One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

The next day, Courtney brought some health supplements when she returned to the Hunter mansion with

Tina

The person who opened the door for them was Mrs. Bell. Since she had already heard from Lucian that Courtney was returning, she prepared a table full of food. It was rather apparent that there was joy emanating from her. “Miss Courtney, Mr. Lucian was about to call you to ask for your whereabouts and you arrived.” With that, her gaze feli on Tina with even more joy.

“This is Tina right?”

“Tina, this is Mrs. Bell. Say hi to her.”

“Hello, Mrs. Bell.”

Tina was both cute and sweet. As soon as she spoke, she could melt one’s heart. Hence, Mrs. Bell liked her a lot, causing her tone to rise by a few pitches as she yelled into the house, “Mr. Lucian, Miss Courtney is back with Tina!”

On the second floor, the door of the study was opened before it was followed by a series of heavy footsteps that sounded quite rushed. In no time, his voice rang at the top of the staircase. Even though his voice sounded grave, he was overjoyed to see them. “Courtney.”

After Lucian walked down the stairs and saw Courtney holding Tina’s tiny hands, he looked quite flustered.

“Dad.” Courtney led Tina to him with a relaxed expression on her face. “Tina, this is grandpa.”

After appraising him for a while, Tina’s clear voice rang in the living room. “Grandpa is different from what I i imagined him to be.”

“Why? What’s different?” Lucian sounded nervous after hearing that.

She tilted her head. “Grandpa’s hair

ld be gray and he should be an exceptionally old man!”

Mrs. Bell and the other maids around them laughed.

He sighed in relief and gave a helpless smile. Then, he crouched to lovingly hold Tina’s other hand. “Grandpa is indeed extremely old, but not to the point where all of my hair is gray. That will happen in the future.”

“I hope not.” Tina shook her head. “Mommy says that people with grey hair are too old. Old people don’t have a healthy body and they can’t eat delicious food.”

“What do you like to eat the most?”

“There is so much food that I like, but I like desserts the most!”

“I’ll ask Mrs. Bell to buy them for you then.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

With that, their conversation ended.

When Courtney heard her father’s voice becoming more childish when he spoke to Tina, she felt slightly disoriented. She was already five years old by the time she arrived at the Hunter Family, so she was able to remember many incidents. She was at the same age as Tina and he had talked to her in such a tone as well.

They initially had a pretty good relationship. However, as time passed, she gradually spoke less at home as she was afraid to be close to her father because of Susan and her daughter. Even though it was a self

defense mechanism, other people have commented that Curtney was someone who could not be warm toward her own family

Take a seat and eat something. Let’s chat while we eat” Mrs. Beli invited them for lunch, but tears seemed to well in her eyes when she looked at Courtney.

However, Courtney was hesitant. “Just us?”

 

  1. That’s all-there are no other motives.”
