The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1299

Anthony and Charlotte caught each other’s eyes. For a few quiet seconds, neither of them spoke, but then they both cracked a smile.

Anthony looked pleased. He put his hand gently over Charlotte’s belly, warmth blooming inside him. “See? They know what’s good for them. They know not to mess with their mom if they want an easy life.”

Charlotte glanced over with a lazy half-squint. “Of course they do. They’re your kids, after all.”

She couldn’t help thinking about how quickly the little ones gave in. Honestly, it was almost impressive.

“Having kids who actually listen to their mom… I have to admit, it feels pretty good.”

Charlotte’s eyes lingered on Anthony’s hand resting on her stomach. Her chest felt a little tight, like her heart was overflowing.

Dad. Mom. The words sounded unfamiliar, but they came with this quiet, gentle warmth she couldn’t quite explain.

The kids probably take after their dad. If they were anything like her, Anthony would have lost his mind by now.

She turned to study Anthony, a soft smile tugging at her lips.

Right then, a loud ringtone cut through the cozy moment.

“It’s Allanson calling,” Anthony said, grabbing his phone. The second he saw the caller ID, his smile faded. “Should I answer?”

“Yeah, answer it.”

Charlotte flopped onto the couch, crossing her legs. There was a hint of steel in her posture as she tipped her chin up. “Let’s see what kind of drama he wants to start now.”

Anthony tucked a pillow behind her, unlocked the phone, and held it up for her.

“Start talking.”

The call had barely connected before Charlotte jumped in, her voice sharp and impatient. “You’ve got five minutes.”
