After Melvin left, Charlotte returned to the villa and took Leandro's schedule for next week, but she didn't even bother to look at it.
Her mind is now filled with Melvin's words, "Mr. Romero got chickenpox last week, had a continuous fever for three days. We didn't tell you because we were afraid you would worry."
So last week, when she felt that Leandro was deliberately keeping his distance from her, was Leandro having a fever or having chicken pox?
Charlotte thought of this, and her eyes suddenly became warm. She felt that her anger from the past two days was simply unreasonable.
Charlotte told Elizabeth, "Liz, was I too much?"
Elizabeth: Do you still need to ask me this question?
Charlotte: So what should I do then? Apologize?
If apologies were effective, why would we need the police?
Elizabeth: I'll be straightforward, why don't you just confess your feelings to Leandro and make him happy?
Sister, I could only help
Elizabeth finished washing up and came out, still feeling groggy, yawning one after another.But what could she do?Charlotte had already been sitting there eating breakfast. Was she going to go back and sleep again at this time?Elizabeth reluctantly sat down across from Charlotte, she took a sip of warm water and felt more awake. She looked at Charlotte, who was drinking soy milk, and said, "There's something wrong with you, Lottie."Charlotte felt guilty, her hand trembled slightly, and she almost dropped the soy milk in her hand."What's wrong with me? I can tell you haven't woken up yet!"Elizabeth hummed and said, "Stop pretending. Come clean with me, did you have insomnia last night?"She said, looking at Charlotte and noticing that she looked good, "No, you don't have any dark circles. You didn't have insomnia last night! So why did you wake up so early this morning?"She also took a sip of soy milk. "It doesn't matter
Charlotte didn't expect Elizabeth to wake up so soon. When this foolish act was discovered, she immediately felt embarrassed. "Don't you sleep?""Sleeping, I would just get up to relieve myself."Elizabeth yawned as she spoke.Charlotte hummed and said, "I see you're quite energetic. How about we go out now?"What's the point of coming over to see her, even though it's just a small matter?Wasn't your spirit good?What are you still sleeping for!Elizabeth coughed and said, "I'm so tired, I'll sleep a little longer, you keep poking, keep poking.""..."It was excessive!Elizabeth lit the fire and then ran away, leaving Charlotte alone there, feeling indignant.After being caught by Elizabeth, Charlotte felt too embarrassed to continue.She quit Twitter and glanced at the time.Oh, how is it only eight ten?Why does time pass so slowly when it should go fast, and go so quickly when it sh
After Charlotte finished speaking, she immediately hung up the call.Elizabeth on the side clapped directly, "Awesome! You're my idol! It's the first time I've seen someone dare to hang up on Leandro so decisively!""You're not Melvin, how do you know I was the first one to hang up so decisively?""..."Oh no, I exaggerated my abilities!The two of them were talking, and soon, they arrived at their destination.After finishing their meal, Charlotte wanted to go to a high-end store, so the two of them switched to shopping at the mall.Today was also a coincidence, I was in a bad mood and happened to run into someone I didn't want to see when I went out.Before entering the Chanel counter, Charlotte saw Angela and Tiana inside.There they are again, these two annoying people!Elizabeth also saw it, and she instinctively glanced at Charlotte: "How about we go to LV?""Wouldn't that make me look afraid of her?"
Elizabeth was immediately displeased. "Don't even mention Mr. Romero, Charlotte might not even have the time to go."Charlotte followed Elizabeth's words and said, "I did have a lot of work in the second half of the year. If I can't make it then, Ms. Beltran, please don't mind. I will have someone deliver the gift for me."Angela nodded, "It's nothing, as long as Mrs. Romero's intention was understood."She pursed her lips and looked at me with an expression that clearly showed she thought Charlotte wouldn't dare to show up.Tiana hummed and said, "I bet Mrs. Romero didn't dare to go, huh?"Charlotte had been tolerating Tiana for a long time. Upon hearing her words, her face turned slightly cold. "Ms. Flynn, tell me why I dare not go? Is it because of Marcus?"She pursed her lips and made a soft sound, "If I remember correctly, it was me who called off the engagement, and it was Marcus who waited at my house all night, right? Now he's gettin
Dawdling until half past nine, Charlotte finally decided to go home.When she was packing up to leave, Elizabeth suddenly had a change of heart. "Why don't you stay at my place for one night?"Charlotte vented her anger all day, but in fact, she wasn't that angry anymore.In the end, it was just me being melodramatic, and Leandro didn't do anything wrong.The two of them had a cooperative relationship, and he was worried that the relationship would deteriorate, so he paid attention to the distance between them, which was normal.Although sad, he was indeed right."Never mind, I didn't go back tonight. Who knows, tomorrow there might be rumors about my divorce again."She didn't want others to make fun of her all day long, and this kind of thing always happened frequently, inevitably leading to situations that couldn't be resolved.Elizabeth pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll walk you downstairs.""Uh-huh."After
"Okay."Leandro responded with a nod, then suppressed the smile in his eyes and glanced at Elizabeth. "Lottie caused you trouble today, Ms. Farrell."Elizabeth: "?"This was my best friend!Why did you give me trouble?Of course, Elizabeth didn't have the courage to say this to Leandro. She glanced at Charlotte and said, "No trouble at all, Lottie used to come to me often before."Ah, she was truly the best friend in the world!At this time, he still discreetly helped Charlotte touch up her makeup."If Ms. Farrell had time one day, she could come to our house as a guest, and Lottie and I would entertain her well.""Okay, Mr. Romero."After exchanging greetings, Leandro took Charlotte's hand and turned around.Elizabeth watched the back view of the two holding hands and, for some unknown reason, suddenly felt like she was the unwanted one.Charlotte got in the car and only then did she realize that Le
