One Night Surprise

Chapter 274 I Don’t Want to See You Lose Everything

Oliver’s sudden confession had shocked Courtney.

Courtney was stunned to the point where she lowered her head. Then, she bit on her lips as she thought about it. “Actually, you don’t have to tell me about it so soon.”

Oliver froze slightly when he saw her smiling at him after she lifted her head—it was her usual warm smile and she looked as caring as before. “You knew about it?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Not as precise as what you have mentioned, but I only knew your memories have roughly returned.”

“Then, why did you—”

“Pretend that I know nothing?” She sighed. “It’s because I hurt you in the accident. When I sent you to the hospital back then, I suspected that you were a homeless man based on your disheveled look. Apart from that, even if you wanted to leave, you probably would have left sooner, so I guess you had some difficulties.”

Even though he felt touched by her gesture, he was also amused at the same time. After all, it was not a good feeling to be mistaken as a homeless man by another person. “Courtney, I’m really not a homeless person.”

“Got it.” Courtney winked. “You are a student of Public Security University. You should have told me earlier before I decided to bring you up forever!”

Oliver’s heart fluttered as he grabbed her hand after a moment. “You are such a good person, Courtney.”

“Of course I am. You don’t have to remind me about it.”

“Why don’t you break up with Alexander? His family matters are too complicated. Date me instead. I can provide for you and Tina for the rest of your lives.”

“You?” Courtney rolled her eyes and withdrew her hands before she gently slapped the back of his hands. “You are only a penultimate year student at the Public Security University. I bet that you still ask for money from your parents. How can you simply say something like that?”
