One Night Surprise

One Night Surprise Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Did Something Happen?

“Ah…”

The loud moan let out by the woman beneath Alexander brought him back to reality.

At the sight of her smoking hot figure and her legs—which were wrapped around his waist like a pair of snakes—the flames of lust within him leaped up again, dispelling other thoughts in his mind. He lifted her waist and passionately put himself in and out of her several times, making her moan repeatedly before she reached her climax.

They made out endlessly that night.

When Courtney woke up the next morning, she felt so worn out as if her body had been crushed under a truck. Even the simple movement of turning over made her feel like all her limbs were out of joint.

The ache made her open her eyes slowly, and what came in sight were splendid furnishings that seemed familiar to her. After staring at these furnishings for a while, she recalled that this room seemed to be the guest room at Alexander’s place.

She threw back the covers and was about to get out of bed when she suddenly touched her smooth and bare skin. When she lowered her head and saw what had happened, her eyes instantly widened, and she screamed, “Ahh!”

Her scream was drowned by the sound of someone showering in the bathroom.

Looking at the bathroom in panic, Courtney could see the blurry outline of a strong and muscular man inside the bathroom through the frosted glass door.

No way!

She yanked the bed sheet to cover her chest. What the hell did I do last night?

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly. A while later, a slightly wet hand pulled the door open, and Alexander—with a bath towel wrapped around his waist—came out while toweling his hair dry as if nothing had happened. After walking a few steps as though he didn’t hear the scream just now, he finally saw Courtney sitting up on his bed. As their eyes met, the memory of how they had spent the night before with all-consuming passion instantly came to mind.

Courtney curled her lips to give an awkward smile. “S-Something happened between you and I last night… right?”

“Can’t you sense that yourself?” replied Alexander as he hung the towel over his shoulder. The neatly packed abs on his abdomen visibly contracted and relaxed as he moved about.

“Don’t come over here.” Courtney covered her eyes. She couldn’t stand looking at him any longer lest the bath towel on his waist would fall off the next second.

“What are you afraid of?” Alexander looked very calm while standing by the bed. “We have done whatever we should and shouldn’t have last night. Don’t tell me you have zero memory of that.”

Courtney hung her head with her face as red as a tomato; she was so nervous that she couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

Naturally, she knew what had happened last night. Judging from the ache in her body right now, she had either been beaten up or made out with someone all night. Considering the swelling ache in her lower body, she must have gone to bed with Alexander yesterday.

“I-I-I don’t remember anything.” Putting up a bold front, she decided to deny it no matter what.

Then, she heard a chuckle above her head that seemed to sound a bit teasing. Courtney thought she had heard it wrong, but when she looked up, Alexander had taken his bathrobe out of the closet and turned around to walk to the door.

“The maid will bring in some clothes and medicine for you later. Come out and eat after you get changed.”

“Medicine?” Courtney was startled for a moment. “What medicine?”

The medicine won’t be something like birth control pills, right?

As she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard a meaningful voice coming from outside the door. “Healing cream.”

At first, Courtney didn’t understand what he meant. However, when she threw back the covers to get out of bed and shower, she saw the bloodstains on the bed sheet. Coupled with the pain she felt while moving her feet slightly, it made her go red in the face at once.

She instantly figured out where she should apply the healing cream.

Oh my God! Just how passionate was the lovemaking session last night? I even grazed myself and bled!

After getting changed, Courtney spent as much as over ten minutes preparing herself mentally in the room. Then, she pulled the door open and went out. When she met the maid—who was about to enter the room to tidy it up—she looked calm and at ease. Not only did she brazen it out and pretended as if nothing had happened, she even greeted the maid by saying, “Good morning.”

The maid’s face was beaming with joy. “It’s not morning anymore, Miss Hunter. It’s already noon.”

Courtney’s originally forced smile looked even more unnatural.

When she came downstairs, Alexander wasn’t in the living room.

“The Young Master is working in the study. He told us to call him when you come downstairs so that you two can have lunch together.”

“Don’t do that.” Courtney quickly raised her hand in a refusing gesture. “There’s no need to call him because I’ll be leaving right away. I-I have something else to attend to, so I won’t be eating lunch here.”

“Huh? This is not good, Miss Hunter. This—”

Fearing that the maid would stop her, Courtney hurriedly went out without even changing her shoes.

However, the sound of a car’s engine turning off outside made her pause in her tracks.

After a black sedan stopped at the entrance to the courtyard, the familiar old butler got out of the sedan and opened the car door for Scott, who then got out of the sedan.

“Miss Hunter?” Scott eyed her up and down expressively. “What a coincidence! I’m here to visit Alex, and you’re here as well.”

“Hi, Mr. Duncan.” The corners of Courtney’s mouth twitched; she felt so guilty that she wished she could bury herself in a hole on the ground. At this instant, she no longer thought that the awkward situation just now was embarrassing, for the awkward situation right now was the most embarrassing moment in the century for her.

It was apparent that Scott’s car had deliberately blocked the entrance to the courtyard to prevent her from leaving.

When Alexander went downstairs from his study two minutes later, Courtney had been arranged to sit at the dining table. The way she straightened out her clothes and sat bold upright made her look as edgy as a criminal awaiting their trial.

“Grandpa?” Alexander came over with a frown. “Why are you here?”

Scott had fondness written all over his face. “You hadn’t gone back to visit me for such a long time, so I decided to drop by and see you. I didn’t expect a surprise, though.”

Drop by and visit me? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Not blowing his grandfather’s cover, Alexander walked to the seat across from Courtney. However, when he was about to sit down, the maid pulled out the chair next to hers. “Please have a seat here, Young Master.”

Courtney cleared her throat and shook her head vigorously at him. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

She looked as guilty as a teenage girl who was caught having fun away from home all night by her elders.

Turning a blind eye at her hopeless expression, Alexander walked straight over and sat down next to her. “Let’s have lunch together since you’re here, Grandpa.”

Scott nodded slightly. He told Courtney to eat more, but he didn’t move his cutlery.

Bracing herself to eat lunch, Courtney felt so ill at ease that she found little taste in the food.

“I have learned about everything that happened last night.”

Upon hearing Scott’s words, Courtney instantly choked on the red braised pork belly that she hadn’t finished chewing up, her face turning crimson. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter a word. Hence, she could only keep downing the glass of water in her hand.

“Alex isn’t an irresponsible person, so I’ll make sure that he doesn’t let you down,” Scott said while giving Alexander a fierce glare. “Do my words still carry weight?”

“You learned of this so quickly, Grandpa.” Alexander shot an emotionless glance at his mansion’s butler, who was standing aside.

Not only did Scott get the news so quickly, he even hurried here early in the morning. It was clear at a glance who had tipped him off.

Courtney, who had finally swallowed that chunk of red braised pork belly, wanted to wave her hand and say that this wasn’t necessary.

However, before she could say so, Scott said to Alexander, “By the way, since your marriage with Courtney has been finalized, you should hurry up and deal with the matter between you and Britney. Those tabloid news reports circulating around are giving me a headache.”

Finalized?

Courtney looked up with a flushed face as it turned pale by turns. What had been finalized while I was choking on a chunk of braised pork belly?
