Charlotte was feeling flustered after being caught by the head teacher for reading a novel in class. In her panic, she loosened her grip and her phone fell directly onto the bedsheet.She instinctively picked up her phone, then exited the reading app and switched back to the home screen. Only then did she nervously glance at the person beside her and said, "Reading a novel.""Reading novels on a mobile phone is not good for the eyes, so I asked Melvin to prepare a Kindle."Charlotte was taken aback and reluctantly nodded, "Okay."Leandro looked at her and asked, "What novel is it? Is it good?""The romance novel that Liz sent me was just average, not very interesting, just to pass the time."I'm sorry, author. I lied, it was very good!Charlotte said, and she grabbed the thin blanket beside her.She really didn't know how to lie.Obviously, Leandro also noticed her little gesture: "Are you so engrossed that Mrs. Romero t
The man's kiss initially only stayed on her lips, but slowly he became unsatisfied with just the lips.Charlotte felt hot all over her body, and the itchiness spread from her lips down her neck, finally invading her chest.In the room, almost all there was the sound of her and Leandro's breathing.Leandro kissed her and asked in a low, husky voice, "Mrs. Romero, would you like to do something you love?"The voice was deep and sexy, like a grain of sand falling into her heart, grinding her to the point of unbearable.She was like a fish pulled ashore, lacking water and oxygen. The instinct to survive made her open her mouth to breathe, and her mind was all jumbled up, unable to think at all.The unbearable pain in her body made her unable to help but hum, and this sound directly broke Leandro's last sanity.He had been enduring since the afternoon, and couldn't bear it any longer.The air conditioning in the room was turned up h
Charlotte had actually calmed down a lot, it was just because of fear that her fingers became cold.Leandro's warm palm conveyed strength, making her less overwhelmed.The hospital at night is much quieter than during the day, except for the emergency department, all other departments have already closed.Greyson was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, and Leandro immediately knew that he was being treated in the emergency room.He led Charlotte towards the emergency room, following the nurse's instructions just now.The two of them had not reached the entrance of the emergency room when Charlotte saw the butler Orion.Greyson suddenly fainted, and it was Jaylen at home who first noticed.Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and immediately called an ambulance. Greyson was quickly taken to Cliff Hospital for treatment."Orion.""Ms. Bernard, Mr. Romero."Orion saw Charlotte, which could be considered finding the
Leandro said and then turned around and left the ward. Inside the ward, there were Orion and Charlotte, along with Greyson who was still unconscious lying on the bed.Charlotte looked at Greyson lying on the hospital bed, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if, after the doors of the emergency room opened, the doctor had told her that he hadn't been saved. She would have been devastated.Her mother passed away when she was too young to remember, and Greyson raised her single-handedly.When she was very young, she had asked Greyson countless times why other children had mothers, but she didn't.Greyson would always tell her that because her mother had gone to heaven early, she would help buy her favorite toys and when she goes there in the future, she can have a house full of beloved toys.She later grew up a bit and then she found out that her mother was no longer in this world.She gradually stopped asking about her mother, bu
Charlotte just cried, her tears dried up, feeling a bit uncomfortable on her face.Now Greyson woke up and lay on the hospital bed, staring at her.She didn't think she looked good, so she found an excuse to say she needed to go to the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom to wash her face.Cold water splashed onto her face, and this time, she was incredibly grateful.Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte closed her eyes and calmed down. She then opened her eyes again, and the redness in her eyes had already faded a lot.She smiled at herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and saw Leandro, who had come back with oatmeal. He was chatting with Greyson, and she walked over to Leandro's side.Greyson was not feeling well and would wake up for half an hour before falling asleep again.Orion had to stay overnight and was unwilling to go back to the Bernard's villa.
