One Night Surprise

Chapter 84 Daddy Wants to Give You a Surprise

“Huh? I-I don’t want to go.”

Upon thinking about going out to the sea, a hint of resistance flashed across her eyes as she immediately waved her hand. “I can’t go.”

After she said that, she felt a pull on her sleeve. She lowered her head and found Jordan pitifully tugging her sleeve with a look of eagerness on his face as he gazed at her, while his other hand was holding a note with a line of words, which she had no idea when it was written. ‘I want you to go together with me.’

Stunned, Courtney stroked his head, and her heart suddenly softened. “Alright. If that’s the case, let me go to my room and get changed.”

Jordan had no mother, and Alexander was indeed a careless father—he managed to let Jordan get sunburned from playing under the sun for too long even though they were merely staying in the hotel, so it might be worse if they went out to the sea; not to mention that Jordan could not swim, as according to Alexander.

“Okay.” Although it did not show on Alexander’s face, there was, in fact, an inexplicable feeling of gladness that filled his heart.

He saw her at the entrance of the coffee shop early in the morning, spending her whole morning drinking a cup of coffee. After asking the film crew, he learnt that she had allowed Shay to bring Tina out by himself, and this news caused him to be in great spirits throughout the morning.

They rode on a speedboat to the little island. When Courtney was putting on the life jacket, she felt a little dizzy, but she forced herself to put it on and sat still on her seat, trying her best to not look at the waters.

“Mister, please go a little slower.” Her voice slightly trembled, and even Alexander noticed the difference in her voice.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” She nonchalantly smiled, masking the fact that she was struggling. She adjured, “Fasten Jordan’s hat properly. If the wind is strong later, his hat may be blown away.”

Alexander nodded and helped Jordan to adjust his hat, only to realize that Courtney was having a hard time fastening the button of her hat with her trembling hands.
