One Night Surprise

Chapter 341 Owe Her an Apology

Ever since she was a child, besides her grandfather, no other family member had shown Courtney love and care. When she was young, Alicia would always treat her coldly, so her only sense of familial affection was from her grandfather.

Scott was an indifferent and serious person—which was completely different from the loving person that Courtney’s grandfather was—but deep down, he was an elder who deeply cared for the younger generation.

Although the meal didn’t end on a good note, Scott didn’t have many unspoken worries, and when he left with the kids, he even told Courtney not to take it to heart.

She didn’t want to take it to heart, but she was afraid that the strong-willed Alicia had already taken it personally.

Late at night, the bedroom was filled with the fragrance of shower gel.

Alexander got into bed after taking a shower and had casually picked up the financial magazine beside his bed to pass the time.

A sigh sounded from beside him.

Still looking at the magazine, Alexander chuckled and said, “You’re not still brooding about dinner, are you? In fact, you’re not close with your Uncle Stephen and his family, so it’s fine if you don’t keep in touch with them in the future.”

“I’ll be a pig if I have any more contact with them.”

Courtney turned over and looked up at Alexander. “I’m worried about Aunt Alicia. She must be furious now, and I don’t know what thoughts she would have after going back. She’s already suffering from high blood pressure.”

“She’ll be fine. If you’re really worried, just go visit her tomorrow.”

“I’ll definitely go back to check on her.”

Courtney let out another sigh. “I still have a bad feeling, though.”

At this point, Alexander couldn’t continue reading the magazine anymore, so he simply put the book back on the bedside table and hugged Courtney before laying under the blanket together.

“Don’t think about it anymore. Get some sleep.”
