One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 410 You Look Good in Anything

“Old guy?” Courtney stood there for a few moments before she realized that Dawn was referring to Elijah.

Elijah was nearly forty; it was understandable that a young girl who was about eleven or twelve would call him old. However, Dawn had never referred to Courtney in a similar way. She made it seem like Elijah was a whole generation older than Courtney.

She couldn’t stifle her laughter. “Yes, we’re going with him, but we won’t be living together with him. You don’t have to worry.”

“Huh?” Dawn suddenly looked disappointed. “We won’t be living together?”

“What’s wrong?” Courtney didn’t understand as she looked at Dawn with a probing guess. “You look pretty disappointed.”

“How can I not be? He was the first person I saw since getting off that island. He saved me.”

On the day they made their escape from that island and sank into the waters after their bullet-ridden boat capsized, Alexander had been the one to save Courtney. Meanwhile, Dawn had been saved by Elijah, who had jumped into the water at the same time. When Dawn woke up, he was the first person she saw. Over the last few days, Elijah had sent people to take care of her, and he also personally went to the police station during the few times they needed him. It was normal for Dawn to feel attached to Elijah.

Courtney began to grasp the situation. “We may not be living together with him, but the place we’ll be staying won’t be far from his. We can meet up with him often,” she explained.

After hearing that, the disappointment on Dawn’s face eased up a little.

“Okay, don’t overthink it. I’ll get someone to show you around Melrose these few days. Once your adoption papers have been finalized, you can leave this place with us.”

Dawn nodded. After assuring Dawn, Courtney walked over to the door, but she suddenly thought of something then. She turned to look at Dawn. “Before we leave, do you want to see your father?” she asked.

“No.” Dawn wrinkled her forehead before she resolutely elaborated, “He’s not my dad.”

Courtney didn’t chastise Dawn or affirm her. She simply nodded and closed the door.