"Did I wake you up?"Charlotte listened to the other person's slightly apologetic words and felt extremely embarrassed, "No, I wanted to go to the bathroom!"Too hasty!I really couldn't help it.After speaking, she quickly got up and walked towards the bathroom.When I got back to the apartment in the evening, Elizabeth insisted on having a latte.She didn't like drinking latte, but when she saw that Starbuck's Vanilla Latte had good sales, she ordered one.I didn't expect such a big cup, and it tasted pretty good. She was playing games and bragging with Elizabeth, occasionally taking a few sips. Unconsciously, she finished drinking it.Well, the retribution has arrived.When I came out of the bathroom, Leandro was still in the room.Seeing her come out, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you still having supper?"Charlotte frowned and said, "How about I cook some spaghetti?""Okay."Leandro spoke as he raised his hand and loosened the buttons of his shirt.Charlotte hadn't seen
Charlotte originally thought that she should have some backbone and not rush to catch up with others just because they were going to pick someone up.Now, however, Elizabeth was informed that Leandro had been waiting for her downstairs for an hour and a half.She was completely clueless, and her attempt to appear aloof was instantly shattered.Charlotte felt more and more guilty, and the delicious beef spaghetti in her mouth became tasteless.She chewed and swallowed the spaghetti in her mouth, glanced at Leandro across from her, and pursed her lips. "Mr. Romero."Leandro had almost finished eating, he looked up at her and made a soft grunt, "Hmm?"She pinched the fork in her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I was chatting with friends last night and didn't pay attention to my phone. I didn't see the message you sent me."Actually, it's not that she didn't see it, she deliberately chose not to respond. Charlotte simply couldn't bring herself to say it out loud.Because she lied, her face be
Watching her guilty look, Leandro chuckled lightly and reached out to touch her, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, if he kicks you out, I'll walk with you."He said, pausing for a moment, "Moreover, he probably won't ask you to leave tonight."Charlotte heard what he said and thought he was just comforting himself. "But what if he really kicks me out? If you go with me, it would be so embarrassing with all the guests watching, right?"Anyway, today was Marco's sixtieth birthday.Most of the guests tonight were influential figures, and if Leandro angrily left with her...Hmm, that scene was too outrageous, she couldn't even imagine it."It wasn't us who was embarrassing."He laughed, speaking in a casual and indifferent manner, as if he didn't care about Marco at all.Charlotte was taken aback: "Okay."She still believed in Leandro.As they were chatting, the car had already driven into the hotel's entrance.
Charlotte was "dismissed" by Greyson when it wasn't mealtime this time, so she had to leave after sending him to the ward.The hospital parking lot was a bit confusing, and Charlotte was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her way and was afraid to enter through the exit of the inpatient department.She had no choice but to walk along the same path she had come from, heading towards the outpatient department, and entering through the exit of the parking lot over there.It was quite a coincidence.When I came, I met Adan and Paola, they were leaving at that moment, and then I ran into them again.Paola, at this time, had clearly cried and was following behind Adan with a resentful expression on her face.Charlotte didn't want to provoke them, so she took a quick glance and averted her gaze. Subconsciously, she slowed down her pace, intending to wait for them to leave before continuing to walk to the parking lot.I didn't want Pao
Charlotte had no idea that she had just greeted Adan, and Paola and Adan, the two siblings, immediately started arguing.She had no intention of getting to know either of these two people on a deeper level, after all, one was of the opposite sex and the other was a meddlesome character.After walking a distance from the outpatient department, Charlotte finally found the building where Greyson was admitted.At that time, the elevators were crowded with people. She waited for two elevators and decided to take the stairs to the fifth floor.Just as Charlotte stepped out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, she saw Orion standing outside the ward door.Charlotte was somewhat surprised and walked quickly over, saying, "Orion, why are you standing here?"When Orion saw Charlotte, he looked up at her, hesitating to speak.Seeing Orion's reaction, Charlotte immediately realized that something was wrong.She glanced into the wa
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief only after receiving Elizabeth's message. If she didn't reply soon, Charlotte planned to drive over and check the situation.She lowered her head and looked at the message Elizabeth replied in Line, raising her eyebrows slightly.Strange.When did Elizabeth become so quiet?Charlotte felt something was off, but couldn't figure out what was wrong at that moment.She put away her phone and decided to go to the hospital to see Greyson.The hospital was crowded on Friday, and Charlotte had a hard time finding a parking space.Charlotte was not very familiar with the parking lot of this hospital, so she had to go around in circles before finding the exit.I went out but found that it was not the exit of the inpatient department, but the exit of the outpatient department.She had just confirmed the direction of the hospital ward when she turned around and saw a familiar face.Adan loo
Aidan looked at her and said, "You speak.""This matter, you know and I know, did it happen?"Aidan was choked for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.""That's good, you do as you please, I have to go to the company."Her colleagues were all asking her on Line if she was planning to quit and not work anymore. Compared to the fact that she slept with Aidan last night, Elizabeth felt that keeping her job was a bit more important!"Are you in a hurry to go to the company? I can give you a ride."Elizabeth subconsciously wanted to shake her head, she really didn't want to have any more contact with Aidan.After all, what happened last night was quite outrageous.But as the words were about to come out, she changed her mind and said, "Well, thank you for your trouble, but my boss thought I quit! I have to hurry to the company and explain!""Your boss wouldn't give you a hard time about what happened last nig
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
