Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1190

With a soft click, the door locked from the outside.

Nicholas immediately saw through his sister's little scheme. He sighed, walked to the door, and rattled the handle. "Brianna, open the door."

Brianna let out a highly exaggerated yawn from the hallway. "Oh my, I'm so sleepy. I can't keep my eyes open, I need to go to bed. Nicholas, remember to massage her temples if she gets a headache, and the water is on the nightstand."

She stifled a laugh through the wood. "Take good care of her, okay?"

Leaning against the door, Brianna covered her mouth and giggled. In her head, she was screaming, *Nicholas, this is all I can do for you! You better work hard and lock this down!*

This way, her great assist wouldn't go to waste!

Listening to her fading footsteps, Nicholas pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. That girl was entirely too obvious.

He walked back to the bed, his gaze falling on the girl resting there.

Serena was sleeping deeply, her breathing shallow, the usual unapproachable coldness stripped away. Her serene, soft sleeping face made her look incredibly delicate.

Nicholas watched her for a few seconds, then turned to go to the bathroom for a warm towel.

Suddenly, Serena opened her eyes. The usual icy demeanor was gone, replaced by a heavy, captivatingly seductive haze.

"Serena..."

Before he could finish her name, she reached out and grabbed his tie.

Caught off guard, Nicholas lost his balance. Guided by her pull, his tall, lean frame bent down. His knee hit the edge of the mattress, and he planted one hand beside her to steady himself and avoid crushing her.
