The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1126

The very next moment, he turned Charlotte’s face toward him and kissed her.

Charlotte’s eyes flew wide. She kicked him, breath catching as she tried to steady herself.

Anthony barely flinched. He just pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.

“Lottie, you’re the real treasure here.”

Only then did the uneasy feeling in his chest start to fade.

…

Lately, Charlotte had been caught up with the antidote and barely had time to visit her grandfather. She figured now was as good a chance as any to check in on him.

Once her mom finished the antidote with no side effects, Charlotte planned to head back to the Isle of Veil for a bit. Next up on her list: genetic research.

Ever since they learned that Nora was still alive, the Gates family couldn’t stop smiling. Every conversation circled back to when Nora would finally come home.

“Solenia is pretty much settled,” Charlotte said softly, nibbling on some fruit. “She’ll be back in a day or two.”

Once her mom took the antidote, she could finally breathe easy.

“That’s great, really great.”

Robert nodded, clearly pleased, then looked at the couple with a gentle smile. “When your mom’s back, it’s about time our families met up.”

Both Anthony and Charlotte glanced up at those words. They knew exactly what he meant.

“I think—”

“No rush.”

Anthony had barely started to speak before Charlotte cut him off. She looked tired, her voice steady. “Let’s wait a bit.”
