One Night Surprise

Chapter 244 I’m Not Hiding From You; I’m Just Avoiding Any Suspicions

After leaving the community, Alexander stepped on the accelerator while his usual cold face looked annoyed. That woman was quick enough to break up with me and swiftly leave the house, but she still left me a huge mess for me to deal with. God damn it.

It was almost 5:00 PM in the fall and the sky became dark earlier as the temperature slowly dipped. Since the kindergarten had dismissed the students half an hour earlier, there was no vacant parking bay for him to park his car by the time he arrived at the gate at 4:30PM.

Just as he drove around the school to look for a place to park, he saw a red car that was parked on the right under a huge tree in front of him and a familiar figure was alighting from the car.

Honk! Honk!

Thinking about what the chef told him, he angrily honked at her twice.

As soon as the light purple figure turned her head and saw Alexander’s face from the car window, she furrowed her brows. “This is a school. Please don’t press on your car horn.”

They were still a car’s distance apart, so she had to raise her voice to show her imposing manner.

However, Alexander remained calm as he uttered unhurriedly, “I don’t think there’s any place left for me to park here. I’ll park my car at a place further away, so please help me to pick up Jordan first if he comes out.”

Naturally, Courtney was obliged to pick up Jordan, so she immediately agreed to do it.

10 minutes later, Alexander returned after parking his car. Then, he found her at the end of the line at the school gate. “I have something to tell you.”

“Huh?” She glanced at him vigilantly. “What is it?” If he wants to be together with me again, I’m not negotiating with him.

“Jordan hasn’t been eating much lately.” He went straight to the point. “Other than the lunch you ask Tina to bring over in the afternoon, he wouldn’t eat anything else. What do you think I should do?”
