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
Charlotte just picked up her phone, and as the message flashed, Leandro also saw it.He didn't show on his face, "I will go contact Melvin."Charlotte nodded and took the phone, replying to Elizabeth, "Leandro had already gone to contact Melvin."Elizabeth was absolutely furious: Is this merchant an idiot? Exposing our photos like that, he really has money to spare!Charlotte was just talking to Leandro about the issue of merchants censoring codes, but unexpectedly, the merchant self-destructed.To be honest, she wasn't afraid of the merchants exposing her and Elizabeth.It would be even better if the other party had given them the evidence now.Charlotte didn't reply to Elizabeth's message. She went to the homepage of the business video platform account again and quickly found out why the business had exposed them.Because there were comments saying that they looked pretty in their outfits, it is estimated that they were very
Charlotte didn't expect that Leandro would actually make the official account of the Splendid Group go offline. With the official account of the Splendid Group going offline, the whole situation can be said to have become clear.After all, as the chairman's wife, would she be so bored as to extort a few thousand from your small restaurant?The comments from netizens were even more heart-wrenching, one after another."I found this whole thing outrageous when I saw it. Before I knew the girl's identity, I noticed that she was wearing nothing cheap from head to toe. She was definitely a rich girl! Four or five thousand is not even enough for her to buy a bag, and yet the merchant actually claimed that she was trying to cheat them. It's really laughable.""The funniest joke of the year: The wife of the chairman of the Splendid Group scammed four to five thousand dollars! It's outrageous, even absurd writers couldn't come up with such a ridiculous plot, right?
Charlotte handed her phone to Leandro after finishing the call and deliberately changed the subject, saying, "Actually, the online community is quite rational."Leandro glanced at her with a half-smile, without exposing her deliberate change of topic, and took the phone.Among the thousands of comments, he happened to spot that one comment at a glance: "Wow, Mr. Romero and Mrs. Romero, I remember just recently they were trending on Twitter because of their lovey-dovey moments. How can the business owners not recognize Mrs. Romero?"He read like a robot, without any emotions, but Charlotte, listening, had her ears turning red.Charlotte was afraid that he would continue reading other comments, so she quickly snatched the phone back from his hand and said, "I'm tired, let's go to sleep."Although today last night was so exaggerated, Charlotte still had some diarrhea and felt uncomfortable all day.Actually, she was quite tired, and you could s
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
Daisy gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Green tea man!"How did she not know that Leandro was so two-faced before?Charlotte didn't hear what Daisy said clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, what did you just say?"Daisy naturally didn't want Charlotte to focus her attention on Leandro again. "It's nothing, I'll take you to meet my parents! They would be very happy to see you!"Charlotte didn't refuse either, Daisy remembers the events from five years ago until now, which shows that she is a grateful person.The parents who could raise a grateful daughter like Daisy must have been good.Moreover, Daisy mentioned her already, so there's no better time than the present. Let's meet today, which can also fulfill their wishes."Okay."Charlotte smiled with a curved lip and followed Daisy forward.Along the way, many people looked at them, harboring jealousy towards Daisy's and Charlotte's attitudes.Th
With Daisy's words, Charlotte also started to remember a little.She had forgotten all about it, it was too long ago.After the competition that day, they could have left after the award ceremony, but the organizers suddenly asked them to record a performance video.She was the first one, so the performance video was recorded first.After finishing the recording, she was ready to leave. If she didn't leave soon, her mask would be taken off by someone.But it was quite a coincidence that day, Karissa said she wanted to film a short clip of herself, so she drove her motorboat to the other side to record the video.Just as she finished recording, she was about to leave when she heard someone shouting from the shore.It was already sunset at that time, and it was too far away for her to see clearly. However, following the direction that people on the shore were staring at, she did see a person standing on the reef.At this time, th
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an itch on her cheek.Charlotte froze for a moment, her ears turning slightly red.But her gaze shifted to Daisy beside her, who seemed as if nothing had happened, whispering in her ear, "Five years ago, after you finished the Tolujamo competition, you came back and saved someone who got caught in the rising tide and couldn't make it back to shore. Don't you remember?"That night, Daisy really thought that her fate was there. She had never learned how to swim since she was a child, but she had a natural love for the sea.In my sophomore year, my friends and I went to Tolujamo for a trip. We heard that there was a jet ski competition, so out of curiosity, we all went to watch it.After the competition ended, it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. Daisy brought her DSLR camera and climbed onto the outermost rocks to capture the sunset.She was taking the photos seriously and didn't pay attention
Leandro watched as Charlotte walked away before he averted his gaze. He glanced briefly at Marco and then shifted his focus onto Elvis, saying, "Come with me."Elvis felt guilty under Leandro's gaze, "I didn't go, I was busy!"Marissa slapped Elvis on the palm and said, "Go quickly, Leandro wants to talk to you!""Mom!"Are you stupid or something? Does Leandro look like he has something to say to you?He might be in for a punch like this!Of course, Elvis didn't dare to say that.He also knew that his mother was just pretending to be cunning, but in reality, she was just a naive and innocent person."Go quickly!"Marissa urged again.Elvis gritted his teeth and followed Leandro as they walked out of the banquet hall and directly into the rooftop garden on the second floor."Do you have any complaints about me?"Where did Elvis dare to have any objections to Leandro, but he felt annoyed when he heard
Looking at Charlotte and Daisy in front of him, Marco's emotions were very complicated.On one hand, he didn't want to give Charlotte a good face, but on the other hand, he couldn't be cold in front of Daisy.Charlotte was quite clever, continuing the conversation after Daisy's words, if he were to leave abruptly, Daisy would definitely ask for an explanation.Marco looked for two seconds, but in the end, he couldn't cool down his face and kindly smiled at Daisy, saying, "You're thoughtful."This birthday was quite miserable.Leandro, who was standing next to Charlotte, finally spoke after hearing his response, "Dad."Marco glanced at Leandro and said, "You do remember that I am your father, don't you?"Marissa was afraid of the father and son arguing, so she quickly pulled on Marco's sleeve and said, "Marco, it's such a beautiful day, why are you saying these things?"Marissa said, her gaze falling on Daisy, shifting the topic
