One Night Surprise

Chapter 144 Is There No Other Room?

“Aunt?” Courtney was stunned, she couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud.

That girl looked at most twelve or thirteen years old, yet she was more senior than Alexander. Courtney could not imagine what he would look like when he had to call her ‘Aunt Hannah’.

Glancing at Alexander from the corner of her eye, she noticed that his expression was ugly. Holding back her laughter, she decided to let him off the hook. “Mr. Harry, she must be his aunt in name only. I don’t think Alexander ever called her ‘aunt’, right?”

However, whether accidentally or intentionally, the butler shook his head. “He still has to address her as his aunt. Although Miss Hannah is only an adopted child, she has been recorded into the Duncans’ genealogy record book. When she celebrates her birthday and the Duncan Family visits their ancestral grave every year, Mr. Alexander needs to address her as Aunt Hannah.”

Alexander threw the butler a cold glance. “Mr. Harry, you’re a lot more talkative the older you get. I think it’s time for you to retire and go home.”

Courtney held her head down and stifled a laugh. Immediately, the butler shut his mouth and changed the topic with a smile. “There’s a doorsill over here. Watch your steps, Little Master and Little Miss.”

The Duncans’ ancestral home was a protected property in Melrose City. It was a traditional mansion with connecting courtyards. The group passed through the winding corridors and built-in external doors under the butler’s lead. It took a while for them to arrive at the dining room.

Although Scott’s hair had gone gray, he was still healthy and had a back as straight as an arrow.

“President Duncan,” Courtney greeted respectfully.

“There’s no need for that. This isn’t a work occasion. Besides, I’m already retired. You don’t have to call me President Duncan. Just follow Alexander and call me Grandpa. Make yourself comfortable.”

Courtney blushed at his words. Hesitating for a while, she uttered, “Grandpa.”

Alas, Scott was satisfied. With a smile, he moved his attention to Tina and Jordan. “Come here, both of you. Come and take a seat here with your great-grandpa.”
