Charlotte took out all the clothes from the suitcase and neatly arranged them. She also packed the two bags that Elizabeth had asked her to buy.
Aidan quickly messaged Leandro, who then passed the address to Charlotte. After changing their clothes, the two of them went out.
It was quite a coincidence that Aidan had originally made plans with Michael, but Michael suddenly changed his mind and didn't come.
He didn't want to join Charlotte and Leandro to eat dog food, but when he heard that Charlotte's friends were also going, he reluctantly went out.
Elizabeth did her makeup and changed her clothes before going downstairs to take a taxi. She arrived earlier than Charlotte.
Inside the compartment, there was only Aidan. Elizabeth thought she had entered the wrong compartment, so she stepped out and took another look, but she realized she hadn't made a mistake and reluctantly went in: "Hello, are you Mr. Duncan?"
Aidan had seen Elizabeth a few ti
Elizabeth glanced at Aidan, and the two of them didn't know how they ended up forming the Singlehood Alliance. "I'm scared, Mr. Romero."Charlotte was a bit embarrassed and changed the subject, "Are there crayfish here? I want to eat crayfish."Aidan heard this and clicked his tongue, "Yeah, this crayfish is pretty delicious. How much does Charlotte want to eat?"Charlotte felt that Aidan had something hidden in his words, and she instinctively looked at Leandro, saying, "Do you want to give it a try?"Leandro hadn't even spoken yet when Aidan interrupted, saying, "He hasn't tried it yet, so of course he has to taste it. The four of us, let's get four pounds, not too much, I can show off with two pounds alone."After speaking, Aidan glanced at Elizabeth and said, "Elizabeth, how much can you show off?"Elizabeth was originally a little embarrassed, after all, Leandro was there. But Aidan was even more shameless than her, so she let go: "I ca
When it was already past 10 o'clock at night, each of the four people had separated. Aidan had been drinking and couldn't drive, so he called for a designated driver.Elizabeth was originally going to take a taxi back, but Aidan felt that it was not safe for her, as she is a girl, so he decided to let her ride in his car instead.Charlotte drank a can of beer and was slightly tipsy before it ended. At this moment, the alcohol slowly started to take effect, and she felt like she was drunk.After fastening her seatbelt, she turned her head to the side and looked at Leandro, who had just gotten into the driver's seat. She furrowed her brows slightly and said with some distress, "Leandro, I think I'm drunk."Leandro was amused by her words, "Drunk people don't say that they are drunk."She nodded and responded seriously, "I am not drunk yet, but I feel like I am going to get drunk."She felt a little excited, looking at Leandro, wanting to hug h
Although knowing that Charlotte would probably say this tonight, she would forget it by tomorrow morning.But that soft spoken "I love you" easily shattered his proud composure.He glanced sideways at Charlotte, who was leaning on his shoulder, and his dark eyes under the shadow surged with restrained desire.With a snap, the lights in the entire living room suddenly turned on.Charlotte stood up and said, "The light turned on, the wish came true."Leandro chuckled and said, "What did Mrs. Romero wish for?"He turned off the night light at the entrance and carried her upstairs.Charlotte's face was already red, and upon hearing his question, it became even more flushed with embarrassment.She was just talking nonsense earlier, like making wishes before turning on the lights, even fairy tales wouldn't dare to write such things to deceive children.So just now, she was too busy admiring Leandro's serious and charming appea
When thin lips fell, Charlotte instinctively closed her eyes, and her hooked hand tightened involuntarily.After drinking alcohol, Charlotte's nerves became excited, and her hands, which she usually kept clenched, couldn't help but move a little.Through the silky pajamas, her palm could feel the warmth of Leandro's back.It was really hot.Why was he like a furnace?Charlotte couldn't help but move a little and suddenly let go of her Leandro, saying, "Lottie."Charlotte, who had not yet recovered, looked at him with a bewildered expression and asked, "What happened?"The just-kissed red lips glistened with moisture, damp under the lights, like cherries freshly touched by morning dew, tempting one to take a bite.What's most fatal is that those lychee-like eyes were filled with a watery gleam, looking at him so lost and helpless. Compared to the intentional seduction, this was even more deadly.Leandro knew that she was
Charlotte slept deeply, probably because she had drunk some beer.When I woke up the next day, Leandro was no longer in bed.The French window was opened one-third, and the morning breeze blew in. The curtains were blown up, and the sunlight followed through. The light inside the room was sometimes dim and sometimes bright.Charlotte squinted her eyes slightly, still not fully awake as she had just woken up.After sitting for a while, she finally became completely sober, and the events of last night naturally played back vividly in her mind.Charlotte!What on earth were the words of a tiger and a wolf that you said last night?You should not drink alcohol anymore in the future!Although I was sober last night, I was still influenced by alcohol. I knew what I was doing, but I was always a step behind, unlike now, where I am completely awake.Ah, ah, ah!After realizing what a jerk she had been last night, Charlott
He finished speaking and lowered his head to kiss her lips again.Charlotte subconsciously clutched the shirt beside him, tilting her head to endure Leandro's lingering desire.Charlotte was kissed early in the morning and felt dizzy.When she walked downstairs, her face was still flushed.The door of the entrance opened, and the morning breeze blew in, giving her a sense of wakefulness.Leandro had already changed his shoes, he reached out and hugged her, soothingly kissed her forehead, "I will take you out to play tonight.""What are you playing?"Leandro looked at her and teased, "You'll find out tonight."Charlotte blinked her eyes and she realized that Leandro had also turned bad: "Well."He let go of his hand and said, "Let's go have breakfast.""Uh-huh."Charlotte nodded and watched as he walked towards the corner, then she closed the front door and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.Jo
"You came back so early today.""Joyce said you had been swimming for an hour, don't you want to take a break?"He spoke and bent down, reaching out his hand to her, obviously wanting to pull her up.Charlotte instinctively placed her hand on top, and as her hand landed in the man's palm, she suddenly remembered a passage from the novel she had read that described the male protagonist:The pure white shirt was slightly damp, and thin sweat seeped through the shirt, highlighting the already excellent body with an explosive tension.Charlotte looked up at him and had an idea, "You seem hot, do you want to come down and cool off?"She wanted to see how his shirt got wet.Charlotte's face turned red and hot, typical of someone who has a colorful heart but lacks the courage.Leandro looked down at the person, clearly not understanding her meaning: "Cool down?"Charlotte had just had a strange idea for a moment, and now she co
"And then?"Leandro understood, but he didn't want to let her go so easily.Charlotte deeply regretted reading that novel, and of course, she regretted even more inexplicably letting Leandro go for a swim.She instinctively reached out to push the person in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, the person in front of her remained unmoved.Charlotte awkwardly raised her head and said, "I wanted to go ashore."Leandro pursed his lips and said, "I wondered what happened to the main characters afterwards."He smiled and reached out to help Charlotte tuck the wet hair on her cheek behind her ear, saying, "Mrs. Romero, it's not good to stop telling a story halfway."Charlotte listened to his laughter, her head feeling hot, as if she was being roasted over a fire.Even though I was soaking in the water, I still felt extremely hot."I told you as soon as I went up."The man who had always indulged her did not le
"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
