She rubbed her stomach and decided to find something to eat before returning to make the final adjustments.
As soon as she reached the kitchen,
she saw a warm yellow light on inside.
A tall, elegant figure stood in front of the kitchen counter. He was wearing a dark, loosely tied bathrobe, the sash knotted casually, leaving the collar open to reveal a stretch of well-defined pectoral muscles.
Below the open robe, the lines of his abs were faintly visible.
The man's hair was slightly damp, as if he had just showered.
Under the warm light, he looked like a seductive fox—wild and incredibly alluring.
It had to be said.
After a full day of mental exertion that left her exhausted, seeing a face like that…
was quite a pleasant sight.
The man heard her footsteps and turned his head slightly.
When he saw Serena, his striking eyes, which had been shimmering with a lazy charm under the warm light, instantly filled with a smile.
The way the corners of his eyes crinkled was dangerously charming.
"Our busy bee has finally emerged from her seclusion." His low, magnetic voice was tinged with amusement.
He handed Serena a glass of freshly warmed milk.
Serena took it and took a sip.
The warm liquid soothed her stomach.
The warmth seemed to spread to her heart as well.
She sipped the milk, watching the man stand at the stove, skillfully dishing out the food from a small pot.
With his movements, the open collar of his robe revealed tantalizing glimpses of muscle, catching the light and dazzling Serena's eyes.
She averted her gaze. "Why are you still up at this hour?"
Nicholas's long fingers moved the spatula slowly and deliberately. A teasing smile played on his lips as he joked, "Her Majesty has not yet dined. How could this humble servant dare to rest? Naturally, I must be on call at all times, ready to attend to you in bed... oh, I mean, serve your meal."
He had the look of someone who had 'spoken too fast and almost let his true thoughts slip.'
It was so fake.
