Chapter 128 I Thought You Wanted Me to Stop

“Well, what do you think passes for sincerity?”

“I believe I should be asking you that question,” Alexander countered easily, his eyes sparkling deviously.

Courtney blushed and looked down, muttering, “The things that go on in your mind—and right in the middle of dinner, too.”

But before she could say anything else, she looked up to see Alexander standing up from his seat and leaving the table. “What are you doing?” she asked, her brows furrowing.

He strode toward the couch, picked up a huge purple gift box, then returned to the dining table. He undid the bow that was around the box and lifted the cover to reveal the teal-colored cheongsam within. The dress was exquisitely made, with a high neckline that featured the fine embroidery of a dark red flower.

 

“Since you’re going to show Hans and the others around Melrose City tomorrow, I figured you could dress for the occasion,” Alexander explained.

Realizing that she had made a mistake, Courtney secretly winced and wished that the ground would open up and swallow her. To make matters worse, Alexander had caught what she said and was now looking at her with wicked amusement. “So, what were you saying about the things that went on in my mind?”

 

Courtney avoided his gaze. “I said nothing. I’m going to try this on now,” she blurted as she hurriedly picked up the dress and darted around the partition to go into the bedroom.

Alexander smiled, clearly entertained. His eyes lit up as he heard the faint rustling of fabric coming from the bedroom, which indicated that Courtney was in the middle of trying on the dress, and he decided to walk in.

Courtney had her back turned toward him. She had pulled on the cheongsam and was now working on the clasp at the neckline. When she heard him come into the bedroom, she bent her head and continued busying herself with the clasp while grumbling, “I can’t quite manage to button this up. Is it supposed to be this difficult?”

As she grew agitated, a hand slid along her shoulder and gently pulled her hair back against her nape. Courtney began to turn around.
