Charlotte: "..."
Elizabeth: "Outrageous!"
This plague cannot be avoided no matter how one tries to hide from it!
When Lauren saw Charlotte and Elizabeth, her face turned sour.
The Gallagher family was often criticized because of Charlotte.
A couple of months ago, Charlotte stayed indoors and didn't go out. Lauren was frustrated but couldn't express her anger. Today, they bumped into each other, and she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity: "What bad luck! Today was going well, and I run into you, the jinx!"
Charlotte rolled her eyes and since she had encountered it, she couldn't be bothered to avoid it.
She treated Lauren as if she were transparent, and both Elizabeth and she walked straight past Lauren.
Lauren was completely ignored and became so angry that she stomped her foot and said, "Stop! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"
She stepped in front of Charlotte and Elizabeth, wearing high heels.
Charlotte de
"Did not...""Why are you so angry?"Charlotte calmed down completely, sighed, and said softly, "Actually, it was me who forced him to marry me back then!""!"Elizabeth was shocked: "You didn't say that at first, did you?"Back in the day, when Charlotte mentioned to her that they should get married and work together, Leandro agreed without hesitation.So she always knew that Charlotte's marriage to Leandro was not real, and occasionally she would make jokes, but she always knew where to draw the line.But now it seems that it was not quite the case...Charlotte was embarrassed and said, "Back then, I wasn't solely focused on getting away from the Gallagher family. I was afraid you would think poorly of me, so I told a little lie!""You've made progress, Lottie."Is this a little lie?Charlotte waved her hand and said, "Just average, third in the world."Elizabeth: "..."She realized that Cha
Charlotte had no idea that Leandro had already seen her "heroic act". She slept all the way in a daze. When the car arrived at the villa gate, the driver called her twice before she opened her eyes. She took out 10 dollars from her wallet and said, "No need to look for change, sir!"After paying the fare, Charlotte rubbed her eyes while searching for her keys inside her bag.She searched for a long time, almost emptying everything inside her bag, but still couldn't find it.Forget it.Joyce should have been cooking now.She raised her hand and pressed the doorbell, but to her surprise, the person who opened the door was not Joyce, but Leandro, who had just finished swimming and was wrapped in a towel.Charlotte was a little sleepy, but this suddenly woke her up completely!"Why were you at home?"Weren't you at the company?"Just came back.""Oh, oh, oh, just came back and went swimming."So disciplined!
Charlotte knew that Leandro had a good figure, but she didn't know it was this good!She watched as the man walked towards her step by step, and inexplicably swallowed.Realizing what she had done, Charlotte's ears turned red in an instant, and that redness quickly spread from her earlobes to her cheeks.Soon, Leandro approached her and Charlotte instinctively took a step back."Looking for me?"Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes slightly flickering.Charlotte looked at the close-up abs and suddenly felt thirsty again. She quickly brought the cup of water in her hand to her mouth and took a big sip before speaking, "I'll just go for a walk.""Oh."Leandro didn't say anything else and turned around, jumping into the pool.The splashing water splashed onto her skirt and some splashed onto the back of her feet.Cool and refreshing, completely different from the scorching heat above my head.Her gaze subconsc
Leandro's gaze paused on her face and then swam to the shore.He said he didn't look, and he really didn't look.After getting out of the water, the person went straight to the shower, leaving Charlotte alone in the pool.Without Leandro, Charlotte wasn't as awkward anymore. She quickly paddled and swam to the shore.The dress on the body got wet, and the whole dress became heavy and sticky.Charlotte stood by the pool, looking down at the water continuously flowing down her body. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should go into the villa or head to the shower room.However, soon Leandro came out with a towel.He wrapped a towel around her. "Go back quickly, don't catch a cold. I'll pick up the cup for you.""Not..."Forget it, no matter how much I explain, it can't hide her embarrassment.Charlotte glanced at him awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero."I don't know why, but every time somethin
Leandro didn't speak anymore, and Charlotte also got hungry, bowing her head and earnestly nibbling on the chicken wings.Charlotte liked to eat in small bites. She ate slowly, compared to men who ate quickly and politely. By the time the other person finished eating, she had only eaten half of her meal.It's not a big deal actually, everyone has their own eating speed.After Leandro finished eating, he did not leave the table and sat there watching her.Charlotte would never be so conceited as to think that Leandro was looking at her because she looked good. Perhaps Leandro didn't leave his seat out of courtesy and was waiting for her.In consideration of both parties, she instinctively hastened her eating speed.After finishing the last bite of food, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leandro across from her, saying, "I am full, Mr. Romero.""Um."Leandro nodded and raised his hand, placing the phone in
Forget it.Leandro probably doesn't remember what happened that night. Mr. Romero, being a busy person, considered that little incident of that evening as insignificant in his prosperous life.This photo was indeed beautiful, and it also matched Leandro's style quite well.If the protagonist in the photo was her, Charlotte thought it would be even better.Charlotte thought and thought, and decided not to break the ice, so as to avoid any awkwardness between them.In case she simply thought the photo looked nice and used it as a screensaver, her rush to claim it would seem too "calculating".Forget it.Charlotte realized that she had acted impulsively and quickly tried to make up for it, "Actually, if you look closely, this photo has a lot of artistic appeal. It would indeed make a great screensaver."She looked at herself in the photo, her face burning hot. In order to not give herself away, she had to pretend to be calm and sa
Last night, Charlotte ran away again.When Charlotte mentioned this to Elizabeth, she blushed uncontrollably again and said, "Liz, I feel like if things continue like this, I'll be doomed sooner or later!"Elizabeth: "Don't be a coward, Lottie! You two are legally married now, just go for it boldly!"Charlotte touched her flushed cheek and said, "No, we had a contract!"Elizabeth: "Tsk tsk tsk, when it comes to relationships, even contracts can be nullified! As long as you truly like him, just go for it! What's there to be afraid of! At worst, you can still enjoy a few freebies, right? A man like Leandro, you won't lose out, right?"Charlotte: "..."She knew it!Elizabeth's mind was filled with nothing but yellow waste!Elizabeth sent many more messages afterwards, but all of them were similar.Charlotte felt too embarrassed to reply. Was that something a single woman could say?It's outrageous!She took he
"Are you threatening me?"Marco had lived for most of his life, and it was the first time he had encountered someone daring enough to threaten him!Charlotte felt innocent. "How did I threaten you? Isn't trust the most important thing between spouses? Leandro will definitely know about you coming to see me today.""He would definitely ask me what you said today if he found out, so of course I would tell him the truth, right?"Charlotte paused for a moment and said, "Or should I say, do you always speak in a secretive manner with your wife?"This almost made Marco furious, even his assistant Rene Snyder on the side wanted to speak up and reprimand Charlotte.At this moment, however, there came a noise from the entrance hall.Several people in the living room instinctively looked towards the entrance, where Leandro, dressed in a black suit, appeared with a serious expression on his face.Upon seeing Leandro, Charlotte instinctive
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
