The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 464

Their bodies were close, barely any space between them. Charlotte looked up at Anthony, her gaze playful and deliberate, the air between them shifting.

“Anthony…” Her voice was soft as she pressed her palm to his chest, her face inching closer, eyes narrowing with mischief. “Did I ever tell you that I…”

Anthony’s lashes lifted. His voice came out low, rough with curiosity. “That you what?”

“That I hold grudges,” Charlotte finished with a sly smile. She tapped his chest, right where his heart beat strong beneath her fingers. Her tone was cool, almost teasing. “I’ll let you off this time. But if it happens again…”

She trailed off, but the warning was clear.

Anthony took her hand, a patient smile tugging at his lips. “I get it. The Carter family does business with us, but I’ve never talked to that woman. I never thought about her, and I definitely didn’t give her that nickname.”

He kissed her forehead, his voice gentle, full of affection. “I’ll be more careful from now on.”

Whatever tension had simmered between them dissolved. Anthony let out a small sigh, rolled over, and pulled her into his arms.

“Get some sleep. I’ll wake you when it’s time to eat.”

“Mm.” Charlotte snuggled closer, breathing in his scent, a sleepy smile curling on her lips.

…

When she woke up again, the sky outside the window was already dark.
