One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 68

Chapter 68 I’m Not Going Home Tonight

Having lost her temper, Courtney chased both men out of the kitchen straight away.

These two are acting as if they’d skipped their meds today. If they continue wreaking havoc in the kitchen, I’m afraid lunch would never be served today.

In the end, both Alexander and Shay were shut out of the kitchen door. They exchanged glances, and it was clear that they held a tinge of contempt toward each other.

At that moment, Tina and Jordan were both pressed up behind the slit of the bedroom door as they were covering their mouths while snickering discreetly.

“Look, what did I tell you? With pressure, there’d be motivation.” Tina was especially gleeful.

 

Jordan nodded in agreement, looking delighted too. This is my first time seeing Daddy taking the initiative.

Lunch was particularly sumptuous that day. There were boiled fish fillets, braised chicken wings, fried shredded pork with asparagus, as well as tomato and egg soup. Three different dishes were served with a bowl of soup at the table, and the fragrance was simply tantalizing.

 

Everybody sang praises before they polished off every grain of rice and dishes on the table.

After finishing their meal, the two children went back to the room to continue playing, whereas Shay helped out by cleaning up the dishes. He seemed afraid he’d be robbed of the chance, and so he took the initiative to wash the dishes. “Courtney, I promise that I’ll get them sparkling clean.”

She was more than happy to take the chance to relax, and so she did not reject his offer. “Well, in that case, go ahead and wash the dishes, but please do not break anything.”

“Don’t worry.” With that, Shay brought the pile of dishes into the kitchen tentatively. Nevertheless, he suddenly felt that something was amiss halfway through washing the dishes.

I’m working hard washing the dishes here, but haven’t I just created a chance for Alexander to spend time alone with Courtney? He turned around in a hurry to peek into the living room. Those two aren’t in the living room—where are they?

Two adults and two children sat in a circle in Tina’s bedroom. There was a board game of Ludo in the middle, and each of them was in charge of a different color. They were engrossed in a friendly fight right now.
