The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1012

Anthony froze for a second.

Before he could say anything, Franco jumped in. “You’ll get the hang of it. Honestly, being a wife guy isn’t so bad.”

Anthony couldn’t help but smile, stifling a laugh. The two men exchanged a knowing glance and tapped their glasses together. They both got it.

...

The next morning, a call came in from Cabinda.

“The X Organization’s lab just developed a new batch of meds.”

Anthony walked up behind Charlotte and let his chin rest lightly on her shoulder. His voice dropped to a low murmur. “We still have to see if these work on the gene mutation. The team there can’t handle it. You’ll have to do the testing yourself.”

Charlotte spit out her toothpaste, glanced at his reflection in the mirror, and answered softly, “Then I’ll head back at noon.”

“You’re not staying with your parents?”

Anthony grabbed a towel and gently wiped her face, then led her back to the bedroom. He knelt down, took her delicate foot in his hand, and slipped on her socks.

“Mom still needs a couple more days to recover,” Charlotte said, bracing herself on the bed and looking down at him, a lazy smile curving her lips.

“And before we bring Mom back, we should give the Gates family a heads-up. If we just show up out of nowhere…”

Grandpa would probably drop dead on the spot.

“I’ll have someone take care of that.”

Once she was ready, Anthony straightened up, about to leave, but Charlotte suddenly grabbed him and pulled him back.

“What is it?”

Before he could react, she tugged him down by his tie and pressed a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth.

“Go on,” she said with a casual smile. “You’re the wife guy, remember?”
