One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

As soon as Courtney heard that, she felt as if her blood, which was bolling moments ago, was frozen in an instant. The entire Melrose City is such a big place-why does it have to be him?

However, after carefully thinking about it, apart from the Duncan Family, no one would have been able to use the Sunrise Enterprise’s future to threaten people back then,

At that moment, Alexander was not at the same location as he was eager-he seemed to be preoccupied with other matters and had already returned to the hotel.

Upon thinking about that, she looked at a spot not far away from her and saw a tiny figure who was building the first prototype of a sandcastle with her daughter. His young facial features looked increasingly familiar to her.

Apart from slightly panicking, she had believed the truth without any hesitation. The son whom I’ve been thinking about for the past five years has been right in front of me all this while. Yet, as his mother, I couldn’t even recognize him!

As the waves crashed into her feet, she stood frozen on the ground as she could not even move her feet. After taking a few steps with great difficulty, she could no longer withstand her anguish and sobbed.

“Mommy!” Tina suddenly ran to her. “Look at the castles we just built…”

Courtney quickly turned to hide the tears swimming in her eyes, but Tina saw everything and asked in a fluster, “Mommy, why are you crying?”

“I didn’t cry.” Courtney’s words did not have any logic in them. “It’s the wind. The wind is too strong, so the sand has entered my eyes.”

Jordan also ran toward her. With a worried expression on his face, he took her hands and looked at her carefully when he saw her. She thought to herself, His eyes look exactly the same as Tina’s. I’ve never even suspected this-even though both of them have similar features!

As Courtney thought about that, she could no longer control her tears from streaming down her face. Then, she slowly crouched and looked at the child who did not grow up with her-the complicated feelings that she suppressed almost tore her into pieces.

nand carelessly wiped the tears away from her cheeks as he

He was anxious upon seeing that. His li himself almost burst into tears.

“I’m fine. I’m fine. Don’t worry, Jordan.” Courtney took his hands and grabbed them. “Mommy is happy.”

As soon as he heard the words ‘mommy’, he was stunned for a while. However, Tina did not notice anything weird as she winked and explained, “Jordan, Mommy says that her eyes hurt because of the sand entering into her eyes from the wind. Let’s blow it away for her.”

After a moment of hesitation, Jordan nodded. The two kids then carefully blew into Courtney’s eyes. As the warm breath landed on her face, she could no longer suppress her feelings and hugged both of them in her arms while laughing and crying at the same time.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” No matter how unobservant Tina had been all along, she now understood that there was no sand in Courtney’s eyes.

After releasing both children from her embrace, Courtney hesitated for a long time. She was close to revealing the truth a couple of times, but forcefully responded in the end, “Nothing.” Jordan is Alexander’s son. If I tell the truth at this moment and even if Jordan would like to take me as his mother, what about Alexander?

Thinking about how he asked people to coerce and entice Jordan back then and how he interacts with the child now, it’s clear how important this child is to him-and way beyond my expectation. I definitely can’t take him away just because I am his mother. That would be the worst thing I could do!

Apart from that, once Alexander learns that Jordan is not his only child and he has another daughter, would he take Tina away as well?

When she thought about it, a chill ran down her spine as fear spread to her entire body.

There was a huge possibility of that happening and she could not afford to take the risk.

After wiping her tears away, Courtney forced a smile as she took the shovel. “Tina, Jordan, let’s make some sandcastles together!”

They were kids after all-their attention was diverted as soon as she assured them that she was fine and wanted to play with them. Then, they happily pulled her to their building site.

During dinner, Alexander frowned when he saw that Courtney’s eyes were slightly red. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
