One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Don’t Mention Him to Me

When Courtney returned home at night, she wrapped an apron around her waist and cooked some noodles in the kitchen for Tina.

Then, Tina ran toward her with a smile and asked, “Mommy, are you in a good mood today?”

“What is it? Why are you asking?”

“I’m just asking!” Tina sniffed with her nose. “Mommy, did you receive flowers? I can smell the scent of it all over you.”

Upon hearing her daughter, Courtney immediately furrowed her brows.

 

However, Tina had not noticed it, so she continued to ask with expectation. “Is it Mr. Alexander? It smells like roses and is fragrant!”

The moment she spoke those words, a loud ‘clang’ was heard as Courtney immediately stabbed her knife on the cutting board and growled, “Do not mention his name to me!”

 

Instantly, Tina trembled as she felt a shiver down her neck. When she lifted her head, she saw Courtney’s gloomy face, causing her tiny heart to race while she quickly fled the scene. What happened? I thought sending her flowers would definitely win her over.

As the chopping sound of meat continued to ring in the kitchen, Tina hid in her bedroom and secretly made a call. “Grandpa Scott, Mommy seems to be angrier than before—no, she was merely unhappy before, but she’s really angry now!”

After a while of silence, he replied, “We’ll think of another way.”

In the dining room of the Duncans’ ancestral home, Scott looked gloomy as he hung up on the call. This makes no sense. I thought women are usually happy to receive flowers. Why is she angry instead?

Courtney seemed to have calmed down during dinner after chopping all those pork ribs, so she grabbed some ribs for Tina. “You should eat more. When I’m not at home during the day, you can heat up the ribs in the microwave yourself. You shouldn’t eat a lot of junk food.”
