Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 128

She absolutely could not let Serena say anything that sounded like accepting Nicholas!

Isabella fought to suppress the turmoil in her heart, forcing a perfectly composed smile onto her face.

After entering the room, her objective was clear: she had to make Serena understand that Nicholas was her man! She had to make Serena back off!

Isabella walked gracefully toward Nicholas in her high heels, the shyness in her eyes deepening. "Nicholas, why didn't you tell me you were coming? What a wonderful surprise."

Her posture suggested a deep intimacy between them, and her words declared that his arrival was a surprise meant for her.

The Lancaster and Blackwood families had always been on good terms.

She was confident that, in front of their families, Nicholas would play along and save her face.

Isabella's smile grew sweeter, and she shot a sideways glance at Serena, her eyes filled with provocation.

Her clumsy performance was laughable.

And Serena did indeed laugh out loud.

Her laughter carried a faint, mocking tone.

Isabella's expression stiffened slightly. She looked up, biting her lower lip, and glared at Serena with resentment.

What was that country girl laughing at!

What right did she have to look at her with such a mocking expression?

Was it so funny that she and Nicholas were close?

Before Serena came back, she and Nicholas had been engaged.

Even if Nicholas didn't acknowledge it now, the childhood engagement was an undeniable fact.

What was so funny about an engaged couple being close?

Isabella was filled with indignation, as if to prove her intimate relationship with Nicholas.

She even raised her hand to place it on his shoulder. "Nicholas, why aren't you saying anything?"

However, before her hand could touch him, Nicholas stood up in one fluid motion, effortlessly avoiding her touch.

He then took a long stride and positioned himself behind Serena.
