Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1477

Meanwhile.

It was past three in the morning when Nicholas returned to the Blackwood estate.

The car pulled into the grounds, the surroundings so quiet that only the faint rustle of wind through the branches could be heard.

After the car parked, he didn't get out.

He leaned back against the seat with his long legs slightly bent. The collar of his black dress shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a sliver of his pale collarbone.

The lighting inside the car was dim.

He raised a hand, his thumb slowly brushing across the corner of his lips.

The cold, subtle scent of the girl seemed to linger there.

He remembered how she had stepped out of the shower, her damp hair draped over her shoulders, her expression languid as her fingers grabbed his tie and pulled him close.

Those clear, breathtaking eyes.

Candid.

Lazy.

Yet holding a hint of careless indulgence.

It was like a fire that burned from the corner of his lips straight into his chest.

Nicholas's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his gaze darkening in an instant.

She had kissed him so lightly, like a reward.

Yet it was more lethal than the most intense seduction.

He closed his eyes and let out a low chuckle.

He admitted it.

He really had been completely captivated just now.

Serena had been far too compliant tonight.

So compliant that... it didn't feel like her.

She had agreed to move out together with everyone in three days.

She had even looked him in the eye before he left, repeating the promise over and over.

But the lingering unease in Nicholas's heart simply wouldn't fade.

Because he knew her too well.

Serena was too smart.

And far too accustomed to shouldering danger on her own.

She was never the type to obediently hide behind someone else.

The more obedient she acted, the quieter she was, the more she pretended everything was fine, the more worried he became.
