One Night Surprise

Chapter 94 Paying a Visit

The next day, Courtney brought some health supplements when she returned to the Hunter mansion with Tina.

The person who opened the door for them was Mrs. Bell. Since she had already heard from Lucian that Courtney was returning, she prepared a table full of food. It was rather apparent that there was joy emanating from her. “Miss Courtney, Mr. Lucian was about to call you to ask for your whereabouts and you arrived.” With that, her gaze fell on Tina with even more joy.

“This is Tina, right?”

“Tina, this is Mrs. Bell. Say hi to her.”

“Hello, Mrs. Bell.”

Tina was both cute and sweet. As soon as she spoke, she could melt one’s heart. Hence, Mrs. Bell liked her a lot, causing her tone to rise by a few pitches as she yelled into the house, “Mr. Lucian, Miss Courtney is back with Tina!”

On the second floor, the door of the study was opened before it was followed by a series of heavy footsteps that sounded quite rushed. In no time, his voice rang at the top of the staircase. Even though his voice sounded grave, he was overjoyed to see them. “Courtney.”

After Lucian walked down the stairs and saw Courtney holding Tina’s tiny hands, he looked quite flustered.

“Dad.” Courtney led Tina to him with a relaxed expression on her face. “Tina, this is grandpa.”

After appraising him for a while, Tina’s clear voice rang in the living room. “Grandpa is different from what I imagined him to be.”

“Why? What’s different?” Lucian sounded nervous after hearing that.

She tilted her head. “Grandpa’s hair should be gray and he should be an exceptionally old man!”

Mrs. Bell and the other maids around them laughed.

He sighed in relief and gave a helpless smile. Then, he crouched to lovingly hold Tina’s other hand. “Grandpa is indeed extremely old, but not to the point where all of my hair is gray. That will happen in the future.”
