One Night Surprise

Chapter 319 That’s the Only Thing I Can Do

When Courtney was taking a bath, she checked her body before looking at herself in the foggy bathroom mirror. She exhaled a heavy sigh.

Although she didn’t have any impression about last night, she knew that her body wouldn’t lie to her—all the signs showed that nothing happened last night.

After bathing and putting on her clothes, she started searching for clues that would explain what happened last night. The first thing that she found was an expensive branded watch, Vacheron Constantin to be exact. It belonged to Leon if she wasn’t mistaken.

Seems like it was Leon who sent me back to the room last night, but what about my clothes? That’s strange. Without much hesitation, she gave Leon a call.

The ringtone played for a long time before the call was picked up, but the first thing that she heard was the announcement in an airport.

“Leon, where are you?” Courtney asked with a frown.

“At the airport.”

Leon’s voice was way colder than usual and his tone was low, as if he had turned into a different person. “I’m waiting to board the plane. We will be allowed to board in five minutes. I’ve been waiting for your call.”

Upon hearing that, Courtney froze. “What do you mean? What happened last night?”

“Nothing happened. This is the only thing I could do.” From his tone, she could tell that it was tough for him to say this. “Courtney, I can’t tell you much, but you will know soon. All I can say is that I’m really sorry.”

“What?” Courtney intended to ask further but Leon had hung up, and all she heard was a busy tone when she tried to call back.

At the airport gate, Leon glanced at his phone. There was a notification that showed that a sum of money had been transferred to his bank account. He let out a bitter laugh of self-mockery before his assistant reminded him that he should queue up to prepare for boarding. In the end, he exhaled a heavy breath and switched off his phone, thereafter removing his SIM card and throwing it into a trash can.

He supposed that he wouldn’t come to Melrose City ever again.
