At a normal dinner party, Leandro seldom spoke. But being such a big Buddha, even if he just sat there without saying a word, no one could ignore his presence.He didn't talk much, as if he had nothing to do, he just focused on serving food to Charlotte.When did Leandro ever serve dishes to people?In the beginning, people who saw the Splendid Group were dumbfounded.Although it was a fact that Charlotte and Leandro had gotten their marriage license, Charlotte, a woman who had just been jilted by the groom at her own wedding, had a tarnished reputation, regardless of who was at fault. She immediately married Leandro, and everyone knew exactly why.Alas, she was just a woman used as a human shield by Leandro.But now, Leandro had served food to the "human shield".This news truly terrified the people of the Splendid Group present, their gaze towards Charlotte became reverent and sacred.There was a constant conversation at the
Lipstick mark...The others were discussing the contract with their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, none daring to step into that inexplicable battlefield.Dangelo stared at the lipstick mark, his eyes flickering mysteriously. He held his phone, a casual smile playing on the corners of his lips.Rubbing her stomach surreptitiously, Charlotte sensed that something was off. She first glanced at Dangelo, noticing that he was staring intently at Leandro. Subconsciously, she followed Dangelo's gaze towards Leandro.Charlotte lifted her head slightly, only to see the bold lipstick mark exposed on Leandro's collar.With a "bang", she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.Charlotte's face turned red all at once, and despite her makeup, it couldn't hide the obvious blush on her cheeks.Her skin was naturally fair, and with the nude makeup she had applied that night, her foundation was thinly used
Leandro stood up and pulled the wheelchair from the corner. Seeing the Brand Department manager and Melvin, he frowned slightly in distaste, "Aren't you leaving yet?"Melvin and the Brand Department manager both stiffened for a moment, quickly rising to their feet, "Then we'll be going now, Mr. Romero, Mrs. Romero."Charlotte was still not quite accustomed to the title "Mrs. Romero". She felt somewhat embarrassed, but she couldn't let it show on her face. She could only pretend to be calm and smile lightly: "Alright, goodbye.""Goodbye! Mr. Romero, Mrs. Romero!""Goodbye! Mr. Romero, Mrs. Romero!"Upon leaving the private room, both the Brand Department manager and Melvin breathed a deep sigh of relief.The manager of the Brand Department glanced back into the box, then immediately asked Melvin, "Melvin, is this Mrs. Romero for real?"Of course, Melvin knew what the "truth" meant from the Brand Department manager. Many people thought
The box was left with just Leandro and Charlotte, and Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.When she sat down in the wheelchair, she couldn't help but notice the lipstick mark on Leandro's collar."Mr. Romero, could you lower your head?"Leandro glanced at her, didn't respond, and simply bent down.The man suddenly moved closer, a crisp woody scent following him. Charlotte pinched her own heated earlobe."Your collar was a bit crooked."She didn't dare to look at Leandro, she just reached out directly.Charlotte was indeed guilty, her hand trembled uncontrollably for a moment.She quickly flipped up the collar, then folded it back down, finally adjusting it to barely cover the lipstick mark. Only then did she withdraw her hand, "Alright, Mr. Romero."After all, lying, Charlotte glanced at Leandro, feeling incredibly hollow.Leandro looked at her and said slowly, "Thank you.""No, no need to thank me,
No one spoke in the carriage. It was so quiet that Charlotte could hear her own heartbeat.Although she didn't know why, she could sense that Leandro didn't like her talking about divorce.Words spoken; water spilled.What's said is said, she couldn't take it back.Charlotte gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and leaned her face forward, "I'm sorry, I misspoke. Maybe you could hit me to let off some steam?"Watching her lean over, Leandro suddenly wasn't angry anymore.He raised his hand and tugged at his collar, "Don't want to fight."Didn't want to fight, wanted to kiss.Dark pupils stared at that luminous white face, Leandro swallowed slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, he just felt somewhat hot."Huh?"Charlotte opened her eyes, glanced at him, saw that his expression was the same as before, hesitated for a moment, and felt that Leandro was just being polite to her: "Maybe you should hit it?"
The carriage quieted down again, but the atmosphere was noticeably better than before.Charlotte touched her bumped forehead again, thankfully, it no longer hurt.She lowered her hand, and without paying attention, she hit Leandro directly.The two people sat too close!"Sorry, Mr. Romero, I moved to the side."Charlotte said, moving a little distance to the side.But she felt it wasn't enough, that distance of over ten centimeters was still too close.Just as she was about to move a bit further away, Leandro suddenly spoke up, "Tomorrow is Friday."At first, Charlotte didn't react, "Oh right, the week really flew by!"Lifted my head, directly meeting those deep black eyes.Charlotte's heart gave a fierce thump, and the next second, she remembered something important: she was moving in with Leandro on Saturday!Realizing this, Charlotte didn't feel quite well.Leandro looked at her and added, "Ms. Be
He lowered his eyes, suddenly grabbing her hand, "Cold?"Charlotte's hand trembled slightly, she quickly withdrew it, still stubbornly insisting, "I'm not cold.""Don't cover it up, lest it gets hot again later."He said, reaching out to remove her coat.Charlotte subconsciously tugged at her coat, looking at him awkwardly, "It's still a bit cold."Leandro looked at her, holding his coat, neither exerting force nor letting go, just standing off with her like this.The gaze in his dark pupils was playful yet profound. His thin lips moved slightly, hooking into a faint smile, "Not afraid of the heat?"Charlotte suddenly realized, Leandro did it on purpose!He had long noticed that her blushing just now was due to shyness, not heat at all.This person was really mean, teasing her like one would tease a cat!She suddenly lost her temper, immediately letting go of her hand, and the suit jacket slid right off her body,
Charlotte looked out the car window, not daring to act up anymore.Fortunately, it wasn't long before the car stopped downstairs at the Bernard's villa.Charlotte glanced at the man beside her, took off her coat, and put it aside, "Mr. Romero, I'm home."The man slowly opened his eyes, glanced out the car window, then turned his head to look at her: "Let's go back, rest early, sweet dreams.""Alright, I've gotten out of the car, Mr. Romero. Sweet dreams to you too."Seeing him return to normal, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.She might just be cursed, unable to bear Leandro's tenderness, it was too strange, even with a hint of ambiguity.Charlotte pushed open the car door and got out. The driver had already unfolded her wheelchair and placed it next to the car door. As soon as she got out of the car, she sat down in the wheelchair.Before closing the car door, Charlotte took another look inside the vehicle. In the dimly li
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
