A Crazy One-night Stand

Chapter 38: Wilson’s Lie

Alina gazed at Sophie with her clear eyes and smiled. "No, I'm working under the Adams Family!"

"Adams Family? What's your job scope, Miss Alina?" Sophie probed further. It was careless of her. She

should have sent someone to investigate the background of her own son's future wife. Now, she would

have to question her.

Alina continued, "I'm a landscape designer!"

"Landscape design? Don't you just plant flowers?" Sophie's tone was dripping with disdain.

Upon hearing Sophie's words, George and his family smiled gloatingly.

Lucas's and Colton's girlfriends even covered their mouths and giggled with mirth.

Mr. Lincoln frowned and silenced everyone. "It's dinnertime, don't ask so many questions!"

"Dad, I'm just concerned about Miss Alina!" Sophie retorted, but she obeyed Lincoln and refrained from

asking any more questions.

Alina pursed her lips and continued to eat.

Wilson looked slightly displeased.

Everyone stopped talking. Only the sounds of cutlery and clinking glasses were heard.

After dinner, Lincoln stood up first. Alina looked up and she noticed that he was wearing a vintage suit

and holding onto a cane. "Alina, come to my study after you have finished your dinner!" Lincoln said as

he walked out of the dining hall.

"Alright." Alina nodded in agreement.

Sophie frowned. She had no idea what the old man was up to.

The members of George's family exchanged looks. Why did Lincoln ask to see Alina privately? After

all, Caitlin and Selma had frequently visited the Scott Family villa, while Lincoln had never requested to

meet them privately.

Alina quickly finished her meal and put down her cutlery. As she turned to Wilson to ask where was

Lincoln's study room, Wilson spoke up. "Have you finished eating?"

"Yes." Alina nodded and stood up.

Wilson immediately stood up as well. "I'll walk you to Grandfather's study, after that I'll show you my

bedroom!"

"Alright!" Alina couldn't help but blush.

Under everyone's gaze, the two walked out of the dining hall. Outside, the villa's landscape was

mesmerizing as golden chrysanthemum flowers bloomed gorgeously. However, Alina felt a little

perplexed after meeting Wilson's family.

She smiled shyly and asked Wilson, "Did you feel ashamed of me?"

"No, you did well!" Wilson smiled faintly.

"Do we really have to get married?" Alina said, laughingly.

Wilson became serious and stared at her. "Are you regretting it now?"

Nodding her head, Alina replied, "A little. I've assumed that you come from a decent family, but I've

never thought that you would be filthy rich. If we really get married, it would be a huge pressure on me

to play the role of your wife. My peaceful life may be affected. That kind of life isn't what I want."

Compared to having a future mother-in-law who will ridicule her or put her down, it was better to not get

married. Anyways, she was already used to her mother's nagging.

Wilson let out a laugh, "I will make your life very peaceful. You can work like before, and live like

before."

He lied to Alina without missing a beat. Wilson felt that he had understood what Alina was like. Once

they registered for marriage, she would join the Scott Family on her own initiative. He could just go with

the flow when it comes to that. This naive girl would never know about his lie.

Alina raised her brows. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, we don't have to live here after getting the marriage certificate. We will continue living in my

apartment. We will live life separately in our own space without disturbing each other. Of course, if you All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

don't mind, we can have a meal and chat while watching TV now and then."

Wilson easily described marriage life like a fantasy. It was music to Alina's ears.

What Alina longed for was a simple and harmonious life. Even if there was no romantic love between

them, she hoped that they could get along with each other like friends or families without resentment.

Alina frowned and said doubtfully, "Can I really not live here? I mean, never ever live here!"

"Of course. I haven't lived here for eight years. I just occasionally come here for a meal!"

She had no reason to doubt his words. Alina nodded as Wilson said, "We've arrived at Grandfather's

study. Go in!"
