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.

Meanwhile, Tina was filled with joy the moment she saw Jordan appear beside her, so she quickly held onto his arm. “You’re here too! That’s great! I have a friend, then!

Once Britney saw how close Jordan was with the mother and daughter, she glared at Courtney for a long while. This woman looks familiar.

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

“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.

“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.

by this, but she felt even more displeased when she saw Jordan hiding himself behind Courtney as well. 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

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.
