Chapter 706
Went a little wild?
He could tell.
When Serena stepped out of the car, her hair was noticeably tousled.
She definitely went wild.
And p>
Meet the family?
Those words made Nicholas’s expression turn positively lethal.
Without saying a word, he swept Serena off her feet and strode directly into the hotel.
“Nicholas!” Serena lost her balance and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. “Put me down p>
“No p>
Nicholas spat the word out harshly, tightening his grip on her.
His lips were pressed into a thin line as he looked down at her, his heart caught in a war between crippling jealousy and overwhelming affection.
Serena stared at his tense jaw and the reddish tint at the corners of his eyes, fueled by pure jealousy.
He looked like a massive guard dog whose favorite toy had just been stolen— aggrieved and furiously territorial.
Seeing him like this, the residual adrenaline from the race faded away. She actually found it quite amusing.
She had just endured a high-stakes race and was genuinely tired.
Since he was willing to carry her, she couldn’t be bothered to struggle.
She simply let Nicholas carry her into the elevator, lazily giving him the floor and room number.
They reached the room.
The door clicked shut.
The moment Serena’s feet touched the carpet, before she could even steady herself, a powerful force pinned her against the door.
“Why are you here?” Serena asked, trapped between his arms and his chest. She was entirely enveloped by his crisp, pine-scented cologne.
Nicholas looked down at her, his dark eyes burning with chaotic emotions. His voice was hard. “If I didn’t come, you were going to run off with some random guy p>
“What random guy?” Serena poked his chest in amusement. “Watch your words p>
“You’re still defending him!” Nicholas was so angry the edges of his eyes turned redder. He sounded exactly like a loyal dog throwing a massive tantrum You didn’t listen to word I said p>
“Hm?” Serena looked up, confused.
Nicholas puffed up with righteous anger. He leaned in closer, his hot breath brushing against her skin. “You promised to text me when you woke up. Why didn’t you send me a single message? ‘
“So, you hopped on a flight?” Serena laughed.
Nicholas stood his ground. “I told you, if you didn’t check in, I would fly out here to find you p>
Serena called him out. “It takes over ten hours to fly here from the country. You must have left right after we hung up yesterday, Nicholas p>

Even with his impatience exposed, Nicholas remained completely unapologetic. “Because I knew once you got busy you wouldn’t check in, and you’d forget all about me p>
He paused, his eyes growing redder. “If I hadn’t come, I never would have known
my fiancée was out going ‘a little wild’ with some guy! And meeting his family p>
He practically ground his teeth together as he repeated Douglas’s exact words.
Serena blinked. Seeing his devastatingly handsome face twisted with jealousy gave him a dangerous, seductive appeal.
His aggrieved, possessive expression was incredibly cute.
She suddenly felt the urge to tease him. She curled her red lips into a smile. “Actually, he’s great p>
His eyes darkened ominously.
She kept smiling. “He’s handsome, he can fight, and he’s loaded. He even stepped
up to handle my mess and got revenge for me today p>
“Hanging out with him really is a thrill p>
