Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1438

Nicholas paused slightly.

Serena raised her brow. "Where is your surprise?"

Nicholas looked at her, a faint trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He originally thought that with the Montgomery family, the Harrison family, and Alaric Sinclair causing such a scene tonight, the things he had prepared were no longer suitable to bring out.

Besides, tonight was, after all, the day she returned home.

It was the day the Lancaster family had waited twenty years for, finally bringing her back.

He didn't want any arrangements of his to overshadow the dignity the Lancaster family was giving her.

He didn't want to steal the spotlight from her as the Lancaster Pearl at a moment like this.

And he certainly didn't want anyone to think he was using the Lancaster family's venue to forcefully announce anything.

But he hadn't expected her to bring up the surprise on her own.

Nicholas looked at her, his gaze deepening little by little, a smile surfacing in his eyes. "Are you asking this because... you're actually looking forward to my surprise?"

Serena remained expressionless. "Not looking forward to it."

After saying that, she shoved the water glass back into his hand. "Give it or don't. Your choice."

She looked exactly like a cat whose thoughts had been exposed, bristling with supreme arrogance.

Nicholas chuckled softly and reached out to grasp her wrist.

"Serena."

His voice was very soft, his palm incredibly warm, as if trying to sear her very soul. "I wanted to give you a surprise. I've been thinking about it for a very, very long time."

Serena stopped walking and cast a sideways glance at him.

Nicholas's thumb gently stroked her luminous skin as he spoke in a low, gentle voice. "I've been wondering when exactly would be the most appropriate time to present it to you."

"Tonight is your Debutante Gala. You are the main character."

"It's the day the Lancaster family, after waiting for twenty years, finally brings you in front of everyone."

"I don't want to steal this moment."
