One Night Surprise

Chapter 251 No Room For Others Between Them

Scott glanced at her. “Is that so? In that case, I won’t insist on you staying. Are you still coming over tonight?”

“Yes.” Courtney nodded, concealing the sorrow in her eyes as she lowered her head. “Tina, let’s go.”

When they were about to leave, Jordan suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes and cried with much difficulty, “Mommy…”

The atmosphere at the dining table instantly froze, but Alexander seemed indifferent.

It was not the first time that Jordan called her ‘Mommy’ although he seldom addressed her as such in front of others. Alexander, who seemed unfazed by the incident, hoped to see how she dealt with the situation.

Nevertheless, Scott’s expression became cold. “Jordan, you shouldn’t address a random person as ‘Mommy’.”

Jordan, who suddenly felt aggrieved, tightly held onto Courtney’s clothes without any intention to release it—even if his little hand was reddened. He sobbed, “Great-Grandpa is bad. I want Mommy…”

At that moment, the entire atmosphere in the dining room was indescribable as the maids looked at one another with complex expressions.

“Jordan.” Courtney’s tone revealed that she was caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, she hoped that she was able to just take Jordan away from there at that point of time. Why are we putting a 5-year-old child through all these complicated situations? “If it is possible, I would like to take Jordan to my place for two days.” She forced herself to ask for something that even she herself thought was impossible.

“No. Do you think that it will be appropriate for Jordan to just leave with an outsider?” Scott’s expression was cold.

Upon hearing that, Jordan cried even louder.

Scott snapped at Alexander. “Alex, take Jordan away and calm him down!”
