The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2082

"Char... cough, cough!"

But when they saw the person stepping out, the cheering stopped abruptly. Someone nearly bit their tongue.

An... Anthony?

In an instant, all the cheers died down. They stole nervous glances at the couple.

"Sorry, everyone. My wife is a bit tired today."

Anthony kept his arm securely around his wife's waist. A faint, polite smile graced his handsome face as he spoke unhurriedly. "With so many people, taking individual photos isn't realistic."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Charlotte, and he suggested softly, "How about letting them take a group photo?"

"Huh?"

Charlotte looked up in surprise. She had thought Anthony would just drag her away, but he was actually letting her take a picture with them.

This felt like the calm before the storm!

"Let's do it."

Charlotte didn't refuse. Once she agreed, the others exchanged looks for a few seconds. Confirming that Anthony wasn't just being sarcastic, they scrambled forward, trying to get as close to the goddess as possible.

A few young guys, fresh out of school and unbattered by life, barely got close to Charlotte before they felt an overwhelming pressure.

Meeting the man's dark, warning glare, goosebumps immediately covered their arms.

Oh, God.

Anthony's look was terrifying.

"..."

After struggling for a few seconds, they silently scooted to the side, giving up their spots to the girls.

"Do you want to be in the picture too?"

Seeing Anthony keeping his arm around her without any intention of leaving, Charlotte asked in confusion.

"Is there a problem with that?"

Anthony looked down, giving his wife's waist a light squeeze, clearly displeased.

With so many people coveting her gathered around, him agreeing to a group photo was generous enough.

This little rascal didn't even want to let him sneak into the picture.

"Not at all."

Charlotte pulled out a sweet smile, proactively leaning into his embrace. "Let's take it."

She knew better.

"So gorgeous. A boy and a girl. Charlotte really knows how to have kids."

"Hello, hello! Can I touch you? Oh, you are so, so adorable! You're so pleasantly plump, my absolute dream baby."

Ophelia, who was sucking on her fingers, pushed out her bottom lip.

She was about to cry.

"My mistake, my mistake! Not plump at all!" The crowd immediately comforted her, dangling the lollipops and toys they had scrounged up in front of her. "Our little princess isn't plump at all, just... a little squishy."

"..."

Ophelia's attention was drawn to the shiny objects. Opening her little mouth, she reached out for a lollipop.

"Fred, say hi to us!"

The girls surrounding Frederick had stars in their eyes, absolutely thrilled. "So handsome! He looks exactly like Anthony."

"Yeah, give us a smile!"

Listening to the chattering voices of the women around him, Frederick's fair little face scrunched up.

He simply turned his head away, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

Women were so childish!
