One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 102

Chapter 102 I Have a Group Picture

After playing a few rounds of cards, Courtney’s ‘comrade’, who sat across from her, quickly understood what she meant. “A two.”

Courtney’s gaze brightened as she was eager to make a move with the only card she had in her hand.

A deep and rumbling voice spoke, “King.” Alexander appeared calm when he looked at her. “It’s your turn.”

While suppressing the uneasy feeling that she had, she smiled before answering tersely, “No.” He used a King to suppress a two; he obviously knows the cards I’m playing! He is doing this deliberately!

Later, the situation continued for a few rounds and she was unable to play a single card despite having a good hand—as a result of him intercepting all the cards that she had.

 

“Yay! We won again! Sir, you are awesome. The young woman, who partnered with Alexander, looked about 18 to 19 years old and she seemed like a university student. She sounded especially eager while addressing him as ‘Sir’. On the other hand, although the other young woman was partnered with Courtney, the former swiftly shifted her focus on him.

In fact, they were only serious during the first game because in the succeeding rounds, the two young women took turns to learn more about his age and work. Both of them were beating around the bush to invade his privacy by acting cute.

 

Courtney was rendered speechless as she watched the girls after a few rounds. Then, she tossed her cards while announcing, “Forget it; I’m not playing anymore.”

The two young women were more than happy to stop playing and they immediately surrounded Alexander to press him about further private matters. “Sir, you are already 31 years old. Are you married?”

Upon hearing that, Courtney felt her heart sinking and she felt upset. I am right here. Haven’t these two young women ever considered the possibility that I might be his girlfriend or wife? Are they deliberately ignoring me? Nevertheless, she could not help but pay attention to his response despite her frustration.

He leaned against the back of his seat before he calmly answered them, “My son is 5 years old this year.”

The two young women were stunned into silence when they heard that.
