actions not only baffled people in the circle but also inadvertently slapped Marissa and Marco in the face.
The rumors of the union between the Romero family and the Clements family had already started circulating five years ago.
Daisy returned to her country last year, and the Romero family and the Clements family even sat down together for a meal.
It was not until this year that Leandro suddenly married Charlotte, that the matter of the alliance gradually subsided.
But last night, Marissa took Daisy to the Welllyn Group's party, the meaning of which couldn't have been more obvious.
Although Charlotte and Leandro had obtained their marriage certificate, they had never held a wedding ceremony. Whenever Marissa socialized, she always conveyed Marco's dissatisfaction with Charlotte, his daughter-in-law.
With all these pieces of news linked together, everyone felt that Leandro and Charlotte were bound to divorce sooner or later, and Dai
"Is there something wrong?"Leandro pulled on a bathrobe, covering his eight-pack abs, but the wide neckline was a bit low.Charlotte struggled to regain her composure, pretending to look at him nonchalantly, "I just received a call, it was from your father's secretary.""What was said?"Leandro turned and walked into the room, Charlotte hesitated for a moment but had no choice but to follow him in."...said your father wanted to see me, at half past twelve tomorrow noon at Beachmarsh Restaurant.""Don't mind him."Charlotte nodded, "Actually, I didn't really want to see him either.""Mm-hmm."Leandro responded, "Do you need a follow-up for your leg?""Yes, the follow-up appointment was tomorrow.""In the morning?""Um, the morning call."Leandro furrowed his brows, "Call me after your follow-up appointment, I'll come to pick you up."He had a meeting in the morning, which he couldn't c
Hearing her words, Leandro suddenly burst into laughter.The man's laughter was deep and rich. Charlotte listened, her face rolling through wave after wave of heat.She hung her head, wishing she could dig a hole right there and bury herself.Leandro laughed for a while before he finally stopped and said, "No need to compensate.""But--"She tore the sofa!A sofa worth over three million!"Feeling guilty?"Charlotte kept nodding. This sofa worth more than three million probably cured her nervous habit of constantly picking at her fingers!After all, not everyone was as kind and generous as Leandro!Ah, Leandro was such a good man!Leandro looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you know how to massage?"Charlotte didn't understand, but still sincerely replied, "A little."Greyson had a problem with migraines, she learned some massage techniques and would massage him whenever she had time."I di
This had already been the third time Charlotte zoned out.Elizabeth clicked her tongue lightly, sat down directly next to Charlotte, and hooked her arm over her shoulder. "Lottie, what's got you so entranced that you didn't even respond when I called you three times?"Charlotte was suddenly embraced by Elizabeth. Her thoughts immediately flew back. Looking at Elizabeth, she felt a bit guilty, "I was just thinking about something."Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"What were you thinking about?Of course, it was about the embarrassing incident last night!God knows what got into her last night. After Leandro finished his sentence, she was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched his abs.The scene at that time was extremely awkward. Even now, whenever Charlotte thought about it, she still felt so embarrassed that her scalp tingled and she wished she could just disappear.H
With an "I knew it" expression on her face, Elizabeth looked at Charlotte, who was earnestly lecturing and said, "Besides, Leandro is your legitimate husband. What's wrong with you touching him? Even if you kiss him, he can only endure it, right?"Charlotte's face was all red. Elizabeth was right, but saying such things in public was too much for her thin skin. She quickly changed the subject, "You're right! So why would Daisy want to publicly thank me?"Whenever Daisy was mentioned, Elizabeth's attention was diverted: "Speaking of which, this Ms. Clements, is really inscrutable."Charlotte let out a slight sigh of relief.At that moment, the food was served. The two of them were discussing Daisy's incredible actions while also complaining about some envious weirdos in their circle.A meal was enjoyed heartily by two best friends.Charlotte accidentally ate too much and felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, "Liz, I think I ate too much."
