One Night Surprise

Chapter 28

“Jordan! Are you studying here too? What’s with that sad face? Are you still half-asleep?” Courtney quickly kneeled down to see Jordan shaking his head in an upset manner.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Price.” Courtney immediately straightened herself after she saw Britney

“You know me?” Britney raised an eyebrow.

“Who wouldn’t know the award-winning actress?” Courtney chuckled. “Also, I was the one who greeted you when you stayed in the Sunhill Hotel previously.”

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.”

“What’s your daughter’s name?” Britney didn’t respond to her statement. She glanced at Tina’s smooth and innocent face before she felt a sudden jolt in her heart. Why does this young girl‘s face resemble Alexander’s? No way, she thought.

as she seemed rather confused. Courtney hadn’t realized anything odd about the questions that Britney had asked previously, but at this point, she’d be an idiot if she didn’t sense something wrong with Britney’s invasive manners of questioning. She therefore pulled Tina closer toward her as she replied in a less friendly tone, “Tina grew up in America, so I don’t think she understands your question since she’s only returned to the country a while

“Do you like her? Do you want her to be your stepmother?” Tina asked with a look of surprise on her face. Jordan shook his head even harder than before. “Does that mean that you don’t want her to be your stepmother?” Tina’s eyes lit up

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 long as I have scrumptious meat in my bowl,
