The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1631

“I only love you.”

Charlotte murmured the words without even realizing it, and Anthony’s lips curled into a quiet, satisfied smile.

Above them, fireworks kept bursting in the night sky. The words “Marry me” flashed in bright red, painting the whole Cabinda skyline.

Under the glowing sky, Anthony, tall and handsome, carried Charlotte on his back along the beach. She was light as a feather, her beauty almost unreal. Step by step, they walked against the wind, leaving their footprints in the soft sand. The whole moment felt so sweet, so full of love, the small crowd following them couldn’t help but watch with envy written all over their faces.

Hans couldn’t resist pulling out his phone to snap a picture. He got a perfect shot. Tomorrow, he’d give it to Anthony and probably score himself a two-month bonus.

...

Back at Imperial Heights, Anthony laid Charlotte gently on their bed. He sat on the edge, never taking his eyes off her sleepy, dazed face.

“Just lie down for a bit. I’ll bring you something to eat,” he said softly, bracing his hands on either side of her. He bent down and pressed a warm kiss to her forehead, his voice low and coaxing.

Lately, her appetite had actually been pretty good, but she hadn’t eaten much tonight. He knew she’d wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

The door clicked shut as Anthony left, and the sound seemed to clear some of the fog in Charlotte’s mind. She sat up and absentmindedly touched her hand. The ring on her finger sparkled under the light, easily outshining everything around her.

She traced the delicate band with her finger, her lips curling into a shy, blissful smile, happiness flooding her eyes. So, it hadn’t been a dream. He really did propose.

“You both were so good today…” she whispered, glancing down and placing her hand gently over the small curve of her belly. Her voice came out husky, “Did you like what Daddy did for us?”

Suddenly, her stomach clenched with a wave of nausea.
