Leandro seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. "This is... fake eyelashes?"
He furrowed his brow, as if his cognition had been shaken.
Charlotte awkwardly pinched off the fake eyelashes and said, "No, it's dirty stuff! Mr. Romero, I'm going in to change clothes! Wait for me for five minutes, oh no, ten minutes!"
Charlotte finished speaking in one breath and then turned around to close the door.
She lowered her head and looked at the false eyelashes pinched between her fingertips, her face becoming even redder.
She didn't want to wear false eyelashes anymore in the future!
After such an embarrassing incident, Charlotte didn't have the mood to bother herself anymore.
Anyway, it wasn't a big party, so she just needed to put on some makeup.
After finishing her makeup, she changed into the small dress she had already picked out, and then chose a pair of pearl earrings to wear. Finally, she checked her appearance one mor
Leandro pulled Charlotte closer to him, avoiding Daisy's embrace.Charlotte didn't expect Daisy to be so enthusiastic. She wanted to hug people as soon as they met.Are the daughters of wealthy families so enthusiastic now?Obviously, it was not.Well, Ms. Clements was quite disgusted with Leandro next to her.Charlotte, however, was not very happy. She had previously mentioned that something was not right with Daisy, but it was just talk. Now, she actually had some doubts about whether Daisy had ulterior motives towards her.Leandro had a cold face and said, "I came with my wife."Charlotte heard what he said and quickly handed over the gift in her hand, easing the slightly awkward atmosphere at the moment. "Ms. Clements, happy birthday. I don't know what you like, so this is just a random gift I prepared."You see, I was so casual, so you can be a little casual too, Ms. Clements.However, things didn't go as planned. W
Leandro's dark eyes sank for a moment when he heard "Lottie". "Are you saying that even if she really liked you, you wouldn't mind?""Respect others' sexual orientations."Anyway, she didn't engage in same-sex relationships."What about me?"Leandro burst into laughter, looking at the woman in front of him who had just contradicted herself, and said, "What am I?"Charlotte blinked her eyes and instinctively replied, "my honey!"Wasn't this thing well-known?"Oh, so Ms. Bernard also knew that I was your honey.""?"Was it her illusion?Why did she feel that Leandro's words had a slightly resentful tone?Charlotte thought about how she had walked in just now, seemingly only focused on chatting with Daisy, and not paying much attention to Leandro beside her.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt guilty and quickly moved to Leandro's side, tiptoeing slightly and whispered in his ear with a voice that only
Charlotte was led by Leandro to the dining area, receiving many glances along the way.There were those who were envious, those who were amazed, those who were puzzled, those who were jealous, and those who were disdainful.Charlotte straightened her back, tightly grasped the man's hand, and passed by them without looking away.Even if it was fake, Mrs. Romero, anyway, no one would know!Leandro noticed her subtle movements, his thin lips slightly curved, holding onto her even tighter.Silly rabbit.The buffet at Daisy's birthday party was quite abundant. There were both traditional and foreign cuisines. Charlotte was initially worried about going home hungry, but she didn't expect to be repeatedly fed by Leandro. She was starting to worry if her stomach would be suspected by others."Are you full?"The man didn't know where to find the food, but it looked delicious.But I couldn't eat anymore, Charlotte forced herself t
Charlotte was really starting to panic this time. "Ms. Clements, I suddenly need to use the restroom..."She spoke while quickly stepping out of the room.Daisy was confused. "Lottie! The bathroom is not over there!"However, as soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte had already run downstairs.Daisy stood there, feeling a bit confused.She was just fine a moment ago, but why did she say something and then run away?Does Charlotte hate her?Thinking of this, Daisy's mood immediately turned sour.Daisy's "yes" immediately pulled Charlotte out of the sugar-coated bullet.She has grown up like this, and actually has been confessed to by many people, but being confessed to by a girl, this is the first time she has encountered it!She had no objections to Daisy's sexual orientation, but as the person being liked, she felt a bit unsure.Charlotte ran while looking for Leandro, and now she deeply regretted leavi
Charlotte handed the phone back to the beautiful young lady, her face still flushed. "Thank you, beautiful sister.""My name was Carlee Hooper.""Okay, beautiful Carlee."Carlee looked at Charlotte and suddenly smiled, "Ms. Bernard is really adorable."Charlotte was taken aback. She was about to speak when Carlee was called away by a friend."Excuse me, Ms. Bernard, we'll talk next time.""It's okay, we'll talk next time."After Carlee left, Charlotte stood alone, feeling a bit bored, but Leandro told her to stay in place and not move.She also didn't dare to move, what if they went to different places and happened to miss each other? Wouldn't that be very awkward?Just then, a waiter came over with a tray of colorful drinks. She casually took a cup and took a sip.It was sour and sweet, quite tasty, with a hint of lemon and a hint of fruit fragrance.Charlotte took another sip, feeling a bit tipsy, and cou
A sudden "honey" caught the attention of most of the people at the party.Charlotte regretted as soon as she shouted, watching Leandro walking step by step from the crowd, she wished she could disappear!Leandro walked directly up to Charlotte and took her hand, asking, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"Her gaze fell on the cup she was holding in her other hand. "Drinking?"Charlotte, who was embarrassed to the point of wanting to hide, heard this and quietly defended herself, "It wasn't alcohol, it was juice."Delicious juice.His black eyes flickered slightly, and Leandro didn't tell her the truth. "Hmm.""Did you go back?""Uh-huh."I returned.If she didn't leave soon, she would become a gorilla in the zoo.And those two women who appeared out of nowhere to humiliate her had already sneaked away before Leandro came.Charlotte was also too lazy to care, and she still couldn't
Meanwhile, Daisy, who was just about to go and find Charlotte, learned from her friend that Charlotte and Leandro had left ten minutes ago.Did you leave?Did you leave so quickly?Daisy's mood visibly dropped, and her friend next to her quickly asked, "Daisy, what's wrong? Why do you seem not very happy?"Daisy glanced at her friend and said, "She seems a bit upset. How did Charlotte leave so quickly?"Daisy's friend: "?"Did you treat Charlotte a little too well?A good friend couldn't help but remind her, "Um, Daisy, it seems like you and Charlotte were rivals!""What love rival relationship? My family has already severed ties with the Romero family!"Daisy's friend: "...because of Charlotte?""It was and it wasn't."Daisy waved her hand; her friend was very puzzled. "Daisy, why are you so good to Charlotte?""She saved me!""But you had already thanked..."The Daisy she knew didn't
The car slowly came to a stop as the traffic light turned red.Just as Charlotte looked at Leandro again, the man also turned his head towards her.Their eyes met, and Charlotte's mind went blank for two seconds, her ears instantly turning red.The black pupils moved slightly, "Is it good-looking?"Charlotte's face flushed. "...It's beautiful."How else could I have watched all the way?Leandro tapped his hand on the steering wheel and said, "Can we look at it when we get home?"He said, slightly furrowing his brows, seeming a bit distressed and troubled, "When you look at me like this, I easily get distracted while driving, which is not very safe."Charlotte listened to his words, and for a moment, she was stunned. Without thinking, she instinctively clenched her own thigh and said, "I'm sorry, I will never look again."Oh no, how embarrassing.However, Leandro seemed to know what she was thinking, and suddenly c
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
