One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

“Huh? I-I don’t want to go.”

Upon thinking about going out to the sea, a hint of resistance flashed across her eyes as she immediately waved her hand. “I can’t go.”

After she said that, she felt a pull on her sleeve. She lowered her head and found Jordan pitifully tugging her sleeve with a look of eagerness on his face as he gazed at her, while his other hand was holding a note with a line of words, which she had no idea when it was written. ‘I want you to go together with me.’

Stunned, Courtney stroked his head, and her heart suddenly softened. “Alright. If that’s the case, let me go to my room and get changed.”

Jordan had no mother, and Alexander was indeed a careless father-he managed to let Jordan get sunburned from playing under the sun for too long even though they were merely staying in the hotel, so it might be worse if they went out to the sea; not to mention that Jordan could not swim, as according to Alexander.

“Okay.” Although it did not show on Alexander’s face, there was, in fact, an inexplicable feeling of gladness that filled his heart.

He saw her at the entrance of the coffee shop early in the morning, spending her whole morning drinking a cup of coffee. After asking the film crew, he learnt that she had allowed Shay to bring Tina out by himself, and this news caused him to be in great spirits throughout the morning.

They rode on a speedboat to the little island. When Courtney was putting on the life jacket, she felt a little dizzy, but she forced herself to put it on and sat still on her seat, trying her best to not look at the waters.

“Mister, please go a little slower.” Her voice slightly trembled, and even Alexander noticed the difference in her voice.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” She nonchalantly smiled, masking the fact that she was struggling. She adjured, “Fasten Jordan’s hat properly. If the wind is strong later, his hat may be blown away.”

Alexander nodded and helped Jordan to adjust his hat, only to realize that Courtney was having a hard time fastening the button of her hat with her trembling hands.

“Are you really fine?” He frowned. “Let’s not go if you are not feeling well.”

“I’m fine. I’m fine. It’s just that the boat is a little shaky, so I can’t fasten the button.”

He hesitated for a moment before leaning forward and held her hands. “Let me help you.”

Her hands were suddenly wrapped by his warm palm, causing her to be momentarily stunned and even forget about the seasickness that she was currently experiencing. She looked at him in a daze as he helped her to fasten the button. The tingling feeling on her chin actually gave her a fleeting moment of breathing difficulty.

“All done.” The low, husky voice rang by her years, pulling her back to her senses. She then abruptly turned her

gaze away. “Oh, t-thank you.”

“You are welcome.” Alexander stared at her. “Do you feel hot?”

“N-Not really.”

“Why is your face so red, then?”

“Huh?” She immediately covered her face, her speech incoherent. “l-Is that so? M-Maybe it’s because of the hot sun.” As she was speaking, she suddenly pointed at the sun. “The weather is too hot today. You should help Jordan button up his long sleeve shirt.”

Alexander raised his brows, revealing a cryptic smile as he was pretty sure she was lying.

Jordan, who was curious about anything, pointed at everything and kept asking various questions.

Meanwhile, Courtney patiently explained them to him, but there were some questions that she did not understand herself, especially when he asked about the mechanical equipment on the boat, which she knew nothing about. It was Alexander who explained to him about the operation principle of ships at this moment.
