Chapter 299
Fiona guided Serena to a seat at the table and quickly brought her a plate and utensils.
Serena looked at the table laden with steaming, exquisitely prepared dishes.
They looked, smelled, and tasted incredible.
And they were all her favorite types of cuisine.
Serena looked up in surprise at Nicholas as he approached.
An heir like him, born with a silver spoon and accustomed to a life of luxury p>
He actually knew how to cook?
And this professionally?
Nicholas sat down beside Serena, a lazy smile on his thin lips. “What can I say? I have to be prepared to cook for Your Majesty. Of course I had to max out my cooking skill points p>
Serena saw him starting to show off like a peacock again and fell silent for two seconds. “You’re breaking character, Nicholas p>
She enunciated the last word with a bit of force.
The man let out a low, soft laugh. He was sitting so close to Serena that when he turned slightly toward her, their proximity became intimate once again.
So close that Serena could clearly see his deep, mesmerizing eyes focused on her.
The upward tilt of his eyes held an undisguised allure, as if hiding a hook. He smiled. “Breaking character? Not at all. With you… this has always been my character p>
Serena was speechless.
He got to her again with his smooth talk.
She decided to shut up and eat, not responding any further.
This man was shameless when he started showing off.
If she engaged him any more, he’d probably perform a full 360-degree peacock display on the spot.
Serena picked up her utensils and buried her head in her food.
After putting a piece of food in her mouth, her eyes instantly lit up.
She had to admit, Nicholas’s cooking p>
Far exceeded her expectations!
It tasted amazing.
Everything, from the heat control to the seasoning, was perfect, easily rivaling a professional chef!
Nicholas watched the girl’s expression the entire time.
Seeing her eyes sparkle and the pace of her eating pick up, a smile spread across his face. “How is it p>
Serena swallowed the meat in her mouth and nodded with a hint of pride. “It’s alright. Edible p>
However, for something that was just “alright,” her utensils never stopped moving. She was eating much faster than usual.
Nicholas’s lips twitched in a smile. He didn’t say anything more and started eating with her.
But while he was supposedly eating p>
Nicholas spent most of his time “serving” Serena, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.
By the time Serena put down her utensils and let out a satisfied sigh p>
Most of the dishes on the table were gone.
She had eaten even more than she had of Fiona’s cooking the night before.
The man’s eyes curved into a teasing smile. “This is just ‘alright’? This is just ‘edible p>
Serena said, I was using my brain too much. I was a little hungry p>
The curve of the man’s eyes deepened as he just watched her quietly.
Serena felt that you can’t be too harsh

n someone who just

with her praise.
She thought for a moment and said, “Actually, your cooking is pretty amazing p>
A satisfied smile bloomed on the man’s face. His coolly handsome features suddenly moved closer to her then, cook for you every day from now on.” Ceptent
Up close p>
The man’s face was even more devastatingly enchanting.
It had a soul-stealing hook to it.
As if he were casting a net of affection, trying to completely ensnare her within it.
This man p>
He really did have a flawless face.
He certainly had the looks to pull off a honey trap.
