Chapter 409 When Are You Leaving?

“When are you leaving?”

Alexander’s voice pulled Courtney back from her reverie. His words struck her. She initially hadn’t thought about that matter, but from the sound of Alexander’s tone, it seemed that he was already sure that she would leave Melrose City.

For some reason, she ended up saying, “I brought a girl back from the island. Once her adoption papers have been signed, I’ll leave.”

Alexander nodded contemplatively. A pause later, he said casually, “If you need any help, just look for Gale.” After all, Gale’s background would speed up the paperwork process.

He really wants me to leave that badly, huh? Courtney unconsciously dug her nails into her palms. She just felt her hands and feet go cold. All the words that she wanted to say had disappeared in an instant, having been forgotten. After remaining there for a while, she could no longer bear it and left the hospital.

It wasn’t until she reached the entrance of the hospital that Courtney remembered she had been wondering if she should tell Alexander about her pregnancy when she visited him. In the end, however, she had even forgotten to ask after him. And from how he behaved—how he seemed sure that she would leave—she couldn’t open her mouth and tell him. Courtney stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with self-ridicule.

True to Alexander’s word, the Duncan Family’s butler, Harry, brought Jordan to Twin Peaks Manor later that night.

“Miss Hunter, the little master will be under your care in the future.”

Courtney suddenly felt a sense of guilt at the sight of the awkward look on Harry’s face. “Mr. Harry, what did Grandpa say? Is he actually willing to let Jordan stay with me?”

 

Scott only had a single great-grandson, and he had pinned all of his hopes for a future heir on Jordan. Logically speaking, he wouldn’t have agreed to let Courtney take Jordan with her.
