The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 126

Anthony raised an eyebrow. The chill in his expression faded just a little, but his voice was still edged with anger.

My kid…

The way he said it was so doting, it almost made you want to laugh.

Anthony stood with his back to everyone, so all they saw was him staring straight at Charlotte. No one could see his face, but from the sound of it, you’d think he was scolding her.

Hearing Anthony’s words, Andrew felt touched. He immediately lifted his bruised face, looking like the picture of misery. “Anthony, I really was bullied.”

Anthony was strict with him most days, but when something happened, he always had Andrew’s back. Just listen—my kid. He was already eighteen, and Anthony still called him that.

Andrew’s face turned pink. He felt a little embarrassed.

“Anthony, I—”

“Enough.”

Anthony shot him a glare, his eyes full of icy fire. Andrew’s words died in his mouth. He almost bit his tongue in surprise.

Wait, seriously? Wasn’t Anthony just being gentle when he said “my kid”?

After that sharp command, the room went quiet.

Eleanor pressed her lips together, trying to hide how nervous she felt. She spoke softly, “Mr. Blair, please have a seat.”

Anthony’s attention drifted away from Andrew and landed on Charlotte. His gaze softened a little as he sat down in the chair across from her.
