One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 270 Taking a Bet

“So, you guys have reconciled.”

In the video call across the Pacific Ocean, Cameron looked quite healthy and energetic. Her black iris turned as she was eager to hear the latest gossip.

After that night, Alexander officially moved into Courtney’s bedroom and they became even closer than the time that they started dating. Since he did not have to handle his company, he had much more free time than before, so he sent her to and from the office.

However, she still had worries that she could not deal with. She needed to tell someone about it and since there were not many people who knew about the matter, Cameron was the only person whom she could tell.

“Actually, I think this is pretty good. When you are together with Alexander, you don’t have to think about many problems. Your daughter is still yours and his son is also yours now—one less trouble to worry about.”

“It’s not that.” Courtney looked conflicted. “I feel like I’m lying to him.”

As the days passed, she could clearly feel Alexander’s feelings toward her. He was definitely loyal and genuine toward her while only wanting her to be happy. On top of that, he also loved Tina a lot.

However, if Courney did not hear from Tina that Alexander was searching for the surrogate woman, she would not have been impulsive that night. However, her advance was merely a safeguard that she created for herself before the storm arrived.

If he ever discovered that she was the surrogate woman, she could feign that she knew nothing about it. Since she was already his girlfriend, he probably would not even bring up the incident back then.

She was merely gambling with the fact that he cared for her enough to prevent any pain from hurting her.

On the other side of the call, Cameron snorted. “Actually, as an outsider, I think you can tell him the truth before he finds out about this huge incident. If you are really worried, you can send Tina to Eljiah’s place. With her being there, I don’t think
