A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 85

Alina's eyes shone when she mentioned landscape design. Her eyes were filled with hope as she told her story. "When I was younger, I often had the same dream. In my dream, there was a large castle surrounded by rolling green fields, with bridges over running waters. On the grass, there were swings, slides, many other fun things. there were swings and other things in the playground. Later on, as I grew a bit older, I thought that if I could live in such a beautiful house in the future, it would be great. Once I learned that there was a degree for landscaping, I chose to study it without hesitation." 

"At that time, I never thought about the future prospects of my degree, I just wanted to pursue an illusory dream. When I tasted the cruelty of reality, it was too late to turn back. I bit the bullet and continued looking for jobs. Fortunately, I was lucky to get a job. There's a saying that luck favours the bold."

Wilson listened to Alina's words with gentle eyes and said, "It's good to have a dream that you will stick to. In the future, do whatever you want to do. Don't think about anything else. I'll take care of everything!"

Hearing Wilson's words, Alina was moved. She pressed her lips together and smiled sweetly at him. She loved his calm tone and reassuring words.

Alina nodded with a smile, "I will stick to my dream. It's a blessing to have my interests and work overlap anyway."

"That's right!" Wilson answered affectionately. They arrived at the entrance of his apartment. 

He entered the password at the entrance and asked thoughtfully, "Since you will be solving the jigsaw puzzle tonight, that means we are not going to bed, right?"

Alina replied, chuckling, "Yes, I'm just worried that I won't be able to complete the puzzle before your grandfather's birthday celebration. That would be terrible."  

Wilson said, "It doesn't matter. I will tell Grandfather of your kind intentions and prepare another gift for him."

Alina pouted. "No way, I'll definitely complete this by tonight." 

She didn't realize that she had begun to sound like a spoiled girl whenever she spoke to Wilson. 

To Wilson, her playful teasing was endearing and charming. He couldn't get enough of being around her. 

The two of them entered the private elevator. Wilson pulled Alina into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Let's hug for a bit before you start on the jigsaw puzzle. You'll be too busy later!"

In Wilson's embrace, Alina smiled to herself.

She wrapped her arms around Wilson's strong waist. Aline always felt inexplicably safe when he was with her. 

The elevator doors opened with a ding. She smiled and said, "Okay, time to let go. I need to start on the puzzle."  

"No, let's stay like this a little longer!" Wilson refused to let her go and pulled her closer, like a child clinging to his mother. 

"You're being silly!" Alina pouted playfully, her eyes smiling.

Wilson gently snuggled against her neck. Alina giggled and said, "Your hair's itchy, don't rub against me." 

Wilson buried his face into her neck, his eyes glazed with desire. 

The next moment, he kissed her lips.

The bags in his hand fell to the floor one after another as he let go of them. 

Wilson held onto her waist and lifted her up slightly so that he could deepen the kiss.  

Alina's cheeks were flushed red with shyness. Wilson's face was reflected in her wide, clear eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Looking at such a beautiful woman, Wilson couldn't control himself anymore. He devoured her lips hungrily. 

After making out for a long period of time, Wilson felt Alina's body go limp. He was so distressed that he immediately let go of her and patted her face. "Lina, wake up. Lina!" 

In the past, Wilson called her Lina to put on a facade as a loving couple in front of outsiders. Now, he called her Lina because he had fallen in love with her. Her name rolled off his tongue naturally. 

Wilson picked her up in his arms, got out of the elevator, and was about to bring her to her room on the second floor when Alina regained her consciousness. She stopped him shyly, "Scumbag, please put me down." 

"How are you feeling?" Wilson was a little worried.

"I'm fine!" Alina's face became even redder.

How could she faint from lack of air just because of a kiss? How embarrassing!

"Really?" Wilson was still concerned. 

"I'm really fine," Alina insisted. 

"Okay then!" Wilson gently put her down and went into the elevator. He bent down and picked up the two bags from the floor.

Although he hadn't known Alina for too long, he seemed to understand her very well.

Wilson knew that if he didn't let her complete her jigsaw puzzle tonight, she wouldn't be happy.  

He didn't want to do anything that upset her.

Her mood was far more important than her physical body.

Holding the two bags, Wilson glanced around the living room and said to Alina, "Why don't you complete your puzzle on the carpet in the living room? That area is warm and you will have sufficient room."  

"Okay." Alina nodded and reached out to take the bag from Wilson. "I'll try my best to complete his puzzle by tonight, and..." 

Before she could finish her sentence, Wilson added, "Don't worry about mine. You can take your time to complete my puzzle after you recover and have more free time." 

Alina looked up at Wilson and smiled at him.

How could she not be moved by such a thoughtful man who understood her inside out even before she said anything?

Wilson continued, "You can start with your project now. I'm going out for a bit!"

