Chapter 47 Why Would I Fall In Love
“Let’s go, Mommy.”
Courtney came to her senses and watched the rear end of the car disappear from the entrance of the neighborhood and coughed awkwardly.
On the way back, Tina took Courtney’s hand and looked at her knowingly.
“Mommy, did you just fall in love?”
“Who’s fallen in love?” Courtney denied. “Why would I fall in love?”
“You kept staring at Mr. Alexander and wouldn’t leave! Even I felt embarrassed for you, Mommy!”
Courtney blushed scarlet and was speechless.
When they exited the elevator, her expression changed as she remembered what Tina did earlier and grabbed her by the collar. “I haven’t settled the score with you. Who allowed you to casually invite others to our house? Did you ask for my permission?”
Tina struggled and protested. “Let me go, Mommy! My teacher taught us to return the courtesy from others.”
Courtney was speechless.
She didn’t really care if Tina’s teacher had taught them about courtesy. The following Monday, Courtney met Alexander at the entrance when kindergarten had ended; he was also there to pick his kid up.
“I’ll drop you guys off—it’s along the way.”
The black car was parked under the inconspicuous old locust tree. As Courtney saw the busy crowd on the street, she realized that it would be hard to get a cab; the subway would be difficult to squeeze in at this time too, so she agreed.
After arriving at their doorstep, she said politely, “Thanks a lot, President Duncan. If you hadn’t been so busy, I would have invited you to come up for dinner.”
She was obviously being courteous, but she was afraid that Alexander wouldn’t understand.
After all, some people pretended to be oblivious to such courteous words when they wanted to.
“I’m not busy.” Alexander’s voice echoed in her ears. “Since Jordan wants to eat your cooking and has refused to eat properly at home, let’s go.”
