Inside the car, Charlotte leaned against Anthony, quietly playing a game on her phone. Her voice was soft as she spoke. “Explain.”
“Hm?” Anthony kept massaging her shoulders, pretending not to hear her. “What was that?”
He was avoiding. Charlotte’s fingers stilled on the screen. She looked up, her clear eyes suddenly cool.
Realizing she wasn’t buying it, Anthony gave up the act. He spoke gently, “The Blair Group needs more drones for forest monitoring, but we didn’t have enough. Kenneth ordered a batch early for his concert next month.”
“And?” Charlotte blinked at him, waiting.
“So I borrowed them,” Anthony confessed, his lips tugging up. His voice was a little rough. “Didn’t spend a cent.”
Charlotte frowned, still feeling like something about his story didn’t add up, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Still, it had saved them money. That was good enough.
“Okay.” She let it go, mostly from being tired and a little slow since she got pregnant. Questioning him just seemed like too much work.
Anthony found her adorable like this. He bent down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
A proposal she’d never forget. A wedding to remember. If others got to have all that, she would too.
***
The next morning, at the Blair estate.
Andrew had been called home over and over by Dorothy. He barely stepped into the hall before spotting an unfamiliar girl sitting on the sofa. Once he realized who she was, his whole expression soured. He turned to leave at once.
“Andrew!” Dorothy jumped to her feet and hurried over, dropping her voice to a cold whisper. “If you dare leave today, don’t bother calling me Mom again.”
Andrew stopped dead, looking annoyed.
