Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 493

The smile in Nicholas's eyes deepened, and his mood visibly brightened.

His handsome, almost otherworldly face was no longer clouded by that cold, icy demeanor.

He let out a soft laugh, his cool gaze glancing at Riley.

Then, under Riley's terrified watch, he walked straight past him…

In the instant their shoulders brushed, Riley felt his soul leave his body, and his legs went weak.

He let out a yelp. "Nicholas, I was really wrong! I'll never have designs on Serena again!"

After shouting, he bolted toward the ballroom doors as if he'd seen a ghost.

For Riley, this was far more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

This was so scary!

He didn't want to be sent to some godforsaken outpost!

He didn't want to spend his life doing manual labor in the desert!

"Bang!"

In his panicked sprint, Riley knocked over a waiter's tray. Champagne and drinks spilled all over him, but he didn't even bother to clean himself off, just kept running.

Even his escape was utterly comical.

"Sir, Master Riley is…" Patton said, watching Riley's fleeing figure before turning to Old Mr. Blackwood.

Old Mr. Blackwood waved a hand. "Don't worry about him. I've already told security at all the exits not to let him leave the estate early tonight."

That troublemaker. All he ever did was cause trouble. If he left, there was no telling what kind of mess he'd get into and ruin Brianna's coming-of-age party.

"You like that type?" Nicholas asked, walking over to Serena. He lowered his gaze, noticing she was still watching Riley's back, and his tone soured slightly.
