One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

The atmosphere of the room dropped to below freezing point after Alexander’s words.

Mrs. Everett paled. “What? I-I’m afraid I don’t understand you.”

Nora, who was beside them and silent all the while, could no longer hold back and helplessly answered, “Mrs. Everett, the reason why Tina hit Charles is because he pushed Jordan and called him a b*stard who has no mother. All these are recorded by the surveillance camera and I have been meaning to show it to you.”

“Then, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Mrs. Everett’s face turned ashy. As if she tried to save herself for the final time, she glared at Nora. “You must be doing this deliberately. You didn’t even tell me about Charles’ problem when I first arrived. You merely spoke about both kids fighting. Did you even mention President Duncan’s son?”

A helpless Nora answered in an aggrieved manner, “You would have needed to give me a chance to speak, Mrs. Everett.”

Once the truth was finally revealed, Mrs. Everett nervously looked at Alexander. “President Duncan, I admit that it’s my fault today. The kids are still young, so they are unaware of many things. After we return home today, I’ll definitely educate Charles well and ask his father to personally apologize to Jordan. Is that okay with you?”

“There’s no need for that.” He merely gave her a cold glance. “You don’t have to apologize to me. Instead, you should apologize to Miss Hunter for everything that you said to her earlier, shouldn’t you?”

Upon hearing that, Mrs. Everett’s face darkened. After looking at Courtney for a long time, she squeezed the word through gritted teeth. “Sorry.”

Courtney did not want to comment further and ignored her before turning to check whether Jordan was hurt. Sure enough, Alexander’s power in Melrose City is overwhelming. Once he arrives, no matter who was at fault, he is definitely the one who’s right. The woman who was arrogant to me seconds ago immediately became humble after just a few words from him.

his hands to bid farewell to him. “You should head with your dad

After the issue was settled, she rele since I have to pick Tina up. Bye.”

Unwilling to let her go, he continued to hold her hand with an anxious look on his face, as if he wanted to leave with her.

Alexander frowned. “Is Tina alright? I heard that her asthma relapsed?”.

“She’s fine.”

He walked closer toward Courtney. “The company dinner is later tonight. I can bring you there on the way.”

“There’s no need.” Courtney took a few steps back to increase the distance between them. “Tina’s condition isn’t too good, so I have to leave. President Duncan, thank you for taking all the trouble today. I’m afraid I can’t attend the dinner tonight. So, I hope you’ll understand.”

Even though she had been addressing him as ‘President Duncan’, her tone sounded sharper today.

Alexander’s frown deepened as a cold look swept over his eyes. When Jordan was about to walk to her, he carried his son into his arms and warned him in a low voice, “Don’t follow her.”

Before that, he was merely speculating about the possibilities, but at that very moment, he was absolutely sure that Courtney was avoiding him.

Jordan struggled in his arms and even slapped his father’s cheeks. In the end, Alexander grabbed his little hand and advised, “She has her own daughter, so she doesn’t care about you. Even if you chase after her, you can’t do anything. Let’s go home.”

With that, he ignored Jordan’s cries and walked to the front door of the kindergarten with his son in his arms.

On the other hand, after discussing with Dr. Ishiguro about things to note about Tina’s asthma, Courtney picked her up and saw a gray figure waving his hand at them from across the stress after they walked out of the kindergarten

“Over here, Courtney!”

Shay was well-equipped with a cap, sunglasses, and a grey jacket that entirely protected him from the hot sun. The wave of his hand made him more ostentatious.
