A Crazy One-night Stand

Alina realized that Wilson took her words too seriously. She quickly explained, "No, I'm just giving you an idea!" It was just a suggestion. Why was Wilson so angry? It's really unreasonable of him. "I've told you before that I don't need any help from my wife. I also said that I could give you the simple and peaceful life that you want!" Wilson became angrier as he spoke.

Alina felt that her head was going to burst. Listening to the scumbag's words, was he still insisting on getting married? She was really speechless!

Both of them fell silent. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard in the car.

Wilson did not speak, Alina remained silent as well as she was afraid of provoking him.

A long while later, Wilson's voice broke the silence. "Say something!"

"What should I say?" Alina felt a headache coming again.

"Speak about what's on your mind!" Wilson still looked agitated.

Alina told Wilson honestly, "I haven't changed my mind. I still think that we shouldn't get married. After all, our lives are so different."

Alina's body suddenly fell back towards the car seat. It was due to inertia. Wilson slammed on the accelerator in anger and the car flew forward at high speed.

"Scumbag, you don't need to be so angry. If you really need to get married urgently, there are many eligible women willing to marry you. There is no need to be angry simply because I don't want you to take responsibility for me. It's my choice, just think of me as naive and gullible. Scumbag, are you listening to me?"

...

The car screeched to a halt at the roadside again. Wilson's expression was no longer as distraught as it was just now. He explained himself to Alina, "I'm not angry at you."

"Then why was your expression so dark? Did you know that you looked like you were about to eat me?"

"Did I scare you?" Wilson's expression softened further.

"I'm fine. I don't get scared that easily!" Alina teased him. She realized during the brief period they had spent together, she was the one who had to work hard and liven up the atmosphere.

In the past, she had thought that children born into wealth like Wilson would be spoilt. However, now she could understand why he developed a stoic personality. Perhaps it was because, since childhood, he had to live a life dictated by strict discipline.

"Did you want my position in the Scott Family to be strengthened?" Wilson's voice was gentle, his words were no longer as cold and domineering as it was just now.

"Of course! From what I know, your life is really tough. At any rate, it's not as wonderful as it seems on the surface! So I hope that your hard work will be rewarded," Alina said to Wilson sincerely.

Wilson suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. There was a saying, true friends were like diamonds, precious but rare. It was not easy to find someone in this world who could understand him and his worries. Every woman who tried to get close to him was on account of his position as the president of Scott Group. They aspired to be part of the Scott Family and to obtain the prestige it offers.

This woman was different. Alina could empathize with him and the problems that he was dealing with. She was not interested in his wealth and status, nor was she a gold digger. No wonder Grandfather treated her differently.

With Rosalie gone forever, it would be good to have a woman like Alina beside him. At the very least, he would not be as lonely as before!

Suddenly, Wilson did not want to let Alina go. He really wanted to get married to her as soon as possible.

Maybe he had been alone for too long. Wilson said earnestly, "Alina, marry me!"

Alina was shocked. "Scumbag, what are you saying?"

"Let's get married. As I promised, I will do my best to give you a simple life. Didn't you want to help me? Grandfather's recognition and favour on you can help strengthen my position in the Scott Family. I want to take responsibility for you and your future!"

Wilson reached out and held Alina's hand in his. He could feel the warmth of her skin through his fingertips.

"Really, you don't have to take responsibility for me!" Alina pulled back her hand.

With the lingering warmth in his empty palm, Wilson's expression became a little downcast. He didn't want to hear Alina's words of rejection anymore. He quickly started the car engine. "I'll send you to the hospital!"

The car drove straight to Lanthem Hospital.

After making sure Alina entered the hospital safely, Wilson took out a cigarette and lit it.0000
