One Night Surprise Novel

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.

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

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?”
