Leandro looked down at her, his black eyes staring straight at her.He slowly undid the button, and Charlotte felt as if she were being tortured.When he was undoing the fourth button, she couldn't help but ask, "Can I sit aside and watch?"This posture, really not suitable for children."It was clearer to see like this."Obviously, it was not possible.She watched in embarrassment as the other person unbuttoned each button, finally opening the shirt to reveal the man's strong chest and well-defined abs.Of course, there were also scattered cases of chickenpox above.Contrary to what Charlotte had imagined, there were not many chickenpox spots, probably around twenty or so. Most of them had already faded, but it had only been a short time, so faint marks could still be seen even after they had faded."I finished reading."She looked up and glanced at Leandro, then she bravely propped herself up on his shoulder and sat down beside him."I'm sorry, Mr. Romero, I didn't know you had chic
Charlotte, as if granted amnesty, quickly got up and said, "Mr. Romero, it's time to eat!"After saying that, she opened the door and went downstairs with Joyce.She walked too fast that she didn't see the turbulent waves in the man's dark eyes after she got up and left.Leandro looked up, raised his hand to shield his eyes, and waited until the emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated before he stood up and walked downstairs.When will the foolish rabbit finally realize his intentions?He was about to, couldn't help it.After realizing that she had truly misunderstood Leandro, Charlotte studied soup cooking with Joyce diligently, and she also prepared lunch with great care.She almost brought out all her lifelong learning to make this lunch. After finishing it, she happily carried the lunchbox and went out to be a "virtuous" wife.Charlotte had beautiful thoughts, but reality was a bit cruel.The receptionist greeted her with great respect upon her arrival, and Charlotte's mood rema
The aroma of the soup and the aroma of the food wafted out, and Charlotte's stomach, which was already starving, immediately let out a howl."Gurgle."There were only two people in the office, her and Leandro. In the quiet environment, suddenly there was a loud noise, very noticeable.Leandro looked up and said, "You worked hard, Mrs. Romero."Charlotte forced a smile and said, "Not difficult."Just unlucky.What on earth is going on?Leandro took out each lunch box from inside, arranged them neatly, wiped the fork with a tissue, and handed it to her, saying, "Eat."Charlotte took the fork and looked at him, casually asking, "Don't you eat, Mr. Romero?"Didn't you just say that you hadn't eaten anything and were hungry?Did she really not taste it? This was made by her own hands."Eat."Charlotte came over without having eaten, so she brought two forks and two bowls.Leandro wiped another pair of forks, scooped a bowl of soup, and just as he was about to take a sip, he noticed that th
After finishing lunch, Charlotte tactfully suggested going back.Leandro arranged for a driver to take her back, but Charlotte quickly refused, saying, "I'll just take the subway back."Before Leandro could speak again, Charlotte added, "If it's going to be this troublesome every time I come over, then I'm sorry, but I won't come anymore."This statement successfully dissuaded Leandro from calling a driver to take her back. "Alright, take care and stay safe.""Uh-huh."Leandro personally escorted the person to the entrance of the company building. He watched as the person walked away before turning around and heading towards the elevator.The receptionist witnessed this scene and the two of them looked at each other. They quickly designated Mrs. Romero as a VIP among the VIPs.This cannot go wrong!Leandro came out of the elevator and as he passed by the secretary's office, he tapped on the glass, saying, "Melvin, come in for a moment."Melvin was suddenly cued, and Jayce became very
When Charlotte remembered Angela and Marcus' engagement banquet, Leandro had already been on a business trip for two days, and tomorrow would be Angela and Marcus' engagement banquet!Damn!She forgot to tell Leandro!The people of Charlotte were stunned. They didn't expect Tiana's mouth to hit the nail on the head this time. Leandro couldn't go!She was very annoyed and had no mood to practice the piano. She picked up her phone and nestled into the nearby sofa, seeking help from Elizabeth: "Liz, Angela is getting engaged to Marcus tomorrow, and I forgot to tell Leandro. He is currently on a business trip out of town..."Elizabeth: !Obviously, Elizabeth also felt speechless about this matter: "... Why don't you pretend to be dead tomorrow and not go? What's the point of going anyway? That scumbag Marcus might even think you're going to steal from him!"Charlotte: ... But that day, they were all just talking big.Elizabeth: It doesn't really matter if you go alone, anyway. No matter w
Charlotte was also dressed up today, but she didn't dress up too prominently.Anyway, tonight is Angela and Marcus' engagement banquet. The one who should steal the show is Angela, as she is the host. If she upstages the guests, she will inevitably be talked about.She didn't want people to say that she intentionally dressed up so grandly today just to steal the limelight, it's all because she couldn't let go of Marcus!She had absolutely no feelings for Marcus now!If it weren't for the impulsive remarks and boasting she made that day, she would definitely not be here today!Charlotte wore a pink one-shoulder long dress today, paired with a pair of silver leather sandals, she looked sweet and fresh.When the car stopped, she hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to Leandro: "Today Marcus and Angela are having an engagement banquet, I'll just go and attend briefly."After sending the message, Charlotte felt something was off. Subsequently, she added another line: "I didn't
The engagement banquet didn't start so soon. Charlotte didn't arrive early, but she didn't arrive late either.She chose a quiet corner and planned to stay for a while before leaving.I didn't expect that she could meet an acquaintance in every place she randomly chose."Ms. Bernard, do you remember me?"Charlotte certainly remembered; this was Leandro's friend Aidan. "Mr. Duncan, hello, long time no see."There was an acquaintance, Charlotte, who wasn't so awkward anymore.Aidan laughed and said, "I didn't expect Ms. Bernard to remember me."Charlotte was taken aback, "We have met twice."Her memory is not so bad.Aidan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Leandro not available today?"Charlotte nodded, "I forgot to tell him about this business trip."Aidan nodded, "No wonder. I thought so, why would Leandro let you come to a place like this alone.""This place?"Charlotte found Aidan's speech quite amusing."Yeah, this kind of place."Charlotte was dumbfounded, "Oh oh oh."Saying is equ
Charlotte looked up and heard the host's words coming through the microphone, "Everyone, please wait a moment, Mr. Gallagher has had a little issue with his clothes."Angela on the stage had already changed into a new gown and was waiting for Marcus to come out and propose.However, at this moment, Marcus was nowhere to be found.It felt familiar.Charlotte had a "dark" thought - Marcus had run away from the wedding again, didn't he?Soon, Angela on the stage proved her idea."Charlotte, are you still there? Charlotte!"Suddenly, Charlotte was completely confused when she was cued.At the same time, the doors of the banquet hall were suddenly pushed open, and a resolute man walked in from there.Just when everyone thought the man was Marcus, he instead walked towards the audience.Aidan raised his hand and said, "Leandro, over here!"If it was a noisy scene, naturally no one could hear Aidan's words.Just when Leandro came in a moment ago, the door suddenly pushed open, and with Angel
"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
There was a moment when Charlotte felt a sense of déjà vu.While daydreaming, Leandro below chuckled lightly and said, "Are you afraid to come down?"Charlotte collected her thoughts and jumped directly into his arms, assuming the right posture.The man's strong arms firmly caught her, and the familiar scent of wood instantly filled the air.Charlotte stared at his sharply defined face, "Leandro, have we met before?"Leandro's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and he gently rocked her in his arms, holding her tighter before speaking, "What do you think?""I must not have seen you before," she muttered, "If we had met before, I wouldn't have been able to forget your face."He made a soft sound of disapproval, and crouched down, picking up the high heels she had jumped into and putting them back on her feet.Charlotte's feet were very itchy. The man lifted her heels with the palm of his hand, while holding a high
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
