One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 

Courtney received a warm welcome from Tina when she returned home. 

“You’re home at last, Mommy! Were you happy last night?” 

Courtney knew that Tina couldn’t possibly be aware of the siuff between men and women at such a young age, but she couldn’t help giving the latter a noogie. “Why should I be happy? Who told you to egg Jordan’s dad on to look for me at the engagement party?” 

Rubbing her head in pain, Tina pouted her lips and argued, “It wasn’t me who proposed that; Jordan and Godmother were the ones responsible. Godmother even said that Mr. Alexander would be a hero saving a damsel in distress by doing so!” 

“Are you putting the blame on whoever is absent?” Courtney shot her a glance while pouring herself some water to drink by the table. She asked casually. “What else did your Godmother say?”. 

“Godmother said that the story of a hero saving a damsel in distress always ends with the heroine pledging to marry the hero out of gratitude.” 

“Pfft!” Courtney spat a mouthful of water all over the table. After coughing a few times, she went to slap the door to the main bedroom in exasperation. “Come out, Cameron! How could you teach her these things instead of the good stuff?” 

It was the weekend, which Cameran usually spent resting at home and sleeping soundly to her heart’s content. However, nobody answered the door even after Courtney knocked on it for a long time. When Courtney opened the door, she found the room as messy as a doghouse, but Cameron was nowhere to be seen. 

“My Godmother left this morning on a business trip.” Tina trotted up to her. “She also said that you are free to invite Mr. Alexander over while she’s away-she doesn’t mind it at all.” 

“Who wants to invite him?” Looking guilty, Courtney raised her voice and covered her blushing face. “All right, that’s enough. I’m dog-tired, so I want to sleep. Don’t make trouble for me here; go play on your own somewhere else.” 

Tina was chased back into her room, but she covered her mouth and tittered while peeping through the door crack 

It seems that Godmother’s plan of having a hero save a damsel in distress works wonders! As expected, I should let Godmother take action since she can do the job of two! 

Courtney kept tossing and turning in bed that afternoon, but she couldn’t fall asleep due to her sore waist and aching back. When she turned over, she recalled what had happened last night. Blushing with embarrassment, she covered herself under the blanket, only to push back the blanket and pant heavily a while later because she couldn’t breathe. After being restless for some time, she went into a sulk. 

If Cameron did not pressure me into attending the engagement party, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. This incident wouldn’t be possible if she didn’t speak out of turn by persuading Alexander to appear at the banquet. 

In conclusion, this lady is the culprit! 

Thinking about this, Courtney’s mind suddenly cleared a little. She increasingly felt that Cameron was likely to be the mastermind behind the incident! 

Meanwhile, Cameron was bored stiff while waiting for her delayed flight in the airport lounge when she received a voice message on her cell phone’s Messenger. When she saw the sender ID of the voice message, her fidgety expression instantly cleared. After unlocking her cell phone by slowly swiping her 

finger across the screen, she pleasantly listened to Courtney’s accusation. 

“Confess to me-did you plan in advance to urge me to attend the wedding and notify Alexander about 

it?* 

Pressing the recording button on her cell phone, Cameron moved closer to the microphone. She argued, “How could that be possible? Did something happen last night, though? Why didn’t you come back all night yesterday?” 

“Nothing happened.” 

“You sound so flustered and exasperated that I don’t believe nothing has happened.” 

Her message was met with silence. For a long time, there was no answer from the other end of the conversation. 

However, Cameron could imagine Courtney’s blushing face in front of the screen. What a shame that I can’t see her blushing face with my own eyes. 

Just then, the airport’s broadcasting system announced that her flight had arrived. Cameron picked up her handbag leisurely and boarded the plane before finding her seat. After seating herself, she lowered her voice and spoke into her cell phone. “I’m on the plane, so I won’t discuss the details with you. Share your passionate night yesterday with me when come back later!” 

With that, she switched off her cell phone. 

Just then, she heard a man’s deep voice speaking above her head against the background of the safety warning broadcast. “Babe, may I ask if I can move your stuff in the overhead compartment to the side a little bit?” 

Cameron didn’t even raise her head. “It’s not mine, so move it as you please.” 

“Thank you,” replied the man politely. As he was moving the bags around, he suddenly stopped. 

Cameron, who found the voice familiar to her, put down the tablet in her hand and looked up. 

Their eyes met in an instant. 

“It’s you!” 

Cameron and Gale’s voices overlapped. 

After confirming that the seat number on his plane ticket was correct, Gale seated himself next to Cameron and extended his hand to her politely. “What a coincidence! We meet again, Miss Miller.” 

Cameron rolled her eyes before raising her hand to beckon the flight attendant to come over. 

“Do you need any help, miss?” 

“I’d like to switch seats.” 

Gale’s expression changed as his hand stretched out awkwardly in midair. 

Sensing the subtle atmosphere between them, the flight attendant gave an awkward smile. “Miss Miller, all the seats of this flight are filled, so there’s no way of switching seats.” 

Cameron’s expression changed at once. She shot a disdainful look at Gale next to her and asked, “Are the economy class seats filled as well? I can switch to an economy class seat as long as I’m not 

seated next to him. I have no problem sitting on a jump seat with you guys.” 

“What do you mean by that?” Gale stared at her with a frown. He said in displeasure, “Why are you making a fuss-even I haven’t made a request to switch seats!” 

Cameron’s expression was very cold. “I simply can’t stand the sight of some ill-mannered person who takes his liberties with women!”
