One Night Surprise

Chapter 351 Recognized by Her Future Mother-In-Law

After receiving the check, Courtney immediately rushed back to Oreus without a single moment of delay, and it was already late at night when she arrived. She hadn’t slept for almost a day, and she had a few cups of coffee consecutively because she was afraid that she might fall asleep while driving there.

When Fiona saw the check, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Courtney.”

“You’re welcome,” Courtney replied with a smile. She was worried that Fiona would be stressed out, so she didn’t tell her that the bracelet was still with her.

“I’ve already thought about it. Once this is over, I’ll send Oliver to study abroad while I go on a vacation. That way, it will be difficult for Felipe to find me.”

“Don’t be afraid. A person like him will get just his retribution sooner or later. He can’t escape from the law.”

“Hopefully.” Lowering her head, Fiona checked the time and said anxiously, “It’s late. You should go and sleep in the room which I already cleaned up. I’ve caused so much trouble for you for the past couple of days.”

“It’s alright. I’m not sleepy.” Right after she said that, a yawn escaped her mouth, and she was immediately embarrassed.

“Alright, now. You’ve already done me such a huge favor, and there’s nothing left for you to do. Go and catch some sleep.” Her face was kind and warm as she patted Courtney’s hand. “Alex is so fortunate to have met a woman like you.”

Just one statement from her was enough to make Courtney blush. So, does this mean I’m acknowledged by my future mother-in-law now?

Finally, she didn’t turn her down anymore and went upstairs by herself. After a simple washup, she climbed into the bed.

Then, a knock came on the door and Fiona’s soft voice rang. “Are you asleep, Courtney?”
