Charlotte had her number up early, and by the time she arrived, it was already half past nine. The CT scan was quick, and since it was so early, there weren't many people.Leandro had taken a number and was pushing her wheelchair over, with only two people ahead of them.Charlotte, recalling Leandro mentioning he had a meeting, took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Romero, you should go back to the office. My dad will come to the hospital to pick me up soon. I'll go home after I finish the check-up.""Return to which home?"Leandro received a call, glanced at the caller ID on his cell phone, but didn't answer immediately.Charlotte looked embarrassed, "My home.""Oh."His face noticeably cooled, "Call me if you need anything."Saying this, Leandro answered the phone, and as soon as he did, his entire aura changed."That..."Charlotte had just opened her mouth when the other person turned and walked away. The words "move there next week" were stuck on the tip of her tongue.Why does it fe
The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and Charlotte found a quiet corner, planning to wait there for her family's driver to come pick her up.Marcus had been persistently following her, and upon reaching the corner, his eyes lit up with evident hope, "Lottie."Marcus was supporting Charlotte's wheelchair, intending to squat down to talk to her, but Charlotte directly knocked the CT report in her hand onto his: "Don't touch me!"The report was thin and even though it was rolled up and didn't hurt when hit, the disdain in Charlotte's eyes was so obvious.Marcus only felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his heart, his throat filled with bitterness.He took a step back, careful not to touch her wheelchair, before squatting down in front of her, "Lottie, can you look at me?"Charlotte cast her gaze upon his face. For some reason, the face she once adored now seemed to evoke no feelings in her.If I had to say, it would probably be that there was still some sighing.Sighing over the
Returning to the Bernard's house, Charlotte planned to drop a line to Leandro to report her safety.No matter what, even if they were a plastic couple, they still bore the title of husband and wife.Charlotte opened Line, looked at the contact list, and fell into silence.She forgot she didn't have Leandro's Line!Alas, they were indeed a plastic couple!Ah, no, she had Leandro's Line!Thinking about this, Charlotte was glad that she had been a bit slow in her actions. If she had just called Leandro to reassure him and casually asked for another line, their plastic marriage would probably have come to an end.Finding Leandro's Line was too easy. The profile picture was an infinite geometry on a black background, and the Line name was "L".The two had a conversation before, but that was all a few days ago, the chat box had long sunk to the bottom.Charlotte pulled Leandro up, "Mr. Romero, I have safely arrived home. [Obedient.JPG]"Meanwhile, the speaker who was presenting in the meeti
The online incident lasted for several days, and Marcus and Lydia were severely criticized by netizens.The Gallagher family had become the butt of jokes recently, of course, there were inevitably some sour grapes making sarcastic remarks about Charlotte.Just when a sour grape was posting on Timeline, he forgot to divide into groups. The sour grape comments that overflowed the screen were directly seen by Charlotte."Ah, some people are just lucky. They were dealt a bad hand, but someone picked it up, and now it's a good hand again. On the other hand, the other two people who were playing cards with them are now being severely criticized. When it comes to matters of the heart, how can there be absolute right or wrong?"Charlotte used to have no temper at all, she didn't know what happened, but after a confrontation with Lydia online, she felt that her temper had become quite bad.The other party didn't categorize, whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she saw it. She was n
Charlotte woke up early the next day. Knowing that she was going to record accompaniment for a friend that day, Greyson immediately assigned Terrell to her.Since the wedding day, this was the first time Charlotte had interacted with the outside world again.In these past days, the only people she had seen were Greyson and Elizabeth, plus a plastic husband named Leandro.Today was her re-entry into the social scene, Charlotte had purposely woken up early to apply what she considered to be perfect makeup, she chose a vintage-style dress from brand A, and wore a thin cardigan over it.The recording was done indoors, Charlotte had participated once before, and the air conditioning was quite cold.Greyson also enjoyed seeing Charlotte dressed up beautifully, which gave him a sense of enduring accomplishment for attending the dinner parties he hated.Charlotte looked good today, and Greyson had been smiling all morning.The father and daughter had breakfast together, and then immediately w
