Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 394

Serena couldn't help but laugh. “You’re treating it like a family heirloom?”

Brianna lifted her chin proudly. “This was personally designed by you just for me, Serena! It’s completely my style. What’s wrong with treating it as a family heirloom? A dress designed by you is worthy of being one!”

If Brianna hadn’t been wearing a full face of makeup, Serena would have been tempted to pinch her adorable cheeks.

Serena smiled softly and gently patted her hair. “I’m glad you like it.”

“Like it? I absolutely, positively love it!” Brianna’s eyes were sparkling. “Serena, how are you so amazing? You’re a race car driver and a designer!”

The young girl’s enthusiasm was infectious.

Serena’s expression softened, a gentle smile gracing her lips.

“If you’re going to praise someone, it should be me,” a lazy, deep voice suddenly came from the doorway.

A tall and elegant figure leaned casually against the doorframe. “If I hadn’t spent a fortune to get the legendary designer Cloud out of retirement, you wouldn’t be wearing a dress designed by your dear Serena.”

Serena looked up.

The man stood backlit in the doorway, one hand casually in his pocket, the other holding an exquisite, multi-layered ebony food container.

From this angle, he truly had the air of an ethereal being.

Against the light, the deep red suit he wore seemed to glow with a bewitching radiance, which surprisingly complemented his usual lazy, devilish charm.

He wore no tie, and the open collar of his shirt revealed his prominent Adam's apple and a sliver of his pale collarbone, adding a touch of noble, languid allure.

But what was most striking…

Wasn't just the color of his suit.

It was the design details, which subtly echoed the fiery red dress Serena was wearing.

Brianna’s eyes darted back and forth, looking from Nicholas’s suit to Serena’s dress.

Suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and she covered her mouth, giggling. “Wow, Nicholas, your suit… it matches Serena’s dress so well. Are you two wearing couple’s outfits?”

From the moment he appeared, Nicholas’s gaze had been locked on Serena.

It was just as he had imagined…

In this dress, the girl was breathtakingly beautiful.

His eyes, dark as a midnight sea, swam with awe, fiery passion, and an intense, burning possessiveness.

And hidden within…

Was a burning sense of possession!

His gaze was so intense it could almost set Serena on fire.

The man handed her a pair of utensils.

Serena didn't hesitate and took them. “Thank you.”

She took a bite of one of the side dishes, and her eyes lit up slightly.

Then she took a spoonful of the oatmeal, and her eyes brightened even more.

Her long, dark lashes fluttered as she glanced at Nicholas.

This flavor…

He must have made this himself.

He had truly hit the mark with her palate.

“Oh, I just remembered, I need to go to the kitchen and check on my eighteen-layer cake!” Brianna said, glancing between Serena and Nicholas with a mischievous smile.

Grinning, she started to slip out. “Serena, take your time eating! There’s no rush!”

“Nicholas, you’d better take good care of my Serena!”

She winked at Nicholas and gave him a thumbs-up.

The meaning was clear—Come on, Nicholas, step it up and put a ring on her finger already!
