One Night Surprise Chapter 109Chapter 109 I Want to Eat Your Noodles
Oliver had not been in the lounge for long when Courtney was done with her work and came to the
lounge to pick up the kids.
“You’re here too.” She smiled when she saw him. “Addie informed me that you went to Campus City
earlier in the afternoon. Did you get anything?”
He shook his head. “I’m familiar with that place you mentioned, but it still doesn’t jog my memory.”
A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes as she comforted him. “I see, but don’t worry.
Campus City is not a big place. I’ll accompany you there this weekend to ask some questions.”
Oliver smiled as if he was not concerned about regaining his memories and identity.
“Let’s have dinner tonight. I already found a great place.”
“Sure.”
Upon seeing how quick Courtney agreed to his invitation, Jordan’s expression immediately changed as
he quickly wrote his words on the drawing board before holding it up for her to see.
‘Aren’t you going to my house?’
After reading his words, Courtney rubbed his head and smiled. “I’m going to your house, but in the
evening. Mr. Harry called me in the afternoon to inform me that your father is away for the night
because he needs to head on a sudden business trip. I feel worried about leaving you and Tina at
home alone, so you are staying with me tonight. I’ll send you over tomorrow.”Upon hearing her, Jordan’s brows became tighter. How can Dad go on a business trip at such a crucial
time? Is every adult a careless person?
novelbinAlthough he felt upset about it, he had no choice but to follow them to dinner. When they arrived at the
destination, his eyes were wide open.
At the bustling night market of Campus City, young men and women were walking down the streets
while the various food stalls exuded a strong smokey scent. The place was so lively that Tina could not
blink her eyes. “Wow! It’s so lively here!”
When Courtney heard Tina’s astonishment, she could not help but sigh. “It has been many years since
I’ve been to a night market in the country. How do you find this place?”
“I remember a place like this in my mind.” Oliver’s eyes were filled with joy. “But I can’t remember who I
came here with. However, it feels like I came to this place often, so I brought you here. I remember
there is a clean food stall nearby and it has a good business too.”
Courtney’s eyes flickered as she asked, “Are you talking about Mrs. Fletcher’s kebab?”
“You know about it?” Oliver was dumbfounded.
“I studied at a medical school in Campus City six years ago and that food stall is the most famous one
around here. I can’t believe it is still open for business after so many years, but sadly, I never had the
chance to head there.”
“This is a great opportunity for you to make up for the regret.” He followed up on her words and they
went straight to the food stall.
Although it was still early at night, the food stalls were in full swing as people continuously came and
went. It was fortunately still early, so they were able to find a seat.Then, Oliver ordered the dishes as if he was familiar with them, before handing the menu over to the
waiter. “Other than the kebabs, I would like another two beef noodles. It’s for the kids, so please
prepare a small portion and don’t make it spicy.”
After the waiter left, he turned toward Courtney and realized that she was looking around the place with
the same curiosity as Tina.
“Haven’t you visited the food stalls in the night market before?”
“Not really.” Courtney turned her head and smiled embarrassingly. “I never had any friends in the
country and the ones I have don’t usually come to this sort of place. Although I wanted to visit here, I
never had the chance to do so because I’m always alone.”
The moment she mentioned her past, she seemed to feel relieved, but in all honesty, she had suffered
a lot back then.
During her early years in Melrose City, no one in the school dared to be friends with her because of
Anna. As a kid, she became used to being alone until her years in university because she did not enroll
in the same place as Anna. However, she was careless with her only best friend at that time as the
latter became her first love’s lover.
As Oliver saw her expression, he had a strange mutual feeling, as if the two of them experienced the
same childhood. “It looks like I don’t have any friends either.” He went straight to the point. “Otherwise,
I wouldn’t have been missing for so long without any police reports.”
“It’s fine. We’ll take this slowly.”
After they chatted for a while, the waiter served the dishes one after another.
“The chicken wings here are really good. Tina, don’t you want one? You can try.”“It’s alright. She is never picky with her food. It’s fine for her to eat something like this now and then.”
Courtney removed the chicken wings from the stick and placed them in Tina’s bowl. “There you go.”
“It’s not her that I’m worried about. It’s this little master.” Oliver took a profound look at Jordan. “He
doesn’t seem like he has eaten from a food stall before. I don’t think he’s used to it.”
Courtney turned toward Jordan and realized that he did not look good at all. Not only did he not take a
bite of the beef noodles in front of him, he did not even seem to be interested in the kebabs on the
table.
“What is it, Jordan? Don’t you want to eat?” She looked concerned.
After that, he furrowed his brow and wrote a line of words on the drawing board—‘I want to eat your
noodles.”
She felt resigned as she rubbed his head. “Alright. I’ll make some for you when we get home, but it’s
time for dinner now. Can you please eat some to fill your stomach for a while? We’ll be back soon after
dinner.”
Upon listening to her advice, he reluctantly nodded and slowly ate the noodles.
In Courtney’s heart, she understood that Jordan was born with a silver spoon, so it was not a surprise
that he was not used to the atmosphere in a food stall. Although she quickly wanted to finish her food
so that they could leave, Tina was having a great time eating. In the end, she was getting a little out of
hand with her food intake, so they ordered some chicken wings for takeaway.
After dinner, Courtney drove and sent Oliver to the hotel first before bringing the two kids back home.
As soon as they returned home, she still remembered to make a bowl of noodles for Jordan, but he
seemed to have a bad appetite because he only ate half of the bowl.After midnight, Courtney was suddenly woken up by Tina.
“Mommy? Mommy, it’s bad.”
Courtney sat up while her eyes were still sleepy. “What is it?”
“Jordan has a stomachache and he is now on the floor after falling from his bed.”
Upon hearing those words, she almost instantly woke up and jumped off from her bed. With bare feet,
she rushed to his bedroom and was nearly frightened to death when she saw his tiny body curled up on
the floor.
“Jordan? Jordan…”
As she placed her hand on his forehead, she noticed that his head was severely burning. Just when
she was about to carry him up, he vomited all over her.
“Mommy, what happened?” Tina was so scared that her face had turned pale and her voice was now
much softer.
“Tina, I want you to stay in the house alone. Can you sleep in my room first? I’m going to bring him to
the hospital.”
“I want to come with you.”
“Listen to me.”
After giving out her order, Courtney carried Jordan downstairs to her car and drove straight to the
hospital without even changing her clothes. While waiting outside the emergency room, the butler from
the Duncan Family had also rushed over after receiving the news.
“What happened to Little Master? He was still fine when I saw him this evening.”With a guilty face, she explained, “I don’t know. He was vomiting everywhere, so it might be because
he ate something bad. I took him to a food stall beside the road to eat some noodles earlier tonight, but
he didn’t eat much of it. He only ate a few bites, so it doesn’t make sense.”
“Food stall?” The butler’s expression changed. “How could you let him eat at a food stall?”
