Chapter 339 They’re Just Thinking of Taking Advantage

Hearing this, the coldness in Alexander’s eyes slowly disappeared. His hands gradually became warm, and the resentment in his heart dissipated. A moment later, he held Courtney’s hand. “I’m sorry.”

As she shook her head, she said thoughtfully, “It’s alright. I know you didn’t mean to take it out on me.”

With that, he took her into his arms. “To be honest, I’ve thought of how she would come back to see me many times. After all, I’m her son. Yet, she never came back for the past twenty years.”

Who would ever understand the myriad of emotions that overwhelmed me when I saw her in Oreus before?

Courtney wanted to tell him something, but it didn’t seem to be the right time to do so because it might backfire if she stood on Fiona and Oliver’s side now. Hence, she didn’t mention anything. Besides, she was still troubled with some questions, so she had to make things clear with them first.

In the evening, they picked up the children before going to the hotel for dinner. Stephen and his family were invited too as they wanted to go over some details about the wedding.

Seated at one end of the table was Scott. As soon as he saw Alexander and Courtney arrive, the imposing look he had on melted away at once, and he beckoned them to take a seat.

“Hey, we’ve been waiting for you. What took you so long?” Maryse, who was nearly 50 years old, spoke. Her sable fur coat hung on the chair. There was a judgemental look in her eyes as Courtney entered through the door.

“We went to pick up the kids,” Courtney explained drily.

 

In truth, Courtney wasn’t exactly close with Maryse because she was usually with her grandfather during those years when she stayed with the Somerfields. Occasionally, she would meet Alicia’s family. As for Stephen and Maryse, she would only meet them once every year on New Year.

This time, Stephen and Maryse were invited to dinner simply because Scott thought that Courtney had no one else from her side of the family and was afraid that people might think she had no one to count on. Besides, according to Melrose’s tradition, Stephen was considered the head of the family. Hence, he would have a seat at the bridal table during the wedding. That was why Scott asked Courtney to invite Stephen.
