One Night Surprise

Chapter 498 Missing Tina

Courtney’s aunt, Alicia, called her on her birthday to invite both Courtney and Alexander back to the Somerfields for a meal. As they did not hail from a business background, the Somerfields did not really pay attention to much etiquette. The celebration only involved a feast, and the family gathered around happily.

At the table, Josephine was trying to get the meat from a pincer of a crab, which she then gave to Alicia after amassing a plateful.

“Happy birthday, Great-Aunt.”

Laughing joyfully, Alicia was visibly elated. Seeing this, Courtney wondered how much happier she would become if she were to see the present Josephine had prepared for her.

Unexpectedly, Josephine, who was still eating the crab, slowly took out the jade bracelet with her oily hands, giving it to Alicia. Hesitatingly slightly, Alicia then started to sob before actually crying on her husband’s shoulder like a child.

Alexander, who was still eating soup, was bewildered at this scene as he met the gaze of his bewildered daughter.

“Great-Aunt, if you don’t like it, you can exchange it at the shop. You don’t have to cry,” saying it with a nose full of crab roe, Josephine panicked slightly. Upon hearing this, Alicia looked up and gave her a few pecks while hugging her with an overjoyed face.

“I like it. I like it very much.”

Dizzy from the kisses, Josephine couldn’t help but ask, “If you like it, then why are you crying? Fiona is also a crybaby. When I asked her why she cried, she said it was because she liked Ethan.”

Hearing this, Alexander had a rare smile appear on his face. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Then, do you like Ethan? After all, Mr. Langley likes you very much.”

After mulling over it seriously, Josephine then nodded.

This made Courtney feel like a great disaster had befallen her. “I do not want you and Cameron to become relatives.”

“Miss Cameron’s temper is a bit short, so I don’t want to become related to her as well.”
