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
Charlotte pursed her lips, too lazy to argue with him: "I've packed everything. What I'm taking with me is in those two boxes."Leandro averted his gaze, "I had the driver come up."He spoke, paused, and looked at her right lower leg, which, although the cast had been removed, was still wrapped in bandages, "Could Mrs. Romero go downstairs by herself?"Charlotte looked puzzled, "Didn't I just go upstairs by myself?"Leandro's keystrokes suddenly paused, he abruptly put his phone back into his pocket and walked over to her.Charlotte watched him lean over, feeling as if the oxygen in front of her was being squeezed out by his fresh woody scent, leaving her breathless, "What's wrong?""Weren't you just complaining that I didn't lift you up?"He spoke, his hand already resting on her waist.Before Charlotte could react, he had already been lifted off the ground in a waist hug."?"When did she complain?Charlo
The blush on Charlotte's face never faded. She hadn't expected her father to be so easily "deceived", and even less did she expect that Leandro, who always seemed serious and aloof, would tell so many lies.She was initially somewhat reluctant to leave home, but now, after a "heart-to-heart" with Greyson and Leandro, Charlotte was so embarrassed that she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.Fortunately, the embarrassing situation ended quickly. When she got into the car, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.A man also sat down beside her. Charlotte had just turned her head when she met his deep black eyes, "Ms. Bernard seems quite eager to move into my house?"Charlotte looked dismayed, "I just didn't expect Mr. Romero's ability to lie to be so high."Even her dad was fooled."Drive."Leandro instructed the driver to start the car, and the vehicle slowly began to move.His eyes slightly lowered, he was rolling up h
The man's voice had deepened considerably, even carrying a hint of restrained hoarseness.Charlotte felt inexplicably guilty and didn't dare to bother him anymore: "Then you sleep.""Be quiet.""Understood."She wasn't that noisy, was she?The carriage suddenly fell silent, Charlotte turned her head to look out the window, her mood beginning to flutter.She had grown so old, yet she had never lived with a man.Although it was said that their marriage was a sham and their cohabitation was just for show, they were still living under the same roof after all. Moreover, the person she was living with was Leandro, anyone would be flustered in her place!And there was Leandro's one-bedroom villa...The carriage space was small, and the woody scent from Leandro beside me became increasingly clear.The scent of the wood seemed to have a calming effect. Charlotte, inhaling it, unknowingly fell asleep.She didn't slee
The events of last night are replaying in my mind like a movie.Aidan sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing how to solve the matter for a moment.If it was another woman, we would just sleep together and spend some money to solve the problem.But this person was not just anyone, it was Elizabeth.Not to mention that Elizabeth herself is not an ordinary woman, just her relationship with Charlotte, she took care of her last night and put her to bed. It's difficult to end it without getting married.Although the Duncan family always had their older brother to rely on, as the youngest son, he didn't have much pressure.But how could Aidan not know that in such a family, it was not enough for him to marry someone he didn't like in the future.He was not Leandro, but he said he would marry.While Aidan had a headache, Elizabeth knocked on the door again and said, "Wash your face, let's talk."When she just woke up, she was n
In the darkness, both of them did not speak anymore, only the sound of their breaths mingled together.I don't know how long had passed, but Charlotte licked her lips and felt a bit thirsty.I wanted to drink water.She thought so and couldn't help but move a little.Leandro grunted, "Baby, I couldn't bear it either."If you keep messing around, I really can't help it anymore.Charlotte's hard-won composure suddenly went up in flames, "No, I was thirsty."She really didn't mean it.Leandro lightly tapped her on the back, indicating for her to get off him.Charlotte didn't react at first, until she heard him say, "I'll pour you some water." Only then did she understand his meaning and quickly flipped off him.Leandro sat up from the bed, turned on the night light, and then picked up the nearby water glass. He went downstairs to pour water for her.The room was illuminated by a night light. Charlotte sat up i
