The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2172

"Twinkle, twinkle..."

The moment those words left her mouth, the smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze.

Well.

Oh dear.

How could a perfectly good song go so horribly off-key?

Was this really Lottie's daughter?

Even without an ear for music, it shouldn't sound this bad.

Kenneth slapped his forehead, deciding it was best to scrap this part of the program.

He felt a little heartbroken.

His musical legacy had no heir.

The day of the wedding.

Blissfully unaware of the truth, Ophelia tugged at her father's sleeve. "Daddy, when is it my turn to sing?"

"..."

Anthony unwrapped a cheese stick and handed it to his daughter, a helpless smile tugging at his lips. "Kenneth said the wedding schedule is too tight today. There isn't enough time for Ophelia to sing."

"How about you sing for Mom and Dad when we get home, okay?"

"Ahem."

As soon as Anthony finished speaking, the woman sitting next to him peeling an orange let out a distinctly displeased cough.

"..."

Anthony smiled in defeat. He lifted his daughter onto his lap, kissed her soft cheek, and quickly changed his tune. "Sing for Daddy."

"..."

Charlotte shot him a sideways glance. That was more like it.

He could suffer alone.

After the wedding, they returned home.

Ophelia, barefoot, pushed open her parents' bedroom door. Poking her little head in, she announced in her sweet voice, "You haven't heard Ophelia sing yet."

The little rascal had clearly let the fake praise get to her head; she demanded to sing every single day.

The household staff downstairs were on the verge of a breakdown.

Because of this...

Anthony had specifically started paying them Hazard Pay.

"..."

Seeing the girl's burning passion for singing, Charlotte quickly pulled the covers up and feigned seriousness. "Mommy has work to do. Why don't you sing for Daddy?"

"?"
