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
"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
"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
"Your wedding won't go smoothly! I'll let you know Marcus only loves me, and you're just a loser!"After Charlotte Bernard read this text, her face darkened.Today was her wedding with Marcus Gallagher; and the text was from Marcus' childhood sweetheart, Lydia Wagner.Charlotte took a deep breath before turning off her phone.For this wedding, the Bernard family and the Gallagher family invited every influential figure in Aelmere. While Charlotte told herself that Marcus wouldn't do anything stupid on such an occasion, she still felt a bit worried.Meantime, the host on the stage announced the entrance of the groom. "Next, please give your warmest welcome to our handsome groom, Mr. Marcus Gallagher!"As the host's voice trailed off, the banquet hall broke out into a round of thunderous applause.However, a few seconds had passed, and the groom, who should get on the stage, was still nowhere to be found.Whispers circulated among the crowd. The host smiled calmly to make light of the "
Charlotte was severely injured. She was sent to the hospital and underwent an emergency operation for eight hours.But even so, Charlotte was still not out of the woods yet. If she didn't wake up in the next 48 hours, she would never be able to in the future.When Greyson heard this, he almost fainted.Greyson's wife passed away a long time ago, so his baby girl, Charlotte, meant the whole world to him. It was supposed to be Charlotte's big day today, but Marcus ruined it by deserting Charlotte at the wedding.Looking at the Gallaghers, Greyson flew into a rage. "Get lost! All of you, get the hell out of here!"After Greyson drove away the Gallaghers, there was only Charlotte, and her best friend, Elizabeth Buck, in the ward.As Charlotte's bridesmaid, Elizabeth was on standby in the banquet hall the whole time. When Elizabeth realized something was wrong, Charlotte was already carried into an ambulance.Elizabeth couldn't understand how such a joyful wedding turned into an awful disa
When Melvin and Elizabeth reached Charlotte's ward, they happened to see Leandro walk out.Seeing that Leandro was leaving, Melvin immediately followed him.There were a lot of visitors in the hospital at this time, so the elevators were crammed with people.Melvin didn't get a chance to ask questions until he and Leandro got in the car. "Mr. Romero, did Ms. Bernard tell you what she wanted?"Hearing this question, Leandro opened his eyes, tapped the leather seat with his finger, and said, "She did.""Then what do you need me to get for you?" Melvin asked, feeling a bit glad that Charlotte was a straightforward woman.Then, he heard Leandro speaking in the back seat, "A wedding house."Melvin thought he heard it wrong, and he subconsciously turned his face around, staring at Leandro. "Mr. Romero, did you just say 'a wedding house'?"Meanwhile, Melvin thought, 'I'm not that old to lose my hearing, am I?'"Yes," Leandro confirmed it.Then he closed his eyes again and raised his left han
Charlotte hadn't seen Leandro since he came to discuss the compensation last time.As time passed by, Charlotte slowly realized that she really acted like a jerk the other day.So, when Charlotte saw Leandro again, she was embarrassed and guilt-ridden.On the other hand, Greyson wasn't surprised to see Leandro because Leandro was the culprit of the car accident.But Elizabeth didn't overthink it. She thought Leandro was a nice guy and shouldn't be fully responsible for the accident.After Greyson exchanged pleasantries with Leandro, he went to sign the hospital discharge papers, while Elizabeth took Charlotte's medical card to print the test results, leaving Leandro and Charlotte alone in the ward.As it still needed time for Charlotte's broken calf bone to heal, she was confined to a wheelchair now.Leandro was very tall, and Charlotte had to raise her head to meet his eyes. "Mr. Romero, about the compensation...""I've thought it through," Leandro interrupted her.He then suddenly c
"Charlotte!" Marcus's face darkened. "Why did you do that to Lydia? She's sick! That's not something she can control!"Lydia, teary-eyed, pulled Marcus's arm and mumbled, "Marcus, don't blame Lottie. I deserved it. Because of me, your wedding was canceled. It's all my fault!"Charlotte couldn't be bothered to watch Lydia act, so she hopped away.Elizabeth blew a raspberry at Lydia and Marcus and hissed sarcastically, "Yeah. It's not your fault. You never make any mistake! You're just feeling blue, and the whole world has to make way for you! We get it!"With that, Elizabeth directly turned around and followed Charlotte.Marcus wanted to catch up with them, but he controlled his urge after he saw Lydia's current state."Marcus, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know it's all my fault!"Hearing Lydia keep saying sorry, Marcus began to take umbrage against Charlotte. He said to Lydia, "No. It's not your fault! She's way over the line!"And he told himself in his heart, 'Lydia didn't want to be
Charlotte realized she had mistaken for the wrong person and whispered embarrassedly, "Mr. Romero?""I'm outside your villa, Ms. Bernard," Leandro said.Hearing this, Charlotte hurriedly pushed the wheelchair near the window and saw a Bentley downstairs."Mr. Romero, what brought you here?" she asked.Due to her leg problem, Charlotte could only ask over the phone instead of going downstairs.But as soon as she finished her words, she remembered what Leandro was here for.Leandro realized something too. He paused and said in a flirting tone, "Ms. Bernard, are you playing hard to get?"Charlotte immediately sat straight and hurriedly explained, "No, it's not like that! Mr. Romero, I can explain. It's..."Charlotte was suddenly short of words, thinking, 'Explain what? Am I supposed to tell him that I was just too angry and wanted to piss Marcus off at that time? No, I can't do that! Well. I don't know what Leandro is planning, but I can tell he really wants to compensate me. So, Charlot
"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

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