Dangelo walked straight up to Charlotte, looked her up and down, "Your leg, is it lame?"Charlotte was a bit embarrassed, "No, I broke a bone. The doctor advised me to rest, so I had no choice but to use a wheelchair."Dangelo clicked his tongue, "I should have said earlier, I would have sent someone to pick you up.""It's okay, my driver brought me here.""Alright then."After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dangelo got straight to the point: "Your timing is perfect, we were just about to start!"The two of them had just been chatting intimately, and Dangelo's agent's face was getting worse and worse, looking like he was about to explode. It was then that Dangelo introduced, "Charlotte, last year's winner of the International Castaneda Piano Competition, the special invited piano accompanist for my new album!"Upon hearing Dangelo's words, the agent's face immediately changed. He enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Charlotte, "Ms. Bernard, hello! My name is Jayden Brandt, Dangel
Dangelo emerged from the recording studio. It had already been over forty minutes.It was already eleven fifty, lunchtime.Dangelo took the water handed to him by his assistant and started drinking, "Lunch together?""No, my driver is downstairs."Dangelo took another sip of water, clearly showing his thirst. His light brown eyes lingered on her for a moment, "Alright, I won't trouble you anymore."He said, tossing her a box, "A token of gratitude."Charlotte opened it, revealing a cute and delicate rabbit bag clasp. Confirming that it wasn't a very expensive gift, she accepted it, saying, "I'll treat you to a meal next time we have the chance.""When was the next time?"He suddenly asked this, Charlotte was completely unprepared and was taken aback, "When are you free?""I was quite free today."Charlotte was utterly embarrassed, her face burning hot. She couldn't respond to that statement.Seeing her embarrassment, Dangelo didn't tease her anymore: "Just kidding."Charlotte breathed
#The naive Ms. Wagner took power#At first, Charlotte didn't realize that she was trending. The trending position wasn't very high, but it wasn't low either, ranking at the eleventh spot.Charlotte had not yet gotten used to the nickname that netizens gave Lydia until she curiously clicked on this trending topic. Only then did she realize that the trending topic was about Lydia and Marcus.It turned out that someone had taken a photo of Lydia and Marcus going to a hotel together at around two in the morning last night.Not only photos, but even short videos were there.Probably neither of them noticed that someone was following and taking pictures of them. As soon as they entered the room, they started kissing passionately. However, not long after they started, the door was closed. One can easily imagine what happened next.Yesterday online, Lydia wanted to blame Charlotte, but it backfired. Everyone thought that the situation had already escalated enough last night, but to everyone's
However, it didn't take long for Charlotte to lose her laughter.After taking a bath, she gradually remembered the events of last night.Elizabeth was right, she wasn't fit to go out when she was drunk.Thinking about how she clung to Leandro asking for a hug last night, Charlotte hid under the blanket, not wanting to see anyone at all.Leandro had changed his clothes and waited in the restaurant for quite a while, but Charlotte didn't show up. He got up and walked straight to Charlotte's room, knocking on the door, "Ms. Bernard?"Didn't respond.Charlotte heard a knock at the door, her whole body tensed up. She clutched the blanket tightly and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Leandro waited a few seconds, then directly placed his hand on the doorknob.The door wasn't shut tightly. He turned the doorknob and the door opened.Leandro pushed open the door and immediately saw the lump hidden under the blanket.
In the end, he still couldn't bear it. After just a light taste, Leandro restrained himself.He exhausted his strength, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing slowly.However, the sweet fragrance around me kept hitting my nose from time to time, sweet yet torturous.After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Charlotte, who was holding him and laughed helplessly.The alcohol tolerance was poor, but the courage to drink was quite high.Charlotte had a dream, in which she was a rabbit, suddenly kissed by a sheep that was eating grass.The sheep looked at her apologetically and even gave up its grass for her to eat.Just as Charlotte thought this was a polite gentleman sheep, the sheep suddenly stood up and ripped itself open, and then she saw a wolf crawl out from the sheepskin, staring at her with red glowing eyes.Charlotte had just prepared to run when she was suddenly pinned down by a wolf. The wolf hooked its p
In the narrow carriage, Charlotte's unguarded words were heard loud and clear by people in both the front and back seats.Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Larry, who was in the driver's seat, froze for a moment.What kind of harsh words are these, Mrs. Romero?He shouldn't have been here, should he?Shouldn't he have been under the car?Upon hearing Charlotte's words, even Leandro was taken aback for a moment.However, the person involved was completely unaware of the remarkable words she had said. She even began to condemn with righteous words, "This is too much! Under the broad daylight! How could they, how could they do..."At this point, Charlotte finally realized that something was amiss.The drunken Charlotte wasn't completely unconscious, she was just a bit slower than usual.Even if she was slow, she realized at that moment what she had just said.Car shaking?Did she talk about the car shaking in fr
