Leandro just got up, her voice was very low, but there were only the two of them in the room.In such a quiet environment, he naturally heard everything clearly.After Charlotte finished speaking, everyone became timid. They pulled the blanket up and directly covered themselves."I slept."A muffled sound came from inside the blanket, and Leandro looked at the bulging spot, lowered his head against his lips, and chuckled deeply.The hoarse laughter spread in the room, Charlotte listened and felt her face getting hotter and hotter.Well, she has become more and more shameless now.Aunt Flo arrived as expected, and Charlotte instantly transformed from a vibrant sunflower into a withered winter rose.It was probably because she caught a cold when she saved Daisy last month. At that time, she had just finished her period. Although it was summer, she had recently recovered from a car accident and was weak, making her susceptible to catching a cold.So this time's period was very unfriendly
In a daze, Charlotte seemed to hear Leandro's voice.She slightly opened her eyes, the light coming in through the windows was a bit dazzling. She squinted her eyes and, after adjusting to the light, finally fully opened her eyes.Looking at Leandro sitting beside her, she was somewhat surprised and blinked her eyes, "Did I sleep the whole day?"Can't I?Leandro looked at her pale lips, raised his hand and helped her up, holding her in his arms. "No, I will come back after the meeting."Charlotte was dumbfounded, "I was just on my period."She said so, but her lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile."There was nothing to do today."He held her in his arms, with one hand supporting her and the other resting on her abdomen.Charlotte originally raised her hand to stop, but as soon as her hand moved slightly, she withdrew it.He was her husband, what happened that he helped her hold her stomach?Is it illegal?Not illegal, but also reasonable and justifiable!Charlotte enjoyed seven
Charlotte's face was all red. When the waiter came over, she directly handed him the menu, without saying much, afraid that Elizabeth would talk nonsense: "Just the ones ticked above."Elizabeth hummed and refilled her own glass of water, saying to herself, "Your face is so red, it seems like you had a good performance.""..."She really wanted to pry open Elizabeth's head and see how much yellow waste was inside.This topic, even if it was with a best friend, it was not good to talk about it too much.Elizabeth was actually smart enough to know when to stop talking. She said, "Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. I understand, I understand!""?"She didn't say anything, what does she understand?"What on earth is going on in your head? You little minion!"Elizabeth saw that her ears were turning red and she stopped joking: "How are Mr. Romero's uncle and aunt? Did they not intimidate you?"Charlotte picked up the cup and took a sip, shaking her head. "No, he even gave me a set of r
Elizabeth looked at her back and immediately flipped her middle finger, saying, "Lottie, this woman was definitely doing it on purpose!"Charlotte naturally knew that she did it on purpose. Who in their right mind would continue to use that name when everyone clearly said not to? And she even called her that in front of the lady herself.This Hanna is just pure disgusting!But, it has to be said, even though she did it on purpose, Charlotte couldn't ignore those words: "She just said, on the 17th of next month, there will be a competition at Lightkeep..."Elizabeth also noticed it naturally: "Don't take it to heart, this woman is obviously saying it on purpose! If you believe her, you will have conflicts with Mr. Romero during this period, won't you?"Charlotte understood the reason, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable inside.Elizabeth looked at her and said, "Let's go watch a movie? A funny romantic Hong Kong film was released the day before yesterday, and I heard it's really goo
Charlotte turned her head in surprise and looked at Leandro standing beside her, "When did you come back?""Half an hour earlier than you."Leandro spoke, his gaze shifting towards the men's ring on her hand, "Who did Mrs. Romero buy the ring for?"Charlotte was dumbfounded, "I bought it for you!"Did she have a second husband?Charlotte reached out and took his right hand, sliding the ring directly onto his ring finger.After putting it on, she turned around a bit. It wasn't very tight, with a little bit of looseness. Although it wasn't a perfect fit, it was still acceptable.Charlotte looked at the ring on the man's slender fingers, and the curve of her lips gradually widened. "Hmm, it's more fitting than I imagined."She finished speaking and looked up at him, her gaze resembling that of a cat seeking praise.Leandro raised his hand and touched the ring on his finger. The light shone on his long eyelashes, casting a shadow in his deep-set eye sockets.He lowered his gaze, and Charl
Every time the man climbed up a step, she felt herself tremble a little. With each tremble, her heartbeat became faster and faster.Charlotte's breathing, which had just calmed down, gradually became rapid again. She slightly lifted her head and looked at Leandro's perfect jawline, unable to help but swallow.Is it not going to be like this or that later?At the thought of this, she became nervous instinctively, and various unhealthy images started appearing in her mind.Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Leandro had already carried her into the room.Charlotte was placed on the bed by him, and she instinctively grabbed the sheets underneath her. Her heart was pounding, as if it could jump out of her chest at any moment."Let's take a shower, it's getting late."Charlotte lifted her head and blinked at him.Leandro also looked at her, "Together?"Her face flushed, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "I, I went to take a shower!"She thought too much!Ah, ah, ah!It's all Elizab
