One Night Surprise

Chapter 372 We’ll Bring This to Court, Then

After what seemed like forever, Courtney finally calmed down and slowly raised her head to meet Alexander’s intense gaze.

“Yes.” She clenched her fist and frowned. “Since you know it all now, then I don’t see the need to hide it from you any more.”

She was honest.

She knew very well that what happened 6 years ago was not her fault but Alexander’s. And now, they had fallen in love, so she chose to forgive and see it as a surprise—it wasn’t the case in the start, but it was now.

Seeing her calm appearance, Alexander grew even angrier, and the flames in his cold eyes gradually burned even more vigorously as he continued to ask, “You found out about this soon after you returned?”

“Yes.”

When she saw his angered face, Courtney frowned and explained, “If you want to blame me for not telling you. I’ll have you know that I was just worried that you’d try to take custody over Tina. I mean, we weren’t getting married at the time, after all. Maybe it was because I didn’t trust you enough then, but I was also worried—I had to look out for myself too…”

“Oh, really?” Alexander raised the corners of his lips mockingly. “Well, if that’s the case, since we have already set a date to get married, why did you still go to see a lawyer?”

When Courtney heard that, her expression froze immediately. “H-How did you know?”

“If I hadn’t found out, when were you planning to tell me all these?”

Alexander looked at her with extremely cold eyes.

“On one hand, you want to marry me so that you can be Jordan’s mother and at the same time not lose your daughter, while on the other hand, you left a way out for yourself. If things go south, what reason are you going to use to fabricate evidence of my abuse of Jordan and to compete with me for his custody?”
