Chapter 122 To Put Up a Bold Front

Courtney’s body rose and fell in the water, as if all her senses embarked on a roller coaster ride with her body’s motion. When she reached another climax, her eyes widened while her pupils lost focus and her entire body uncontrollably trembled before slumping into Alexander’s embrace.

She had actually passed out.

When she was in a befuddled state, she seemed to feel like there was someone who dried her body in his arms before he placed her on a clean, comfortable, large bed and covered a blanket over her. As she was incredibly exhausted, she fell into a deep sleep with some wild dreams.

In her dreams, she arrived at the Melrose City Center, the most prosperous part of the city, and the sky was dyed red by the evening sunset. She was walking alone on the street when she suddenly felt lost and confused.

“Courtney…” A familiar voice rang by her ear. She raised her head and found that she was holding Alexander’s arm.

 

She was stunned and intended to retract her hands but he had caught hold of her before speaking in a gentle voice, “We are going home to have dinner. Let’s hurry up and pick up our two kids.”

“Going home?” She looked at him in puzzlement. “Whose home? We—”

 

“Have you lost your mind?” In her dream, Alexander’s eyes reflected his extreme love for her as he resignedly looked at her. “We have been married for over a year, yet you still ask me whose home we are returning to?”

“Are we already married?” Courtney followed him from behind in a daze.

“Daddy, Mommy.” Two children ran up toward them from a distance and threw themselves at her while their crisp laughter echoed by her ears.

Alexander picked Tina up and let her sit on his shoulder—the beautiful scene before her eyes eliminated some of her vague concerns.

The scene then turned to the Duncan Family’s gathering, where Scott was full of praise for her. “You really treat Jordan well like he’s your biological son. Alexander is lucky to have been able to marry you. I was right about you.”

Many unfamiliar faces appeared before her and agreed with his words. “Yes, yes, Alexander is a lucky man.”
