Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Was it really that painful?"
"..."
Is this a difficult question to answer?
Charlotte turned her head to the other side, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead.
The man just sat closer, and the refreshing scent of wood on his body occasionally wafted over, always enticing her to lean towards him.
Charlotte was struggling between reason and morality, and finally welcomed the dawn of victory. Her blood test report finally came out!
All indicators in the report were normal.
Charlotte quickly stood up from her chair and said, "Mr. Romero, let's go home!"
Go home, worst case scenario, she can count ten thousand sheep to fall asleep.
"Better go see a doctor."
Charlotte remembered the doctor's ghostly gaze and had no courage to go back and see him.
"Go back, go back!"
She couldn't care about being reserved at the moment, and instinctively she grabbed Leandro's arm and
Charlotte woke up the next day close to eleven o'clock, got up and realized she was still wearing a dress. The events of last night slowly came back to her mind.She was sober and rational when the incident happened, but she couldn't help but hug and kiss Leandro.Obviously, alcohol gave him courage.After realizing that she had done something absurd again, Charlotte felt extremely embarrassed but did not feel the slightest bit of regret.She was indeed influenced by Elizabeth!She raised her hand and rubbed her face, and her stomach made a grumbling sound, expressing its emptiness.Charlotte quickly got out of bed and, while changing her clothes, she realized that the zipper of her skirt was open!Did she not zip up when she went to the party last night?It's impossible. She checked it carefully before going out, and the zipper was closed properly. Now, after waking up from a nap, the zipper is open!Last night, there w
Charlotte worked diligently in the piano room all afternoon. After finishing the last piece, her fingers were sore.Holding her phone, she didn't really want to open it.But there were just too many unread messages, so she had to put her phone on the table and, while rubbing her fingers, open the message box.Caroline: "How is your leg recovering? Are you able to work again? The Sounnes Concert abroad has invited you to play the opening piece."Elizabeth: "How was it? Did Ms. Clements look for you today?"Believe it or not, Daisy is right below Elizabeth.Daisy: "Lottie, are you angry? I'm sorry, but can you please make it clear to me? Like, how did I make you dislike me?" She sent a sad cat emoji.Daisy sent this message at around three in the morning. Charlotte originally didn't want to reply, but when she saw her pitiful expression, her damn soft heart gave in!Charlotte pondered for a moment and sent a tactful reply: "I was
Leandro said he wouldn't smile if he didn't want to, the smile at the corner of his thin lips disappeared, his black eyes fixed on her, his whole demeanor serious and earnest, making Charlotte feel like she was sitting at a negotiation table.Under the gaze of her black eyes, it took only five seconds for her to surrender. She raised her hand and placed the phone on the table in front of him.Seeing Leandro reaching out to take the phone, Charlotte quickly raised her hand and held onto it, saying, "Mr. Romero, promise me you won't laugh after I finish watching."As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand.Charlotte was startled for a moment, and then her gaze dropped down to see the man's hand resting on top of hers.Her ears turned red, and she instinctively withdrew her hand.Leandro glanced at her and said, "I wouldn't smile."She was already feeling embarrassed, and when he said that, Charlotte fel
The car had just pulled out of the parking lot when there was a loud bang in the sky, and pea-sized raindrops started falling pitter-patter.Charlotte stood by the window, holding a cup, and looked at the distant dark and silent scene. She couldn't help but click her tongue.It seems that the rain will probably last for half a day today.She stood and watched the rain for a while, drank the water in her cup, went to the water dispenser at kitchen island to get another cup of water, and planned to go upstairs to continue practicing the piano.At that moment, a sound came from the entrance hall.Charlotte was startled and looked up to see a man walking in expressionlessly.She instinctively called out, "Mr. Romero."Leandro glanced at her and then crossed the kitchen island, heading towards the basement level.Charlotte blinked her eyes and felt that Leandro was a bit strange today.At this moment, Joyce came out of the ki
The wine was not tasty, and the sugar was sweet.Leandro lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, he directed his hand towards the bottle opener in his hand and put the unopened bottle of wine back.Last night, he walked back to his previous position, sat down again, and reached out to take a candy from her palm.He unwrapped the candy and raised his hand to throw it into his mouth.The moment the soft candy was touched, a slight sour taste instantly spread on the taste buds, followed by a mouthful of mango flavor.He bit open the soft candy, and the sweetness immediately covered the sour taste from earlier.It was sweet.She was right.However, he was a bit greedy for more.Leandro turned his head and looked at Charlotte, who had been looking at him all along, and said, "Not sweet enough, a little sour.""Ah?"Charlotte was immediately embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the mango candy is a bit s
The sudden eye contact caught Charlotte off guard, leaving her completely bewildered.No, didn't you fall asleep?How can these eyes open as soon as they open?Her mind went blank for a moment, and her ears and face reacted quickly, already turning completely red.Charlotte felt her face burning hot. She looked at Leandro for a while before stammering, "You, you were asleep, weren't you?""No."Couldn't sleep?Didn't Leandro know what she had just done?This realization made Charlotte want to escape, but she couldn't escape!The man's hand was still gripping her wrist, and she tried to struggle, but he held on even tighter.The next second, Charlotte heard the other person ask in a deep voice, "What were you doing just now, Ms. Bernard?"Faced with the questioning of the parties involved, Charlotte's mind went blank. She looked at him in extreme embarrassment and said, "I, I think I was drunk, Mr. Romero."
