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.
