One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Who Gave It; Return It

After a night of passion, Courtney and Alexander fell into a deep sleep. By the time they woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning.

“What time is it?”

Courtney rolled herself over. With her droopy eyes, she looked at the figure at the end of the bed.

Alexander was fastening his watch strap around his wrist. Upon hearing her question, he turned around and looked at her. “11 AM.”

“11 AM?”

 

Courtney was wide awake all of a sudden. Immediately, she sat up from the bed. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

This was her first visit to the Duncans’ ancestral home, and she slept for so long. Her image would be ruined if Scott knew about this.

 

“The servant came and woke you up three times, but you didn’t wake up.”

“That’s impossible.” As Courtney put her clothes on, she protested, “I didn’t hear anything at all. Stop fooling around.”

“That’s because you were exhausted from yesterday night. You were deep in sleep.”

“Who said I was exhausted?” Color rushed up to her cheeks. Lowering her head, she mumbled, “Don’t get cocky.”

“Really? Then, you should have heard what I just said to the servant.” Alexander looked at her in a teasing manner. As he turned around and leaned against the table, he slowly said, “I told the servant that you were too tired from last night, so we won’t be having lunch with Grandpa today.”

Upon hearing that, Courtney looked up immediately. She was so embarrassed that she was frustrated.

“You rascal…”

I wonder how thick his skin is? How can he say something like that without flinching?

“Are you angry?” Alexander looked at her, pretending as if he did not understand the reason behind her wrath. “So, you still want to have lunch with Grandpa?”

Annoyed, Courtney did not say anything. She left the bed and headed straight to the bathroom.

Staring at herself in the mirror, she saw her cheeks painted red and hickeys all the way down her neck. “Alexander Duncan!”
