One Night Surprise

Chapter 28

You work for Sunhill Enterprise?” Britney froze for a moment as she seemed to have recalled something then. “Is ‘Hunter’ your surname?” she asked.

Courtney didn’t realize anything odd about Britney’s question, she simply nodded and beamed happily. “So you still remember me, huh, Miss Price.”

Her tone took a more hostile turn. “It’s fine to take either parent’s surname; I was just curious because a school like Sapphire Kindergarten isn’t a place that anyone can just enrol their children into. You’re just a manager under probation in the Sunhill Enterprise; I don’t see how you can have the ability to send your child here apart from having a husband with an impressive

When she saw this, she jumped around with joy, as if she had just found a sliver of hope. She then held onto Jordan’s hand in a formal manner as she stared at him with her big eyes. “You’ll be my elder brother from now on then. Don’t worry, as
