One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 She Is Not an Outsider

Early Saturday morning, Courtney was still sleeping when she was dragged out of bed by Tina.

“Mommy, it’s time to wake up.”

Courtney looked at the bedside clock in a daze and said desperately, “Tina, it’s only 7.00AM! What are you doing?”

Tina tugged on one of Courtney’s arms and puffed her cheeks. “Mommy, this is your first time going to Mr. Alexander’s house; don’t you want to dress up properly? Come on—get up, take a shower and change your clothes.”

Courtney hugged the pillow in exasperation.

 

Why did I give birth to such a shameless daughter who pushes me to any man she sees?

Under Tina’s continuous urges, Courtney put on some simple makeup and took out her usual T-shirt and jeans from the closet. Before she could even put them on, it was dragged away by Tina.

 

“Why are you wearing this, Mommy?”

“What else would I be wearing?”

“This one.” Tina pulled out a burgundy open-back dress from the closet. “This one is pretty.”

“Are you crazy?” Courtney smacked Tina’s head lightly. “It’s not like we are going to a nightclub—this is a formal dress. We’re just going to play at your classmate’s house; do I really need to put on a formal dress?”

“This one!” Tina suggested again as she tugged on a grey-blue dress. “This one should be fine.”

Courtney took the dress out and examined it for a while—it did look good, but she hesitated for a bit. “Wouldn’t it be inconvenient to wear a dress? Both of you will be jumping up and down.”

“No,” Tina raised her hand and swore. “I promise that I’ll behave today.”
