One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Daughters Should Be Raised in Abundance

After Shay and Casey left, Courtney called Alicia. “Aunt Alicia, where’s Tina?”

“She just had her lunch. Your uncle put her down for a nap.” Alicia’s voice was heard from the other side of the phone. Her voice was much gentler than before.

“Uncle William is with her? Is he not working today?”

“Oh, we haven’t told you yet. He officially retired last week. At first, he went to Mayberry to attend an event held by the Calligraphy Association. But, when he heard that Tina was coming, he came back as soon as the event was finished. I told him he couldn’t take care of kids, but he insisted that he was good. Look at this man.”

Upon hearing Alicia’s complaint, Courtney let out a chuckle. “Uncle William has just retired. He’s probably just trying to keep himself busy.”

 

“That could be true.” Alicia grinned in response. “By the way, there’ll be a gathering this Friday night. The whole family will be having dinner together. No outsiders; just us and Stephen’s family. You should come too.”

Courtney hesitated for a moment. “We haven’t met for so many years. I don’t think I should go.”

 

“Why? You don’t want to get close with your grandpa’s family anymore?”

“That’s not what I meant, Aunt Alicia.”

“Come, then. I’ll pick you up at your place this Friday.”

Since Alicia insisted, Courtney couldn’t reject her again. Besides, the only family she had nowadays were the uncles from her maternal side.

She could actually understand Alicia’s effort.

On Friday night, Alicia came on time to pick Courtney up to bring her to the hotel for dinner.
