Worth the Scandal (Worth It 1)

“Never say you were irresponsible. That night brought us Charlotte.” She sighed. “It was meant to be.”

Perhaps it was. “Hopefully we’ll have another night that’s meant to be and bring Charlotte a little brother.”

“Please. Let me recover from having this one first.”

They laughed together. “As soon as we can, I’d like to add my name to Charlotte’s birth certificate,” he said once their laughter died.

“That won’t be necessary.”

He stiffened. “Why not?”

She turned in his arms so she could face him. The room was dark but for a single light burning dimly in the bathroom and he could just make out her features. “You’re already listed as her father.”

“I am?” His heart thumped wildly in his chest. He couldn’t believe it.

She nodded, her expression solemn. “Gina tried to talk me out of it but I couldn’t do it. You’re listed as her father and her name on the birth certificate is Charlotte Elizabeth Worth.”

“That is a mouthful.”

“I thought it made her sound like royalty.” Tessa smiled. “She is royalty.”

“She’s my little princess.” He kissed her. “And you are my queen.”

And together they would rule the Worth empire and live happily ever after.
