Chapter 131 I’ll Be Back as Soon as Possible

It was already dawn when Alexander finished his shower. Moonlight spilled through the window and after the bathroom lights were turned off, the room became somewhat colder.

Courtney felt Alexander hug her from behind and she was enveloped in heat. She felt like a steamed bun, the blanket turning into a piping hot steamer.

Feeling a little hot, she couldn’t help but squirm.

“Did I wake you?” Alexander’s voice sounded in her ears. His voice had dipped low, bringing with it a sense of temptation.

She went along with it and said, “Yeah. Why did you come back so late?”

 

“Some delays during the day.”

“Is everything done?”

 

“Not yet.”

Courtney thought of the message earlier and was silent for a moment. “How long is it going to take? Will you still be able to attend the farewell banquet next weekend?”

Hans, Jennifer, and the rest of their group would be staying in Melrose City for half a month and their farewell banquet was scheduled for next weekend. No matter how busy Alexander was, he should attend the party.

“I will.”

Courtney frowned but held her tongue and did not continue to question him.

She was still brooding over the matter when Alexander spoke. “About Jordan’s inability to speak… I’ve found a German doctor who specializes in this area but it’s not easy to get an appointment, so I’m bringing Jordan to Germany tomorrow. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

For a moment, Courtney was bemused. So this is what I was getting upset about?
