One Night Surprise Chapter 259Chapter 259 Who Can’t Forget You?
“It’s just a guess but the probability is very high,” Oliver spoke carefully.
In Melrose City, Alexander was known for being completely uninterested in women. However, the fact
that Britney stayed beside him for around six years showed that apart from being smart, someone else
must have given her some pointers. Otherwise, based on her position as a celebrity, Scott would not
have allowed her to enter the Duncan Family as she liked.
After thinking this through, a chill ran down Courtney’s spine.
I’m afraid that even Alexander doesn’t know about this.
Oliver smiled relaxedly after seeing Courtney’s worried expression.
“Stop brooding about it. I’ll look into it when I’m free. If something like this has really happened, you just
have to remind him to be careful of Britney.”
Courtney returned to her senses and her expression changed slightly.
“Why should I remind him?”
Oliver ignored her comment and looked at the bedroom door meaningfully. Then, his gaze traveled
down to the slit between the door and the floor; there seemed to be a shadow there.
“It’s getting pretty late. Courtney, I believe I should get going. If it gets any later, I’m afraid someone
might destroy the door.”
Courtney froze upon hearing Oliver’s reply, not understanding what he was referring to.
“Sure; see you later.”After he left, Courtney was thinking about this incident in her room.
If Britney really hooked up with James, does she really like Alexander? As for James’ return to the
Sunhill Enterprise this time, how much does she play a part in it?
As Courtney was deep in her thoughts, she did not realize a figure had entered the room.
It was only when she heard the sound of the door closing that she returned to her senses and lifted her
head blankly. She then noticed Alexander standing in the bedroom with his newly-bought flowery T-
shirt and beige pants; his hair was still wet and he smelled of jasmine.
Without waiting for Courtney to say anything, he started the conversation first.
“I couldn’t find a hairdryer.”
“Oh.” Courtney froze for a moment. “It’s right next to my bed; I’ll go get it for you. Give me a moment.”
“Not to worry; I’ll get it. You just stay seated.”
With that, Alexander walked to her bed.
When he walked past her, the slight breeze that blew past him made the jasmine aroma stronger.
Courtney’s mind seemed to stop functioning at that instant.
If he’s just here for the hairdryer, why did he close the door?
“It’s in the drawer on top of the bed,” Courtney reminded him.
Sitting by the bed, Alexander pulled the drawer open. Instead of taking the hairdryer out, he looked at
the drawer for a long time without moving.“What’s wrong? Isn’t it there?” Courtney walked over, feeling perplexed. “Let me have a look.”
The lamp by the bed lit the drawer up. As she reached the edge of the bed, she froze when she saw
the blue box that was opened. Then, her entire face promptly flushed red.
The blue rectangle box clearly showed the words ‘Durex’.
What the f*ck? Why didn’t I throw this?
Alexander raised his head to look at her calmly. “This is the box that we didn’t finish last time?”
What kind of question is that?
Courtney’s lips twitched slightly as her expression became even more cold. “Or else? What are you
trying to imply?”
You thought I used this with another man after breaking up with you?
novelbinAlexander stopped looking confused. “That’s not what I meant,” he murmured. “I just remembered that
we could finish the entire box every time, so this is rather odd.”
At that moment, Courtney’s face was as red as a tomato. As she took out the hairdryer, she said
flusteredly, “Can you stop talking and get out as soon as you take the hairdryer?”
The more she panicked, the more mishaps she seemed to make. When she took the hairdryer, the
cord moved the Durex box and it fell out of the drawer onto the ground.
Courtney’s expression changed and she did not know whether to pick it up or not.
She quietly appraised Alexander from the corner of her eyes. Without any particular reason, she
suddenly remembered the deep kiss in front of the supermarket. Something within her itched, as if a
thousand ants were crawling all over her.How is it possible that he doesn’t even flush, nor does his heart beat speed up after kissing me for
more than ten minutes? Then, he even came to my room and asked for a hairdryer from me. On top of
that, he’s so calm after seeing the condoms that we didn’t finish!
Is he crazy?
Compared to Courtney’s panic, Alexander’s calm had reached its peak. He crouched naturally and
picked the box of Durex up. Then, he passed it to Courtney while stretching his other hand out.
“What do you want?”
Courtney took a step back as though she was facing her arch enemy.
Without any change in his expression, Alexander replied curtly, “The hairdryer.”
The air between them froze for a few seconds. Feeling beyond embarrassed, Courtney quickly handed
the hairdryer to him.
“Don’t forget about this.” Alexander seemed to be teasing her by insisting on giving the box of Durex to
her stubbornly. “This is yours, after all.”
At that instant, Courtney felt that it was a miracle that she did not break down.
Initially, she planned to just relent and take the box from him. However, when her fingertips touched it,
she suddenly could not suppress her emotions and she grabbed the box and threw it at Alexander.
“Do you think it’s fun to toy with me like this? Are you nuts?”
Courtney’s temper suddenly flared up fiercely. As anger bubbled up within her, she roared out all the
frustrations she had faced over the past few days. In fact, she was so angry that her body was
trembling.“You play the pity card using Jordan so that I will go to your place to cook for you. Fine! Seeing as it
was him, I went over. Then, you kept showing off your love with your dear fiancée while mocking me,
saying that I’m not good enough for your family. You see, I can’t afford to keep in touch with you but I
can avoid you. Now, however, you directly come over to my place. Even after I allowed you to stay
here, you humiliated me again and again! Aren’t you just trying to prove how capable you are and how
all women can’t seem to forget you after you leave them?”
Alexander looked at her coldly with an expression of disagreement, but he did not object to her
allegations.
Seeing his demeanour, Courtney thought that he had acquiesced to her statements and became even
angrier. She directly took the pillow beside her and threw it at him. “You psychopath! Get out!”
The pillows and blanket hit Alexander but it did not bring him any pain at all.
After everything around her had been thrown at him, Courtney panted heavily and pointed at Alexander
with trembling fingers.
While still sitting on the edge of the bed, Alexander pushed the pillows and blankets away from him and
looked at her seriously. “So what you’re saying is that you still can’t forget me?” He was not affected by
her fury at all, yet Courtney hated his calm composure when she saw him.
“No! Those who can’t forget you are idiots!” Courtney denied loudly.
“Then what are you doing now?” Alexander asked.
Courtney was still wearing the casual clothes that she went out in—a pair of baggy trousers and a light
blue sweater with flimsy sleeves. As she was too agitated just now, the sweater revealed half her
shoulder and when she panted, her chest also heaved along as she took in quick breaths.If I can’t forget him and if I don’t care about what he says to me, what am I doing right now?
Courtney had been deceiving herself for too long, so she thought that she was rational enough.
However, to an outsider—or even to Alexander himself—everything was clear as day.
