The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 800

Charlotte glanced down, her eyes lingering on Anthony’s pants for a split second before she blinked, let go of his hand, and gave him a knowing smile. “Call me when Jackson and Adonis show up, alright?”

“Got it.” Anthony caught the flicker of guilt in her eyes. He reached out, tapped her nose, and said softly, “Just relax and enjoy your bath. If you need anything, let me know.”

He left the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. It took three big glasses of cold water before he could finally cool down the restless energy humming in his chest.

While Charlotte soaked in the tub, Anthony headed next door for a cold shower of his own, changed into fresh clothes, and went to check on his grandmother.

Patricia was awake now, looking much better than she had earlier.

“Anthony, Charlotte’s friends have arrived,” Hans announced, always polite and precise.

“Show them to the reception room and make sure they’re comfortable,” Anthony replied, his voice low, before heading back to the bedroom. He pushed open the bathroom door.

Charlotte was just finishing her bath. When she saw him come in, she squinted sleepily, then stretched her arms out toward him like it was the most natural thing in the world.

She looked every bit the spoiled little princess waiting to be pampered.

Anthony couldn’t help but smile. He bent down, scooped her out of the tub, wrapped her up in a towel, and carried her into the bedroom.

A maid had already brought up a fresh set of clothes and a steaming cup of ginger tea.

Anthony handed her the tea, then helped her get dressed, slipping each piece on carefully, like he was taking care of a kid.

“Jackson and Adonis are here,” he told her, switching on the hairdryer to gently dry her hair.

Charlotte nodded, drinking her ginger tea a little too fast.

Her hair was barely dry when she slid out of his lap, her voice a little rough. “I’m going to see them.”
