One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

When Courtney returned home at night, she wrapped an apron around her waist and cooked some noodles in the kitchen for Tina.

Then, Tina ran toward her with a smile and asked, “Mommy, are you in a good mood today?”

“What is it? Why are you asking?”

“I’m just asking!” Tina sniffed with her nose. “Mommy, did you receive flowers? I can smell the scent of it all over you.”

Upon hearing her daughter, Courtney immediately furrowed her brows.

However, Tina had not noticed it, so she continued to ask with expectation. “Is it Mr. Alexander? It smells like roses and is fragrant!”

The moment she spoke those words, a loud ‘clang’ was heard as Courtney immediately stabbed her knife on the cutting board and growled, “Do not mention his name to me!”

Instantly, Tina trembled as she felt a shiver down her neck. When she lifted her head, she saw Courtney’s gloomy face, causing her tiny heart to race while she quickly fled the scene. What happened? I thought sending her flowers would definitely win her over.

As the chopping sound of meat continued to ring in the kitchen, Tina hid in her bedroom and secretly made a call. “Grandpa Scott, Mommy seems to be angrier than before-no, she was merely unhappy before, but she’s really angry now!”

After a while of silence, he replied, “We’ll think of another way.”

In the dining room of the Duncans’ ancestral home, Scott looked gloomy as he hung up on the call. This makes no sense. I thought women are usually happy to receive flowers. Why is she angry instead?

Courtney seemed to have calmed down Quig dinner after chopping all those pork ribs, so she grabbed some ribs for Tina. “You should eat more. When I’m not at home during the day, you can heat up the ribs in the microwave yourself. You shouldn’t eat a lot of junk food.”

Tina bit her ribs and murmured, “Mommy, it’s boring to stay at home alone everyday. Why don’t you sign me up for extra-curricular activities?”

“Extra-curricular activities?” Courtney was slightly startled. “What do you want to learn?”

“Swimming!” Tina ran to her room before returning with a laptop that showed an admission advertisement for a summer swimming class. “I’ve already found a class. The kids can attend classes by themselves from Monday to Sunday whereas you can accompany me there on the weekends.”

“I don’t even know how to swim.” Courtney furrowed her brows. “Why should I even go there?”

“That’s fine. I’ve asked them and they told me that there will be a free class for adults on Saturday, so you can learn with me.”

“When did you ask?” Courtney looked confused.

“I called them earlier.” Tina wore an innocent expression. “Mommy, aren’t you always worried that I don’t eat well while staying at home alone? As long as you send me to the swimming class in the morning, they’ll even provide lunch!”

“Lunch?” Courtney scanned through the advertisement and mumbled. “It sounds too good to be true. I bet it isn’t cheap.”

“I’ve asked them about that too. There is a 50% discount on their onenina dov”

“That means…” Courtney quietly counted the price before letting out a sigh of relief. “That’s alright. I’ll sign you up tomorrow.”

Tina blinked her eyes. “Mommy, you’re the best. Then, you are coming with me to the swimming pool this Saturday, right?”

“No problem.”
