One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 

“Hey…” Unable to stop Tina, Courtney quickly turned to face Alexander. “There’s no need for that. I’m here to take Tina home; I won’t be bothering you since I know that you’re very busy.” 

“It’s no bother.” Alexander stood in front of a cabinet that displayed a heap of antiques while taking out a jade figurine at random. He continued unhurriedly, “As it so happens, I’m not busy recently. Didn’t you tell me to spend more time with Jordan? These days are perfect since I have time to pick up the kids.” 

“This isn’t necessary.” 

“I won’t go back on what I have promised someone else.” Alexander turned to look into Courtney’s eyes. He said, “I’ll do what I have promised you.” 

“No, you can’t take what I’ve said back then seriously, I was talking nonsense because my mind wasn’t clear after I got drunk. Besides, it’s inappropriate for Tina and me to stay at your home.” 

Courtney suddenly felt vexed. She had been taken advantage of for nothing by someone who didn’t take responsibility for it, but why was she feeling guilty right now? She was the one who got the short end of the stick! 

“Didn’t you say that you won’t take what happened that night to heart?” Alexander suddenly asked. “What is inappropriate about staying here for a few days as you used to during the weekend? Are you worried about something else?” 

Courtney’s heart clenched at his questions, and she found herself quite at a loss, 

“I-I’m not worried about anything.” She frowned. Then, she decided to be frank and said, “Aren’t you getting married very soon? There will be misunderstandings if I stay here.” 

In fact, this was also one of the reasons why she had told him not to take that night’s incident to heart. It was rumored among the company staff that Alexander was about to get married, so anything unexpected couldn’t possibly happen because of her. Also, she didn’t want to offend Britney. 

“Is this the only reason?” 

“Isn’t this reason significant enough?” Courtney was puzzled at his unconcerned expression. She braced herself and argued, “It’s indeed inappropriate for Tina and me to stay here.”
