One Night Surprise Chapter 66Chapter 66 How Could She Date Someone Younger Than Her?

“You’ll stay in this room.” Courtney opened the door to a bedroom. “I have talked to Cameron, and she

said that she’s fine with you staying here.”

“Cameron is a chivalrous lady, so she won’t be indifferent to my predicament, of course.” Shay leaned

against the door to his room with his head tilted to one side. After looking at the inside of the room, he

nodded his head with satisfaction.

“Don’t take my kindness for granted. Move out once you find a place to stay. This isn’t my house, so it’s

inappropriate for you to stay here.”

“I got it!” Shay threw his arm around her shoulders. “What are we going to eat for dinner, sis?”

“Spaghetti bolognese.”

“I love your spaghetti bolognese the most.”

Sitting on the carpet, Tina ate the chocolate Shay brought her from overseas with a look of satisfaction

while listening to the conversation outside through the opened bedroom door. As she recalled

Alexander’s response at the kindergarten’s entrance on this day, her big eyes flickered again.

There hasn’t been much progress in Mommy’s relationship with Mr. Alexander since they’ve been living

together for such a long time. It seems that some reinforcements are needed!

novelbinThe next day, Courtney went out early in the morning to shop for groceries.

After all, she felt obligated to give Shay a welcome dinner since he was here.She had only been gone for a while before the doorbell rang. Shay, who went to answer the door,

opened the door while asking, “Did you forget something?”

However, when he opened the door, he didn’t see Courtney.

“Who are you?”

Alexander stood at the door while holding Jordan’s hand. He came because Jordan had been pestering

his father to take him to Courtney’s place for lunch since this morning, but he didn’t expect Shay to be

here as well. Hence, his expression changed instantly.

Just as both sides were locked in a stalemate, Shay suddenly clapped his hands as if recalling

something. “You’re the father of Tina’s classmate, right? We met yesterday at the kindergarten

entrance. Are you staying in this apartment building too?”

“Mr. Alexander!” Tina spoke from inside her room. “Jordan! You both are here!”

She scampered out of her room right after that and said, “Shay, Mr. Alexander is Mommy’s superior

and close friend, whereas Jordan is my classmate. They’re often here for dinner.”

“Oh, I see.” Shay gave a warm smile while making way for them. “In that case, please come in. Don’t

stand at the door.”

He conducted himself as if he was the man of the house.

Meanwhile, Jordan knitted his brows while glaring at him with a hostile expression.

Paying no attention to the little boy at his feet, Shay looked at Alexander with a smile. “Courtney

doesn’t have many friends since she has just returned to the country. I heard from her that she has

gotten a job at Sunhill Enterprise. You must be taking good care of her.”“She’s a capable woman,” Alexander answered perfunctorily. Then, he asked, “What’s your relationship

with her? I heard from her yesterday that Tina calls you Uncle Shay?”

He had never heard about the Hunter Family having a son before.

“That’s right.” Shay raised his brow slightly. “Courtney took me home back then; I can be considered

her half-brother, but we’re not related by blood. To put it accurately, I’m her future boyfriend, which is

something akin to a child groom. Do you understand that?”

A child groom…

Alexander had never seen a man who gave himself this title in such a self-satisfied tone throughout the

30 years of his life.

“You’re quite humorous,” he commented briefly.

“Humorous?” Shay looked at him. “Do you think that I’m joking? I’m telling the truth. Courtney will be

my girlfriend in the future anyway; just ask Tina if you don’t believe it.”

Three pairs of eyes then fell on Tina simultaneously.

Tina blinked her eyes and nodded solemnly after being startled for a moment. “That’s right. Mommy

and Shay are very close! It’ll be very cool if Shay becomes my Daddy.”

Upon hearing this, Alexander inexplicably felt a tightness in his chest as if there was a lump in his

chest. He said gruffly, “I didn’t notice before that your Mom is quite open-minded when it comes to

relationships. How could she date someone younger than her while having a daughter?”

“The society is progressing. Besides, I’m only two years younger than Courtney.” Shay smiled, and a

trace of caution flashed across his eyes as he looked at Alexander. “Have a seat while I pour you some

tea.”With that, he entered the kitchen deftly.

This man named Alexander seems to be a formidable rival, he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Tina took Jordan to her bedroom. “Look, Jordan—I can’t solve this Rubik’s Cube. Please

take a look and help me solve it.”

Folding his arms across his chest, Jordan stood aside and snorted angrily without talking to her.

“Jordan?” Tina looked up at him while scratching her head. “What’s wrong with you?”

The sight of her innocent expression angered Jordan even more. He picked up his drawing board and

wrote, ‘My Daddy is rich and handsome, so how could you give your heart to another man at the sight

of him? I don’t want to talk to you anymore.’

Tina stared at the drawing board for a long time, but she couldn’t make out what Jordan meant. “What

are you saying? I don’t know many words, Jordan.”

Taking a deep breath, Jordan spent a while writing and drawing before handing the drawing board to

her again.

The left side of the drawing board showed a man in a suit and a woman with long, wavy hair who held

hands with each other while taking a child’s hand each. The right side of the drawing board showed a

man in sportswear and a woman with long, wavy hair who held hands with a girl together.

Jordan was fuming with anger as he pointed at the drawing board and then at Tina.

Tina realized what he meant. “Are you saying that I didn’t keep my promise?”

Jordan nodded.We agreed to find a way to become a family and eat meat together by uniting our parents! Why would

you break your promise after meeting a good-looking guy? Women’s hearts are really as fickle as the

changing weather!

“Haha!” Tina suddenly laughed. “You’ve been duped too! It proves that my acting was superb, Jordan.”

Jordan frowned with a puzzled look.

“Aren’t you worried that there hasn’t been much progress in the relationship between my mommy and

your daddy after such a long time?” Tina sat straight on the carpet. She explained, “I was just

pretending! Grandpa Scott told me that there will be pressure only when there’s a competition, so I

think that Shay’s return would definitely put Mr. Alexander under pressure. Only then will Mr. Alexander

consider taking his relationship with my Mommy a step further!”

Jordan kept a straight face as he was unconvinced.

“Didn’t you notice that Mr. Alexander looked angry when he saw Shay just now?” Tina tugged at his

sleeve with a smug expression. “I think that Mr. Alexander must have fallen in love with my Mommy a

long time ago. We just have to redouble our efforts!”

Upon hearing this, Jordan recalled Alexander’s response just now; only then did his expression soften

a little.

Tina’s words seem to make some sense. Daddy rarely smiles, so how could he possibly chase a lady

on his own initiative? He probably won’t even know what to do if there’s no pressure on him!

At the thought of this, Jordan became enlightened at once; he nodded vigorously at Tina.

Meanwhile, Courtney, who had returned from her grocery shopping, opened the door to see two men

sitting on the sofa. The house was strangely quiet except for Tina’s occasional laughter in the bedroom.What’s going on?

Seeing that she had returned, Shay immediately got up. “You’re back,” he said while walking to the

door to take the grocery bags she was carrying. “Let me take the bags.”

Alexander stood up from the sofa as well.

Courtney put down her handbag and asked, “Why are you here?”

Alexander answered unhurriedly with a calm expression, “Jordan wanted to visit you, so I brought him

here.”

“Jordan is here too?” Courtney threw a glance at the direction of Tina’s bedroom. She suggested in a

natural tone, “It happens that I have bought some extra groceries. Let’s stay and have lunch together.”

Shay’s expression changed subtly.
