One Night Surprise Chapter 341

One Night Surprise Chapter 341Chapter 341 Owe Her an Apology
Ever since she was a child, besides her grandfather, no other family member had shown Courtney love
and care. When she was young, Alicia would always treat her coldly, so her only sense of familial
affection was from her grandfather.
Scott was an indifferent and serious person—which was completely different from the loving person
that Courtney’s grandfather was—but deep down, he was an elder who deeply cared for the younger
generation.
Although the meal didn’t end on a good note, Scott didn’t have many unspoken worries, and when he
left with the kids, he even told Courtney not to take it to heart.
She didn’t want to take it to heart, but she was afraid that the strong-willed Alicia had already taken it
personally.
Late at night, the bedroom was filled with the fragrance of shower gel.
Alexander got into bed after taking a shower and had casually picked up the financial magazine beside
his bed to pass the time.
A sigh sounded from beside him.
Still looking at the magazine, Alexander chuckled and said, “You’re not still brooding about dinner, are
you? In fact, you’re not close with your Uncle Stephen and his family, so it’s fine if you don’t keep in
touch with them in the future.”
“I’ll be a pig if I have any more contact with them.”Courtney turned over and looked up at Alexander. “I’m worried about Aunt Alicia. She must be furious
now, and I don’t know what thoughts she would have after going back. She’s already suffering from
high blood pressure.”
“She’ll be fine. If you’re really worried, just go visit her tomorrow.”
“I’ll definitely go back to check on her.”
Courtney let out another sigh. “I still have a bad feeling, though.”
At this point, Alexander couldn’t continue reading the magazine anymore, so he simply put the book
back on the bedside table and hugged Courtney before laying under the blanket together.
“Don’t think about it anymore. Get some sleep.”
However, Courtney couldn’t sleep. In fact, she knew that Alicia didn’t want her to marry into the Duncan
Family, but her aunt didn’t know about her relationship with Alexander. She always felt that it wouldn’t
be good for her to be a stepmother, and that a partner who had his own child wouldn’t be able to treat
Tina wholeheartedly.
She planned to confess this matter to Alicia before they got married, which didn’t call for much concern.
Instead, the thing that was bothering her the most now was for her to confess to Alexander first.
“There’s something I need to tell you.”
After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.
Hugging her from behind, Alexander rested his chin on her shoulder and replied lightly, “Yeah?”
“About Jordan’s birth…”At the mention of this, Courtney felt the embrace around her tighten a little, which made her nervous
and stop talking.
After a long while, Alexander’s low voice sounded from behind.
“I didn’t do the proper thing in the past. You don’t have to think about Jordan’s birth. I don’t plan to find
that person anymore. Jordan only has one mother, which is you, and that’s enough.”
He thought that Courtney still cared about what happened with Belle last time. Everything had
happened consecutively, and he didn’t have time to explain to her, so he truly owed her an apology.
Now that she had mentioned it, he had a chance to say it.
Courtney, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.
Alexander saying this made it hard for her to continue.
She asked softly, “What happened to Belle after that? What did she say after being exposed?”
“I never found her.” Alexander rubbed his chin on the back of her head and spoke casually. “I left it to
Josh to handle.”
Courtney’s heart tightened. “What are you going to do with her?”
“Why do you care so much about that woman?” Alexander’s voice contained a hint of suspicion.
“N-Nothing.” Courtney held her breath. “I was just wondering.”
Alexander wanted to ask something else, but she hurriedly pulled the blanket up. “I’m sleepy. Let’s
sleep. I’ll go to Aunt Alicia’s house tomorrow morning.”
Upon hearing this, Alexander turned off the light and said nothing more.Courtney heard the steady breathing sound around her and felt the steady beating of a heart on her
back. She could also feel Alexander’s satisfaction with the current circumstances.
If it weren’t because her lies were snowballing, she wouldn’t be so torn.
It was a story that spanned six years, so she couldn’t just explain it with a casual remark.
It was getting dark, but the bars in Melrose Center were still buzzing like it would during the day, with
men and women shaking their heads and swaying wildly to the music amidst the lights.
In the luxurious private room of the bar, Britney stood in front of the electronic screen wearing a gaudy
fishnet garter while singing a song by a Korean girl group. She sang and danced, looking extremely
sexy.
Before the song was over, a thin man on the sofa in the private room applauded.
When the track stopped, the man’s eyes were a little sinister. “You dance well. You’re very suitable to
be the female lead of this movie.”
“Thank you, Director Braun.” Britney hurriedly straightened up and bowed to the man, a smile plastered
on her face.
After James was imprisoned, her network resources had plummeted. If she wanted to make money,
she had to film, and if she wanted to film, she had to participate in various social activities. Usually, she
never participated in this kind of wine parties, but now, she had to do it for a role that paid ten million.
“But, you’re still lacking something.”
novelbinThe man studied her. “Do you know what it is?”
Britney was stunned for a moment. “What is it, Director Braun?”“You’re not bold enough.” The man blew out a puff of smoke, looking extremely chill. “The protagonist
of the movie is a prostitute, so she has no sense of shame about her body. What you just did wasn’t
ambitious enough.”
Having been involved in the entertainment circle for so many years, Britney had long understood these
people’s characters. His remarks sounded like artistic guidance, but in fact, what he meant was for her
to take it all off.
She slowly raised her head. Her red lips were alluring, and her eyebrows were raised while she had on
a charming smile. Slowly pulling the straps off her shoulders to expose her fair shoulders, she said
softly, “Then, Director Braun, I’ll try again.”
In the early morning, the bar gradually became quiet. Outside the private room, the bottle girl dressed
in a Playboy Bunny costume was dozing off against the wall. When the door opened, she jolted awake,
then yawned sleepily.
“Britney, you’re done?”
When Britney heard this, her face turned pale, and she gave the girl a fierce glare.
The bottle girl immediately covered her mouth. “I didn’t mean it that way, Britney…”
There was a chill in Britney’s eyes.
“Keep in mind that I’m here today thanks to Alexander and Courtney, that wretched couple. One day, I’ll
get back everything I lost.”
The bottle girl shuddered and followed cautiously behind her.
“I didn’t dare to go out today. Alexander’s people are nearby, and it’s been going on every day for a
long time. It looks like they want to catch me. Britney, what should I do? I can’t spend my entire lifeselling wine here.”
“What are you panicking about?”
Britney threw her an impatient glance, and a cold gleam flashed across her eyes as she sneered, “So
what if he catches you? Can he kill you? He wants to catch you, doesn’t he? Then, let him. After he
catches you, let him hear what he wants to hear. I’d like to see how he would react when he finds out
the woman he loves has been lying to him.”
