Chapter 436 The Same Flavor

Only the sound of her panting could be heard in the stairway. Courtney was tense as she leaned against the door and stared at Alexander for a moment before she slowly relaxed.

“How much did you drink?”

“I’m not drunk.”

She slightly frowned when she heard his reply. People who are drunk always claim that they are not. Based on his personality, he wouldn’t do something like taking the initiative to come to my place if he’s not drunk.

“You drank so much. How did you come?”

“I drove here.”

Courtney’s face darkened. “Don’t you treasure your life?”

Alexander ignored her and he slowly crouched while holding the wall for support. After picking up her keys and passing them to her, his usually cold eyes had a flicker of hope in them. “Are you worried for me?”

“I’m just worried that Jordan won’t have a parent to take care of him in the future.” Courtney took the keys from him in annoyance and glared at Alexander. “He is still young. Do you want to leave him all alone in the future?”

 

Alexander’s eyes slightly dimmed. After a moment of silence, he answered morosely, “I actually took a cab here.”

It seems like he is not completely out of his mind. Courtney shot him a glance and knowing that he was still conscious, she suggested, “Since you are not drunk, call your assistant to pick you up and send you home.”

With that, she opened the door and entered her house. When she closed the door again, it was so loud that the entire building seemed to shake.

After she entered her apartment, she placed the trash bags in her bin before she walked to the washroom and polished every surface with a clean cloth. Only ten minutes had passed after she was done with the cleaning.

However, it was now raining cats and dogs outside.

The flash of lightning instantly lit up the room as if it was still day before it was followed by a loud clap of thunder. It made the scene look terrifying as the rain pelted on her windows.
