Chapter 91
Ever since Courtney knew that Alexander was the man from six years ago, she projected all of her hatred toward the man who changed the entire course of her life on him. It even overshadowed the flirtatious feelings that she had for him for the past few days.
Upon noticing that Courtney still looked morose, Cameron knew that she was not joking. After frowning while thinking about it, her eyes suddenly brightened. “Courtney, I have an idea”
“What is it?”
“Isaac! Aren’t you guys still married legally? Do you want to consider letting him help you?”
When she heard the name ‘Isaac’, Courtney looked slightly dazed and shook her head after thinking about it for a while. “Forget it, let’s not trouble him.” All those years when I’m abroad, I have already troubled him enough. Now that I’m back here, how can I still ask him for help?
Cameron sighed. “Fine. You’re just too stubborn. There’s nothing else that I can think of to help you.” She patted Courtney’s shoulders. “Regardless, just remember that no matter what happens, I’m always here, so you can talk to me anytime.”
Courtney calmed down and looked at Cameron with gratitude after hearing her words. “Sure thing. Don’t worry, I’m fine. What about you instead? What are all those recent posts on Twitter about? Are you in love with someone?”
At that mention of that, Cameron suddenly avoided her gaze. “Nothing-oh, I suddenly remember that I have a contract to send off. I’ll head back to my room first.”
With that, she fled the scene.
Upon looking at Cameron’s departing figure, Courtney helplessly smiled.
Three days later, Shay brought Tina to their country and took the green lane at immigration to avoid the groups of fans.
Courtney also went to the airport to pick them up.
“Mommy!”
As soon as Tina saw Courtney, she immediately pounced on the latter while her laughter that sounded like bells reverberated in the airport.
In that instant when Courtney saw her, all the troubles that she faced for the past few days seemed to have evaporated. “Did you have fun, Tina?”
“Yes! It’s so fun!” Tina wrapped her arms around Courtney’s neck and planted a kiss on her cheeks before mysteriously asking. “But, why did you suddenly leave, mommy? Did you plan it with Mr. Alexander and
Jordan? You guys abandoned me and left.”
Courtney was slightly confused after hearing that. “What? They left earlier too?”
Shay, who was next to them, gave a dry cough and changed the topic. “The car is here. Let’s get into it.’
In order to celebrate the completion of the shoot for the first season, his company held a celebratory party in the evening where the celebrities, guests, and even the entire filming crew participated. As Tina’s chaperone, Courtney was also one of the invited guests.
Since it was merely a celebratory party and not an official one, everyone wore casual clothes and the atmosphere was light and fun. Courtney brought Tina along where they ate and drank while basking in a relaxing atmosphere.

A deep voice rang from behind her. After finally calming herself down her heart fluttered again as she tightened her grip on the glass of water
Alexander wore a black suit and walked over to join her in looking at Tina from afar
One of his hands was holding a wine glass while the other was naturally placed in his pockets. “You ran away from Maldives without giving any notice. What was the reason?*
“Nothing. Something happened back home.”
Courtney was slightly nervous around him. After knowing the truth, she felt quite repulsed by him and forced herself to keep a distance from him–as if her self defense mechanism had been triggered.
“Is it because of the house or because of me?”
She frowned
Alexander looked calm as he took a sip of his wine “Maybe it’s because of me that caused your house issue?”
Her heart sank as she felt nervous. He kiloers?
“You hastily moved out from my place, but you don’t want to stay with Cameron again I heard that you ve been busy with accommodation issues. Is that so?”
A relieved Courtney nodded, “Yes, I can’t possibly stay at your place forever.”
“Do you need any help?”
Alexander did not ask her to stay and only asked her that question instead
A wave of shock flitted across her eyes, but she shook her head. “It’s fine: I can manage it on my own.” Alexander definitely doesn’t know that I’m busy with accommodation matters for my future plans and it involves confronting him too. How would I dare to ask for his help?
While Courtney’s rejection was too direct, her repulsive tone had attracted Alexander’s attention because he turned to look at her intently. “Is there something wrong?”
Courtney froze and looked at him in shock as she almost thought she misheard him.
He frowned, regretting that he had asked such a question,
The atmosphere between both of them suddenly became more awkward
Not long after that, Shay suddenly waved and walked to them. He wore casual belge long pants and a light blue T-shirt. With a bright and young smile on his face, he directly gave Courtney a glass of aspit was the most natural thing to do.
