The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1711

“Who’s calling him an old man? Come say that to his face, I dare you!”

“I’ve only seen him in online photos and magazine ads… Never thought he’d be this good-looking up close.”

“I thought Anthony was supposed to be that cold and ruthless business type! Why does it feel like Charlotte totally knocks his tough guy energy down a notch?”

“They are so adorable together, I can’t handle it!”

The crowd couldn’t help inching closer, all their attention glued to the pair. Their gazes sparkled, hearts practically floating out of their chests as they watched.

“There are snacks in your bag in case you get hungry. The kitchen will drop off lunch for you at noon. If you get bored, ask a friend to eat with you.”

Anthony stood tall in front of Charlotte, fixing the bit of fabric on her shirt with easy, natural care. His eyes were soft, overflowing with affection. “Make sure you get enough rest, okay? Don’t wear yourself out.”

“Okay.”

Charlotte stood there quietly, gazing back at him, her eyes bright and sincere. Then her gaze wandered to his neck and lingered, her expression sharpening just a little.

“What are you staring at?”

Anthony tugged at his collar, showing off a very clear bite mark. He grinned, a little mischievous. “This is your doing.”

Charlotte shot him a sideways look and didn’t respond, just turned to leave.

“Wait.”

Anthony reached out, catching her hand. He leaned in and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Around them, cameras started clicking.

Only after enjoying his little victory did he let go, reaching up to lightly ruffle Charlotte’s hair. His voice dropped soft and low. “Be good.”

Charlotte turned and caught a glimpse of students in the crowd holding up their phones, sneaking photos, all their eyes full of gossip and excitement. She smiled lazily, like she was in on the whole joke.

They had just made their relationship public yesterday, and now Anthony was already eager to show off some couple moments in front of everyone?

Seriously.

Anthony was definitely slyer than he looked.

“You too.”

Charlotte slung her bag over one shoulder, then tapped his chin with her finger before heading out. Such a simple gesture, but when she did it… it just felt flirtatious. Playful, and hard to ignore.
