One Night Surprise

Chapter 308 Why Did He Never Once Mention Her?

The heat inside the shopping center had been turned up, but Courtney’s hands and feet were still cold.

A familiar figure finally showed up on the escalator. And yet, she hesitated, taking advantage of the promotional standee outside a store to hide herself away from Alexander’s line of sight.

Courtney could clearly see the woman next to Alexander. The woman looked young. She was clad in a white fur coat and a pair of pale blue jeans, her outfit completed with a pair of tan boots. The woman’s long hair brushed past her shoulders. A gray coat hung over her arm as well. She surprisingly seemed very refreshing and put-together.

If what Cameron said was true, then this girl was probably the one she was talking about.

The pair came up from the first floor, each of them carrying a paper bag from a baby shop. Courtney didn’t even need to give it much thought; she could already tell what was inside those bags.

She had no idea what the girl said, but Alexander actually lowered his head and laughed.

After they walked out of the shopping center, they hailed a taxi and left.

Courtney saw all of this from the entrance to the Pinnacle Shopping Center. She couldn’t hear anything from the rush of people passing her; all she could hear was the cold wind whistling past her ears.

When she returned home, Courtney took a shower as usual and got into bed. She attempted to regulate her emotions, hoping she could pretend that she didn’t know anything when Alexander came back later.

This woman that had popped up out of the blue had to be a liar, but Courtney couldn’t just tell Alexander directly that the woman was lying and that she couldn’t have given birth to the child.

Unless she could prove everything, Alexander would simply think that Courtney shouldn’t have said something like that.

Should she be honest, or use a bigger lie to correct an earlier lie? All Courtney felt was conflict.

Meanwhile, a young man sat by the bed inside a suite at Melrose Hotel. The drunkenness on his face from an hour ago had completely vanished now, and his eyes were absolutely clear. A little sharp and cold, even.

A phone rang then. He looked down to glance at the incoming call before he picked it up with a blank face.

“Hello.”
