Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 849

"Thank goodness," Catherine sniffled, wiping her eyes. "You're our little lucky charm, Serena. Since you came back, Grandpa's legs are healing, and your other grandparents are cured."

"Exactly! She's our lucky star," Edward beamed proudly.

Julian pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose, smirking. "By the way, Uncle Silas mentioned you orchestrated a massive Short Attack against Wall Street while you were over there?"

Serena smiled. "He told you about that?"

Julian's eyes gleamed with professional admiration. He leaned across the seat. "When are you going to swing by the Lancaster Group and help us pull off something that big?"

Catherine immediately smacked the back of Julian's head. "She just got off a fifteen-hour flight, and you want her to work? Give her a break!" She turned back to Serena. "Ignore your brother. Let him deal with his own corporate headaches."

During the meal, the family repeatedly thanked Nicholas for dropping his business in Elyndor to accompany Serena. They had heard from Silas just how devoted Nicholas had been. While they were still a bit territorial over Serena, they silently agreed that if anyone was worthy of her, it was him.

Nicholas met their gratitude with a humble, adoring gaze directed entirely at Serena. "I was only doing what I should."

After dinner, the family insisted Serena get some rest. Nicholas took his cue and left, leaving Serena to sleep off her jet lag. She spent the next two days lounging around the estate, thoroughly enjoying the lazy routine of sleeping, eating, and tending to Old Mr. Lancaster's physical therapy.
