Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 314

314 /340

Soon, the car pulled up to a refined, private dining restaurant not far away.

Nicholas had clearly made reservations in advance. The moment they arrived, a waiter guided them to their seats. It was a prime spot by the window with an excellent view.

Outside, the city lights sparkled. Inside, the lighting was soft, the atmosphere quiet and tinged with a hint of intimacy.

They had barely settled in before the dishes began to arrive. Serena looked at the spread on the table; once again, every single dish was one of her favorites.

Serena was truly starving. As soon as the food was served, she picked up her utensils and started to eat.

After one bite, Serena couldn't help but look up at Nicholas. This man seemed to have an incredibly precise grasp of her tastes, right down to her preferred level of spiciness. Whether it was the lunch he had cooked himself or the meal at this restaurant, everything hit the mark on her palate perfectly.

"How is it?" Sensing her gaze, the man, who was naturally serving her food with the communal utensils, raised his eyebrows to look at her.

Serena's mouth was stuffed with a large bite of meat. Hearing his question, she moved her jaw but couldn't swallow just yet, so she simply nodded. Her cheeks were puffed out, and her clear, bright eyes sparkled under the soft light.

She looked completely different from her usual cool and collected self. It was a different kind of beauty, utterly adorable.

So adorable that he wanted to…

Nicholas’s gaze grew heavy, his pupils dilating as he watched her with a raw, unspoken hunger. With some difficulty, he tore his gaze away, inch by inch, from her full, pink lips.

Serena didn't notice anything unusual, her attention completely focused on the delicious feast before her. She was eating with gusto, determined to fill her stomach first.

Nicholas, however, ate very little. He simply sat beside her, expertly using the serving utensils to fill her plate. He chose the best cuts of honey-glazed pork, perfectly balanced between lean and fat. He meticulously deboned the fish, leaving only the tender white flesh. He ladled the creamy crab soup into a small bowl and let it cool to the perfect temperature. He shelled a whole bowl of shrimp, removing the heads and tails until they were perfectly clean.
