The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 756

Charlotte watched Anthony with a smile that was half teasing, half unreadable. He cleared his throat, voice dropping as he tried to explain, “Honestly, I came to Solenia to surprise you. I didn’t mean for the N Organization to catch me, that just… happened.”

“Is that so?” Charlotte shot him a look, twirling the handcuffs in her fingers. Her gaze turned a little darker. “Funny, because getting these on you really does feel like quite the accident.”

Anthony pressed his lips together and said quietly, “I let them catch me so the N Organization could let off some steam. That’s all.”

Charlotte didn’t reply. Instead, she picked up a cotton swab and gently wiped the blood from his wrists, then grabbed a bottle and sprayed some painkiller on his skin.

Anthony was just about to fake a wince, hoping she’d feel sorry for him, when Charlotte’s clear voice cut through his act. “Don’t bother pretending. You’re fine.”

He shut up right away.

Even if she was tough with her words, Charlotte’s hands were careful and gentle, every movement filled with patience.

Looking at her, so pretty and focused, Anthony couldn’t help but speak up. “Okay, I’ll admit it. I was the one who leaked the news that I’d come to Solenia.”

Charlotte glanced at him. She didn’t look surprised.

“And…” Anthony lowered his head, chin brushing the top of her hair, his voice rougher now. “I stopped resisting on purpose. Letting them take me was all part of it.”

Charlotte had already guessed as much. With his skills, even if she went after him herself, she doubted she could lay a finger on him, let alone the Falcon Unit.

“So… am I supposed to praise you for that?” she asked.

He shook his head, frowning, suddenly serious. “No. But I’m going to marry you someday. If I don’t let those guys vent a little, how am I supposed to win them over and get you to say yes?”

Charlotte’s lips curved, amusement flickering in her eyes. “So now that the N Organization had you tied up, you feel a little less guilty?”

Anthony shrugged, a small grin appearing. “At least they seem happy.”

She laughed softly, finally letting herself relax against him. “They were giddy after catching you. If we’re going to make this official, I guess we had to let them have their fun.”

The N Organization would get it. Back then, if it hadn’t been X Organization, some other group would have done the same. At least X Organization didn’t wipe everyone out. Otherwise, N Organization wouldn’t even exist now.

Anthony ran his fingers through Charlotte’s hair. The knot of worry inside him finally began to loosen.

She was already drained from exams, and now this mess had landed right on top of her. Charlotte just climbed into bed, curled up against him, and let her eyes drift shut.