"Boo hoo hoo, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match in terms of social status!""It was enough that my boyfriend was handsome, but he would also come to pick me up whenever it rained. This kind of on-call availability, I was truly envious."Angela walked under Marcus's umbrella amidst the envious gazes and sounds of the crowd.When she hooked up with Marcus, she gave Tiana Flynn a wink.Tiana glanced in Charlotte's direction and spoke up directly, "Mr. Gallagher, Ms. Bernard is also here, won't you give her a ride as well?"Marcus's face changed slightly, he turned around and quickly spotted Charlotte in the crowd."Lottie."He restrainedly shouted.In the crowd, Charlotte, suddenly cued, said: "..."She somewhat regretted stopping Elizabeth from tearing Tiana's mouth.Before Marcus could speak, Angela asked generously, "Ms. Bernard, would you like a ride?""No need, someone came to pick me
Leandro's sudden appearance clearly shattered Marcus's "illusion".Of course, he also slapped Tiana and Daisy hard.Daisy had been dissatisfied with Marcus's insistence on staying, but thinking that Charlotte was just showing off, she thought it might not be a bad idea to stay and watch the spectacle.Just a few minutes had passed, and Leandro appeared!The three of them had different thoughts, but Elizabeth was very pleased.She was about to make a sarcastic remark, when a young man in a suit, holding an umbrella, glanced her way, "Hello, are you Miss Elizabeth, a friend of Mrs. Romero?"Elizabeth was somewhat taken aback, staring at the man in front of her. It took her a couple of seconds to nod and say, "Yes, it's me. What's up?""I was Mr. Romero's secretary, Melvin. Mr. Romero sent me to take you home, Ms. Farrell. With such heavy rain, it's hard to get a cab."The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough f
Meanwhile.Sitting in the car, Charlotte was reflecting on everything that had just happened, wondering if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.How did she just - just run straight into Leandro's arms?Thinking back to the moment when she had bumped into Leandro, her heart would still involuntarily quicken at the memory.You were so pathetic, Charlotte!It was just a play, why are you still here blushing like a primary school kid who has never been in love?But he was Leandro, yeah!Right, he was Leandro!The cream of the crop among men!"What were you thinking about?"In the quiet carriage, a male voice suddenly sounded.Charlotte paused for a moment, looked up at the man beside her, and blurted out as usual, "Thinking about the best among men."No sooner had her words fallen than she distinctly saw a strange change in Leandro's facial expression.His dark eyes were fixed on her, and
Charlotte's breath hitched, she stared at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry..."She said, reaching out to take the phone.Leandro didn't give her a hard time, he simply let go and placed the phone directly in her hand.Charlotte took the phone, her ear burning, and guiltily glanced at Leandro.You didn't see it, did you?The driver ahead was apologizing, saying that a delivery vehicle suddenly rushed out.Leandro didn't say much, "Drive."Larry secretly wiped off his sweat, driving even more cautiously.The carriage fell silent again, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Leandro didn't react, which meant he didn't see it.Actually, it wasn't a big deal even when she saw it, she didn't say much to Elizabeth, it was all words of praise for him!Ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa.Charlotte and Leandro got out of the car, and the two of them walked side by side from the garage to the livi
Leandro was amused by her determined and eager appearance, "I haven't unbuckled my seatbelt yet.""Ah? Oh, then I helped you solve it!"Charlotte blushed, loosened her grip, and bent over to fasten the seatbelt.With a click, the seatbelt released from Leandro's body and retracted.She straightened up and pulled him back: "We flipped in from the side."Upon hearing her words, Leandro's eyebrows twitched, "Mrs. Romero seems familiar."Charlotte glanced at him guiltily and said, "I guessed."In fact, during her student days, Elizabeth used to come to the cemetery when she was being bullied by her stepmother.At first, she didn't know that Elizabeth had come over here until one night when she had a fight with her dad and ran away. Charlotte looked for her in many places but couldn't find her. She was getting desperate and was about to call the police when she suddenly remembered West Cemetery.So she asked Greyson to bring
Charlotte was being led by Leandro towards the exit. Just before they reached the hall, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it a bit impolite for us to leave like this?"Marco didn't like her, but basic courtesy and manners were still necessary.Anyway, he was Leandro's biological father, that's just an undeniable fact.Upon hearing her words, Leandro paused and looked at her with a faint smile, "Mrs. Romero is right, it was indeed a bit impolite."He said, holding her hand, they changed direction and walked towards Marco standing on the side of the stage.Marco was already angry, but his face improved slightly when he saw Leandro turning back.To my surprise, Leandro spoke up and said, "Dad, we have something to do, so we're leaving first."Charlotte quickly spoke up, "Sir Romero, we are leaving now."Marco's face, which had just brightened up, now looked unpleasant again. "Since you're so busy, don't come next time."He sai
She just raised her hand and touched her earlobe, and suddenly felt a rush of heat, followed by Leandro's deep voice sounding in her ear, "I also like Mrs. Romero."Charlotte's ears were originally just turning red, but upon hearing her words, both of her ears turned red, and her face became even hotter.Although she has become much thicker-skinned now, when Leandro said such things to her in public, she still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.Not far away, Marco had already taken the stage.Charlotte looked at it, but her attention was not there at all.Leandro leaned in close, his breath hitting her neck, hot and ticklish. Her mind was buzzing with warmth, with only his words from a moment ago.Because of Leandro's words, she didn't hear what Daisy said to her.After Daisy finished speaking, she went to find Carlo with Diana. It was only then that Charlotte came to her senses and waved her hand gently at her.The l
