One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 434 I Enjoy Clubbing the Most

There was a significant shock that flashed across Caleb’s face, but he soon calmed down after he suddenly recalled something. “Well, she hasn’t mentioned this at all.”

Meanwhile, Courtney faked an apology. “Gosh! My mom’s so careless! She should have clearly explained this to you. I’m sorry about that.”

“That’s fine. It’s not too late to know about this now.”

“I still feel bad about it. Mr. Menzie, you’re an eligible bachelor with a bright, shining future ahead of you after all. You must be speechless that you have gone on a blind date with someone like me. I can totally understand that.”

“It’s not a big deal.” Caleb was so calm that it was beyond Courtney’s expectations.

Furthermore, his answer left her in a state of shock.

Who in their right mind would think that it’s fine for their blind date to a divorcee with two kids?! Perhaps he’s merely putting on an act? Courtney silently considered the situation and took the chance to study him from top to bottom just as the waiter came to serve their meal. She was trying her hardest to look for a crack beneath Caleb’s chivalrous behavior.

“Dr. Hass, you must be generally busy with your work at the hospital. It must be quite tough to balance your work with looking after your kids.”

Moments after the waiter had walked off, Caleb took the initiative and brought up the topic about her kids.

Courtney revealed a slight smile. “It’s not that bad. I’m fine with it, but I don’t plan on having more kids in the future. After all, two is more than enough for me.”

Most men in this world would yearn to have children of their own, so she was quite confident that he would lose his patience when he heard her response.

However, he continued to slowly carve his steak with the same expression after she gave her answer. “If that’s the case, then that’s awesome! I share the same sentiments and I don’t want any kids either.”

“Huh?” She was stunned.