Leandro carried her back to the room, Charlotte had not yet freshened up, "I am going to freshen up!"He looked at her, loosened his grip, and placed her on the bed.Charlotte happily wore slippers and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. When she woke up, she saw so many blessings and roses downstairs. She smiled while brushing her teeth.After finishing washing up, Leandro stood on the balcony and enjoyed the breeze.Charlotte walked up to the dressing table and sat down. She noticed that there was a box of mango candies on the dressing table.She instinctively looked at Leandro and asked, "Did you put it?"Leandro faced the wind, with a hint of sunshine in his eyes, and a smile in his eyes, "No, just guess."Charlotte knew it was him who had put it there, "Want some candy?"She opened the box and took one out, putting it in her mouth.The mango candy this time had a sweet taste at first, and it took a few seconds to taste the sourness.Charlotte took one and
When Charlotte went downstairs, she happened to run into Joyce. "Madam, happy birthday!""Thank you, Joyce!"Charlotte initially walked down the stairs so quickly to avoid Leandro's relentless questioning, but as she stepped out of the garden, her footsteps became even faster.Just now, Greyson had already called her and said that he bought a gift, but he didn't say what gift it was.Charlotte was very curious. She walked around the garden and went out. There was a man standing at the door.Seeing her, the man walked over and said, "Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Charlotte?"Charlotte looked at his hand and didn't find any gift. She felt strange, but still nodded and said, "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?""Hello, Ms. Bernard. I am Mr. Greyson Bernard, the designated driver your father hired. He asked me to tell you that this is his birthday gift for you. He wishes you a happy birthday and everlasting happiness.""Ms. Bernard, this is the car key. Please check the condition of the
With Daisy's words, Charlotte also started to remember a little.She had forgotten all about it, it was too long ago.After the competition that day, they could have left after the award ceremony, but the organizers suddenly asked them to record a performance video.She was the first one, so the performance video was recorded first.After finishing the recording, she was ready to leave. If she didn't leave soon, her mask would be taken off by someone.But it was quite a coincidence that day, Karissa said she wanted to film a short clip of herself, so she drove her motorboat to the other side to record the video.Just as she finished recording, she was about to leave when she heard someone shouting from the shore.It was already sunset at that time, and it was too far away for her to see clearly. However, following the direction that people on the shore were staring at, she did see a person standing on the reef.At this time, th
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an itch on her cheek.Charlotte froze for a moment, her ears turning slightly red.But her gaze shifted to Daisy beside her, who seemed as if nothing had happened, whispering in her ear, "Five years ago, after you finished the Tolujamo competition, you came back and saved someone who got caught in the rising tide and couldn't make it back to shore. Don't you remember?"That night, Daisy really thought that her fate was there. She had never learned how to swim since she was a child, but she had a natural love for the sea.In my sophomore year, my friends and I went to Tolujamo for a trip. We heard that there was a jet ski competition, so out of curiosity, we all went to watch it.After the competition ended, it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. Daisy brought her DSLR camera and climbed onto the outermost rocks to capture the sunset.She was taking the photos seriously and didn't pay attention
Leandro watched as Charlotte walked away before he averted his gaze. He glanced briefly at Marco and then shifted his focus onto Elvis, saying, "Come with me."Elvis felt guilty under Leandro's gaze, "I didn't go, I was busy!"Marissa slapped Elvis on the palm and said, "Go quickly, Leandro wants to talk to you!""Mom!"Are you stupid or something? Does Leandro look like he has something to say to you?He might be in for a punch like this!Of course, Elvis didn't dare to say that.He also knew that his mother was just pretending to be cunning, but in reality, she was just a naive and innocent person."Go quickly!"Marissa urged again.Elvis gritted his teeth and followed Leandro as they walked out of the banquet hall and directly into the rooftop garden on the second floor."Do you have any complaints about me?"Where did Elvis dare to have any objections to Leandro, but he felt annoyed when he heard
Looking at Charlotte and Daisy in front of him, Marco's emotions were very complicated.On one hand, he didn't want to give Charlotte a good face, but on the other hand, he couldn't be cold in front of Daisy.Charlotte was quite clever, continuing the conversation after Daisy's words, if he were to leave abruptly, Daisy would definitely ask for an explanation.Marco looked for two seconds, but in the end, he couldn't cool down his face and kindly smiled at Daisy, saying, "You're thoughtful."This birthday was quite miserable.Leandro, who was standing next to Charlotte, finally spoke after hearing his response, "Dad."Marco glanced at Leandro and said, "You do remember that I am your father, don't you?"Marissa was afraid of the father and son arguing, so she quickly pulled on Marco's sleeve and said, "Marco, it's such a beautiful day, why are you saying these things?"Marissa said, her gaze falling on Daisy, shifting the topic
"Long time no see, Lottie!"Daisy ran over, holding her skirt, just like a gust of wind. She ran up to Charlotte and grabbed her.If she hadn't been holding a glass of champagne in her hand, it probably wouldn't have been just holding onto Charlotte so simply.Leandro glanced at Daisy with a hint of warning in his dark eyes.Daisy glared at him and intentionally held Charlotte even tighter, saying, "I have been abroad recently and don't have much time to meet you. I really, really miss you!"Charlotte heard what was said behind her and her face slightly flushed, but when she saw Daisy, she was still very happy and said, "Long time no see."Daisy indeed didn't contact her much over the past month.Last time she had a competition, she hurriedly rushed there, but the competition had already ended. Daisy insisted on giving her a bag as compensation.Charlotte refused, so she had to choose a regular bag. Before she returned to Aelme
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
