One Night Surprise Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Why Did You Lie Earlier?

Courtney felt like she could not say no, so she offered her verified Messenger contact. It was only after that the madam finally broke into a satisfied grin and she looked so happy that she seemed like a child.

I can’t imagine a woman like her possibly swindling the Duncans’ assets as described in the rumors. The gossip even mentioned that she cheated and snatched another man. A trace of suspicion flashed through Courtney’s eyes, but she hid her curiosity well.

“Well, I should leave now.” After serving the noodles from the pot, Courtney poured some sauce over it. She nodded at the madam politely before leaving to head upstairs.

Just when she placed the bowl of noodles on the table, Alexander walked out of the bathroom. He was wearing a bathrobe and his hair was still dripping wet from his shower. Droplets of water rolled down his neck while the bathroom door was covered with splashes of water.

She felt her throat automatically tightening and it took her a while to snap back to her senses. Then, she coughed dryly. “Well, you should have some of the noodles that I’ve just prepared in the borrowed kitchen.”

He looked at her before glancing at the bowl of noodles. Finally, he nodded lightly.

Courtney felt a wave of heat wafting toward her when Alexander sat on the couch. She felt almost completely shrouded within his heat—she felt uncomfortable, so she moved slightly to the side.

The room was silent, save for the sound of him eating the noodles. It was not loud, especially since it was pouring outside. Nevertheless, the sound of him eating warmed her heart.

Without realizing it, she had been holding her breath all this while and lowered her head to gradually sigh after confirming that his attention was not on her.

“You should sleep on the bed tonight,” he suddenly mentioned.

She was stunned to hear that because she thought that it sounded too good to be true. Her eyes shone brightly. “Really?”

“Yeah.” There was a hint of teasing in his deep voice, as though he had long forgotten about the unpleasantness from before.

Of course, I’m having a shower. I’m just fetching my clothes.” Initially, I was planning not to have a shower because I don’t want to create more trouble.
