One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 182

Chapter 182 The Older, The Wiser

After being mocked by Cameron for no reason, Courtney felt extremely uncomfortable. It feels like I’m being very selfish by deliberately hiding the truth from Alexander and doing many things for my own benefit. But, am I not doing this so that both my children can get along well?

With this self-doubt weighing down on her heart, it left her feeling a little uneasy when she visited her two children at the Duncans’ ancestral home. Especially when she heard Scott praising her for treating Jordan well. It made her face flush for an inexplicable reason. Jordan is my biological son. How can I not treat him well?

“Mommy, it’s been a long time since I saw you and Mr. Alexander coming together.”

During their lunch break, Tina and Jordan sat in Courtney’s arms, one on each side. Tina was chattering away endlessly. It seemed like she liked the living environment at the Duncans’ ancestral home.

“Don’t you know that he is a very busy man? Many things need to be taken care of after the fire broke out at the hotel.”

“But, why are you not going to work, Mommy?”

“I’m on vacation right now. This way, I can spend more time with the two of you. Don’t you like it?”

“I like it.”

Upon mentioning the fire, she turned her head away and rested her chin on the top of Jordan’s head. “Jordan, I’m sorry for not realizing that you were in the cold storage room the other day.”

 

At first, Jordan had been quietly listening to the conversation between Courtney and Tina. When he heard those words, he hurriedly got up from the bed, found his little drawing board, and quickly wrote several words. ‘It’s okay. I know you would have brought me out if you saw me, Mommy.’