Just as she was at a loss, Charlotte suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I've got it!""Is that so?"I don't know why, but Charlotte felt that every time Leandro said "Is that so?", he didn't believe her.As soon as she heard this sentence, she felt a bit embarrassed and guilty reflexively, "Really, really!""Oh."He responded with a sound, released the hand that had fallen on her back, but the left hand on her back remained unretracted.Charlotte could feel him gently touching her cervical vertebrae, each touch was light, as if he had touched her, yet as if he hadn't."You got drunk twice before, and both times you really enjoyed it when I touched you.""I, I don't remember.""Shall I help you remember?"Charlotte was dumbfounded when she heard what he said.She had no idea how to respond to this statement!How else can this be taken?"Just kidding."Just as she was at a loss, the ma
Charlotte sat on the ground for a while, thinking that it had been quite some time since the two of them went down. If they didn't go back up soon, Joyce would probably call the police.It was just the drunk Leandro...Charlotte stood up, leaning on the wine cabinet behind her. She looked down at the man still sitting there and said, "Mr. Romero, shall we go upstairs?"Upon hearing her words, the man lifted his head and looked at her for a moment with his dark eyes, asking, "What are you going up for?"Listen!Is this the kind of question that Leandro would normally ask?"I went upstairs to have a meal."She said, reaching out her hand, and pulled him up.He got up with her help and said, "I had no appetite."Drunk, of course, the appetite was not good!"Did you go up to rest?"He furrowed his brows, pondering her proposal earnestly.After about five seconds, he nodded.Charlotte worried that
At this moment, Charlotte was so embarrassed that she could count out a three-bedroom apartment. She dared not look at Leandro, and could only stare at the traffic light in front of the windshield, counting the numbers one by one."10-9-7-8...1! Green light!"She turned her head and blushed as she glanced at Leandro.The green light is on, the green light is on, let's drive quickly!As for the previous question, let's not pay any more attention to it.Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes slightly flickered, and then he averted his gaze and started the car again.Forget it, I didn't want to bother her.Joyce saw Charlotte and Leandro coming back together and was a little surprised. "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero..."She thought that only Charlotte would come back for lunch, so she didn't prepare it for Leandro.Although she made three dishes, they were all small portions. Charlotte alone couldn't finish them all, and even with Leandro, it was definitely not enough to eat.When Joyce saw Lean
After leaving the ward, Charlotte asked him, "Why did you suddenly come over?"Leandro looked at her and chuckled, "If I didn't come over, this son-in-law would have been incompetent."Charlotte was a bit embarrassed and said, "Dad, I know you were busy.""No matter how busy, we don't lack that little bit of time," he took her hand, "Besides, today is Saturday, it's supposed to be a day off."Charlotte glanced up at him and remembered the phone incident. "Did they find out who called my dad? When I took his phone earlier, I checked his call history, but it was completely deleted."Leandro looked down at her and said, "I haven't found anything yet. That person is very cunning, they always call with a virtual number."Virtual numbers, you couldn't find out who the person on the other side was at all."Okay."Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "What if she kept calling my dad with a virtual number? Are we just supposed to sit and wait for it?""Don't worry too much, if the other person
Greyson paused for a moment, then let out a sigh.The Romero family's situation, he also didn't want to interfere too much, so he just patted his daughter's hand to show comfort.Leandro's mother, Greyson, actually met a few times in the past, and she was remembered as a beautiful and gentle woman.Just unfortunate, she got breast cancer in her thirties and passed away before she turned forty.This incident was quite sensational at that time because for a period of time, many people said that Leandro's mother had committed suicide, otherwise how could it have happened on Marco's birthday.Of course, these are all rumors, and no one knows what is true or false.Greyson has never been a person who gossips behind others' backs. Although he knew about these things, he couldn't distinguish the truth from falsehood, so he naturally didn't bring them up to Charlotte."Then these days, you spent more time with Leandro, he was also having a hard time."At the age of around ten, he lost his bio
