One Night Surprise

Chapter 60 Our Fates Really Are Intertwined

Courtney received a warm welcome from Tina when she returned home.

“You’re home at last, Mommy! Were you happy last night?”

Courtney knew that Tina couldn’t possibly be aware of the stuff between men and women at such a young age, but she couldn’t help giving the latter a noogie. “Why should I be happy? Who told you to egg Jordan’s dad on to look for me at the engagement party?”

Rubbing her head in pain, Tina pouted her lips and argued, “It wasn’t me who proposed that; Jordan and Godmother were the ones responsible. Godmother even said that Mr. Alexander would be a hero saving a damsel in distress by doing so!”

“Are you putting the blame on whoever is absent?” Courtney shot her a glance while pouring herself some water to drink by the table. She asked casually, “What else did your Godmother say?”

“Godmother said that the story of a hero saving a damsel in distress always ends with the heroine pledging to marry the hero out of gratitude.”

“Pfft!” Courtney spat a mouthful of water all over the table. After coughing a few times, she went to slap the door to the main bedroom in exasperation. “Come out, Cameron! How could you teach her these things instead of the good stuff?”

It was the weekend, which Cameran usually spent resting at home and sleeping soundly to her heart’s content. However, nobody answered the door even after Courtney knocked on it for a long time. When Courtney opened the door, she found the room as messy as a doghouse, but Cameron was nowhere to be seen.

“My Godmother left this morning on a business trip.” Tina trotted up to her. “She also said that you are free to invite Mr. Alexander over while she’s away—she doesn’t mind it at all.”

“Who wants to invite him?” Looking guilty, Courtney raised her voice and covered her blushing face. “All right, that’s enough. I’m dog-tired, so I want to sleep. Don’t make trouble for me here; go play on your own somewhere else.”

Tina was chased back into her room, but she covered her mouth and tittered while peeping through the door crack.

It seems that Godmother’s plan of having a hero save a damsel in distress works wonders! As expected, I should let Godmother take action since she can do the job of two!

Courtney kept tossing and turning in bed that afternoon, but she couldn’t fall asleep due to her sore waist and aching back. When she turned over, she recalled what had happened last night. Blushing with embarrassment, she covered herself under the blanket, only to push back the blanket and pant heavily a while later because she couldn’t breathe. After being restless for some time, she went into a sulk.

If Cameron did not pressure me into attending the engagement party, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. This incident wouldn’t be possible if she didn’t speak out of turn by persuading Alexander to appear at the banquet.
