Charlotte stared at Marcus in disbelief as she had never thought Marcus would say such things.It seemed that he still believed that she would forgive him and be with him again as long as he said a few sweet things.The gentle and kind young man only existed in her memories. He had changed. Charlotte realized it a long time ago, but she never wanted to accept it.She lowered her eyes and stared at her phone. Finally, she snapped.She dialed Leandro's number. Overwhelmed by anger and disappointment, she only had one thought in mind.She wanted Leandro to come here and take her away.After she listened to the dialing tone for about five seconds, Leandro picked up. "Hello, Mrs. Romero."Hearing his cold and lazy voice, Charlotte clenched her phone tighter. "Honey. Dinner is over. Come over and bring me home.""Honey?"Leandro was sitting lazily in the car before. When he heard the endearment, he sat up straight, his slender fingers touching the top button on his collar. With a small twit
Meanwhile, in a black Bentley, someone ordered the car to stop abruptly. The driver immediately pulled over.Sitting in the front passenger's seat, Melvin was shocked by the sudden order as well. He tentatively looked back at Leandro and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Romero?""You're dismissed. Get out of the car and take a taxi home. The company will cover the expense."Melvin expected a raging Leandro. During the business dinner, Ryder Suarez, one of the guests, had the audacity to invite a woman over and set her up with Leandro. Leandro had left the restaurant with a stony face and hadn't uttered a word until the phone call 30 seconds ago.Receiving Leandro's order, Melvin hastily gestured for the driver to get out of the car. The two exited the car swiftly.Leandro got out of the car, too. But he strode to the driver's seat with his long legs and sat on it in a fluent motion.Soon, the Bentley drove off, leaving Melvin and the driver on the side of the road.15 minutes later, the Bent
Greyson was pleased by Leandro's answer. He took a sip of his tea and said, "Trust is the most important thing in a marriage."It was both a comment and a warning.Leandro spoke with Greyson humbly. After a while, Greyson wisely left, giving some privacy to him and Charlotte.After Greyson went upstairs, Charlotte and Leandro were alone in the living room.He put down his cup gracefully and tilted his head to look at Charlotte, who was sitting next to him. He arched a brow. "Shall we go home now, Mrs. Romero?"Charlotte thought, "He's good at playing along." But she replied awkwardly, "I'm sorry. Marcus is persistent. Maybe we can go out and have a light meal. What do you think?"She understood that her action was out of the line. She called Leandro over to pick her up but refused to leave when he arrived.She pursed her lips, feeling so guilty that she was afraid to meet Leandro's eyes.Leandro was a smart man and grasped Charlotte's unsaid words immediately. He stretched his long le
"Excuse me?"Before Charlotte could react, her left hand was suddenly gripped by a large hand, and the next second, she felt something both hard and soft.Leandro, who was squatting in front of her, was tilting his head slightly, allowing her to touch his Adam's apple.Charlotte quickly pulled her hand away. "I..."She thought, "I was just thinking about it. I didn't really mean to touch it..."Leandro lowered his head and looked at her. "Don't you want to touch it? You are curious, aren't you?""No, I..."Charlotte went speechless again, looking at him with unprecedented embarrassment."You sure you don't want to touch it? It's not too much to satisfy your curiosity, Mrs. Romero."He said it casually as if it were something as ordinary as having dinner.With that, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.When Charlotte saw that, her mind went blank, and inexplicably, she reached out to touch it."How does it feel?"When Charlotte realized what she had done, she was so ashamed of herself.
Marcus had not recovered from the shock when he saw their car drive past him and go into the distance.He didn't come to his senses until the car turned around the corner and disappeared. Then he quickly turned back to his car.Marcus had known Charlotte for twelve years and had never heard that she knew Leandro. And he knew Greyson and Leandro didn't have any kind of friendship. Charlotte and Leandro got married all of a sudden, and Marcus didn't believe there was anything between them.Not long after the car left the villa, it came to a steady stop at a red light. Leandro glanced in the rearview mirror, his thick lashes flapping down, blocking the coldness inside of his eyes.Soon the green light came on, and he started the car again.Ten minutes later, the car stopped again."Mrs. Romero!"Charlotte was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed. With the incident of touching Leandro's Adam's apple before going out, she couldn't face him calmly now.She didn't know what was wrong wit
With a slight sound, in the driver's seat, Leandro had already unfastened the seat belt.He pushed the car door but didn't get out. With his left hand on the steering wheel, he slightly turned toward Charlotte. "We are home, Mrs. Romero."After saying that, he leaned over and unfastened her seatbelt.Charlotte froze for a while. The fragrance of the woods filled her nose. She didn't dare to move at all.Luckily, Leandro got out of the car after unfastening her seatbelt.He went to the back of the car, helped her put down the wheelchair, and carried it to the door to the garage.There were three steps on the way out of the garage. Right after Charlotte jumped one step up, Leandro came back after putting the wheelchair down to carry her up."I can do it myself."Leandro looked down at her but didn't have any intention of putting her down at all. He said, "It's not the first time. Mrs. Romero, you don't have to be so polite."After he said this, Charlotte was already carried to the sitti
Charlotte wore an angry face when she saw Marcus. She knew that Marcus wouldn't give up.She compressed her lips and looked up at Leandro. "I don't think I'm going home tonight," she said with embarrassment.Charlotte clasped her hands tightly. She was really afraid that Leandro would say no."It's nice if you can move here early."As Leandro turned off the TV, the surveillance video was gone.Leandro put down the remote control, looked at Charlotte, and added calmly, "I forgot to tell you that the place has only one bedroom."Charlotte was stunned to hear that.She wondered if he was kidding her.Charlotte didn't believe it. After a pause, she said tentatively, "It's a big villa. Just one bedroom?""Looks like you don't believe me."With that, Leandro got up and walked up to her.Staring at him, Charlotte asked, "What... What are you doing?""I'm going to show you around," he replied.Charlotte smelt the crisp fragrance growing stronger as Leandro leaned closer to her. When he picked
Before Charlotte had a chance to explain, she received a ton of messages from Elizabeth."Lottie, did you guys progress so quickly?""Mr. Romero wasn't really secretly in love with you for years, and now he's finally gotten his wish to marry, right?""Hahaha, if you're at this point at Mr. Romero's house, wouldn't Marcus be furious?""Marcus was at the door, were you planning to stay overnight at Mr. Romero's house tonight? Oh, sorry, I should say your house, you're married, joint property of husband and wife!""Lottie, you really nailed it this time! I'm impressed! Seriously impressed! Leandro is indeed a catch, don't hesitate, you guys got your marriage license, it's legal!""But for now, let's not cause any fatalities, remember to use protection. I won't disturb you guys anymore, okay!"Charlotte saw the message from Elizabeth, her hand trembled, and the phone slipped directly onto the bed, bounced, and with a "clatter", it fell to the ground.Meanwhile, the sound of a door opening
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
