One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 503 You Are Hugging the Wrong Leg

After communicating with Alexander, Josh packed his things in a hurry to return, but it was at this time when something went wrong with a deal that was already settled. So, Josh could only stay back and address the matter while faxing the information to Eric.

Once Eric had compiled all the information, he then drove to Purple Peak Mountain estate on the west side of the city using GPS. When he boarded the bus at the estate’s entrance, it took him ten minutes to reach the courtyard.

Angie and Hannah were playing tennis not far away. Both of them were exhausted and radiated the energy only a teenager had, making Eric feel hot-blooded.

Coughing lightly, he then waved to Alexander, who was sitting at the spectator spot.

Alexander was wearing a pair of sports attire today that showed off a different temperament and elegance. After seeing Eric, he pointed at the bus and walked over.

“Mommy, you can’t be biased.”

Josephine and Jimmy were each hugging Courtney’s legs while climbing up on her as if she was a slide at the playground.

Turning around, Alexander said sternly, “Do not bully my wife.”

As Jimmy slid down from Courtney, Alexander watched as the boy cautiously hid behind Josephine before leaving in satisfaction.

The bus then drove toward a tea plantation deep inside the mountain as the autumn wind blew, bringing along the refreshing feeling of nature with it. On the way here, Eric’s expression had turned from astonishment to disgust after what he saw.

“President Duncan, when did you buy Purple Peak Mountain?”

There was silence on Alexander’s part. Just as he felt speechless, the bus stopped. Shooting an inexplicable glance at Eric, Alexander then got off.
