One Night Surprise Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Don’t You Dare to Ruin It

When the night came, the wind at the top of the mountain became harsher.

The pair took a stroll around the mountain with their hands locked together. Noticing that Alexander seemed to be familiar with the mountain, Courtney couldn’t help but ask, “Do you come here very often? Why are you so familiar with this place?”

“Sunhill Enterprise holds the development rights of this place. We originally intended to build a resort here, but the plan was left on hold because of some other things. So, this place became a deserted mountain.”

“Deserted? It looks like someone has been taking very good care of this place. There are flowers and trees here. And I saw a lot of raspberries over there too.”

Studying his expression, Courtney continued, “But, you haven’t answered my question.”

Alexander’s expression froze. After a long moment, he let go of her hand and walked toward the channel alone. The cool breeze on the mountain blew a small bulge in his shirt, and he looked exceptionally lonely.

“I came here very often when I was a child.” He looked indifferent. “After my dad passed, I haven’t been here since. The plan to build the resort was suspended because of his death.”

Alexander’s dad passed away in a car accident. Courtney’s brows snapped together. “So, Mr. Duncan…”

“Yeah.”

He took a deep breath, showing her his rarely-seen sorrow. “My dad passed away on this mountain.”

Listening to his words, Courtney’s heart flinched. She walked up and grabbed his palm. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s nothing. So many years have passed. Moreover, I was the one who brought you here. I’m planning to restart the plan to build the resort. So, this is probably the last time we can enjoy the beautiful scenery here.”

He took her palm and pulled her to his side. “The next time we come, there will be a place for you to stay.”

A flush crept up Courtney’s face in an instant. “How can you relate everything to that thing?”

“What thing?”
