Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1469

Hazel stared at the bowl of panna cotta, her eyes shining like falling stars.

The soft vanilla bean dessert jiggled delightfully as she tapped it with her spoon.

It was drizzled with golden honey, radiating a fresh, sweet scent that wasn't overpowering in the slightest.

She scooped a spoonful and popped it into her mouth.

She practically melted into a puddle of pure joy. "Mmm, so good! So good!"

She mumbled through the sweetness, "Julian, this panna cotta is absolute perfection."

The cool, refreshing dessert melted on her tongue, carrying the rich taste of cream and the floral sweetness of honey. It was so soft and delicate that it completely untangled all the tension in her body.

Squinting happily, she scooped up another massive bite.

Julian sat across from her, his features calm and elegant.

The warm yellow light washed over him, making his classically handsome face appear even softer.

He didn't rush to speak.

Instead, he poured her a glass of warm water and nudged it toward her hand. "Take your time. No one is going to snatch it away."

Hazel had her mouth full, giving him a half-hearted nod.

But the spoon in her hand never stopped moving.

All that guilt, the secrecy, the vow that she couldn't be bought with food?

It was completely wiped from her memory.

Because honestly, who could say no to Julian's homemade pasta and dessert?

No one.

Absolutely no one.

Julian watched her eat with obvious satisfaction, his smile growing richer. "When you and my sister were out there before, did you have to constantly fight for food? Were you always getting dragged out on sudden missions?"

Hazel kept her spoon clamped between her teeth and nodded. "Oh, totally."

She spoke through a mouthful of cream. "The Gray Zone is a total mess. Midnight ops were just a normal Tuesday for us."

She took another hefty scoop. "Plus, Serena wasn't just running the Ghost Alliance, she was juggling a million other top-tier identities. She was way busier than me."
