The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1206

Charlotte glanced at Anthony, her cheeks pink with embarrassment.

“She’ll wait for the wedding day to start calling me that. Charlotte’s just shy,” Anthony said softly.

“Alright, that works.” It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Lavinia’s face lit up. “We actually came by to talk about the new house.”

After they got married, Charlotte and Anthony would still be living at Imperial Heights most of the time, but the Blair family had bought a brand-new, insanely expensive place right next to the Blair Estate for them. It was just in case they wanted to visit or stay over.

“Okay.”

Charlotte took the floor plans and flipped through them, not really paying attention. She didn’t have any special requests for a house and honestly had no idea what to suggest.

When she got to the last few pages, she realized there wasn’t a nursery. She licked her lips and tried to keep her tone casual. “Let’s add a nursery, too.”

The room went quiet. All three women looked at her at the same time.

A nursery?

They were both still so young, and Lottie was still in college. No one expected them to have kids any time soon.

“Lottie, you’re not…” Lavinia’s voice trailed off as her eyes dropped to Charlotte’s flat stomach. There was no excitement on her face, just a flash of anger. If Anthony had the nerve to get her pregnant already, she would break his legs herself.

Charlotte coughed and quickly tried to cover it up. “It’ll come in handy sooner or later.” She changed the subject right away. “Anthony and I are heading out of the country for a few days to see someone. You and Grandma don’t need to stress about the wedding…”

“How could we not?” Patricia jumped in immediately. “Don’t worry about a thing. We’ll talk it through with your parents.”

Their wedding had to be perfect.

When Marcia heard about it, she lost it and trashed her room, throwing everything she could get her hands on.

“Didn’t DM shut down all of Novaria? How did Charlotte still manage to get inside?”

“I… I’m not sure,” her assistant stammered, looking confused. “Maybe Charlotte made some kind of deal with DM.”

A deal?

Marcia’s expression turned icy as she tried to process it. Was DM really going to pick a fight with the Hawk family? Did they have any idea what kind of consequences they were asking for?

“Keep trying to reach the chief patriarch,” Marcia said, her voice cold and steady. “And get me to Novaria, whatever it takes.”

Olivia wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.
