Chapter 189

“Seriously, man, you think every pretty girl is like Mom or something? Hanson shot his brother a lad disdain. “Always playing favontes, aren’t you?”

Felix snorted. “Bro, you’re acting weird today. You weren’t like this before”

Glancing back at Kristin who was sitting by the seashore, Felix quietly asked, “You know that chick over there?”

“Kristin, ever heard of her? Hanson replied indifferently.

“Kristin?” Felix wasn’t much for keeping up with local gossip, shaking his head.
