The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2036

Although there were still a few comments saying she wasn't worthy, they were in the absolute minority.

"Once you graduate senior year, we'll have the wedding ceremony. How does that sound?"

Roger wrapped his arms around her, softly asking for her opinion.

"Honestly, I don't really care about the ceremony."

Stella bit her lip, blinking up at him. She spoke earnestly, her voice quiet. "Having you is enough."

She had been to Charlotte's wedding.

It cost so much money, time, and energy...

The Gates family had already given her so much.

She couldn't be greedy.

"Are you sure you don't want one?"

Hearing her decline, Roger wasn't in a rush. He twirled a lock of her hair, his tone lazy. "By then, Lottie's babies will be two and a half. They'd make the perfect little ring bearers."

"..."

At the mention of that, Stella's eyes instantly lit up.

Charlotte's babies...

They were definitely going to be the absolute cutest boy-girl twins in the world.

"Could Charlotte be my bridesmaid again then?" Stella was entirely sold now, staring at Roger with puppy-dog eyes. "I want her by my side."

"..."

Hearing that, the smile vanished from Roger's face. He looked thoroughly unamused as he pinched her cheek. "Mrs. Gates, exactly who did you marry?"

Stella just laughed and snuggled deeper into his embrace.

--

Life slowly settled into a comfortable routine.

As the months went by, Charlotte's belly grew larger and larger.

She was less than a week away from her due date.

Charlotte lay on the living room sofa, absentmindedly playing a video game while occasionally glancing at the man beside her.

"Boss, the baby supplies are all ready for your inspection."

The butler rolled out several clothing racks filled with baby clothes.

They were all prepared by the Blair family.

And...

They were all for boys.

"Yeah."

Anthony stood up and casually flipped through them, looking entirely uninterested.

They had formula, so the kids wouldn't starve.

They had clothes, so they wouldn't freeze.
