NovelEndChapter 261 Chapter 261 As Noelle watched Nicolas descend the stairs, her eyes widened in surprise.
What is it? Nicolas chuckled when he noticed her wide eyed stare.
Do I have a flower growing out of my face or something? Noelle bounced over and clung to his arm, starry eyed . Nicolas, why do you look so good today? I think my heart just skipped a beat.
Today, Nicolas wore a tailored silver gray suit, perfectly fitted and far more refined than his usual casual or businesswear.
The look gave off a composed, mature vibe that only made his already devastating charm even more dangerous in Noelles eyes.
Dont I look good every day? he teased with a crooked smile.
You always look good.
Noelle nodded seriously.

The more restrained someone is, the more tempting they become.
