One Night Surprise Chapter 28
Chapter 28
“Jordan! Are you studying here too? What’s with that sad face? Are you still half-asleep?” Courtney
quickly kneeled down to see Jordan shaking his head in an upset manner.
Meanwhile, Tina was filled with joy the moment she saw Jordan appear beside her, so she quickly held
onto his arm. “You’re here too! That’s great! I have a friend, then! I’ll take care of you from now on!”
Alexander and Britney walked side-by-side toward them. Once Britney saw how close Jordan was with
the mother and daughter, she red at Courtney for a long while. This woman looks familiar.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Price.” Courtney immediately straightened herself after she saw Britney
“You know me?” Britney raised an eyebrow.
“Who wouldn’t know the award-winning actress?” Courtney chuckled. “Also, I was the one who greeted
you when you stayed in the Sunhill Hotel previously.”
You work for Sunhill Enterprise?” Britney froze for a moment as she seemed to have recalled
something then. “Is ‘Hunter’ your surname?” she asked.

Courtney didn’t realize anything odd about Britney’s question, she simply nodded and beamed happily.
“So you still remember me, huh, Miss Price.”
“What’s your daughter’s name?” Britney didn’t respond to her statement. She nced at Tina’s smooth
and innocent face before she felt a sudden jolt in her heart.
Why does this young girl‘s face resemble Alexander’s? No way, she thought.
“I’m Tina Hunter. You can call me Tina.” The young girl abruptly interrupted their conversation as she
nced up at Britney, as if she was analyzing the woman before her eyes.
“Tina Hunter?” Britney’s fists curled up tightly when she heard the name. She recalled the medical
records that she had seen in Alexander’s office that day, and she felt suspicion growing within her.
“Why do you have your mother’s surname?” she asked in a straightforward manner.
Tina turned toward her own mother as she seemed rather confused. Courtney hadn’t realized anything
odd about the questions that Britney had asked previously, but at this point, she’d be an idiot if she
didn’t sense something wrong with Britney’s invasive manners of questioning. She therefore pulled Tina
closer toward her as she replied in a less friendly tone, “Tina grew up in America, so I don’t think she
understands your question since she’s only returned to the country a while ago. Furthermore, it’s the
21st century; is it really that odd that she takes her mother’s surname?”
Britney was rather taken aback by this, but she felt even more displeased when she saw Jordan hiding
himself behind Courtney as well. Her tone took a more hostile turn. “It’s fine to take either parent’s
surname; I was just curious because a school like Sapphire Kindergarten isn’t a ce that anyone can
just enrol their children into. You’re just a manager under probation in the Sunhill Enterprise; I don’t see
how you can have the ability to send your child here apart from having a husband with an impressive
background”
This left Courtney feeling rather embarrassed. She wasn’t the one who provoked Britney to begin with,
yet thetter’s tone of voice sounded hostile and rude. Furthermore, Britney’s words had directly
attacked a vulnerable spot of hers-it was true that she would have no ability to send Tina to such a
school if she didn’t have help. Courtney therefore didn’t know what to say in response.
“That’s none of your business,” said Alexander as he interrupted Britney to get Courtney out of her
embarrassing situation. “Does everyone here have to inform you of how they got enrolled into this
school? You’ve been too much of a busybody recently,” he uttered as he shed Britney a look of
disdain.
Britney’s face turned pale immediately. How can he speak up for this woman? He even shamed
me in front of her. “I was just asking for Jordan’s sake, Alexander. I thought it’d be better to rify
things as | was worried that the environment at school might be messy.” She tried her best to fix the
situation.
“There’s no need for that. You can go back to the car. I’ll send Jordan in myself.” Alexander’s
attitude was cold; he didn’t even look at her. Since he had given his orders, the security at the entrance
had a duty to stop Britney from entering the schoolpounds. This was a rule at Sapphire
Kindergarten.
