One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 164 He Would Probably Lose His Hearing Too

Courtney fell silent. Knowing that she was blundering, Cameron quickly explained, “None of this is important. What matters most is the money you have with you. Didn’t I tell you to visit your father more often so that he won’t leave all his assets to that b*tch Anna, thinking that she’s his only daughter?”

“He can give it to her if he wants to. I don’t care about that.”

“Courtney, you have to make plans for the future. Don’t lose both your money and your life.”

Cameron’s advice instantly reminded Courtney that she needed a lot of money to ensure that there was a contingency plan for her to get custody of Jordan if she really broke up with Alexander. Lately, it had been so peaceful that she thought she wouldn’t need this retreat anymore. After putting some thought into it, she replied, “I understand.”

At 1:30 PM, Courtney took an hour off from work to send Oliver to the airport.

“Let me know when you get there.” While Courtney stared at Oliver, who was dressed in a casual suit, her mind was not at ease.

“I’m an adult.” Oliver was helpless looking at her reaction. “Stop staring at me like I’m a kid. You’ll make me feel like you’re my mother.”

“Your mother?” Courtney was surprised. “Do you remember your mother?”

“I was just saying that you feel like a mother to me.” He looked down and sniffled, trying to hide away the momentary panic in his eyes.

After making sure that Oliver had gone into the airport checkpoint, Courtney finally left the airport. A roaring sound flew across the sky. Looking up, Courtney could see the long trail left behind by the plane. Subconsciously, she checked the time on her watch; it was exactly 2 PM.

Alexander’s flight was at 2 PM, she
