“Courtney.” Alexander felt the corner of his lips twitching in anger as he gritted his teeth together. “Stop it now.” 

Courtney kept telling Alexander not to worry as she thought that he simply didn’t want to trouble her She only heard the fury in his voice after she pushed the swing forward a few times. “Stop it, Courtney.” he hissed 

“W-What’s wrong?” She quickly stopped pushing the swing. He then planted his feet on the ground to slow the swing down, his expensive leather shoes forming ‘brake marks’ on the sandpit beneath his feet as he dragged his shoes across the ground. He then turned to glare at Courtney. “Did I say that I wanted to ride on the swing?” 

“Well, I thought you might want to test it out for Jordan since you said that it didn’t look safe. You have to play with these childish rides when you’re spending time with your kid, anyway. I’m sure you’ve been on a swing with Jordan, right?” Courtney didn’t see the need to apologize for her acts as she didn’t think that she had done anything wrong. 

“That’s the reason you think I should be riding a swing here?” His gaze was burning with anger as he stared at Courtney, but she didn’t understand his rage.

I-I’ll leave now.” Courtney pretended to glance at her watch before she took a few steps back and turned to run away from him. 

The rage Alexander felt within him gradually dissipated as he watched the woman’s flustered manner of running away from him. He even felt an odd sense of fondness. Once he checked to see that there wasn’t anyone around him, he wrapped his long fingers around the ropes of the swing as hints of joy flickered across his gaze.
