One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Oliver had not been in the lounge for long when Courtney was done with her work and came to the lounge to pick up the kids.

“You’re here too.” She smiled when she saw him. “Addie informed me that you went to Campus City earlier in the afternoon. Did you get anything?”

He shook his head. “I’m familiar with that place you mentioned, but it still doesn’t jog my memory.”

A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes as she comforted him. “I see, but don’t worry. Campus City is not a big place. I’ll accompany you there this weekend to ask sorne questions.”

Oliver smiled as if he was not concerned about regaining his memories and identity.

“Let’s have dinner tonight. I already found a great place.”

“Sure.”

Upon seeing how quick Courtney agreed to his invitation, Jordan’s expression immediately changed as he quickly wrote his words on the drawing board before holding it up for her to see.

‘Aren’t you going to my house?’

After reading his words, Courtney rubbed his head and smiled. “I’m going to your house, but in the evening. Mr. Harry called me in the afternoon to inform me that your father is away for the night because he needs to head on a sudden business trip. I feel worried about leaving you and Tina at home alone, so you are staying with me tonight. I’ll send you over tomorrow.”

Upon hearing her, Jordan’s brows became tighter. How can Dad go on a business trip at such a crucial time? Is every adult a careless person?

Although he felt upset about it, he had no choice but to follow them to dinner. When they arrived at the destination, his eyes were wide open.

At the bustling night market of Campus City, young men and women were walking down the streets while the various food stalls exuded a strong smokey crent. The place was so lively that Tina could not blink her eyes. “Wow! It’s so lively here!”

When Courtney heard Tina’s astonishment, she could not help but sigh. “It has been many years since I’ve been to a night market in the country. How do you find this place?”

“I remember a place like this in my mind.” Oliver’s eyes were filled with joy. “But I can’t remember who I came here with. However, it feels like I came to this place often, so I brought you here. I remember there is a clean

food stall nearby and it has a good business too.”

Courtney’s eyes flickered as she asked, “Are you talking about Mrs. Fletcher’s kebab?”

“You know about it?” Oliver was dumbfounded.

“I studied at a medical school in Campus City six years ago and that food stall is the most famous one around here. I can’t believe it is still open for business after so many years, but sadly, I never had the chance to head there.”

“This is a great opportunity for you to make up for the regret.” He followed up on her words and they went straight to the food stall.

Although it was still early at night, the food stalls were in full swing as people continuously came and went. It was fortunately still early, so they were able to find a seat.

Then, Oliver ordered the dishes as if he was familiar with them, before handing the menu over to the waiter.

“Other than the kebabs, I would like another two beef noodles. It’s for the kids, so please prepare a small portion and don’t make it spicy.”

After the waiter left, he turned toward Courtney and realized that she was looking around the place with the same curiosity as Tina.

“Haven’t you visited the food stalls in the night market before?”

“Not really.” Courtney turned her head and smiled embarrassingly. “I never had any friends in the country and the ones I have don’t usually come to this sort of place. Although I wanted to visit here, I never had the chance to do so because I’m always alone.”.

The moment she mentioned her past, she seemed to feel relieved, but in all honesty, she had suffered a lot back then.

During her early years in Melrose City, no one in the school dared to be friends with her because of Anna. As a kid, she became used to being alone until her years in university because she did not enroll in the same place as Anna. However, she was careless with her only best friend at that time as the latter became her first love’s lover.
