One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 All Is Well if He Can Talk

“Sorry to trouble you, but I have to go to Westwind District.” Courtney sat back in the car after coming out from the indoor swimming pool center. “The Duncans’ butler picked Jordan and Tina up already. I was a bit late.”

Oliver’s face suddenly grew somber. “Westwind District?”

“Is it too far away?” She stopped putting on her seatbelt halfway. “I’ll take a cab there. You can go ahead if you have things to do.”

“I don’t.” The expression on his face returned to normal, and he let out a chuckle. “What would I be busy with? I have no family or friends. I’ll take you there.”

His pure and innocent gaze was imprinted in the rearview mirror. Anyone who saw it would not doubt his words.

“Sorry for the trouble.” She also let out a chuckle. “It’s my fault for arriving too late. Alex’s grandfather is constantly worried about the two children and sends the butler out here in advance every day. The butler probably left with the children when he didn’t see me.”

By the time they arrived in Westwind District, it was already dark out. The security guard at the entrance of the Duncan Residence hurriedly stuck his head out the window of the guardhouse and greeted Courtney who was in the passenger seat. “Please give me a moment, Young Master and Young Mistress. There is a bit of a problem with this gate so it has to be opened manually.”

“Young Master?” Courtney was dumbfounded for a moment. “You’re mistaken. This isn’t Alexander.”

Stretching his neck out, the security guard stared inside the car for a few seconds, then knocked himself on the head and laughed. “Excuse my poor eyesight. I thought it was Young Master Alexander earlier. The young master has gone on a business trip, hasn’t he? They look rather similar at first sight. Who is this?”

 

“My friend,” Courtney answered in short. She did not see the need to explain any further.

Once the security guard opened the gate, Oliver started to drive into the ancestral home. They drove on a long road and took about five to six minutes before arriving at the front of the house.

“I won’t go in.”

“Okay. I’ll come out right after I get Tina and Jordan.”

After Courtney entered the ancestral home, Oliver looked out the windshield and was able to see the steps leading to the main entrance of the house. They were considered barriers through which one would enter taller and larger houses. He instantly became perplexed.

Suddenly, a pressing ringtone sounded in the car. He glanced at the number of the incoming call and answered it right away.
