Charlotte bit her lip and said, "It's nothing, just received a spam message, got distracted and glanced at it."Wasn't the text message sent by Hanna just spam?Hmm!Don't say that Leandro may not have actually bought a motorboat, even if he really did buy a motorboat, that motorboat was not given to Hanna, so why is Hanna being so arrogant?Liz was right, Hanna did want to drive a wedge between her and Leandro!Pah, she didn't want to be fooled!Charlotte collected her thoughts and started a serious conversation with Caroline.Evening.Charlotte sat at the dressing table after taking a shower, and suddenly her phone lit up.The message was sent by Elizabeth: Lottie, has your bitchy rival been bothering you lately?Leandro went to the study to handle urgent documents, so there was only her in the room.Charlotte picked up her phone and immediately sent three question marks: ?Elizabeth typed quickly and soon replied, "I heard some news, but I don't know if it's true or not, so..."Char
Charlotte's mind was in a mess. When she was with Marcus, there was Lydia in between. Now, after recently expressing her feelings to Leandro, suddenly an unforgettable crush emerged.Once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years.Charlotte felt as if she had returned to that period of insecurity and pain, but now she no longer had the innocence and courage she had back then.If Leandro really had feelings for his unforgettable crush, she would immediately divorce to make them happen.Anyway, their marriage was never a normal marriage from the beginning.Yes, in the worst-case scenario, we would just get a divorce!She let out a deep sigh and tried to deceive herself, soothing her own mind.At that moment, the bathroom door suddenly pushed open, and Leandro, who had finished showering, walked out from inside.Charlotte was both sad and guilty. Subconsciously, she wanted to turn around and face away from him, but as soon as she did, she regretted it.Leandro was so clever; did
"Did Hanna contact you?"Charlotte was despising her own uselessness when suddenly she heard his words, and her whole body froze.How did you know?She didn't say anything!She felt nervous, so her hand instinctively wanted to grab something to relieve the tension.But she forgot that her hands were wrapped around Leandro's neck, and with a grab of her right hand, she accidentally pulled on his damp hair.Leandro didn't hear an answer, and he knew he had probably guessed right.His dark eyes narrowed, and the large hand around Charlotte's waist moved slightly, pulling her closer to his embrace. "What did you say?"Charlotte's chin warmed up, and he lifted her chin, raising her head, and her gaze collided directly with those black eyes.She instinctively averted her gaze and looked at his collar, saying, "You didn't look for me."She spoke, took a breath, and looked up to meet his gaze: "Really."It was just a text message that was sent over.Leandro looked at her and didn't say anythin
Upon seeing Karissa's Line message, Charlotte's only thought was when did Leandro find out that she was Charlene?But it shouldn't have been like that. She had always been wearing a mask during the competitions, and after the competition, she would just leave the scene without participating in any interviews or events organized by the host.It is precisely because of this that, despite being the first place every year, Charlene's fame is only half that of the second and third place players who appear regularly.Even because she didn't show her face and kept a low profile, she had no commercial value, and there were several competitions where she didn't even receive an invitation.The organizer invited her multiple times this time, but it was because last year, when she left the scene, a photo of her wearing a mask was taken by a social media influencer and posted on T*****r, which aroused a lot of curiosity and suddenly increased the attention.At the beginning of this year, that influ
Karissa was afraid that Charlotte would change her mind, so she quickly replied, "Then I will also make arrangements! Let's try to clarify all the previous rumors at once!"In the second year of Charlotte's debut in the jet ski race, there were some very bad rumors in the circle because she was unwilling to show her face.Those who said Charlotte was extremely ugly and therefore dared not show her face, were already engaging in low-level slander.Exaggeratingly speaking, Charlotte was actually a man, because he couldn't make it to the finals in the men's competition, so he came to the women's division to seek attention!And she never dared to show her face, for fear of being exposed and criticized.This defamation is exaggerated. How could the organizers of the women's motorboat race not verify Charlotte's gender!There were so many dissatisfied people with Charlotte that even exaggerated and baseless rumors were believed by many.They were so brazen; all they did was eat until Charlen
She wasn't an internet celebrity or a star like Leandro, so how did she end up trending?And the matter of Leandro's unforgettable crush, besides Hanna constantly bringing it up, no one else was so bored, let alone had the courage to openly say it like this.Charlotte smirked, finding Hanna to be really boring.Did Hanna think that buying such a hot topic would make her feel upset when she saw it?Well, if she wasn't Charlene, it was indeed quite upsetting to see this trending topic!Charlotte was looking at T*****r when Elizabeth sent her a few screenshots.Elizabeth: These few are not water army, I live-streamed doing a headstand and washing my hair!In the screenshot that Elizabeth sent, there were several popular comments, all of which were sarcastic and mocking towards Charlotte.The most liked and commented sarcastic comment: Tsk tsk tsk, indeed there is true love in a flash marriage, but true love is unattainable! However, Mrs. Romero has also gained, having such a wealthy husba
Hanna on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly, "It's nothing, just wanted to ask Ms. Bernard if she would like to go and see the motorboat race at Lightkeep on the 17th. I have tickets in my hand, and if you'd like to go, Ms. Bernard, I can have someone deliver two tickets to you."You could tell that Hanna was very proud.Charlotte sneered, "No need to bother Ms. Norton, I have a ticket.""It seems that Ms. Bernard would go to watch the game, so let's meet at Lightkeep on the 17th."Hanna paused for a moment and said, "I heard that Charlene will take off her mask at that time. I am also very curious about what kind of person can make Lance remember her for so many years."Charlotte was originally quite angry, but when she heard Hanna's words, she couldn't help but laugh.Hanna frowned upon hearing Charlotte's laughter and said, "Isn't Ms. Bernard curious?"Charlotte suppressed a smile, she actually wanted to see what Hanna's reaction would be when she saw Charlene take off her
Leandro, with rare bewilderment, stared at the closed wooden door ahead. His dark eyes slowly curved, and he murmured, "Mrs. Romero, it can only be you."The man's deep voice came through the phone, with a hint of a faint smile. Charlotte could feel her face getting hot.Although he didn't explicitly say it, the meaning behind his words could be understood by anyone with common sense.Charlotte couldn't help but curl her lips, and the corners of her mouth slowly stretched, as if the smile in her almond eyes was shining on the water's surface."Oh."She tried hard to restrain herself and responded reservedly.But I was still very happy.Charlotte was afraid of laughing out loud, so she quickly raised her hand and covered her mouth."Did you eat?"Charlotte, who was so happy that she lost control, exclaimed, "!"She forgot that she had not eaten anything since she woke up until now.Charlotte frowned, "Not yet.""Are you ready to eat?"Charlotte's face turned red, and she responded softl
"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
