Charlotte subconsciously glanced in Leandro's direction, remembering how foolishly she had asked him why he took cold showers, her face growing even hotter.She raised her hand and covered her cheek, and sent Elizabeth a serious message: "When were you planning to return to Aelmere?"Elizabeth also stopped teasing her: "We had lunch and then went back. What about you and Mr. Romero?"Charlotte: We were too, do you want to go together?Elizabeth quickly refused: No way! I would rather carry my suitcase alone and be all by myself, I don't want to eat dog food with you guys!Charlotte was taken aback and could only reply, "Okay."She had just prepared to put down her phone and tidy up in the bathroom when she suddenly received a call from Karissa.Charlotte was surprised. Karissa knew that she didn't like to participate in those activities, so after the competition ended, she generally wouldn't contact her again.This is the second time Karissa has contacted her in all the years they have
Because she had to leave for the high-speed rail station a little earlier, Charlotte started to have the hotel deliver the meal at 11:30.The two of them had just finished eating, and it was only 12:15 when Charlotte received a call from Karissa."Charlene, I managed to deceive some of the media for you, but there are still many media waiting at the main entrance of the hotel. The back door of the hotel only has a few scattered media, so I arranged for the hotel to help with a car. You and your husband can leave from the back door later."It was already quite good that Karissa was able to handle this kind of thing for the first time and handle it like this."Okay, I got it. So, see you next time.""Alright, have a safe journey!"Charlotte hung up the phone and turned to Leandro beside her, saying, "There are still many media reporters downstairs. Can we leave through the back door later?"Leandro naturally listened to her: "Okay."After taking a short break, Charlotte packed up her su
The car they were given was right at the door, and the staff took the luggage for them, allowing them to go out and get into the car directly.As soon as the two of them got into the car and closed the door, the nearby journalists also realized it and immediately ran to their car to take photos.Charlotte glanced sideways at Leandro and said, "So exaggerated."The man chuckled and took her hand, playing with her ring finger. "Mrs. Romero's flow was excellent."Charlotte frowned and said, "I am not a celebrity.""You're better than a celebrity."Upon hearing his words, Charlotte became even more embarrassed.The car slowly started moving, and those few reporters gradually couldn't catch up.Charlotte glanced at the rearview mirror and raised an eyebrow at the videographer who was still running and filming.What dedication!It was hard to say how much influence she could have as a non-celebrity.After the car got on the highway, Charlotte took out her phone and sent a Line message to Ka
More precisely, Leandro was only wearing swim trunks.After all, men's swimwear only had one option, which was a pair of square-cut swim trunks.Charlotte had just looked over and immediately saw the well-defined abs.It wasn't the first time she had seen it, but she still couldn't help but blush: "You, you want to go swimming?"She averted her gaze in a panic, anxiously looking around for a place to rest her eyes.After searching for a while, Charlotte finally found a good spot - the handrail behind the stairs, where Leandro was.She looked at the handrail of the stairs, paused for a moment, calmed down, and then shifted her gaze to Leandro's eyes, locking eyes with him.His black eyes looked at her, and the usually calm gaze now had a hint of amusement. "Isn't Mrs. Romero coming along?"She shook her head instinctively, "No."Upon hearing her words, Leandro furrowed his brows slightly and said, "I have never seen Mrs. Romero swim."It seemed quite regretful.Charlotte pursed her lip
Leandro swam butterfly, his form was perfect and pleasing to the eye.He swam to the other side and then turned around and swam back in the water. Charlotte watched as he gradually got closer and closer to her, feeling her heart beating faster inexplicably.Soon, Leandro swam back.He stopped in front of her, raised his head above the water, and the water flowed down from his short hair, running along his cheeks to his neck, and then from his neck to his chest, finally merging back into the water of the swimming pool.Charlotte's gaze subconsciously followed the water droplet, watching it glide across the man's collarbone. She couldn't help but lower her head to take a glance at her own collarbone!Leandro's collarbone was even more attractive than hers!It was probably because her gaze was too intense, Leandro clicked his tongue lightly and asked her directly, "What is Mrs. Romero looking at?"Charlotte was comparing herself to his clavicle, and for a moment, she didn't react. Her mi
Charlotte had not yet realized what was happening when the man's lips descended directly onto hers.Thin lips tightly pressed against her lips, skillfully and effortlessly attacking, and rubbing against her ear.Charlotte was in the water, relying solely on the strength of her hands supporting her waist.The passionate kiss instantly made her go weak in the knees, and she instinctively sought support in the water.I grabbed his hand in the water and Leandro held me tightly around his waist.Leandro tightened his hand around his waist, and the two of them leaned closely together.The breathing of the two became increasingly heavy, and it seemed as if the quiet garden was filled with their breaths.The cool water at this moment turned scorching hot, and Charlotte felt a rush of heat from her feet to her head.This kiss lasted for an unknown amount of time. When it ended, Leandro gently kissed her lower lip and lightly bit it.Very light, a little tingly and a little crispy.Charlotte tr
Charlotte shook her head, getting rid of unhealthy thoughts from her mind, and then poured a glass of water. She walked to the sofa and waited for Leandro to finish his phone call, asking him what they would have for dinner that night.As soon as she sat down, she heard Leandro say, "Since you don't welcome my wife, we won't go back and bother you."The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say. Leandro remained silent, with the sunset casting its rays on his face. His superior jawline added a touch of sharpness and coldness to his appearance.Charlotte pursed her lips and felt that the person on the other end of the phone should be Marco."Whatever you say."After saying these words, Leandro hung up the call.He seemed not to have noticed Charlotte on the sofa, standing in front of the French window, looking ahead after hanging up the phone.Charlotte was leaning on the armrest of the sofa, watching him. As the sun set, Leandro's figure became increasingly desolate
After finishing dinner, the sky had just turned dark.Leandro had an urgent document to read, so he went to the study after dinner. Charlotte realized that she hadn't played the piano in a long time, so she went to the music room, planning to practice for two hours before taking a break.Charlotte tactfully didn't bring up Marco's birthday anymore.Charlotte finished practicing the piano and found Leandro still in the study. She went downstairs, cut a plate of fruit, and brought it to his desk. Then, she quietly closed the door and left the study, returning to her room.At that time, it was still early, and Charlotte took a shower and played with her phone in bed.Karissa sent her a Line message: "Charlene, are you interested in making some extra money?"Karissa asked this question with a lot of uneasiness. Ever since she found out that Charlotte's husband was Leandro, she felt that her previous thoughts were too shallow and childish.
