One Night Surprise

Chapter 269 You Seduced Me First

He has clearly brought food home for me, but he chooses not to clearly express himself. I’ve had enough of him. Oliver slightly pouted and complained in his heart, but there was a warm look in his eyes as he saw the scrumptious food in front of him.

As night had already fallen in Melrose City, the cityscape flawlessly merged with dusk as various lights shone in the background.

After Courtney took a shower, she froze when she saw the uninvited guest after she walked out of her bathroom. Damn, how can I forget to lock the door?

As there were many matters to deal with during the day, her brain and body had been working tirelessly. Hence, right after she returned home, she immediately entered the bathroom to take a shower while completely forgetting about guarding against Alexander.

“What are you doing here?”

Sitting on the couch near the French windows by the balcony, Alexander had ‘The Brief History of Time’ in his hands; the book was Courtney’s bedtime reading material. He raised his head and closed the book. Without replying to her question, he stated, “Nice choice of bedtime books.”

“It’s not what you thought. I chose this book because I’m able to fall asleep while reading it.” Courtney crossed her arms as she kept a safe distance—the equivalent of almost the length of a bed— from Alexander.

“In my opinion, instead of looking at my bedtime books, you should knock on Oliver’s door while he’s still awake. Otherwise, you’ll have to sleep with Jordan again.”

He raised his eyebrows. “I haven’t even showered yet.”

“Then, go ahead. There’s a bathroom outside.”

“The shower head is broken. There’s no water.”

“How is that possible?” Courtney glared at him.

“Well, see it for yourself if you don’t believe me.” Without arguing with her, he placed the book back on the shelf and stood up.

“Fine.”
