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
How should this question be answered?How could she not be moved?But what was their relationship?They were a fake couple!Charlotte glanced at Leandro and quickly said, "You go eat, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep, goodnight!"After saying that, she turned around and ran away!In just five or six seconds, a "bang" of the closing door was heard.The man looked at the closed door of the guest room and curved his thin lips, a smile appearing in his dark eyes. "Did your heart skip a beat?"Hmm, that's great.Lying in bed, Charlotte listened to the sound of her rapidly beating heart, grateful that she had run fast, otherwise she would have been done for!Liz said it well, a man like Leandro, no woman could resist being attracted to him.Charlotte couldn't help but sigh, regretting her unwarranted thoughts.Be more dedicated, Charlotte!You are currently cooperating with each other and benefiti
"Is that so?"Leandro took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped his hands.Charlotte heard these words, and her hands trembled beneath her. "Yes, yes."She said and chuckled, "Mr. Romero, you go to work, I occasionally have a poor appetite."Leandro looked at her for a moment and said, "Hmm."He did not ask any further and got up from the table.He took two steps and then stopped, turning around to look at Charlotte, who was relieved. "Yesterday afternoon, thank you," he said."No, no need to thank."She was the one who caused more trouble compared to him.Leandro averted his gaze, turned around, and went upstairs.Soon, Charlotte saw him coming down from upstairs, having tied his tie."Safe travels, Mr. Romero."Charlotte raised her hand and waved, Leandro glanced at her and responded faintly with a "Hmm" before leaving.Soon, Charlotte heard the sound of a car engine outside.She purs
When Charlotte went back, she only saw Marcus and his girlfriend.This time, Marcus didn't see her.On the contrary, her girlfriend was looking at her thoughtfully.Charlotte didn't want to cause trouble, so she glanced briefly and then quickly walked back to her seat.Their seats were by the window, about ten meters away from the spot where Marcus had just stopped them. Leandro was unaware of what had happened just now.When he saw her come back, he handed the menu to her and said, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."Charlotte glanced at him, took the menu, lightly bit her lip, made her selection, and handed the menu back to Leandro. "I just ran into Marcus earlier," she said."Hmm?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did he trouble you?"Charlotte shook her head and then nodded, "He stopped me and told me some strange things."She was completely unaware of what Marcus meant.
The sound of "Lottie" that Marcus just made was not small, and all the diners around the table heard it.Of course, his companion naturally heard it too.Odelia Vance had already heard about the affair between Charlotte and Marcus.Charlotte and Leandro were already married, and she didn't think Marcus would anger Leandro at this time.Over the course of their relationship, Marcus was still good to her. He didn't show much interest in other women and, overall, he can be considered loyal.Of course, back then, Charlotte and her affair with him caused quite a stir, so naturally she was worried that Marcus might have a soft spot for other women.However, Lydia was the only one left as Marcus had personally sent everyone away, so she didn't have to worry about this issue.Putting aside all of this, let's take a look at Marcus, who was also a good man.In general, Odelia was quite satisfied with Marcus in all aspects.The onl
Leandro looked at her, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?"The question was thrown back at her.Charlotte was embarrassed. She already felt a bit guilty when she asked this question, and now that he threw the question back at her, she didn't have the courage to continue speaking.She gently squeezed Swiftbolt's belly with her legs, and Swiftbolt took a few steps forward."Did we go back?"Leandro looked at his watch and said, "Do you still want to continue?"Charlotte shook her head and felt a little embarrassed, "I was a bit hungry.""Shall we go for dinner? Eat outside?"At this time, Joyce probably hadn't made dinner yet.Charlotte thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.The two of them changed back into their regular clothes and came out of the stable, it was already almost half past five.Charlotte remembered that she had not told Joyce that she would not be coming home for d
"Charlotte!"When Charlotte heard someone calling her, at first she thought it was an illusion, until she heard it for the second time.She tightened the reins and made Swiftbolt stop.At the same time, the person calling her also rode over on a horse.She didn't know who was calling her until the person got closer.Leandro's younger brother - Elvis.The other person looked at her with a contemptuous expression, and Charlotte didn't need to think to know that this Elvis was probably going to say something unpleasant again.If it was in the past, she would not hesitate to choose to curse back.But now things are different, she and Leandro have been playing a game for real, and in the face of her younger brother-in-law, she has to have a bit of an elder's demeanor.Not to mention, Leandro has already offended two of his three close relatives.This last one, Charlotte was indeed quite troubled.If she also off
Leandro quickly took her back. He dismounted first, then handed Windchaser over to a staff member to take care of, and then took her to the stable to choose a horse.Charlotte can ride a motorboat and play the piano, but when it comes to riding a horse, she really doesn't know how. She can only watch Leandro with longing eyes and say, "I don't know how."Leandro laughed and pointed to a white horse, "Can Swiftbolt do? This is Michael's horse, it has a gentle temperament.""Okay."The good horses were all fostered here by these enthusiasts, while the horses in the other stable were for ordinary tourists to choose from. A comparison immediately reveals the difference.Even the gentle Swiftbolts, they looked much more imposing than they actually were, she certainly had no objections.The caretaker led Swiftbolt out, and Leandro asked Charlotte to get acquainted with Swiftbolt first.Once Swiftbolt became familiar with Charlotte's scent,
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