Charlotte's hand was caught, slightly displeased, the drunkenness made her much bolder: "Mr. Romero, could you stop shaking?"She frowned, looking at Leandro who kept swaying in front of her, feeling as if her head was being made dizzy by him.Hearing her words, Leandro knew Charlotte was drunk.He loosened his grip, "Sit tight."Charlotte withdrew her hands, shifted her body slightly, and placed her hands on her knees, sitting up straight like a kindergartener. Then, with her bright, watery eyes fixed on him, she said, "I'm sitting properly now."Those bright, sparkling eyes were filled with one message: Praise me! Praise me!Leandro looked at the person, his Adam's apple bobbing once, restraint hidden in his deep eyes: "Hmm, very good."He reached out and touched Charlotte's head, his usually cold voice softened, becoming richer, revealing an unnoticeable gentleness.What a pity, Charlotte was a drunkard now.She could
Upon entering the elevator, Charlotte glanced at Leandro, only to find that he was also looking down at her.Her ears turned hot, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the paper bag in her arms.The paper bag was fragile. She grabbed it forcefully, and the crisp sound was very noticeable.In the elevator, it was just her and Leandro. Charlotte, listening to that voice, felt not only her ears were hot, but her entire face was as well."What was given?""Huh?"Hearing the man's voice, she instinctively lifted her head, looking into his dark eyes. The clear contrast between the black and white in his eyes blinked gently, "...Let me see."Charlotte tore open the seal of the bag, pulled up the fold, propped open the mouth of the paper bag, and inside was a box.She took out the box and opened it, only to find a K-gold necklace inside. The design was simple, with a pendant of a mica cat's paw.It was quite cute.
The man's cold voice seemed to be holding back something, causing Charlotte's heart to tremble. Her hands hung by her sides, like a primary school student being punished to stand, daring not to move again.Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Did your foot just touch something?""There was none."She looked up at him, not knowing if it was an illusion, but there was no anger in those dark eyes.Charlotte let out a slight sigh, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero."Leandro pulled aside a wheelchair, "Sit down."The commotion just now was quite significant. If it weren't for Leandro's quick actions, Charlotte would have fallen onto that food cart. That cart had hot soup on it. If Charlotte had fallen onto it, the consequences would have been unthinkable.Moreover, Charlotte's right calf was already in the recovery stage. If she had taken such a fall, there was no telling whether her calf bone might have fractured again. If it had fractured again, wh
Compared to the unpleasantness of Marcus and Angela leaving before their meal even arrived, Charlotte and Leandro were incredibly harmonious.Charlotte even had a few drinks at Leandro's suggestion.Her alcohol tolerance had always been quite poor, she couldn't drink much even if it was red wine.However, eating French cuisine without drinking wine, indeed lacked a bit of flavor.Expensive things, apart from being expensive, were perfect in every other way.Charlotte was very satisfied with this dinner. She only had a few sips of the appetizing white wine but unknowingly finished half a glass of red wine that came with the main course.By the time she realized it, her cheeks were already somewhat red.Leandro across the table had long finished eating. Seeing her look over, he lifted his gaze, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, making his dark pupils appear even more profound. "Are you full?"Charlotte nodded,
Marcus looked at Charlotte, subconsciously wanting to walk over. But as soon as he took a step in Charlotte's direction, he saw Leandro's hand suddenly land on her lips.The man's actions were gentle, and the woman was slightly shy, creating an ambiguous and intimate atmosphere.Marcus only felt a harsh twist in his heart, he wished he could go and take Charlotte away right then.However, all he could do was think, as the current Charlotte wouldn't even spare him a glance.Thinking of this, Marcus only felt a bitterness in his throat.Angela, who was standing nearby, had noticed Marcus watching Charlotte earlier, his expression growing increasingly unpleasant. Now, it seemed like he was about to approach Charlotte. Finally, she couldn't hold back, "Mr. Gallagher, our table is over here."Hearing Angela's voice, Marcus finally shifted his gaze, following Angela to sit down on the other side.Their seats were about seven or eight meters
Charlotte was sitting in a wheelchair, with Leandro pushing it from behind. They had just come out of the elevator, and the one next to it had also opened.The person who came out of the elevator was none other than Marcus.There was another woman beside Marcus, and the woman was not Lydia.Charlotte was quite surprised that Lydia actually didn't get promoted. Her rank was not good enough.She only glanced at the two before averting her gaze, and Leandro didn't even give Marcus a look, pushing the wheelchair straight into the restaurant.Marcus hadn't expected to run into Charlotte here. He hadn't seen Charlotte for several days. Now that he saw her, he instinctively called out, "Lottie!"However, as soon as he finished speaking, Leandro had already pushed Charlotte into the restaurant.Marcus looked a bit upset. He turned back to glance at Angela Beltran, "Ms. Beltran, how about we reschedule for another day?"However, Angela
