One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander)

Chapter 22

While they were eating. Tina and Jordan had the same taste in desserts. When the last dessert arrived, Tina ate it with excitement while Jordan ate in silence, but judging from the clean dessert plate, It was quite obvious that he was pleased as well.

The young kids couldn't seem to sit still as they ran to the play area again after finishing their meal. Meanwhile, Courtney and Alexander waited around for a bit. They were calm as they waited in the beginning, but as time dragged on, Courtney began to check her watch frequently

After countless reminders, Courtney hnally said, "We have to go home now, Tina."

Tina stuck her head out from the ocean of balls. "No, I want to play with Jordan lor a little while longer"

Asemander's neck and made a face at Courtney. "You have nothing to do Why don't you talk to Mr. Alexander and improve your relationship?" Courtney almost had a heart attack when she heard those words

"What are you beobing about? Tina Hunter, you come down right this instant... I'm sorry President Duncan, I'm not trying to hit you."

Tina was like a monkey that held onto Alexander's body, refusing to come down. Courtney usually raised her hands to pat Tina's buttocks as a threat, but now that the latter had Alexander as her shield, Courtney had no other means of getting her daughter.

The mother-daughter duo messed around for a while as the people in the restaurant giggled at their antics. Courtney finally gave in and huffed helplessly. "You'd better put her down, President Duncan. It seems like she's lacking discipline-I'd have to go back and talk to her about it."

"It's alright" Alexander showed a rare smile. "Tina is quite cute; she's just a little hyperactive. It's a good thing that she gets along with Jordan."

Tina's sharp ears picked up his words as she chipped in and said, "In that case, can you please bring me over to play at Jordan's house, Mommy?"

Courtney's face turned red as she spoke through gritted teeth, "Tina Hunter!"

That's Alexander Duncan! How can a company intern like me visit his house so casually?

"Huh?" Courtney stared at huwih her eyes wide open. Am I imagining things?

Tina, on the other hand, jumped down from Alexander's arms in excitement and grabbed Jordan's hand as she gave him a forceful high five "Yay! I'll be coming over to your house, Jordan!” Since Alexander had invited them, it would be rude to blatantly refuse him. Once Courtney had approved their playdate reluctantly, the two kids finally agreed to leave the Japanese restaurant. If I stay here any longer, the entire restaurant staff will know who I am.

Once they were out of the mall, Alexander's driver drove the car over as Alexander offered in a deep voice, "Let me send you guys back!

Before Courtney could refuse his offer, Tina had taken a step forward and climbed into the back seat of the MPV. She sat in the car and waved at Courtney. "Come on. Get in, Mommy! It's a very comfortable car!"

Courtney pressed her forehead against her palm ashamedly. Her instincts were telling her that after today, Alexander would definitely think that she had a spoiled brat and was one of those parents who didnt know how to educate their children!
