One Night Surprise

Chapter 324 I Don’t Know Anything

It was only after a long time that Courtney found her voice. “Why are you suddenly telling me this?”

She did not know about Alexander’s drastic mood changes before he met her in the hospital. Though he was usually a man of few words, he used up his entire reservoir of patience when it came to her to try to stabilize their already rocky relationship.

Looking at her, he asked, “If I didn’t tell you this, what would you say to me? That we should break up?”

Courtney was at a loss of words yet again.

He’s right. Every time when both of us encounter any issues, my first reaction is to retreat.

The golden principle of her life was to cut her losses as early as possible, and she had been doing that for the past two decades.

She wanted to weigh the pros and cons, and between Alexander and her two children, she chose the latter.

Between her career and him, she chose the former.

In the future, if she would need to make such a decision between him or family and friends, she would choose the former without any hesitations.

Alexander was her love life, but to her, love was the least prioritized.

What is the cause of this?

After pondering this for a long time, Courtney finally replied, “The truth always hurts and reality is always ugly. Sometimes, lying to ourselves is also something good. But if you really mind this, I’m sorry to tell you that be it Tina or my friends and family, to me they are more important than lovers. It’s the same for you when you can’t compare Jordan with me. Please don’t take such matters to force me to make a choice. There’s no meaning to this.”

“What if I don’t mind?”

Alexander looked at her, but his expression had never changed from the beginning.

Ever since he prepared himself for this conversation, he was already mentally prepared. After all, he knew very well what Courtney was like.

All the rules that he would not break, he had broken all of them when it came to her.

Courtney froze, and she was even slightly flustered and uneasy. “W-What did you say?”
