One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander)

Chapter 48

Once he was out of the cafe, Benjamin looked up at the sky as he pressed his hand against his brow bone. The weather was beautiful, and it was great for a chance encounter.

"Let's drop by the supermarket on our way back and get some groceries. Is hot pot tonight fine with you?" Courtney asked Alexander as they sat in the car after picking up the children.

"Sure."

Courtney nodded. Right before they passed the traffic light, she reminded the butler to take a right turn. "Go to the supermarket over there."

The pair led their children by the hand around the supermarket. They had originally planned on browsing just the fresh produce section, but Tina was not easily satisfied by that as she immediately dragged Jordan over to the snacks section.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I'll watch over them." Alexander turned and followed the children.

Exasperated, Courtney could only push her trolley while she shopped for groceries.

Meanwhile, Alexander followed the children after he got another trolley.

Tina experimentally grabbed a box of chocolates before looking at Alexander inquisitively. As her large, crystalline eyes blinked at him, it made her look heartwarmingly adorable. "Mommy doesn't usually let me have too many chocolates. Both Jordan and I love to eat this particular brand of chocolates. They actually have it here!"

Alexander reached out and took one of each flavor. "Let's just buy them."

This was the legendary move that rich people usually made!

Tina's eyes gleamed as she hopped and whooped on the spot.

"You're the best, Mr. Alexander!"

Meanwhile, Jordan looked at him with a grin while pointing ahead. There were still more snacks to buy.

By the time the children were done with their shopping spree, their cart was already piled high with snacks when they met with Courtney at the cashier. Courtney's eyes widened.

"Oh God, what did you guys get? How are you going to be able to finish this? Tina, you..".

"It wasn't my idea." Tina immediately waved her hands in denial.

"Who else can it be, if not you?" Courtney pinched her forehead. "Jordan's not like you. He doesn't eat snacks as often."

With that, she reached a hand out and pretended to pull Tina's ear, scaring the little girl into hiding behind Alexander's legs while she screamed, "Save me, Mr. Alexander!" Alexander shielded Tina, slightly exasperated by her antics. His deep voice stopped Courtney in her tracks

"I was the one who wanted to buy those snacks."
