"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
As Leandro opened the door, he saw Charlotte squatting on the ground wearing a bathrobe. He thought she had fallen and quickly walked up to her, asking, "Where did you fall?"Charlotte had just crouched down, and her whole body froze.Realizing it, she quickly reached out and picked up her skirt and panties, stuffing them into her arms.She had just picked up the underwear when Leandro came over and asked her where she had fallen.Charlotte's hand trembled as she stuffed the underwear into her skirt. Her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp and she said, "I didn't fall, I'm going to the bathroom to change my clothes."She said it and instinctively stood up.Leandro reached out and protected, "Don't run, you will fall."After he finished speaking, the dark eyes immediately sank.Just now, Charlotte was squatting on the ground, and she only saw a slightly red face of the person wrapped in a white bathrobe.Now she stood u
I swam in the pool for nearly an hour in the afternoon, and then I splashed around with Leandro in it for a while. It was quite exhausting.Charlotte's appetite was much better than usual, she didn't gobble down her food, but she chewed slowly without stopping for a single bite.Leandro had finished eating, leisurely wiping the corners of his mouth, his gaze drifting towards Charlotte, who looked like a squirrel hoarding food across from him. His thin lips slowly curved into a smile.He saw her stop and handed her a cup filled with water.Charlotte was choking a bit and was looking for water. When she saw Leandro handing her water, she quickly took it and drank a big gulp, swallowing the food stuck in her throat. Then she looked at him and said, "I'm done eating."She patted her chest and felt much more comfortable after she had swallowed the food."Choked?"Charlotte was a bit embarrassed, she had eaten too quickly just now and said,
Charlotte was particularly curious about where Leandro would take her. This was the first time Leandro had told her that he would take her out to play.Before she left, she asked Leandro once, and he only said he would know later.She also didn't want to ask again, and she was very excited along the way.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped.Charlotte unbuckled her seatbelt and, upon seeing Leandro get out of the car, she pushed the door open and followed him out of the car.At that moment, Charlotte realized that Leandro had brought her to an auction house.She was a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly come here?"Leandro led her inside while explaining in a low voice, "There was a jewelry auction today."Charlotte still didn't quite understand his meaning, so she could only nod her head and say, "Oh, oh, oh."It was not until she took her seat that she understood the meaning of Leandro bringing her here tonight.
It is impossible for a woman to not be interested in jewelry, and Charlotte also knows that diamonds are products that merchants boast about and harvest.It was really hard not to like the sparkling diamond.But she liked what she liked, not everything she liked had to be obtained.Charlotte thought that the diamond necklace being auctioned now was very beautiful, with a gentle and girly design.But the price of this necklace is not at all girly, at least not something that a mature young woman like her can afford.The starting price was one million five hundred thousand. Charlotte watched as the bidding signs popped up like mushrooms after the rain, and she instinctively tightened her grip on her own sign, afraid of impulsive spending.Leandro, who was standing beside her, noticed her small gesture. His gaze swept over her index finger as she picked at the bidding card, and his eyebrows raised as he asked, "Is this necklace beautiful?"Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "It looked p
Leandro had just swiped his card when Charlotte immediately grabbed his arm.A soft and gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and her breath blew straight onto his face, causing a tingling sensation and making his chest slightly itchy.His black eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his head and looked at Charlotte in front of him. He raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist.Hanna walked up to the two of them, her gaze falling on Leandro's hand, but quickly withdrew it: "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero."After Elizabeth exposed her use of the names "Ms. Bernard" and Lance for Leandro and Charlotte last time, this time, Hanna didn't dare to call them "Ms. Bernard" and Lance anymore."Ms. Norton."Charlotte politely responded.Leandro glanced at Hanna lightly and asked, "What's up?"Hanna, this person, used to come over for no reason.Leandro's patience had long run out when she was talking nonsense to Charlotte back then.Hanna was still being treated by Leandro in this way for the f
Charlotte pursed her lips and looked hesitant, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Norton, but this is the first gift Leandro ever brought me to the auction house. It holds a special meaning for me, so I can't let it go.""Moreover, this necklace was not the best, and I believe Mrs. Norton deserves something better. Ms. Norton, you might consider communicating with the auctioneer of 'the Bridge of Love,' I believe that necklace would be more to your mother's liking."Charlotte immediately handed back the words she had just said to Hanna. Unable to refute, Hanna's face turned slightly sour and she said, "I was being unreasonable."Leandro replied in a low voice, "Since you knew it would be difficult for a strong person, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place."This statement directly pierced Hanna's heart, causing her already unattractive face to turn pale.Hanna bit her teeth, glanced at Leandro, and then looked at Charlotte. "I'm sorry, I did indeed overstep."She said it and turned
"It's not necessary to work so hard. If Mrs. Romero is willing to use my supplementary card, I think I would be very happy."Charlotte also remembered the card he gave her and felt a bit embarrassed, "It's different."What's different is that we were a legally married couple, and half of the money I earned belonged to you.Charlotte couldn't dare to imagine that half of his money belonged to her, Leandro's wealth, which she could never achieve in her entire life of struggle.Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of him.After all, she wanted to maintain her pride and couldn't ignore Leandro's feelings.Charlotte glanced at him and said, "The money to buy you a gift should at least be earned by me, right?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro felt as if his heart was enveloped in warm water.Soft and swollen.Hmm, Mrs. Romero is quite good at coaxing people.The two of them walked to the car. Leandro opened the passenger door and held his hand on the roof to protect it. After Charlotte
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
