One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 186 Are They Filming a TV Show?

Looks like only Courtney can change you. Gale’s words surged through Alexander’s mind.

“Courtney was the only one who broke all your boundaries, changed your principles, and even made you doubt yourself. She’s the first gray area you’ve encountered in your life.” When Gale’s emotions slowly stabilized, he sat back down in the chair and stared at Alexander. “Admit it. You can’t leave her anymore. Stop putting up a pointless struggle.”

The skin between Alexander’s brows crinkled together. It was uncomfortable to hear someone break down his personality and point out all the hard facts. Staring back at Gale, he muttered, “If you’ve had enough at my company, then go back to your own nest.”

With that, he left the conference room without looking back.

Gale had a hand on his chin and a sneer on his face. He’s still trying to save his pride.

Alexander’s thirty years of life had gone so smoothly that even the flaws in his family did not become a major drawback for him. Ever since he was born, he was always more stoic than his peers. The death of his father cut off the only tenderness in his childhood.

During the funeral, his mother, who had run off for half a year, seemed to finally turn over a new leaf. She decided to stop chasing her dreams and freedom and said that she would take care of him.

But, he was calmer than anyone else as he said to her in front of the whole Duncan Family, “Go to the treasury and ask them to write you a cheque for any amount you want. Once you get the money, don’t ever show up in front of me again.”

This man who did not even acknowledge his own family continued to break his own boundaries for Courtney.

As the third party, Gale had a clearer view than he did.

“Hello? Cam.” Gale’s warm voice echoed in the conference room. “When do you have time for that camping trip I mentioned last time? I’ve got everything prepared. The weather has been quite good lately.”
