One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 62

Chapter 62 A Significant Reason

Alexander spoke from the other end of the line as if whispering close to Courtney’s ear, instantly reminding her of that particular night. She instantly went red in the face. How could that be possible? I have no recollection of that at all.

“It can’t be possible, right?” Courtney braced herself and asked in reply. “How could I have possibly made such a request?”

I must have gone insane instead of getting drunk.

“What are you suspecting?” Alexander’s questioning voice was heard over the phone. “Why do you think I would make up this kind of request if you don’t believe it?”

Courtney was rendered speechless. Alexander’s right—why would he make up such a request if I didn’t make such a request myself? This doesn’t make sense.

 

Even though she was reluctant to believe that she had made such a request herself, she would rather believe that she had talked nonsense in a drunken stupor than believe that Alexander was lying to her about this kind of thing. Therefore, she withdrew her remarks right away and stammered, “That’s not what I meant. I was drunk that day. I-I’ll go to your place and pick Tina up right away.”

After she hung up the phone, the taxi driver sped all the way, and she arrived at the Royal Park Manor soon after that.

 

It was already dark, and Alexander was in the living room with the two kids. Upon seeing Courtney, Jordan became the first to rush at her and wrapped his arms around her feet.

Courtney patted his head. “Good boy, Jordan. Be careful with your hand, and don’t bruise yourself again. Does your hand still hurt?”

Jordan shook his head while staring at Courtney with yearning eyes.

It was normal for kids to have a speedy recovery, so the plaster cast on his hand had been taken off. However, the doctor had instructed him to be careful while using his hand.

The cook, who was serving the dishes, said with a smile upon seeing Courtney, “You came back just in time, Miss Hunter. The dishes are all ready, so you may have dinner now.”

“Huh?” Courtney was startled for a moment. Feeling a little ill at ease, she refused, “There’s no need for that. I’m just here to pick Tina up.”
