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.

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.”
