One Night Surprise

Chapter 123 Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long

“We are here.” Alexander’s low, husky voice resounded in the car, causing Courtney to regain her senses. She turned and glanced outside the window at the familiar environment of the neighborhood before she fell into a slight daze. It felt like it was moments ago that they dined together.

“Thank you.” She thanked him before turning to shake Tina’s shoulder. “Tina…”

The little girl mumbled something and continued to sleep like a pig who was unable to be woken up, no matter how hard Courtney tried.

“Let me handle this.” The sound of him unbuckling the safety belt came from the driver seat. Before she could even reject his offer, he had already exited the car and yanked open the car door at the other side before he gently carried Tina in his arms. “Let’s go. I will follow you upstairs.”

Courtney was stunned, but she returned to her senses and nodded while leading him from the front.

Cameron’s apartment was on the twentieth floor. In the slowly-rising elevator, the space was so cramped that they were almost able to clearly hear each other’s breaths.

Tina meekly leaned on Alexander’s shoulder and slept soundly, as if the person carrying her was someone whom she truly trusted. Glancing at them, Courtney thought to herself, Perhaps this is the special bond shared between people related by blood, which also explains why this girl is especially close to Alexander and so is Jordan to me.

“Didn’t you tell me that you have taken your house back? Why are you still staying here?” His voice brought her out of her reverie.

She turned away before she replied, “The house is located at Golden Water Park. It is an old villa with a rather large area. I once brought Tina along with me to spend a night there, but the place was so cold and quiet that it was frightening, so I ended up staying with Cameron instead.”

Her initial idea was to take Oliver, who had yet to regain his memory about his identity, to stay with them since the more the merrier, but Alexander unexpectedly offered for him to stay in the hotel. As she was not used to hiring a nanny, her plan to move into the villa together with Tina was momentarily placed on the backburner.

“Did the reporters come here again after that?” Alexander recalled the incident where Shay’s stay there had attracted the reporters to come.

“They came a few times.” Upon that incident being brought up, Courtney suddenly chuckled. “After Cameron returned from her business trip, she gave them a good scolding and they did not dare to come again after that.”
