At the Ashford residence, Grace frowned as she spotted the cast on Chris‘ arm. “What did you do this time? And what about that bruise on your face?”

After two nights of fighting with Sebastian, the bruise on Chris‘ face had turned even nastier.

Fred scoffed. “He has been in town for three days, and you still have not met him. Do you have any idea how
