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
The news of Marcus and Lydia renting a room together had been hanging on the internet for a whole day. The Gallagher family tried every means to remove the trending topic, but they were told it couldn't be removed.Raymond was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and Marisa was directly reduced to tears by the anger.Ever since Marcus ran away from his wedding, the reputation of the Gallagher family had been getting worse day by day.The Gallagher family had become the laughingstock of the upper echelons in Aelmere. Charlotte returned home, just in time to find Greyson reading in the living room.News about Marcus today was buzzing around, and Greyson, the "former father-in-law", had heard so much that his ears were calloused.Looking at Charlotte now, Greyson had stared for a long while. He originally had a lot to say, but in the end, it all condensed into a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you didn't marry Marcus."Looking back, it may no
Yesterday was indeed a bit tiring, Charlotte got up a bit late today. She sent Elizabeth a "ridiculous" emoji and then went to freshen up.Greyson had an early meeting today. He had already returned to the office long ago.Charlotte was eating breakfast while scrolling through Twitter.She didn't go up to see the trashy man and woman, Lydia and Marcus, she went up to see the comment section of Dangelo.Fortunately, the comments under Dangelo's clarification tweet yesterday were all harmonious.Even because of Dangelo's tweet, Charlotte gained over two hundred thousand followers.Charlotte's Twitter had always been a bystander, rarely posting personal updates.Her Twitter wasn't even verified, it had been registered for seven years, and there were only eight posts in total. Three of them were from a couple of days ago when she was having an online argument with Lydia.Every fan who visited her homepage was saying "Sister is too
Marcus had just come out of a meeting, while Terry on the side was hesitant to speak.His face was tired and indifferent: "What is it?""Ms. Wagner wanted to see you, Mr. Gallagher.""Gone!"Upon hearing the name "Lydia", Marcus felt an inexplicable aversion.Yesterday morning when he woke up and saw Lydia naked beside him, Marcus's first reaction was not guilt, but disgust.He had never despised someone so much. Looking at Lydia lying next to him, he even regretted immensely that he had once wronged Charlotte for her sake.That was the first time he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity for Lydia, even when he heard her crying and saying sorry, he just wanted her to shut up.In fact, he did silence her. For the first time, he looked at her with such coldness and disdain, telling her to get lost.He had originally thought that Lydia wouldn't dare to appear before him again, but it seemed now that he had overestimated her
Just after three in the afternoon, Charlotte woke up, sat in her room for a while, then went downstairs to drink a bowl of sweet soup.At five o'clock, Charlotte came out of the piano room, Jaylen Obrien asked her what she wanted to eat in the evening."There was nothing in particular I wanted to eat, Jaylen, you decide.""Alright, I'll make something refreshing then. The weather is hot and it's affecting our appetites."Charlotte responded somewhat absent-mindedly, "Thank you, Jaylen."She would have to go over to Leandro's the next day, and she was hesitating whether to pack or not.Thinking of this, Charlotte's face grew hot.She made it seem like she couldn't wait to move there!Greyson had a dinner party tonight and called to ask Charlotte to go to bed early.Charlotte had originally planned to wait for Greyson to come back and chat with him, but Greyson said he might not be back until eleven that night, so she had
Charlotte set the alarm for seven o'clock, Leandro had said he would come over at eight last night.Just in case, he got up, washed, and changed his clothes even earlier than eight o'clock.The room where Charlotte had slept for over twenty years, she suddenly couldn't sleep in now. She was quite reluctant to let it go, but her reluctance was quickly dispersed by the sound of a car engine from downstairs.Charlotte hastily wheeled her chair to the balcony of her room, from which she could perfectly see everything at the main gate.It really was Leandro!Meanwhile, the second alarm on her phone went off.8:00.True to Mr. Romero's form, when he said eight o'clock, it was exactly eight o'clock, not a minute early or a minute late.Greyson was always an early riser. By this time, he had already finished his run and returned.The butler told him that Leandro had come over, to which Greyson, who was reading the newspaper, exp
The pressure came to Charlotte.She lifted her head, giving an embarrassed smile, "Dad, we have plans with friends later, we'll come back to have dinner with you next time!"Joking aside, if they continued to chat, she wouldn't be able to hide the fact that she wet the bed when she was three!Greyson didn't mind at all, "It's okay, you young people, it's good to go out more on weekends.""You were still young too, Dad! Look, your daughter was only eighteen!"Charlotte lifted her hand and held it under her chin, acting coy.She had known how to sweet-talk Greyson since she was a child, and their father-daughter relationship had always been like this.When Charlotte was praising Greyson, she didn't forget to show off herself. It was only when she put down her hand that she remembered Leandro was still sitting next to her.She was petrified.Turning her head slightly, she found Leandro staring at her, his deep black eyes un
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
Daisy gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Green tea man!"How did she not know that Leandro was so two-faced before?Charlotte didn't hear what Daisy said clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, what did you just say?"Daisy naturally didn't want Charlotte to focus her attention on Leandro again. "It's nothing, I'll take you to meet my parents! They would be very happy to see you!"Charlotte didn't refuse either, Daisy remembers the events from five years ago until now, which shows that she is a grateful person.The parents who could raise a grateful daughter like Daisy must have been good.Moreover, Daisy mentioned her already, so there's no better time than the present. Let's meet today, which can also fulfill their wishes."Okay."Charlotte smiled with a curved lip and followed Daisy forward.Along the way, many people looked at them, harboring jealousy towards Daisy's and Charlotte's attitudes.Th
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
