One Night Surprise

Chapter 141 No One Wants to Do Anything With You

While Courtney was playing with the children, she was slightly distracted. From time to time, she glanced at the silver sedan that was parked at the entrance of the cemetery; she was restless.

After a long moment, she heard the sound of the car door opening. Alicia and Alexander got out of the car one after another. They had the same calm and collected look on their faces—she could not detect any change of emotion from their appearances.

Staring at their expressions, she was depressed.

Alicia waved at Tina. “It’s summer break. Do you want to stay at my house for two days?”

Upon hearing that, Tina’s eyes darted between Courtney and Alexander. Instantly, she had an idea. “Sure, Great-Aunt Alicia. Can I bring Jordan along with me?”

Alicia looked toward Jordan; uncertainty flashed before her eyes when she saw his features.

People said that birds of different feathers don’t flock together. Although Jordan was not Courtney’s own child, he looked somewhat similar to Tina and her.

“I can’t make the decision.” She glanced at Alexander. “I can only bring him along if his father agrees.”

Tina turned toward Alexander. Blinking, she began, “Mr. Alexander, you’ll agree, right? When you and Mom are married, my great-aunt will become Jordan’s great-aunt too.”

In response, a faint smile appeared on Alexander’s face. Looking at Alicia, he said with respect, “I’ll leave my kid to you, then, Aunt Alicia.”

The moment Courtney heard him calling ‘Aunt Alicia’, goosebumps crawled all over her body.

Later, Alicia led the two children into her car.

When Alexander was staring at the car that was leaving the cemetery, he heard Courtney mumble, “Who’s your aunt? Did anyone agree for you to call her that?”

“What did you say?” He turned his head and asked deliberately even though he already heard her.

“Nothing.” Throwing him a single glance, Courtney changed the topic casually. “You don’t have to worry about Jordan’s safety. Although my aunt doesn’t have children, she’s more careful than anyone else in doing things. Your kid will be safe with her.”

However, Alexander did not respond to her words.
