One Night Surprise Chapter 249Chapter 249 I Was the One Who Suggested Us to Break Up

Everyone in the Duncan Family knew that Alexander had disliked people to joke about his relationship

with Hannah.

After all, it was indeed ridiculous that a legitimate young master like him had to address a 13-year-old

young girl as his aunt.

Scott, of course, knew about it, which was the reason why he intentionally teased Alexander about it.

After appraising Alexander’s face, which was as dark as night, Hannah gulped before carefully uttering,

“Truth be told, I don’t mind preparing meals for Jordan. Jordan is your only great-grandson and he

doesn’t have perfect health to begin with, so it would be bad if his health worsens due to hunger.”

“So, you mean to say that you agree to allow Courtney to stay in our house?”

“Dad, I thought that you used to like her a lot?”

Upon hearing that, Scott frowned and explained in displeasure, “That was before I found out that she

isn’t divorced.”

Noticing that he was about to get mad, Hannah did not dare to continue discussing the matter. “Then,

you just pretend that we hired a new chef. Our house is gigantic anyway, so it would be easy if you

don’t wish to see her.” After saying that, she cast a glance at Alexander before she continued in a small

voice. “Besides, from what I heard earlier, if you don’t allow her to come over, there is nothing much

you can do if she goes to my nephew’s house.”

When Scott heard that, his body tensed. Her words reminded him that stopping Courtney from coming

to his place would only push her to Alexander’s place and things would be beyond his control by then.“Alright, then. Ask her to come over to cook this weekend.” He immediately changed his mind and

agreed.

Scott was a man of his words. Upon hearing his agreement, Hannah heaved a sigh of relief before

raising her head to raise her brows at Alexander with a complacent look on her face.

The ungrateful Alexander, however, darted a cold look at her, giving her a fright that made her hair

stand on end. She then gave an excuse to flee the scene.

novelbinSince the next day was Saturday, Courtney and Tina came over for a visit again and the maids were

polite to them.

After taking Courtney to the kitchen, the maid looked at Tina and said, “Miss Hunter, I’ll take Tina to

play with Little Master.”

Before Courtney could reply, Tina snorted, “I don’t want to go. I want to stay here and accompany

Mommy.”

“Little Master has been waiting for you for a long time, though. He even prepared a gift for you.”

She pouted. “I don’t want to go.”

Seeing that the maid was going to continue to persuade Tina, Courtney chimed in to ease the situation,

“It’s alright. Preparing a meal won’t take me a long time and I will take her home right after that. So,

let’s save the trouble.”

She had no plans on staying for long due to her awkward identity. In fact, if it was not for Jordan’s sake,

she would not have shown up.

When Courtney was cooking, Tina carried a little stool to the side and sat on it. She washed a tomato

before handing it to her daughter. Tina ate the tomato in a carefree manner until her face was coveredin pink juice as she slurred her words, “Mommy, hurry up. Can we have fried chicken after you finish

cooking?”

“Okay,” Courtney helplessly replied.

The cooking process did not take her long as the ingredients were ready for her to use. The Duncan

Family’s chef had already prepared the meat for all the chicken, duck, fish, and pork, so all Courtney

had to do was to throw them into the pot. Soon, the aroma from her cooking filled the entire kitchen and

one could smell the scent even from outside the kitchen.

Scott’s room was separated by two courtyards from the kitchen and the butler reported to him at the

door. “Sir, the chef has arrived.”

“Come in.” Scott was practicing calligraphy—his penmanship was sharp and powerful, resembling a

dragon’s aura.

“Has she arrived?”

The chef immediately replied, “Yes, Miss Hunter came with her daughter. I initially asked her to hand

her daughter to me so that I can bring the latter to Little Master’s room to play with him, but her

daughter refused. The mother and daughter are in the kitchen now.”

He snorted. “She thinks she is smart, huh? Does she think this would make Alexander and Jordan take

the initiative to see her? When we have lunch later, take the two of them to the dining room at the side

wing. We are not eating with them.”

The chef carefully glanced at Scott. “However, Miss Hunter said that she will leave right after she has

finished preparing the meal. Since she came to cook before lunch, I think that she may not have any

plans to stay for the day.”He furrowed his brows at her words, inexplicably feeling annoyed.

The butler glanced at him before asking the chef to leave. “Sir, I think Miss Hunter is not a promiscuous

woman. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding in this?”

“Isn’t it a fact that she is a married woman?” Scott was displeased. “Why are you starting to take her

side? Did Alexander tell you something?”

“That’s not true.” The butler shook his head. “Sir, if you are not sure about it, perhaps you can check

her out.”

“Check her out?” Scott raised his head and looked at the butler with puzzlement.

After a while, he put his pen down before walking out from his desk with his hands behind his back.

“Alright. Let’s go and check her out.”

It was burning hot in the kitchen. After Courtney finished preparing three dishes and a soup, she

covered the dishes with an insulated food cover before wiping her hands and removing the apron.

“Tina, let’s go.”

“Okay.” Tina jumped from her little stool and pounced into Courtney’s embrace.

“Hey, don’t you mind that I smell like smoke now?”

“I don’t mind as long as it is you, Mommy.” After that, she nuzzled in her mother’s arms and uttered.

“Mommy, let’s go. I want to eat honey fried chicken.”

“You can eat to your heart’s content.” Then, Courtney held Tina’s hand and exited the kitchen.

Before they could arrive at the entrance, they saw Scott’s familiar figure walking toward them. He

seemed to be full of vim and vigor as he strode toward them in large steps.“Grand—Old Master Duncan.” Courtney suddenly changed the way she addressed him with a calm

expression.

He hummed in acknowledgement before glancing in the direction behind her and asking, “Have you

finished preparing lunch?”

“Yes. Three dishes and a soup. They are all Jordan’s favorites.”

“As a matter of a fact, you are not the first one to use Jordan to approach Alexander, but you are

indeed the first one whom Jordan is relying on so much. However, don’t forget that I’m still the one in

charge of the Duncan Family. I won’t allow something inappropriate to happen to my only grandson.”

His words were straightforward and blatant. However, Courtney calmly replied while holding her

daughter’s hand, “Old Master Duncan, I’m afraid that you have misunderstood something. I’ve broken

up with Alexander and I have no intention to reconcile with him. I am merely close to Jordan and he is

also Tina’s good friend. So, making two meals for him is not a big deal.”

Scott frowned. “Are you really done with Alexander?”

“Did you have some kind of misunderstanding?” She furrowed her brows. “Something that most people

desire does not necessarily become something that everybody desires. Alexander and I are really

incompatible. Therefore, I won’t even consider getting back with him even if you try to set us up.

Perhaps you don’t know this, but I was the one who suggested we break up.”
