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.

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

“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.”
