Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Your House Is On Fire

Francis lowered his gaze momentarily and looked up soon. He teased, “You’re going on a date? Do you mind if 1 tag along?”

Christina was taken aback to hear that. Both men were at odds every time they met and wouldn’t stop until a winner was determined. His words made her shudder in fear.

“I was joking. Why do you look so serious?

Christina heaved a sigh of relief.

After they finished the dessert, it was almost time for her to leave. Christina cleared the empty boxes and said, “You go ahead. I need to pack up.”

Francis embraced Christina tightly, leaning on her for support. He greedily breathed in her scent and said, “There’s no need for that. Let me hold you and take a brief rest.”
