Chapter 21 You Ask Too Much
Alexander subconsciously turned to look when he heard someone calling him ‘Mr. Alexander’. He froze for a moment when he saw the little girl waving at him, feeling that she looked rather familiar. As he stared blankly at the girl, Jordan had already let go of his hand and ran over. Hence, Alexander had no choice but to follow him.
Courtney was blocking her face when she felt a tight grip on her legs. As she looked down, she saw a pair of big eyes staring back at her—Jordan was hugging one of her legs with an ecstatic look on his face.

Jordan is actually willing to get along with this little girl? He knew that his son had always been temperamental and had no friends among his peers. Alexander even tried to get his friends’ children to play with him, but Jordan couldn’t be bothered to make friends
