One Night Surprise

Chapter 421 Their Fate Had Ended Regardless of His Efforts

With her chin tipped up slightly, Tessa asserted, “Makes sense.”

She never had the chance to interact with him much, so she didn’t have a deep impression of him. The only few times she met him was during the search and rescue operation when Courtney got abducted by a drug lord to an island a few years ago. Even back then, they barely had a proper conversation.

From what she remembered, he was a gentle and kind man who was slightly older than Alexander. During the abduction incident, he had been very calm in comparison to Alexander. All decisions he made were done surely and bravely. In a nutshell, he was an attractive man.

Frankly, Tessa expected that Courtney would get together with him after she left Melrose City, but Tessa had miscalculated.

“Enough about me. Let’s talk about you instead.” Courtney chuckled before asking, “How are things with Oliver? Are you both married already?”

At the mention of him, Tessa raised her brows shyly. If it wasn’t for the colors of the oil painting on her face, her blush might have been evident. “Not yet. We’ve both been busy in the past few years. We don’t even have the time to go back home. However, the marriage application paperwork has already been submitted. We are currently just waiting for approval.”

Due to their unique identities, Tessa and Oliver had to apply through the organization for marriage approval. The process was even more complicated than that of an ordinary soldier as there were a lot more procedures to go through.

“How is everyone at home? Are they healthy and well?”

Her questions were pretty generic, so Tessa answered without much thought

“They’re fine. Madam Fiona is doing well, and she even goes to the school to teach the students drawing. Jordan’s psychological issues have been resolved, but Alexander refused to let him go to school. Jordan can only attend home-schooling, and he’s been going outstation with Alexander for his business trips. He even made Jordan attend the committee meetings at such a young age. Who knows what’s in Alexander’s mind? However, Grandpa hasn’t been in the pink of health, but he’s been resting at home. He’ll be fine.”

Hearing that, Courtney simply nodded without asking any further as she digested what Tessa said.

Soon, it was breaking dawn, and the rumbling sound of the helicopter that was hovering above could be heard. After Tessa and the others were done preparing their baggage, they boarded the helicopter with the three injured patients that had undergone the operation.

Watching them off, Courtney waved hard at the figures on the chopper.

“Have a safe trip.”