Leandro held her with one hand and looked down at her, asking, "Are you tired?"She was almost always standing in the hospital.Charlotte shook her head, "Not tired."Saying that, he yawned.She was a little embarrassed and said, "I was just a little tired."I was indeed tired.Charlotte used to go to bed around 10 o'clock at night, playing on her phone for a while. She would usually fall asleep before 10:30.At this time, it was already one thirty in the morning.Leandro put the car keys into his pocket and then bent down to pick her up.Charlotte was startled for a moment, then quickly hooked her arm around his neck.Leandro held her and quickly went upstairs to the master bedroom.The bedsheet on the bed was messy, revealing the battle before the two people left.Charlotte was put on the bed, her face was a little hot.Leandro took off his watch, lowered his head and kissed her: "Change int
Charlotte drove to the hospital after she finished breakfast.The hospital was crowded during the day, and she had a hard time finding a parking space for her car.The ward that Greyson moved into yesterday was still empty, with only him inside.When Charlotte entered, Jaylen brought soup over and upon seeing her, said, "Ms. Bernard."Jaylen hadn't seen Charlotte for a while, and couldn't help but look at her. He saw that she looked good and hadn't lost weight, so he asked her with relief if she wanted to have some soup.Charlotte had just finished breakfast and couldn't drink the soup at that time. "No need, Jaylen."Seeing her coming, both Jaylen and Orion tactfully found excuses to leave the ward, leaving the space for the father and daughter.Charlotte looked at Greyson on the sickbed and thought about her dream from last night, and her chest started to feel tight again.She walked over to the chair next to the hospital bed
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, and if Greyson hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Marcus.When the news of Marcus eloping broke out, her uncle and aunt were furious and said they would bring back her eldest cousin to help her deal with the situation.Charlotte didn't want her two cousins to get involved in all this mess, and she almost tried everything to convince her aunt and uncle to let her handle it herself.Back then, they were in Havigsaq, out of reach. She playfully and cutely assured that she could handle it, and they had no choice but to nod and agree.Now that they are coming back, they naturally want to hold the Gallagher family accountable.Just this bad debt, it wasn't so easy to calculate.Charlotte was puzzled: "It shouldn't, right?"Greyson looked at her and said, "Your uncle and aunt doted on you a lot, and you know it."Charlotte thought about her aunt's personality and also kne
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
"Long time no see, Lottie!"Daisy ran over, holding her skirt, just like a gust of wind. She ran up to Charlotte and grabbed her.If she hadn't been holding a glass of champagne in her hand, it probably wouldn't have been just holding onto Charlotte so simply.Leandro glanced at Daisy with a hint of warning in his dark eyes.Daisy glared at him and intentionally held Charlotte even tighter, saying, "I have been abroad recently and don't have much time to meet you. I really, really miss you!"Charlotte heard what was said behind her and her face slightly flushed, but when she saw Daisy, she was still very happy and said, "Long time no see."Daisy indeed didn't contact her much over the past month.Last time she had a competition, she hurriedly rushed there, but the competition had already ended. Daisy insisted on giving her a bag as compensation.Charlotte refused, so she had to choose a regular bag. Before she returned to Aelme
Watching her guilty look, Leandro chuckled lightly and reached out to touch her, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, if he kicks you out, I'll walk with you."He said, pausing for a moment, "Moreover, he probably won't ask you to leave tonight."Charlotte heard what he said and thought he was just comforting himself. "But what if he really kicks me out? If you go with me, it would be so embarrassing with all the guests watching, right?"Anyway, today was Marco's sixtieth birthday.Most of the guests tonight were influential figures, and if Leandro angrily left with her...Hmm, that scene was too outrageous, she couldn't even imagine it."It wasn't us who was embarrassing."He laughed, speaking in a casual and indifferent manner, as if he didn't care about Marco at all.Charlotte was taken aback: "Okay."She still believed in Leandro.As they were chatting, the car had already driven into the hotel's entrance.
Charlotte was "dismissed" by Greyson when it wasn't mealtime this time, so she had to leave after sending him to the ward.The hospital parking lot was a bit confusing, and Charlotte was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her way and was afraid to enter through the exit of the inpatient department.She had no choice but to walk along the same path she had come from, heading towards the outpatient department, and entering through the exit of the parking lot over there.It was quite a coincidence.When I came, I met Adan and Paola, they were leaving at that moment, and then I ran into them again.Paola, at this time, had clearly cried and was following behind Adan with a resentful expression on her face.Charlotte didn't want to provoke them, so she took a quick glance and averted her gaze. Subconsciously, she slowed down her pace, intending to wait for them to leave before continuing to walk to the parking lot.I didn't want Pao
Charlotte had no idea that she had just greeted Adan, and Paola and Adan, the two siblings, immediately started arguing.She had no intention of getting to know either of these two people on a deeper level, after all, one was of the opposite sex and the other was a meddlesome character.After walking a distance from the outpatient department, Charlotte finally found the building where Greyson was admitted.At that time, the elevators were crowded with people. She waited for two elevators and decided to take the stairs to the fifth floor.Just as Charlotte stepped out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, she saw Orion standing outside the ward door.Charlotte was somewhat surprised and walked quickly over, saying, "Orion, why are you standing here?"When Orion saw Charlotte, he looked up at her, hesitating to speak.Seeing Orion's reaction, Charlotte immediately realized that something was wrong.She glanced into the wa
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief only after receiving Elizabeth's message. If she didn't reply soon, Charlotte planned to drive over and check the situation.She lowered her head and looked at the message Elizabeth replied in Line, raising her eyebrows slightly.Strange.When did Elizabeth become so quiet?Charlotte felt something was off, but couldn't figure out what was wrong at that moment.She put away her phone and decided to go to the hospital to see Greyson.The hospital was crowded on Friday, and Charlotte had a hard time finding a parking space.Charlotte was not very familiar with the parking lot of this hospital, so she had to go around in circles before finding the exit.I went out but found that it was not the exit of the inpatient department, but the exit of the outpatient department.She had just confirmed the direction of the hospital ward when she turned around and saw a familiar face.Adan loo
