Charlotte blinked her eyes, knowing that Leandro had misunderstood, but upon hearing his words, a warm feeling enveloped her heart.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked at the fruit tea in her hand. "Do you still want to drink it?"
Just as the green light in front turned red, the car couldn't pass. Leandro slowly stopped the car and said, "Damn it."
This time, without him saying a word, Charlotte took the initiative to hand the straw to his lips.
As he was drinking, she finally spoke up and explained, "Actually, I wasn't worried that she would lure you away -"
The words "hook up" are a bit difficult to mention. Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing, "I have been dealing with Lydia for so many years, so I know her quite well. If it really was her, then she must have come after me."
"But it didn't really matter that she was coming towards me, because she couldn't really do anything anyway."
In the past years, Lydi
The two of them arrived home exactly at five o'clock. Charlotte got out of the car and watched as Leandro opened the back seat door, only then realizing that she had forgotten the things she bought.She instinctively reached out to take it, but Leandro gave her a disdainful look and said, "Are you afraid I'll break it?"She looked embarrassed and said, "No."Leandro laughed and asked, "What did you buy?"This was the second time he asked her this question.Just now in the car, Charlotte couldn't answer the question. Now at home, she simply pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you a little gift."After saying that, she added somewhat embarrassedly, "It's really just a small gift."After all, she couldn't afford the big gift.Leandro raised an eyebrow and said, "This one?"He had two bags in his hands, both of them were about the same size. In addition, there was a necklace that Charlotte liked, it wasn't exp
The group, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly had someone speaking. Aidan was happy and clicked in to take a look, only to find that it was a picture posted by Leandro.Aidan: What?Aidan: What did you send, Leandro?Michael also chimed in: A tie clip?Aidan: What is so attractive about a tie clip?At this moment, Leandro was typing slowly and deliberately: Is today a holiday?This endless and confusing statement obviously left Aidan and the others bewildered.Aidan: @Leandro, did someone steal your phone? Don't you know what holiday it is today? Can't you check the calendar?Leandro: So why did my wife give me a gift?Nathan, who was about to speak, said: ...It was not the right time to come!Aidan: ...Michael: ...That's enough!Leandro did not reply anymore, he left the group and posted a timeline with that picture: Thank you, Mrs. Romero.Timeline had just been posted when Aidan, who had been hurt before, commented: "I know, I know, I know your wife gave you a gift!"
Charlotte woke up with a stomachache, and as soon as she got up, Leandro also woke up.The night light illuminated a patch of brightness, under the dim and feeble light, Charlotte's complexion didn't look too good."What happened?"Leandro turned on the headlights directly, and the bright incandescent light shone down, leaving no trace of color on his porcelain-white face. Even his usually rosy lips were covered with a layer of white."Had diarrhea!"Charlotte reluctantly responded with a grunt, clutching her stomach as she bent down and got out of bed, then immediately ran towards the bathroom.She felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach in the afternoon, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She didn't expect it to hurt so badly in the middle of the night.Just got up from the toilet, Charlotte couldn't help but lean over the sink and vomit.Leandro heard a sound and immediately pushed open the bathroom door and walked over to her, supporting her. "Did you vomit?"Charlotte gl
Leandro was amused by her words, "As long as I don't mind you, it's fine."This remark made Charlotte reflect on herself again, and her previously normal eyes started to well up with tears."Don't cry."Before the tears fell, Leandro reached out and wiped them away from the corner of his eye.He bent down and gently kissed her on the lips, saying, "I can handle cleaning up anything I can't stand, but if you cry, then I really can't handle it."Charlotte sniffed and struggled to hold back her tears.She instinctively raised her hand to hug him, but forgot that there was still a needle stuck in her hand.Leandro saw her raise her hand and quickly pushed it back down, saying, "You need to behave."Charlotte frowned and pursed her lips, saying, "I wanted to hug you."Leandro looked at Charlotte, who still didn't look well in bed, and his gaze went into those lychee eyes. He couldn't bear to refuse.He bent down, avoiding her hand that was holding a needle, and slowly pulled her into his a
Charlotte slept until 11 o'clock and when she woke up, she felt completely drained of energy.Hungry, very hungry, extremely hungry, super hungry!She had never been so hungry in her life, and when she got out of bed, her legs were weak.She barely finished washing up, without skincare, she immediately ran downstairs to find Joyce for food."Mrs. Romero, you woke up. Mr. Romero asked me to cook noodles for you. He said you had a stomachache last night and need to eat something light.""Thank you, Joyce."Of course, thanks to her husband as well.Charlotte was really hungry, Joyce brought out the noodles, and she immediately lowered her head and started eating.The noodles that Joyce cooked were made with chicken broth, and they smelled delicious. Charlotte quickly finished eating them.After eating a bowl of noodles, she finally felt alive again.Joyce poured another bowl of chicken soup for her, and Charlotte smelled the fragrance, feeling that Joyce was really thoughtful."It was a
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the black Bentley came to a slow stop.Charlotte unbuckled her seatbelt and turned her head to the side to look at Leandro, saying, "Well, I'm getting off now."Her gaze fell on Leandro's eyes, filled with deep concern. She pursed her lips and hesitated before asking, "Were you busy this afternoon?"Leandro left the hospital last night and it was already past four in the morning. I don't know what time he got up and went back to the company this morning."Not busy.""Could you please come home earlier?"Leandro looked at her and slightly curved his thin lips into a smile, saying, "Okay.""I went."Charlotte took out an umbrella, opened the car door, and got out.At that time, the sun was scorching, and she hadn't even reached the store entrance when she saw Elizabeth standing on the side."Liz!"Elizabeth, who was sending a message, heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Charlotte, and she waved her hand.Charlotte walked quickly over and took the
Just out of the restaurant, Elizabeth couldn't hold it in any longer: "Were they playing us? They sounded so nice on the phone, but when they came over, they were hinting that we were trying to cheat them out of money!"Did I care about his little money? Extortion! Do you mean to say that I suffered in the emergency room in the middle of the night, and it's only worth a little over a thousand?Because Elizabeth called an ambulance and went to the emergency room, the medical expenses exceeded one thousand.Charlotte was taken to the hospital by Leandro in the middle of the night. Although she underwent relevant examinations, she did not stay in the emergency room. In total, the compensation was only six to eight hundred dollars. In addition to their meal expenses of over four hundred dollars, the total compensation was less than two thousand five hundred dollars.This was the attitude displayed by the restaurant.Charlotte also felt that the restaur
Charlotte didn't care about this matter at all. Compared to this, she had to go abroad next week to participate in a performance.However, something happened in the evening.Elizabeth and her colleague had just finished dinner and were on their way back when they came across a short video of that internet-famous restaurant.After reading it, she was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she immediately forwarded it to Charlotte.Charlotte had just finished taking a shower and came out. She saw Elizabeth's repost and thought it was some interesting video. However, as soon as the video started, she realized something was wrong."Dear customers, due to the shortage of staff in our small shop, there have been instances where we failed to provide proper service. We would like to apologize to those customers who were unintentionally offended by us. We also believe that there are more good people than bad people in this world, so we have remained opti
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
