Chapter 313
The messages kept coming, one after another, each one dripping with self-serving calculations and patronizing lectures. Every line was a blatant attempt to commodify her.
Someone like him… truly didn’t deserve a family.
With a blank expression, Serena blocked the number. She then expressionlessly declined a call from Patrick, who was using a different number, and blocked that one too. When another unknown number started spamming her with texts, she didn’t even bother to open them, simply blocking it with the same deadpan look.
This time, the world was finally quiet.
“Tsk, this Mr. Wynn is quite persistent,” a low, lazy voice remarked, laced with a teasing smile that filled the cozy space with a magnetic charm.
Serena turned her head. She saw the man resting his chin on his hand, the corners of his eyes lifted as he watched her with leisurely amusement. The flickering city lights outside the car window danced across his near-perfect face, adding to his devilishly handsome allure.
His gaze on her felt almost searing, so intense it made her feel a little flustered.
Serena pressed her lips together and asked, “What are you looking at p>
“You, of course,” Nicholas replied with a low chuckle, the upward tilt of his eyes seeming to carry a hook. “Although this Mr. Wynn isn’t a great person and his brain is a muddle, he did say one thing that I wholeheartedly agree with p>
Serena was confused.
“You Nicholas suddenly leaned slightly closer to Serena, instantly closing the distance between them.
Serena could even Leven feel the warmth
of his breath ghosting past her ear. His voice was a low, honeyed draw that seemed to vibrate right through her skin. Miss Lancaster when are you planning to upgrade me from ‘roommate’ and ‘sugar daddy’ to official boyfriend p>
“I’m quite eager for that promotion p>
His enchanting eyes, so close to hers, seemed to hold all the light of a spring day shining with undisguised possessiveness. His lazy voice was slow and deliberate, each word a calculated flirtation that drilled into her ears.
The car felt small, and his warm breath was a powerful, palpable presence, filled
with an intimate tension. Serena could feel a blush creeping up her cheeks.
This man… he was a total fox. Shamelessly charming at every turn. And he was so… irresistibly good at it.
Serena’s long, dark lashes trembled.
A few seconds later, she raised her hand.
Just as a slight smile curved the man’s eyes, certain his handsome-man tactic was working and the young woman was about to lose control p>
Her hand landed squarely on his face. Her fair little hand, showing no mercy, gave
his unfairly handsome face a firm push, sending him back.
Her expression was calm, her voice steady. “Stop being crazy like a fool p>
Pushed back, Nicholas leaned
against his seat, still watching her
with his head tilted. Seeing her
placid expression, he let out a delighted laugh. The sound was filled with an almost indulgent affection.
No matter. At the very least, it proved that his face had an effect on Serena. It was
clear his relentless charm was finally starting to wear her down.
