Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 143

Brianna seemed completely unaware of how shocking her words were.

She even patted Serena’s shoulder. "Besides, that's all part of my brother's dowry. Don't be shy about it, Serena!"

Serena didn't know what to say.

Dowry?

Didn't the girl think that word was a bit inappropriate to use for her brother?

It made it sound like… Nicholas was marrying into the Lancaster family.

What on earth had Nicholas been telling his sister?

Serena turned her head and shot a sideways glare at Nicholas.

But the man seemed oblivious to the hostility in her eyes. He simply curved his thin lips into a smile that was both heart-melting and teasing.

He looked for all the world like a sly fox.

He seemed to completely agree with everything Brianna had said.

Serena was speechless.

Ever since their childhood engagement had come out into the open, and she had admitted that his face was indeed enough to tempt her, the man had become more and more audacious.

Brianna was a clever girl and knew when to stop. Pushing it too far would only backfire.

She flashed a brilliant smile and looked down at the delicate little box she held in both hands, her eyes sparkling. "Can I open it now?"

Serena glanced at Nicholas again. "It's probably better if you don't right now."

Brianna's eyes widened. They darted around for a moment before she quickly tucked the box into her shirt. "Okay, I won't open it! I'll look at it in secret later!"

Serena chatted with her for a while longer, until a nurse came in with Dr. Beverly's instructions: Brianna needed one more detailed check-up before she could be officially discharged.

The nurse was going to wheel Brianna for the tests, and Nicholas, as a family member, had to accompany her.
