One Night Surprise

Chapter 287 I Can’t Force the Child

Oliver was suddenly a little anxious. “Mom, please say something. I didn’t do anything and he doesn’t know about my identity either. I’m just wondering whether you would like to meet him. I feel that he doesn’t seem like a cold-hearted person.”

“No need for that.” A sorrowful and gentle voice was eventually heard on the other end. “I’ve already met him during the summer.”

“You’ve already met him?” Oliver was startled. “When did that happen?”

“My soup is still brewing in the pot and I have guests in the inn waiting to drink it. I can’t talk to you now.” After that, the call ended.

Upon looking at the name ‘pretty mom’ on the top of the contact list of his phone, he took a deep breath as he was panicking. Everyone has a past that they selfishly hide deep inside their hearts.

Oliver could not clearly remember why he chose Melrose City in every selection without hesitation when he was filling his university application back then.

After that day, the news in Melrose City for the entire week was on reminding the citizens about the recent flu infection. At first, Alexander ran a temperature before catching a cold after that. The flu had arrived so suddenly that even Oliver was immediately infected after taking care of Alexander for two days. Just like that, the only manpower left in the house had fallen.

As Courtney disinfected the house with a mask on her face, Oliver continued to cough while being wrapped under a blanket on the couch. “I have a lecture to listen to tomorrow,” he said. “There is a professor who is coming from abroad.”
