Chapter 197

Chapter 197 You Can Have It Back! Who Cares, Anyway?

Alexander’s face sank, and he fiercely shook off her hand.

“What are you doing? You startled me!” Courtney shot him a discontented look.

“Didn’t you say that it’s over between us? Do people who have broken up still touch each other like that?” Alexander’s tone was cold and distant, but if she listened carefully, she could hear a hint of resentment in his voice.

The look on Courtney’s face was matter-of-fact. “How else was I supposed to unlock it? Can you stop fussing over everything?”

“You could’ve asked for the PIN.”

There’s more than one way to unlock a phone.

Courtney was speechless. Peeved, she turned off his phone, then said, “All right, tell me what’s the PIN.”

He paused for a second, then two words rang out in the car. “Your birthday.”

Courtney was shocked.

 

She admitted that both she and Alexander were considerably sensible people, so they weren’t exactly romantics when it came to relationships. She wasn’t even like the average girl who would look through her boyfriend’s phone and messages.

Personal space was a must.

Therefore, it was a surprise to find out that Alexander’s PIN was her birthday.

The car was silent, and she could hear the sounds of the waves lapping against the rocks, as well as the whistling of the mountain breeze. She was skeptical as she lowered her head and keyed in her birthday precisely.

A thought struck her all of a sudden. Her birthday this year was spent with Alexander, and after leaving the cemetery where they paid their respects to her mother, he had held her hand in front of Alicia, appearing absolutely certain and confident.

What did he tell Aunt Alicia that time?

She was doubtful, but the two of them had been so frightening that she dared not ask what they were talking about.
