The two of them had just reached the middle of the store, and the glass display window allowed them to see the situation inside the store clearly.At Elizabeth's reminder, she instinctively looked into the store.At that moment, Paola and another person in the store were holding the dress from the photo that Leandro had just sent her, ready to try it on.However, since this dress was determined by Leandro, it is not for sale.Obviously, the shop assistant was also communicating with Paola and her friends about this matter.Paola and her friends had visibly pale faces, and their communication clearly did not go well according to their intentions.Charlotte raised an eyebrow and thought about the strange behavior of those two people just now. Without Elizabeth's reminder, she had already conceived the idea of "revenge"."That was a coincidence, I'll go in and give it a try."Elizabeth gave Charlotte a thumbs up and the two of them went back into the store.This time, Elizabeth remained s
The store manager looked at Charlotte and realized belatedly, "Are you Mrs. Romero?"Charlotte took her phone and glanced at the store manager, "Don't I look like her?"Did her face not change much either?The store manager quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Romero, that's not what I meant. It's just that we almost had a misunderstanding earlier, I apologize for that. Mrs. Romero, I only just recognized you now!"The person in front of him was Mrs. Romero. The store manager had replayed the reception just now in his mind over and over again, but he didn't find any mistakes. Only then did he completely relax.If she had just offended Charlotte, then she would have really reached the end as the store manager.Leandro was their super V user at home. Before the arrival of new styles every month, the catalog of clothing styles would be sent to him first, allowing him to make his selection. Afterwards, the items would be delivered directly to his home.Leandro used to order at least three s
After Paola came out of the store, she went straight to her car. Thinking about what had just happened, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like a fool.Alyson saw the expression on Paola's face and also dared not speak.Paola had a very bad temper. She had known Paola for so many years, but it was the first time she had seen her being treated like that.Paola became more and more angry, she glanced at Alyson and said, "Who are those two women?"Alyson shook her head and said, "I didn't know."Paola frowned and said, "No more shopping, take me back home!""Okay."As for what just happened, Alyson tactfully didn't mention a word.***Charlotte and Elizabeth were in a very good mood today. They won 380,000 dollars. Who wouldn't be happy?After dinner, the two of them watched a movie and ended today's date feeling unsatisfied.Originally, Charlotte had planned to take Elizabeth back home, but Elizabeth felt that it was too late and unsafe for her to go back and didn't let her
Charlotte took the ID card and the photo matched the man in front of her. "Mr. Woodward, could you please recite your ID card number?"Blaine also didn't mind and immediately recited his ID number.Charlotte nodded and said, "You help your friend over here, and I will take him to the hospital. Please hurry and come along with us."Blaine breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned back to help Adan. "Can you still move? I found a kind-hearted young lady to take you to the hospital. Hurry up and move, get in the young lady's car!"Adan frowned, leaning half of his body on Blaine. His stomach hurt so much that he didn't have the strength to use any. He allowed the other person to take him to someone else's car like this.Blaine put Adan in the passenger seat, helped him fasten his seatbelt, and then tactfully closed the car door and stepped aside. "Thank you, beautiful miss, I'll just follow behind you, trailing closely. We'll be there soon!"Charlotte glanced at the passenger seat, whe
Blaine helped Adan into the hospital, and the nurse brought a wheelchair.Adan was immediately pushed into the emergency room and waited outside, while Blaine helped him register.Just came back, I heard Adan ask, "What's the name of the girl who just dropped me off?"Blaine was speechless. "Are you kidding me, Adan? You're lying on a flatbed, and you still have the mood to flirt with girls?"Adan was too lazy to explain, "You ask someone for help, but you don't give them any reward?"Upon hearing his words, Blaine fell silent for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm worried about you, it's just that I came in a hurry and forgot to ask the person's name!"Adan didn't speak anymore, closed his eyes and lay on the flatbed.The pain in his stomach made it almost impossible for him to straighten his waist, and the discomfort made him feel awake yet slightly confused.He suddenly thought of the orange blossoms that had drifted over from the woman sitting in the passenger seat just now, fil
"Hmm?"A deep male voice came from the phone, and Charlotte's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.She pursed her lips and weakly said, "It was on Peace Road, there was a man suddenly waving an ice cream cone. I was worried about hitting someone, so I had to slow down and stop the car."She was a good citizen who followed the traffic rules!Leandro suddenly lowered his head on the other end of the phone. In those few silent seconds, Charlotte's eyes became sore.After three or four seconds, she couldn't help it and almost with a teary voice, she said, "Can you please not be angry?"He was not at home again, she was angry, how should she coax him?Leandro lifted his head and immediately noticed the slightly reddened eye sockets of Charlotte.His heart felt like it had been yanked hard. He moved his hand and instinctively raised it to touch her face. Halfway through, he remembered that they were on a video call."I was not angry."Upon hearing her words, Charlotte finally breathed a s
Charlotte lifted her eyes, her gaze flickered, and she looked at Leandro approaching with some disbelief, "Am I not dreaming?"She spoke and then raised her hand to pinch her own cheek."Hiss!"Ouch!It's true!Not dreaming!When Charlotte realized this, Leandro had already approached her.He pulled her hand apart: "Why are you pinching yourself?"Charlotte looked at her, blinked her almond eyes, feeling a mix of happiness and embarrassment. "I want to see if it's true.""Is this the only way to confirm?"Upon hearing his words, Charlotte's face slightly blushed.She could only think of this solution just now.Now thinking about it, this method was indeed very stupid.Leandro hooked her waist, while his other hand massaged her nape, and asked leisurely, "So, do you know now if it was true or false?"Charlotte blushed and her bright eyes looked at him, feeling a bit embarrassed but reluctant to look away. "Aren't you in Farmond?""Worried."Leandro touched her face and asked, "Do you wa
As soon as the words were spoken, Charlotte regretted them.Why didn't you sleep well? Why did you suddenly come back?Is there even a need to ask?It was not because of the incident last night when she was stopped and forced to pull over by someone!Charlotte pursed her lips, guiltily averted her gaze, avoiding his eyes, and pretended not to know as she said, "The hotel bed wasn't comfortable, right?"Leandro stared at her fixedly, and after two seconds, he slowly said, "Indeed, no bed is as comfortable as the one at home."After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at the large bed in front.Charlotte inexplicably understood his meaning, and her ears instantly turned red. She came up with a rather clumsy but truthful excuse, saying, "I, I'm hungry! I'm going downstairs to eat noodles!"After finishing speaking, she quickly got up from the chair, bypassed Leandro, and walked straight out of the room.Leandro turned around and looked at the faint pink figure. His black eyes flickered,
"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
