Chapter 21

Chapter 21 You Ask Too Much

Alexander subconsciously turned to look when he heard someone calling him ‘Mr. Alexander’. He froze for a moment when he saw the little girl waving at him, feeling that she looked rather familiar. As he stared blankly at the girl, Jordan had already let go of his hand and ran over. Hence, Alexander had no choice but to follow him.

Courtney was blocking her face when she felt a tight grip on her legs. As she looked down, she saw a pair of big eyes staring back at her—Jordan was hugging one of her legs with an ecstatic look on his face.

“We’ve met before, Mr. Alexander!” Tina stood by the table as her black, pearl-like eyes blinked at Alexander.

Alexander pondered for a moment and finally associated the young woman in front of him as the clumsy, little girl who had bumped into him at the airport. His expression softened as he realized who she was.

“How do you two know each other?” Courtney was still confused.

 

“Mr. Alexander was the one who gave me chocolates at the airport the other day, Mommy!” explained Tina as her eyes lit up. “What a coincidence! I can’t believe we’d bump into each other here. Mommy, do you know Mr. Alexander too?”

Courtney’s face stiffened. “He’s… the boss of my company.”

 

Alexander stood by the table and looked down in a condescending manner. “This is your daughter?”

“Yes.”

He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he heard Courtney’s answer. She’s actually married with a child? He quickly changed the subject and asked casually, “Has your hand recovered?”

Courtney bit her lip as she pulled Jordan out from under the table, using him as a shield. She replied shyly, “It’s not fully recovered, so it’s