Charlotte woke up to the bright daylight. As soon as she opened her eyes, the dazzling sunlight startled her.She instinctively raised her hand to block, squinted her eyes, and grabbed the phone from the side.After checking the time, Charlotte's remaining drowsiness instantly disappeared.It was half past eight!She slept until half past eight!This was not the scariest thing for her. The scariest part was that she couldn't even remember how she fell asleep last night.Charlotte quickly sat up from the bed and ran her fingers through her hair. After that, she began to ponder how she had fallen asleep last night.The memories of last night were starting to awaken, but she thought about it several times and could only remember herself passionately kissing Leandro.What happened to the rest of the memories?Charlotte felt more and more scared!No way, no way, she didn't fall asleep while kissing Leandro last night, did she?This realization made her face instantly heat up. Charlotte rai
The room was very quiet. Leandro patiently waited for a while, but in the end, he couldn't resist the longing in his heart and body. He turned his head, as if testing the waters, and gently kissed Mrs. Romero on the side of her face, almost as if he was asking for something.However, just now he was leaning against his Charlotte, but at this moment there was no response, no movement. Just now, there was a slight rapid breathing, but now it has become very calm."Lottie?"Leandro put the person on the bed and then realized that Charlotte was already asleep.He looked at the person sleeping on the bed, silently chuckling, and somewhat helplessly, he gently lifted her onto the pillow, then pulled over the thin blanket from the side and covered her with it.It can be seen that Charlotte was really tired. When the blanket was placed over her, she reached out and pulled it a bit, then she turned to the side and continued sleeping.Leandro sat on the bed and looked at her for a while, confir
"Social news?"Leandro glanced at her with a meaningful look.Charlotte raised her hand and touched her earlobe, "If we had been caught just now, the cemetery keeper would have called the police...""Why?"When it comes to this issue, Charlotte felt guilty.She couldn't say that she was quite familiar with the gravedigger.Charlotte didn't recognize the person at first, but just now she saw a familiar figure in the rearview mirror.Upon closer inspection, isn't it the gravedigger who caught her and Elizabeth five years ago?He was quite dedicated to his job and had been working for five years, still being so diligent."I, I just guessed."The traffic light was red, and Leandro smirked, but he didn't expose her.The cemetery is still a bit far from the downtown area, and it was already past 11 o'clock at night when the car returned to the community.Returning to the villa, there were only five minutes
"Can I hug you?"Charlotte subconsciously shook her head, not wanting Leandro to just bend down and pick her up: "Let me hold you instead, what if the gravekeeper comes back later?"Her face turned red, she pursed her lips, raised her hand and hooked it around his neck, obediently responding with a soft "Oh."Leandro carried the person and quickly returned to the place where the two of them had just jumped down.When they arrived, Charlotte realized that when they had entered, there were stones. However, there were no stones in this cemetery.Or, even if there were stones, they were cleared out by the cemetery staff.She looked up at the wall that was neither tall nor short, and said, "What should I do?"Can't we stay here tonight?Thinking of this, she looked around and saw tombstones as far as the eye could see.Don't say, it's quite scary.Charlotte quickly averted her gaze and instinctively leaned into Leandro
A gust of wind blew over, and Charlotte felt a chill on her chest. She exclaimed, "Oh!" and obediently followed him back.The cemetery in the night was very quiet, and the sound of the wind seemed particularly loud.The two of them had only walked halfway back when suddenly a flashlight beam shone towards them.Charlotte instinctively grabbed Leandro and said, "Run quickly!"She spoke while lifting her skirt and running to one side."Who?"In the distance, there was the scolding voice of the gravekeeper. Charlotte pulled Leandro and crouched behind a tombstone, "Quick, hide!"Seeing how nervous she was, Leandro had no choice but to crouch down with her.He crouched behind her, his chest almost touching her back.Charlotte listened to the breathing sound in her ears, half of her thoughts on the gravekeeper and the other half on the person behind her.As the footsteps of the gravekeeper grew closer, her heartbeat qu
Upon hearing his voice, Charlotte instinctively looked forward.Leandro's mother's tomb was separate, semi-circular in shape, occupying nearly ten square meters.On the black tombstone, which was over one meter tall, the black and white photo on it appeared clear under the moonlight.This was the first time Charlotte saw a photo of Leandro's mother, and the woman in the photo was so beautiful that she couldn't find words to describe her for a moment.If you look closely, it can be seen that Leandro inherited almost 90% of his mother's appearance.The woman in the photo had long hair that reached her shoulders, and there was a hint of pitifulness in her gentle appearance. Just looking at her photo made people unable to resist feeling pity for her."Mom looked so beautiful."As beautiful as her mommy.Charlotte glanced at Leandro and earnestly praised him.Leandro laughed and said, "She would be very happy if she could hea