At this moment, Charlotte was so embarrassed that she could count out a three-bedroom apartment. She dared not look at Leandro, and could only stare at the traffic light in front of the windshield, counting the numbers one by one."10-9-7-8...1! Green light!"She turned her head and blushed as she glanced at Leandro.The green light is on, the green light is on, let's drive quickly!As for the previous question, let's not pay any more attention to it.Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes slightly flickered, and then he averted his gaze and started the car again.Forget it, I didn't want to bother her.Joyce saw Charlotte and Leandro coming back together and was a little surprised. "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero..."She thought that only Charlotte would come back for lunch, so she didn't prepare it for Leandro.Although she made three dishes, they were all small portions. Charlotte alone couldn't finish them all, and even with Leandro, it was definitely not enough to eat.When Joyce saw Lean
After leaving the ward, Charlotte asked him, "Why did you suddenly come over?"Leandro looked at her and chuckled, "If I didn't come over, this son-in-law would have been incompetent."Charlotte was a bit embarrassed and said, "Dad, I know you were busy.""No matter how busy, we don't lack that little bit of time," he took her hand, "Besides, today is Saturday, it's supposed to be a day off."Charlotte glanced up at him and remembered the phone incident. "Did they find out who called my dad? When I took his phone earlier, I checked his call history, but it was completely deleted."Leandro looked down at her and said, "I haven't found anything yet. That person is very cunning, they always call with a virtual number."Virtual numbers, you couldn't find out who the person on the other side was at all."Okay."Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "What if she kept calling my dad with a virtual number? Are we just supposed to sit and wait for it?""Don't worry too much, if the other person
Greyson paused for a moment, then let out a sigh.The Romero family's situation, he also didn't want to interfere too much, so he just patted his daughter's hand to show comfort.Leandro's mother, Greyson, actually met a few times in the past, and she was remembered as a beautiful and gentle woman.Just unfortunate, she got breast cancer in her thirties and passed away before she turned forty.This incident was quite sensational at that time because for a period of time, many people said that Leandro's mother had committed suicide, otherwise how could it have happened on Marco's birthday.Of course, these are all rumors, and no one knows what is true or false.Greyson has never been a person who gossips behind others' backs. Although he knew about these things, he couldn't distinguish the truth from falsehood, so he naturally didn't bring them up to Charlotte."Then these days, you spent more time with Leandro, he was also having a hard time."At the age of around ten, he lost his bio
Charlotte woke up to the bright daylight. As soon as she opened her eyes, the dazzling sunlight startled her.She instinctively raised her hand to block, squinted her eyes, and grabbed the phone from the side.After checking the time, Charlotte's remaining drowsiness instantly disappeared.It was half past eight!She slept until half past eight!This was not the scariest thing for her. The scariest part was that she couldn't even remember how she fell asleep last night.Charlotte quickly sat up from the bed and ran her fingers through her hair. After that, she began to ponder how she had fallen asleep last night.The memories of last night were starting to awaken, but she thought about it several times and could only remember herself passionately kissing Leandro.What happened to the rest of the memories?Charlotte felt more and more scared!No way, no way, she didn't fall asleep while kissing Leandro last night, did she?This realization made her face instantly heat up. Charlotte rai
The room was very quiet. Leandro patiently waited for a while, but in the end, he couldn't resist the longing in his heart and body. He turned his head, as if testing the waters, and gently kissed Mrs. Romero on the side of her face, almost as if he was asking for something.However, just now he was leaning against his Charlotte, but at this moment there was no response, no movement. Just now, there was a slight rapid breathing, but now it has become very calm."Lottie?"Leandro put the person on the bed and then realized that Charlotte was already asleep.He looked at the person sleeping on the bed, silently chuckling, and somewhat helplessly, he gently lifted her onto the pillow, then pulled over the thin blanket from the side and covered her with it.It can be seen that Charlotte was really tired. When the blanket was placed over her, she reached out and pulled it a bit, then she turned to the side and continued sleeping.Leandro sat on the bed and looked at her for a while, confir
"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
