One Night Surprise

Chapter 517 He Can Talk Already?

“N-No.”

Lila’s current reaction confirmed Courtney’s conjecture.

Courtney pondered for a moment. On the one hand, she was worried that Lila would question Mike about the truth. But, on the other hand, she couldn’t bear it, so she simply put on a show, acting as if she only denied it after giving it some serious thought.

“The woman seemed to be in her twenties. She dressed quite fashionably, with long curly hair. She was thin and tall. Although I didn’t pay attention to the back of her hand, it didn’t look like she had a tattoo there.”

After Lila heard Courtney’s denial, she felt more at ease. Once the nerves had eased, she seemed to realize that she had just been overly emotional and leaned back on the chair again.

“Then, it’s not her. That’s not her,” she murmured with a smile on her face.

Courtney’s expression remained the same as if she had not taken Lila’s reactions to heart. She got up and slightly brushed the fray hairs on her temple.

“I’ve been bothering you for quite a while already today. I need to take my leave first as my shift is starting in a bit. I’ll come to revisit you when I have the chance.”

Lila snapped out from her thoughts when she heard Courtney’s voice, and she got up to send her off. However, just as Courtney walked to the door, she turned around for a quick glance and some emotions stirred up in her eyes.

“You’re a very kind woman. Mike is lucky to have met you.”

These words were from the bottom of her heart, with no underlying motives. She smoothened out her wrinkled coat as she spoke before turning around and striding away.

She felt that they would meet again soon, under very different circumstances and identities.

When Angie rushed back to the manor, Benny was already out at the front, looking around the whole morning. When the little boy saw a figure slowly coming in, his clear eyes suddenly lit up. Then, he broke free from the maid’s grip and threw himself on her.

She felt a dip on her leg and looked down to see that the little boy was rubbing his head against her. This coquettish behavior made the 18-year-old Angie overflow with maternal love.
