A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 63

"Mr. Ken, what a coincidence!" Wilson's usual cold expression appeared on his face. 

Scorn flashed in his eyes as Wilson smirked at Ken. This man before him was foolish. Instead of Alina, he chose the woman standing next to him. After just a few encounters, he knew what she was probably like, a hypocritical, greedy, and jealous woman. 

If she was the daughter of a rich and powerful family, it would be understandable. Wealthy families tend to marry within their own circles to strengthen their family's status. However, this woman had no background, and she was just a third-rate actress. Was Ken blind?

"Mr. Wilson!" Ken greeted Wilson politely.

Everyone knew that the Scott Family was the most powerful family in Jameson City. Although the Anderson Family was renowned in Ritz City, Ken would still need to pander to Wilson now that he was in Jameson City. Therefore, no matter how unwilling or unhappy he was, Ken had to be on good terms with Wilson on the surface. 

Anne, on the other hand, had no sense of the situation. Perhaps it was because Ken had finally agreed with his mother and brought Anne to register their marriage. She was on cloud nine. People tend to forget themselves when their heads were in the clouds.

Anne looked at Alina with disdain and raised her nose into the air. She mocked Alina triumphantly, "What, you came for a divorce?"

Anne thought that they came to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce. After all, the only reason to be here was to either register for marriage or get a divorce. Weren't they married a long time ago? Obviously, they were here to get a divorce today. 

"Shut up!" Ken interrupted Anne.

Anne felt hurt, but she had no choice but to shut up.

Wilson glanced at Anne coldly.

Ken immediately apologized profusely. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson. We are going in, have a good day." 

Anne wrapped her arms around Ken's and said coquettishly, "Ken, let's hurry up. Mom is waiting us for dinner at home."  

She tried incessantly to flaunt her relationship with Ken in front of Alina.

Alina clenched her fists tightly in anger. Her nails dug into her flesh and blood flowed out. However, she didn't feel any pain.

The overwhelming ache in her heart overpowered the pain from her physical wounds. 

She had convinced herself to not care about Ken anymore. She knew that he would get married to Anne, didn't she? Despite all that, Alina couldn't help herself. The burden weighing on her chest made her gasp for air, threatening to bury her alive.

Alina had always wanted to ask him, why did he betray their love. But logic told her not to humiliate herself by probing further. 

The surroundings spun around her. She gritted her teeth and gripped Wilson's hand in hers. She looked up lovingly at him and said in a sweet voice, "Wilson, aren't we going to pick our rings? Let's go!"

Wilson was very cooperative. He pulled Alina into his arms and kissed her on the forehead. He replied in a firm voice so that everyone could hear it, "We have plenty of time to do that. We have made a promise to each other, that we would never divorce!" 

When Anne heard this, her eyes were filled with jealousy.

Ken was thunderstruck when he heard Wilson's declaration of love. After that, his eyes narrowed as he seethed with rage. "You will never divorce? Since you've destroyed my happiness, I will not allow you to be happy either! Just wait and see, Alina!" 

Wilson held Alina's hand naturally and got in the car. Afterwards, Wilson's custom black car drove past the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau. 

In the car, Alina was in low spirits.

Wilson tried to comfort her. "At least the person you love is still alive, just give him your blessings!"

"Alright." Alina nodded and thanked him. "Thank you, Scumbag!"

Each time, he would appear in the nick of time and save her from embarrassment. 

"You're welcome. Since we're married now, we can at least get along with each other like friends in the future."

"Yes." Alina nodded.

She turned away to look out of the window. The car raced past rows of trees as their shadows were cast on the road.

The past should be left in the past. Wilson was right. At least Ken was still alive, she could still give him her blessing. She did not do anything wrong, why couldn't she move on?
