One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Although he knew that Tina liked to be close to him, Alexander never thought that the little girl intended to set him up with her mother. He froze for a few seconds before coming back to his senses and silently stroked the little girl’s head.

“Jordan also likes my mommy very much.”

Tina pulled out her killer move and winked. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jordan. He really wants my mommy to be his mommy too.”

Alexander’s gaze fell onto the hospital bed as he asked hesitantly, “Is that right, Jordan?”

Jordan nodded solemnly.

Alexander frowned as Tina’s voice came from beside him. “Mr. Alexander, Jordan doesn’t like that big star at all. If you want to look for a wife, shouldn’t you ask for his opinion? My mommy said that she would definitely ask for my opinion if she ever finds a stepfather for me.”

She was trying to implicate that as long as Alexander agreed, there wouldn’t be a problem from Courtney’s side.

Looking somewhat puzzled, Alexander asked, “Tina, don’t you already have a father?”

“I do, but ever since I was a kid, I hardly see my father twice a year.” Tina sighed in an adult-like manner with a sad face. “Isn’t it pitiful?”

After that, she quietly peeked at Alexander’s reaction.

Realization dawned upon Alexander. No wonder Tina has Courtney‘s last name; they probably didn‘t last well and had separated a long time ago. How dare she criticize me–she doesn‘t know what Tina wants because she doesn‘t have enough time to care for her daughter as well. 

While Alexander was busy analyzing Courtney’s relationship, Tina and Jordan secretly exchanged a triumphant look.

“Are you sure no one saw what happened that night?”

In the cafe at the golf course, Britney was dressed casually as she drank some coffee and waved at the producer from the window with a bright smile.

However, her expression darkened when she turned to look at her manager across the table.

“Don’t worry about it, Britney,” replied the manager coolly.

“I’ve already tried asking around; the housekeepers were so busy with the gifts you brought over the other day that none of them were at the scene. By the time they arrived, the little boy had been lying on the ground for a while.”

“Deceiving those fools isn’t a difficult task-even if someone had seen it, we can just pay them with money. Are you sure nothing was uncovered by the old man’s men who went over to check things out? That old man is quite smart.”

“I’m sure he didn’t find anything. Do you know what the maids said when I got someone to go over and

ask?”

“What?” “They said that they have never seen their young master bring a woman home, let alone stay overnight. Since they saw you on his bed, why would you be a suspect?”

As the matter came up, Britney had a smug look on her face. “Indeed, such improvisation skills are my specialty. Did they really think that the last six years with Alexander was all for show?”

Everyone in Melrose City knew that Alexander wasn’t interested in women, for he never got himself involved with other ladies. People barely associated him with Britney, and many of them were suspicious of his sexual orientation.

Even Britney’s manager had his own suspicions, but it didn’t matter to Britney.

“That’s right. Unlike me, you’re so busy shooting every day.”
