One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 476

Chapter 476 The Fight for the Duncans’ ‘King of Chess’ Throne

Eric obediently followed after Alexander, who was carrying his luggage, as soon as Alexander’s figure, which covered half the door, had gone out. While carrying and pulling the luggage all by himself, Eric didn’t forget to fawn.

“As long as you take good care of the Young Mistress.”

Upon hearing that, Alexander quickly clasped his fingers around Courtney’s slender ones. He had a loving look in his eyes as he lowered his gaze to look at her.

“Let’s go home, my wife,” he cooed sweetly.

Her expression remained impassive as she was used to hearing him say things like this. However, this was the first time Eric had heard the young master he had served for years speak in such a mushy tone. He was so surprised that he lost his footing. He then pushed the luggage wheels off the ground, and the luggage fell with a loud thud.

“Did you not have dinner?” a gloomy voice rang out from behind, obviously displeased. Despite the darkness of the dawn, it was easy to see the nervous sweat on Eric’s light blue shirt as the clumsy man hurried to pick up the fallen luggage.

Courtney couldn’t help but pity him as she watched him frightfully stuff the luggage into the trunk of the vehicle.

After the couple had gotten into the car, Alexander leaned against Courtney’s shoulders. At that moment, he looked somewhat exhausted with a frown on his face.

Eric tried his absolute best to keep the drive smooth, and when he saw the couple asleep through the rearview mirror, he finally heaved a breath of relief. However, the ringing of a phone at that moment immediately broke the peaceful silence in the car.

 

Alexander took out his phone from the pocket of his shirt.

At the same time, Courtney, too, reached into her bag and fished for her phone with her eyes closed.

The two unconsciously exchange looks after getting calls at the same time. They each then leaned to the windows of the car.

“What is the matter, Gale?”

“Hello? Cameron?”

“You are calling because your wife told you to? Do you not have your pride as a man?”

“Did you force Gale into this again? Okay, okay. I will treat you to a meal to make up for it someday, alright?”

“…”
