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
This sudden turn of events plunged the atmosphere into an unprecedented awkwardness. Charlotte, who had seen all sorts of situations in her life, had truly never seen anything like this before!Her face flushed, she propped herself up from the bed and sat back down, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry, I didn't sit properly."Leandro looked at him thoughtfully, a rare glimpse of his master's mood visible in his unfathomable dark eyes, "Does Ms. Bernard need to take a bath before we talk?"It was already summer in Aelmere in June, and Charlotte, due to her injured leg, wore skirts every day.Today was no exception for her, she was wearing a chiffon dress, which was soft and skin-friendly, very comfortable.The chiffon fabric stained with red wine was not so comfortable. The chiffon at the chest was tightly attached, revealing a section of the bra underneath, exuding a subtle sensuality.Charlotte's face turned even redder, "Sorry, I, I need to take a shower first.""There were your clothes in the c
"Sophistry?""..."Charlotte hadn't expected to blurt out like this: "No, what I mean is, please let me explain.""Alright, make your excuses then.""..."Tired, let it be destroyed!No one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.Charlotte bit her lip, "My friend tends to talk nonsense, please don't take it to heart. She just likes to daydream.""Perhaps I've embarrassed myself enough for tonight," Charlotte regained some composure, "I understand why you agreed to my unreasonable request of 'marriage'. You need a wife too, don't you?"After Charlotte finished speaking, she carefully watched Leandro, fearing that he would say no.Leandro gave a slight nod, signaling her to continue."I just happened to need a 'husband' too, just like in situations like tonight, you are still quite - useful.""Use?"Leandro suddenly looked up at her, his tone slow and somewhat carelessly casual.Charlotte was suddenly at a loss, inexplicably thinking of Elizabeth's news. It took her two seconds
The night at midnight was particularly quiet, the car outside the villa hadn't left yet, and it sat there like a big dog that had been abandoned.Marcus watched as the last light in the villa went out. His hand, holding a cigarette, trembled slightly. A wave of bitterness surged in his heart, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.He knew that Charlotte would not be coming out of that villa again tonight.She married Leandro and they lived together legally and rightfully.And he, waiting outside this villa, couldn't find any solution to the problem.Perhaps by tomorrow morning, he would have seen them lovingly coming out together from the villa.Marcus didn't know how he drove back. Along the way, he was like a puppet without thoughts, just driving back to the Gallagher's house by instinct.At this point in time, the Gallagher family should have been fast asleep.But tonight, the Gallagher's house was all lit up.Marcus drove the car into the garage, and as soon as he walked up to the s
When Charlotte woke up, she realized that she had surprisingly slept through the night without any sleep. Subconsciously, she reached out and touched the bed beside her.Fortunately, there was no one.She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up from the bed, and picked up her phone to check the time.It wasn't early, nor was it late, it was already eight o'clock.Charlotte sat on the bed for a while before she went in to wash up.She noticed it last night when she was taking a bath, Leandro had everything well-prepared. Her clothes, toiletries, and even cosmetics and skincare products were all readily available.Just after freshening up, Charlotte received a warm greeting from Elizabeth early in the morning."Lottie, good morning! Are you still not awake?""You have to go for a follow-up today! If you don't reply to my message in ten minutes, I'll have to interrupt your morning exercise!"Charlotte's face was all red, wondering where on earth Elizabeth had learned these words.Afrai
Charlotte stiffened, standing there as Leandro pulled her hand down, then bent over to lift her up.Losing her balance, Charlotte quickly reached out and hooked her hand around the other person's neck.The crisp woody scent almost enveloped her, and Charlotte couldn't help but move her fingers that were wrapped around Leandro's neck.She had only met him a few times, yet she touched his Adam's apple yesterday and his lips today!Even after finishing breakfast and being carried by Leandro to the car, Charlotte still felt that her right middle and ring fingers were hot.She lowered her head, looking at the middle and ring fingers of her right hand, then glanced at Leandro beside her. Her red lips moved slightly, wanting to explain something, yet she didn't know how to start.Said she didn't do it on purpose?Ah, never mind, let's just assume she did it on purpose.Charlotte also didn't expect that, besides being good at playing the piano, her hands were quite adept at taking advantage o
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
