One Night Surprise

Chapter 46 Mommy

“I-I will take my leave now, Young Master. I’m sorry for disturbing you and Miss Hunter.”

The maid’s flustered explanation and departing footsteps came from the doorway.

“Hey, it’s not like that.” Courtney ran to the door to explain, but when she opened the door, the corridor was completely empty—it was as though it was all just her own illusion.

She felt helpless. This is great. Now, no one will ever believe me.

“Do all of your maids appear out of nowhere?” She turned around and looked at Alexander with a scowl.

Alexander was puzzled and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“Forget it, it’s nothing.” Courtney felt that it was pointless to talk to him about the impact of words, so she took the towels and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned around. “By the way, you should spend more time with Jordan because I think he’s really insecure. You saw how happy he was today with Tina—he needs company, and you can’t just solve it by getting so many people to take care of him. All he needs is people that he likes to accompany and take care of him.”

In reality, she wanted to ask Alexander if he had to marry Britney; Jordan seemed to really dislike that actress, and that woman didn’t seem like she meant well. However, after pondering over it for a while, she felt that it was strange for her to ask that. She was afraid that people would think she had ulterior motives, so she decided against it.

After all, it was someone else’s family affairs.

As Alexander looked at Courtney’s concerned face, a thought suddenly came to his mind and he blurted out without thinking. “In that case, you should stay here and take care of him.”

His low voice echoed in the large manor as Courtney’s expression froze. “W-What do you mean?”

Alexander’s brows slightly furrowed with a surprised look; it seemed like he couldn’t believe his own words and quickly averted his gaze. Then, he spoke in a cold manner. “The monthly salary as Jordan’s nanny is three times more of what you make as a hotel manager.”

Courtney’s tense expression softened when she realized that Alexander was just joking as she replied playfully, “I wouldn’t consider it even if it was ten times more. From the perspective of my career, I’m much better at managing the hotel than taking care of your child. Don’t worry, President Duncan, Sunhill Hotel is still my main priority—you don’t have to test me like this.”
