One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Just How Much Does She Want This Marriage?

When she heard Cameron say ‘you’ve got your heart set on him’ in such a calm manner, a rock that had seemingly been suspended in Courtney’s head for many days crashed to the ground with a loud smash all of a sudden, shattering into countless shards in her mind. How is this possible?

“Anyway, there’s no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. Alexander’s a young guy, and he’s the CEO of Sunhill Enterprise. He’s one busy man; why would he help you out with your daughter in his free time? Other than his mutual interest in you, I can’t think of any other reason that can explain his actions. It’s that simple.”

“He only likes me because Jordan loves my cooking.”

“In that case, he’s definitely thinking of marrying you for life.”

“No way.”

 

Cameron turned a deaf ear to Courtney’s constant denials, even going as far as to giggle jovially at her; it was as though Cameron had already won the argument and was preening over her victory. She didn’t care how Courtney was going to perceive her for this.

That night, Courtney couldn’t sleep at all. Cameron’s words about how she had her heart set on Alexander kept replaying themselves in her mind, as well as the various bits of daily life she shared with Alexander.

 

When she got up to drink some water and groped her way to the living room, she saw a new tea set on the table. At that moment, she recalled how one of her cups at home had been chipped, but she made Alexander drink out of that cup. The next day, he showed up at her home with a new tea set. That wasn’t all; during this period of time, Alexander would constantly bring new things over. It was to the point where he had practically invaded every corner of her apartment.

At that thought, Courtney clutched at her cup, her heart beating erratically.

The next morning, Courney received a text from Alexander on her way to work. ‘Tina has been sent to school already. Don’t worry.’

She typed out a single ‘thanks’ with much difficulty as she stood there, squashed inside the subway carriage; the corners of her lips curved into a sweet smile without her realizing.
