The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1240

“Do you admit you were wrong?”

Charlotte sat on the bed, her long hair just a little messy. Even with no makeup, she was stunning. Her beauty was effortless, but there was no missing the strength in her voice. She had that energy—commanding, demanding answers.

Anthony felt completely outmatched.

“Yes, I was wrong.” His eyes didn’t leave Charlotte’s face, and he nodded with a seriousness that made it clear he wasn’t about to argue.

“So, what exactly did you do wrong?”

Charlotte leaned back, pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear, arms folded across her chest. She waited.

Anthony had nothing. He opened his mouth, then shut it. What was he supposed to say? What had he done?

“Whatever it is, it’s my fault,” he said, trying to sound sincere. His voice was softer than usual, careful, almost sweet. “I admit it, okay? Please don’t stay mad. It’s not good for you.” He reached out, gently smoothing her hair, his lips tugging into a small smile. The look in his eyes was so full of love it almost spilled over. “Come on, just tell me. What’s really going on?”

Charlotte pointed her finger at his chest, her tone slow and accusing. “I dreamed you ran off with another woman.”

He blinked. “You dreamed it?”

Anthony froze. For a second, he didn’t know how to react. Then a smile broke free and he couldn’t help but laugh, the sound low and warm.

“What’s so funny?” she shot back, her eyes already getting red. Pregnant, barely sleeping, her emotions were all over the place. And now he was laughing?

“No, no, no,” Anthony said quickly, pulling her into his arms and rocking her gently. “Next time you have a dream like that, you should just kill me in it.”

“There won’t be a next time.”

Charlotte pressed her forehead against his shoulder, her mood shifting as fast as it came. She muttered, “Already did.”

Anthony went still, his smile fading. It took him a moment to find his words. “You did?”

She really didn’t hold back. Straight to the point, no mercy.

He couldn’t help but love that about her.