“Alexander!” Britney furiously stomped her foot against the ground as she watched Alexander and
Courtney walking in together. They didn‘t even bother to turn around and check on me, she thought
furiously. Tina and Jordan strolled around in front of the two adults. The little girl flinched when she
turned around to see Britney throwing a tantrum outside the gates. “Jordan, do you really like that
woman outside? I think she’s a little scary.”
Ever since Scott told Tina about the news of Alexander and Britney’s marriage, she had been doing her
research on Britney online. She looked like a beautiful angel in all the pictures uploaded online, but
now that Tina saw her in person, she simply pursed her lips in
dissatisfaction. She probably just dresses in a trendier manner. But her face and the mean and harsh w
ay she talks makes her
iparable to my own mother! Mr. Alexander has such bad taste
Jordan seemed a little agitated as he quickly shook his head. “Do you like her? Do you want her to be
your stepmother?” Tina asked with a look of surprise on her face. Jordan shook his head even harder
than before. “Does that mean that you don’t want her to be your stepmother?” Tina’s eyes lit up
excitedly. Jordan nodded his head again then.
“Well… what about my mother, then? Do you think you’d like it better if my mother became your
stepmother instead? The food that Mommy and I make is delicious,” she said with her eyes widened.
Jordan nodded his head with all his might. When she saw this, she jumped around with joy, as if she
had just found a sliver of hope. She then held onto Jordan’s hand in a formal manner as she stared at
him with her big eyes. “You’ll be my elder brother from now on then. Don’t worry, as long as I have
scrumptious meat in my bowl, you’ll never have to fill your tummy with soup, okay?”
Jordan nodded for a while before he suddenly shook his head. He then looked down and began to
write on his drawing board before he held it up to show her. Tina didn’t know a lot of words, so she
frowned when she looked at it. “What are you writing, Jordan?”
Seeing this, Jordan tottered over to his father before shoving his drawing board to him. Jordan then
pointed at the drawing board before pointing toward Tina, indicating for Alexander to read it out to her.
Alexander threw his son a curious stare as Jordan anxiously tugged against his sleeve. With a frown,
Alexander read the sentence out. “I’m really rich, so we can eat meat together. We won’t have to
survive on soup at all. Why did you write this, Jordan?”
But Jordan simply threw a faint nce at Alexander before he snatched the board away, ran back to
Tina, and gave her a wink. Tina burst intoughter as she nodded at Jordan excitedly. “That’s true!
Hahaha!”
While Alexander saw all the odd exchanges between the two children, he couldn’t understand what
was going on at all.
Well, I guess it‘s no surprise that I can‘t understand these kids‘ behaviors. There‘s no need for me to ove
Meanwhile, Courtney seemed rather distant as she strode in with them. She only came to her senses
when she heard the two childrenughing heartily. After some hesitation, she finally turned toward
Alexander. “Thank you for helping with Tina’s enrollment, President Duncan.”
He continued looking forward without revealing any emotions on his face. “Don’t think too much about
it. As a father, I just want Jordan to have a friend, and it seems like Jordan really gets along well with
Tina. Tina’s his first friend.”
Courtney felt a little speechless upon hearing this. He spent all that money for Tina to
study here just because he wanted a friend for his son. You can really do whatever you want to
when you‘re rich. I wouldn‘t have had to go through all the trouble
to send her here if it weren‘t for Doctor Ishiguro. But now, I‘ll just have
to deal with all the troubles; l‘ll have to deal with them really well. From where she stood behind
Alexander, Courtney angrily cracked her knuckles to make loud noises.
“What’s that sound?” Alexander turned around to look at her.
She then let go of her hands as she beamed. “What? What sound? I didn’t hear anything.”
“Huh. Perhaps I’ve misheard,” he said calmly as his gaze sharpened.
Once the admission procedures werepleted, the helpers came forward and led the two children
into their ssroom. Both Courtney and Alexander hade along to observe the school’s
environments, but the difference between them was that Courtney had to arrive at work by 9.00AM.
She was running out of time, so she had to speedily tour around the whole school.
