One Night Surprise

Chapter 507 This Is Our Secret

“Mom, did I sleep for very long?”

Not waiting for Courtney to reply to her, Tina had already hugged her and rubbed herself on her chest.

Courtney patted Tina’s head while mumbling, “Yes. You did. You slept for a long time.”

As Tina could no longer suppress her emotions, she silently cried on Courtney’s shoulder because she saw a familiar silhouette that made her a bit absentminded when she stood there earlier.

Gurgle. Gurgle.

“Mom, I’m hungry.” Feeling her own stomach, Tina smiled sweetly at her mother.

“I’ll call your dad to bring Jordan back. We’ll have dinner together, so do you have anything you want to eat?”

Pouting, Tina then ordered a restaurant’s worth of food.

When night came, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes as among them was grilled lamb chop, spicy beef soup and what not were all bought by the servants under Alexander’s order.

Tina, who was also the happy-go-lucky type, looked like everything that happened earlier was like a dream after she woke up since she was wolfing down the food.

Even though Courtney knew how Tina felt, she chose not to expose her daughter since a mother knew her child the best. She knew that Tina had fully inherited her stubborn trait.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Jordan?”

Holding onto a piece of lamb chop with an oily mouth, Tina saw that Jordan was looking at her with a weird expression, so she took a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth.

Jordan quickly looked elsewhere and continued his meal while seemingly blushing.
