Chapter 283 Not Behaving

Christina took the dessert from him and asked, “Why do you have time to buy me ginger tea? Are you very free?”

Feeling rather cold, she thought some hot tea could help warm her up and make her feel much better.

Francis sat down across from her, his handsome face wearing a smile. “Did you catch a cold because you took care of me the last time around? If that’s the case, I must take responsibility and look after you in return.”

How am I supposed to explain why Francis is around at this late hour? Even if nothing had happened between us, Nathaniel gets jealous easily. He won’t listen to my explanation.

“Why are you here?” Christina asked and glanced in the direction of the lounge from the corner of her eye. The moment that door opens, all hell will break loose! How I wish I could just lock the door to the lounge now!
