One Night Surprise Chapter 289
Chapter 289 How Can a Man Stay at Home Every Day
Facing Courtney’s question, Scott and Tina looked at each other for a while across the safety. Just
as the child was about to say something, Scott started coughing intensely.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Beside him, Harry immediately understood his intentions, so he quickly went up and asked
concernedly, “Master, are you alright?”
Courtney also asked about his condition, automatically forgetting the query she had just now.
“I’m fine. It’s just a bit cold outside. It’ll be dark soon so let’s go home.”
After all, Scott was old now so it was reasonable for him to have such a request.
Courtney then called the two children out of the yground and gave them some advice before letting
Harry and Scott take them away.
When leaving, Tina still looked reluctant to leave but through the car window, Courtney could see Scott
conjuring a box of choctes that the two of them loved, much like a magician.
Almost instantly, the little girl was smiling again.
What a greedy little kitten.
Resigned, Courtney shook her head before hailing a cab at the side of the road.
“Sir, please head to Greenville.”
After Courtney left, only the two sick patients—Alexander and Oliver—were left in the apartment.
Compared to Oliver’s nonsensical talk, Alexander was much easier to take care of.
“I feel that Courtney is still reluctant to talk to you.” On the couch in the living room, Oliver poked his
head out of the nket and blew his nose before throwing the tissue paper into the trash can. “Don’t
you n to do something? After all, you are at fault for this. Don’t think that it’ll all go away just because
you are sick. Courtney won’t want to argue with a sick person.”
However, Alexander didn’t look like someone who was sick. Instead, he was now standing behind the
kitchen’s marble table in full spirits while serving himself a cup of tea. Upon listening to Oliver’s words,
he replied without even lifting his head, “Mind your own business.”
“You can’t fake your illness forever, can you?” Hearing that, Alexander red at Oliver while taking two
sses of water out of the kitchen. Then, he ced one of the sses in front of Oliver, along with the
medicine. “It’s time for my medicine again?” Oliver sighed. “Why do I feel worse after eating the
medicine you give me?”
“You should have this before your meal. If you don’t want to eat your meal, you can take the medicine
later on,” Alexander said tly. “Also, I’m not the one who gave you these medicines; it’s the doctor who
prescribed it to you.”
“Why didn’t the doctor prescribe some to you?”
“He did.” Alexander looked at him profoundly.
Due to the flu, Oliver’s brain couldn’t quite function properly but when he saw Alexander’s expression,
he finally understood. Then, he reached out into his nket and grabbed a bottle of pills before
popping them down his throat. After taking a gulp of water, he muttered, “Pretend I didn’t ask.”
Actually, Alexander’s cold was cured long ago. Even if he stopped taking the medicines, the period of
his flu infection was already long gone. Moreover, he even took the medicines for a few days. If Oliver
didn’t find out afterward that Alexander threw the pills into the trash can, no one would know that he
was faking his illness.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
As a form of returning the favor for not telling Courtney immediately about Oliver regaining his
memories, Oliver pretended as though nothing was off.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came, causing Alexander’s initially straight posture to bend
over as hey down on the couch. All of these happened before Oliver even had the chance to realize
it. Alexander even snatched away Oliver’s nket and covered himself.
“You really are something!” Oliver gave him a look.
The next second, Courtney opened the door and came in with two huge grocery bags from the
supermarket.
“We are having hot pot tonight.”
Oliver sniffed and he raised his hand slightly. “No objections.”
As Courtney changed her shoes, she could see the sick duo lying on the couch. “Oliver, you aren’t
wearing enough clothes. Why don’t you cover yourself in a nket?”
Listening to her, Oliver nced at the person on the opposite end.
I was covering myself in that warm nket but someone took it by force to fake his illness.
Just as he was about to say something, an intense cough was heard on the opposite side.
Cough! Cough!
If Courtney weren’t here, Oliver would have given Alexander a big thumbs up.
What great acting skills; breathtaking, to say the very least.
“What is it? Are you alright?” Immediately, Courtney went over to ask Alexander while reaching out her
hand to his forehead, checking his temperature. “It has been a week but your cold isn’t getting better.
Shall we go to the hospital?”
Alexander shook his head while deepening his voice. “No need for that. I can just rest at home.”
When saying these words, he nced at Oliver with the corner of his eyes, warning him not to say
anything.
Oliver pouted his lips and crossed his arms as he went back to his room.
I’m not having any of this.
“That won’t do.” Courtney withdrew her hand and carried the two bags into the kitchen. “Your
grandfather picked up Jordan just now and I can see that he wants you to return to Sunhill Enterprise.”
“I’m not going back there.” Alexander’s voice came from behind.
Then, Courtney ced the two bags on the kitchen counter before taking the items out one by one.
“Why not? Are you still angry at your grandfather? It’s normal for an elderly to be stubborn. Since he
has given you a chance to back down, you should do so quickly.”
“I feel that this is quite a nice life.” While covering himself with the nket, Alexander’s floral shirt cor
was revealed—Courtney had bought it for him in bulk—as he turned around to look in the direction of
the kitchen, his eyes gentle.
“How can a man stay at home every day?” Courtney mumbled. “You know what? Do whatever you
want; it’s your business anyway.”
Listening to her words, Alexander’s expression changed slightly as his once gentle eyes started to
harden. “Are you still angry about the party that day?”
Courtney stopped washing the vegetables and answered him without raising her head, “No; it was such
a long time ago; you are thinking too much. You’d better get some rest.”
However, Alexander mistook the restlessness in her eyes as her still being angry at him, so he quickly
exined, “I’ve told you that what Kelly said to me that day was what Vanessa told you in front of those
people. I only wanted her to shut up. At that time, I didn’t know that it had already happened at the
party. I just didn’t want you to hear those words.”
“You’ve already told me that.” Courtney continued washing the vegetables with her head down. From
the corner of her eyes, she noticed that Alexander had stood up from the couch. The flowery shirt and
casual beige shorts weren’t enough to conceal his perfect body as he walked toward her.
Truth be told, Courtney didn’t care much that Alexander and Kelly came out of the lounge together at
the party. However, she was in a bad mood that day at the party, so she made a huge fuss out of it.
She didn’t take it seriously but Alexander seemed to be worried about it the whole time.
“Why do I get the feeling that you still seem to be upset?” He walked to the kitchen door and gazed at
the side of her face in concern. “Ever since you came back from the party, you always look troubled
inside. Is there anything that you want to tell me?”
“Can you not mention what happened that day? I don’t want to hear it.” Courtney took a deep breath
while feeling nervous inside.
“They framed me.”
“But what if they didn’t?”