"Did you go to sleep?"Leandro looked at her round, bright lychee eyes and smiled.Charlotte's ears turned slightly red, and she nodded, "Mmm, mmm."Actually, she was not tired.Leandro raised his hand and turned off the night light.The entire room instantly plunged into darkness, and Charlotte felt the woody scent at the tip of her nose becoming even more distinct.In the darkness, Charlotte swallowed nervously.Last night, the intimate scenes of our skin touching suddenly appeared in my mind, and Charlotte suddenly felt hot.She moved slightly, wanting to brush off the thin blanket from her body.The result was that the blanket was not rubbed off, but accidentally rubbed against Leandro's thigh.Both of them were startled.Leandro struggled to swallow and said, "Lottie, aren't you sleepy?"Charlotte's head was buzzing: "I... feel a bit hot."She just wanted to rub off the blanket from her b
Leandro had finished taking a shower and came out, but Charlotte was still waiting for Elizabeth to reply.She had no choice but to put down her phone and ask the person directly, "Leandro."Leandro turned his head and glanced at her when he heard her calling him, and softly asked, "Hmm?""So... your father's birthday, is it just this week?""Well, on Friday."Charlotte pursed her lips and blinked at him, "So, will you go then?""It depended on the situation.""What's the matter?"He wiped his hair, and his short hair was wiped into a mess, adding a touch of youth to his face.Charlotte looked on, her heart inexplicably moved.But she quickly suppressed her wandering thoughts and looked up at him, waiting for his response.He laughed and said, "Mrs. Romero's situation.""Me?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised, raising her hand and pointing at herself. "What's the matter with me?"How did she no
The first party saw Elizabeth and immediately became angry: "Weren't you quite reserved just now? How come you're all over this new man now?"The first party glanced at Aidan's attire and saw his million-dollar watch on his hand. The words became even more sarcastic: "Do you think you're generous just because you wear a luxury watch? You're not even worth two hundred bucks for a night! Oh, and I don't even find you attractive!"This statement instantly ignited Elizabeth's anger, but before she could speak, Aidan, who was standing beside her, sneered first, "Your boss?"Elizabeth looked at him and shook her head, "No, you fool."He almost couldn't help but curse the client.Aidan stood directly in front of her and looked at the person in question, saying, "You dare to touch my people? Do you want to find out who I, Aidan, am?"The first party actually recognized Aidan as soon as he finished talking. The Duncan family only has two sons, and th
After washing her face, she also calmed down. After calming down, she was still quite scared.Will she be fired from the company that her left foot entered first tomorrow?Upon further consideration, if she was fired, then she was fired. She is not just a decorative vase without any abilities. She would still thrive if she switched companies.But the company had good benefits, the colleagues were nice, and the department head was just a bit nagging, but had a good heart...She had a complex mood, feeling a little excited and a little scared.After venting, Elizabeth felt too embarrassed to go back. She glanced at her colleague and said, "I'm going home, please let the minister know for me."This thing was quite messed up tonight. Elizabeth's colleague didn't know what to say: "Alright, just let me know when you get home."Elizabeth nodded her head absentmindedly and left the bathroom in a daze.She didn't notice someone in fron
Charlotte realized about Marco's birthday only after she had taken a shower. Compared to the return of her uncle and aunt, Leandro's father's birthday was more imminent.More than three months had passed, and she recalled the last time she met Marco. Until now, Charlotte still felt embarrassed.She used to be a true warrior, whatever Marco said, she would confront it.However, she had never thought about getting involved with Leandro for real at that time, so she naturally wouldn't prefer to be wronged and still put on a good face for his father and stepmother.Now, she is fine. She went from being Mrs. Romero in the contract to being the real Mrs. Romero.Charlotte glanced towards the bathroom and instinctively grabbed her phone to find Elizabeth: "Liz, Liz! Leandro's father's birthday is next week, what should I do? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent!"Elizabeth also didn't know where she went, and rarely did not reply to her messages i
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
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