Charlotte met Daisy's parents today and only then did she find out that Daisy's personality of liking to give things to people is similar to someone's.After Carlo left with the acquaintance from the mall, there were only Diana, Daisy, and her left here.Charlotte had been thinking about whether she would delay Mr. and Mrs. Clements and their acquaintances in greeting, but she didn't expect that as soon as Carlo left, Diana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, he's gone. Having a big man like him here really affects us!"Daisy hummed and nodded, "Exactly, Dad also likes to say empty words. Just now, Lottie could barely keep up with the conversation."Diana took Charlotte's hand and said, "Ms. Bernard, Daisy calls you Lottie. Do you mind if I also call you Lottie? You don't have to pay attention to what Daisy's dad said. He's just been in the business world for too long and likes to put on airs."Charlotte frowned and said, "It's okay, Dian
Daisy gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Green tea man!"How did she not know that Leandro was so two-faced before?Charlotte didn't hear what Daisy said clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, what did you just say?"Daisy naturally didn't want Charlotte to focus her attention on Leandro again. "It's nothing, I'll take you to meet my parents! They would be very happy to see you!"Charlotte didn't refuse either, Daisy remembers the events from five years ago until now, which shows that she is a grateful person.The parents who could raise a grateful daughter like Daisy must have been good.Moreover, Daisy mentioned her already, so there's no better time than the present. Let's meet today, which can also fulfill their wishes."Okay."Charlotte smiled with a curved lip and followed Daisy forward.Along the way, many people looked at them, harboring jealousy towards Daisy's and Charlotte's attitudes.Th
With Daisy's words, Charlotte also started to remember a little.She had forgotten all about it, it was too long ago.After the competition that day, they could have left after the award ceremony, but the organizers suddenly asked them to record a performance video.She was the first one, so the performance video was recorded first.After finishing the recording, she was ready to leave. If she didn't leave soon, her mask would be taken off by someone.But it was quite a coincidence that day, Karissa said she wanted to film a short clip of herself, so she drove her motorboat to the other side to record the video.Just as she finished recording, she was about to leave when she heard someone shouting from the shore.It was already sunset at that time, and it was too far away for her to see clearly. However, following the direction that people on the shore were staring at, she did see a person standing on the reef.At this time, th
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an itch on her cheek.Charlotte froze for a moment, her ears turning slightly red.But her gaze shifted to Daisy beside her, who seemed as if nothing had happened, whispering in her ear, "Five years ago, after you finished the Tolujamo competition, you came back and saved someone who got caught in the rising tide and couldn't make it back to shore. Don't you remember?"That night, Daisy really thought that her fate was there. She had never learned how to swim since she was a child, but she had a natural love for the sea.In my sophomore year, my friends and I went to Tolujamo for a trip. We heard that there was a jet ski competition, so out of curiosity, we all went to watch it.After the competition ended, it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. Daisy brought her DSLR camera and climbed onto the outermost rocks to capture the sunset.She was taking the photos seriously and didn't pay attention
Leandro watched as Charlotte walked away before he averted his gaze. He glanced briefly at Marco and then shifted his focus onto Elvis, saying, "Come with me."Elvis felt guilty under Leandro's gaze, "I didn't go, I was busy!"Marissa slapped Elvis on the palm and said, "Go quickly, Leandro wants to talk to you!""Mom!"Are you stupid or something? Does Leandro look like he has something to say to you?He might be in for a punch like this!Of course, Elvis didn't dare to say that.He also knew that his mother was just pretending to be cunning, but in reality, she was just a naive and innocent person."Go quickly!"Marissa urged again.Elvis gritted his teeth and followed Leandro as they walked out of the banquet hall and directly into the rooftop garden on the second floor."Do you have any complaints about me?"Where did Elvis dare to have any objections to Leandro, but he felt annoyed when he heard
Looking at Charlotte and Daisy in front of him, Marco's emotions were very complicated.On one hand, he didn't want to give Charlotte a good face, but on the other hand, he couldn't be cold in front of Daisy.Charlotte was quite clever, continuing the conversation after Daisy's words, if he were to leave abruptly, Daisy would definitely ask for an explanation.Marco looked for two seconds, but in the end, he couldn't cool down his face and kindly smiled at Daisy, saying, "You're thoughtful."This birthday was quite miserable.Leandro, who was standing next to Charlotte, finally spoke after hearing his response, "Dad."Marco glanced at Leandro and said, "You do remember that I am your father, don't you?"Marissa was afraid of the father and son arguing, so she quickly pulled on Marco's sleeve and said, "Marco, it's such a beautiful day, why are you saying these things?"Marissa said, her gaze falling on Daisy, shifting the topic
