Chapter 256 Looking Like a Hooligan

“What are you talking about?” Courtney was slightly anxious.

“Stop asking the obvious.” Alexander scowled. “Mikayla and I never planned to get engaged. We are merely together because Grandpa has been keeping an eye on us. Besides, I said that during lunch because I was worried that he would make things difficult for you.”

Courtney let out a sigh of relief and she picked up the carrot from the basin to continue peeling it. “That’s none of my business; it’s between you two.”

Upon witnessing her cold and distant attitude, Alexander’s gaze turned dark. “I have now explained the misunderstanding from before, so I don’t think it’s necessary for us to act like strangers.”

Agitated, Courtney tossed the vegetables in her hands when she heard that. “Do you think I’d allow a stranger to stay the night in my home for no good reason?” She turned around to ask him and her reaction was slightly intense, likely due to the excessive psychological pressure she had been experiencing lately. Hence, she lost her temper when he questioned her.

 

Alexander was stunned into silence for a moment.

“I’m sorry.” Courtney frowned and she turned around to pick up the carrot. “You should go back to the living room and have a seat. Dinner will be ready soon.”

 

Alexander stared at her back as he asked persistently, “Why are you so forgiving toward Jordan but not me?”

Courtney tightened her grip around the carrot while answering vaguely, “Jordan is just a child. Are you comparing yourself to your own son?”

Alexander was rendered speechless by her response. Since Courtney ignored him, he insisted on staying in the kitchen to wash the vegetables.

After he hung around shamelessly in the kitchen for the longest time, Courtney finally lost her patience. “You don’t have to wash every stalk of the enoki mushroom. Can you please go out if you haven’t a clue what to do?”

After dinner, Courtney urged the two children to shower in her bathroom, whereas the other two men were assigned to the bathroom outside.
