One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 191

Chapter 191 Cruel and Unscrupulous

The breakup scene was cruel. Courtney knew she wasn’t that thick-skinned to watch the drama from the front row. Banking on her flexibility, she leaped out from the pavilion and escaped.

Before she left, the last thing she heard was spoken by Gale. He was a playboy that every woman in the city considered a pig. Yet, when he acted sad, even her heart pinched. He said, “Cameron Miller, let’s pretend that nothing happened in the past two days. We… can still go back to how we were before, right?”

This was something out of Courtney’s expectation. Gale is willing to give in. He’s even willing to return to square one and pretend like the marriage proposal and Cameron’s rejection never existed?

“No way. I’ve had enough, Gale,” answered Cameron.

So it seemed that gender really had nothing to do with being a scumbag.

The day was getting darker. Courtney drove Cameron back to her fashion studio.

“Actually, I’m fine. You didn’t have to send me all the way back.”

“Who cares if you’re fine.” Courtney threw Cameron a disgusted look. “I’m just craving for the roasted duck neck next to your studio.”

“Then, I’ll treat you.”

 

“Of course, you’re going to buy me that roasted duck neck. How dare you let a loafer like me pay for the food?”

Since leaving the hospital, Cameron had been down in the dumps. Afraid that she would bottle her feelings up and get herself sick, Courtney tried to talk to her like she was insulting her.

Under normal circumstances, Cameron would have flown into a rage and argued with her. But now, she was only leaning against the passenger seat in a sickly manner. After a moment, she sighed. “What a pity.”
