One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 20

The butler quickly understood that he had jumped to conclusions, “That is true”

Scott‘s priority is to find a stepmother for Jordan–finding a wife for the Young Master is secondary. 

“Tina was brought up well. If Alexander had met such a woman earlier, perhaps Jordan would have been better taken care of; that incident three years ago wouldn’t have happened”

Scott’s sigh resonated within the car as he seemed very remorseful.

The butler comforted him. “Sir, it was not your fault. It has been three years, so let bygones be bygones. You shouldn’t blame yourself too much-even the Young Master has no intention of blarning you.”

His expression was sad. Scott replied in a hoarse voice, “If he didn’t blame me, he would’ve left Jordan with me rather than bringing him on his business trips for the past three years.”

After that day, Tina would use the excuse of going out to buy ice crearn so that she could secretly meet up with Scott at the case, each time, she went back home with a bag full of gifts.

Soon enough, Courtney found a lot of unfamiliar loys while cleaning up the clutter at home,

“When did you buy this little mermaid bracelet?”

Tina was fiddling with her new toys on the bed as she answered with a poker (ace, “It was a gift that come with the ice cream”

Courtney frowned “Have there been many events at the ice cream store nearby?”

She was suspicious, but she wasnt worried that Tina would do anything bad, it was just a few toys, so it wasn’t that big of a deal

“I want to eat Japanese food Vom.my” 

When they came out of the kindergarten, Tina pleaded playfully as she tugged on Courtney’s sleeve and instantly dispelled all her troubles away 

“Alright, we shall eat Japanese food today” 

Since it was a Monday, there were not many people in the Japanese restaurant.

Upon their arrival, the waiter sat them at a secluded seat by the window which overlooked downtown traffic. The mother–daughter duo stared at each other in a daze after they ordered their food,

“Mommy, I think that you should probably go to work now.” Tina rested her chin under her palm. She was trying to figure out a plan to get these two people together.

“Why? Can’t I rest for two more days?”

It‘s not every day you get the chance to be paid for not working; we can talk about it when the week is over. 

“You have to seize the opportunity, Mommy!”

“What opportunity?”

“Your boss! Hes no handsome singel impactty sure that many beautiful women in the company are eager to pursue as you dont work hard, how am I going to survive in the future?”

“You brat! What are you talking about 7 Courtney glared at her and pinched her nose. “Where did you get all these ideas from? You haven’t even met my boss-how do you know he is handsome?”

Tina was dodging Courtney’s attacks when she suddenly brightened up and jumped on her chair, waving excitedly at a distance

Mr. Alexander? 

Isn‘t that Alexander and his temperamental young master? 

Damn it. I just recovered and came out for a walk; why do I have to bump into him? More importantly, why does Tina know him? What the hell is going on?

“In that case you should rest for a while longer You don’t have to rush back to work.”

Courtney was stunned by Alexander‘s words Since when did he become such a nice person to talk to? 

“Her hands are fine! She can go back to work tomorrow!” Tina interrupted.

“Tina!” Courtney glared at her Since when did her daughter become a snitch?

However, Alexander seemed unfazed by Tina’s words. He simply thought of it as a child’s joke and swiftly changed the subject. “Thank you for rescuing Jordan, I’m sorry for not visiting you at the hospital earlier, but when I finally went over, I was told that you had been discharged. I even thought about bringing Jordan to your house to express my gratitude.”

“No, no.” Courtney shook her head. “The holiday that you’ve given me is already considered a form of gratitude. After all, it is my duty as a company employee to ensure the safety of our guests anyway.” 

“That’s another issue.” Alexander glanced at Tina as his expression darkened, “However, you shouldn’t forget about the bet. I don’t plan on extending the three-month deadline.”

Courtney’s face turned sour when she heard his words. What does he mean by that? Is he trying to imply that the holiday I‘m on right now is equivalent to wasting my time? All the good feelings she felt