"Alright!" Alina nodded. She placed the Pines and Cranes jigsaw puzzle on a table and poured out pieces of the puzzle. After that, she deftly separated the pieces by colour and placed them into piles, one after another. 

More than an hour later, Wilson came back with two big bags in his hands.

Alina looked up from the puzzle and greeted him with a smile. "You're back?"

"Yes." Wilson had a loving expression on his face. He raised his eyebrows. "I only know that you like orange juice, but I don't know what fruits you like to eat. So I bought some of everything that looked fresh. You can choose what you prefer and I'll cut it up for you. I bought some oranges as well. I don't know how to prepare orange juice from the fruit, but I can peel the oranges for you. I hope you're okay with it."

Alina was so touched that she almost wanted to cry again.

Wilson was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had always been taken care of by others. However, a young master like him actually went out to buy fruit for her in person. At this moment, he had an apologetic look on his face because he did not know how to prepare orange juice. How could she not be moved by his attentiveness?

She said with a smile, "I like all kinds of fruits except for durian!"

Wilson smiled and looked very happy. "That's great. Coincidentally, I didn't buy any."

After saying that, he seemed very proud of himself. 

Alina's heart skipped a beat. She smiled to herself and continued solving her puzzle. 

She really wished that time would stop right now. If so, her life would always be filled with happiness!

Wilson put the fruits into the refrigerator and walked out of the kitchen. When Wilson passed through the hall, he glanced at Alina, who was concentrating on the puzzle, and he smiled involuntarily. 

Then, he went up to the second floor and took a pile of documents. After that, he went downstairs and sat down on the sofa.

From the seat he was sitting in, he could keep an eye on Alina while she completed the puzzle whenever he looked up. 

He couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The living room was very quiet. From time to time, the sound of puzzle pieces being scattered around and flipping documents was heard.

Wilson carefully looked through his documents one by one. Once in a while, he would look up and check on Alina. Every time he caught sight of her, a smile would appear on his face.

After more than two hours, Alina took a break and stretched her back. Just as she was about to stand up, she realized that her legs had gone to sleep. She quickly reached out and massaged her numb legs. 

Seeing this, Wilson immediately put down the documents in his hand. He walked over to Alina and squatted in front of her. Wilson helped to massage her legs and asked in concern, "Do you have a cramp?" 

"Yes." Alina nodded.

Wilson's movements were slow and gentle. From time to time, he would check the expression on Alina's face. When he saw her frown, he would pause in case the pressure from his hands hurt her. 

Alina smiled sweetly and teased him, "What great service! With a handsome man like you massaging me, I'm even willing to be crippled!"

"Stop that!" Wilson's expression changed immediately. "Don't talk nonsense!" 

"Alright, alright. I'm just kidding!"

"Don't make such a joke. I don't want you to be hurt!" Wilson told her seriously. He was very sensitive regarding words related to physical injuries.

"Got it." Alina's eyes shone with happiness. Sweetness filled her heart as if she had just eaten a jar of honey. 

"How is it? Are you still numb?" Wilson asked worriedly as he massaged her calves gently.

"Yes, a little!" Alina pouted.

She naturally acted in a spoiled manner without any thought. 

When a woman had fully opened her heart to a man, she would naturally want to rely on him, even if she was reserved and independent before this. 

Wilson advised her while he continued massaging her legs. "Don't sit for such a long time, you should get up and walk around after a while. If your legs go to sleep, you will feel very uncomfortable." 

"Alright." Alina nodded with a smile. How long had it been since someone cared about her like this?

It had been such a long time that she assumed no one else other than Ken would love and care for her. 

She couldn't help staring at Wilson. Would they have a successful relationship?

Looking at his serious expression and the sincerity in his eyes, her heart beat faster in anticipation. She wanted to work hard so that she could stand next to him with pride.

Although she might not be able to achieve it even though she tried with all her might, at least she would be closer to his level! 

"Alright, my legs are no longer numb. I'll get some water," Alina said as she stood up.

Wilson immediately helped her up and poured a cup of tea for her. "I'm worried that you will feel sleepy later, so I made some hot tea."

"Thank you!" Alina accepted the cup of tea. She held the steaming cup carefully, warming her hands. 

"Don't be silly, you don't have to thank me. Everything I did for you, I'm doing this out of my own will," Wilson replied.  

Alina remained silent, but her heart was in a complete mess.

She must have done a lot of good in her past life, which was why she had the fortune to meet Scumbag in this life.

After drinking the tea, she continued solving the jigsaw puzzle. 

Wilson also continued working on his documents. 

After half an hour, he got up.

Alina looked up and saw him walking towards the kitchen. After a while, he came out of the kitchen with a fruit knife and an orange.

He waved the orange in his hand and laughed. "Please bear with me!"

"How could I complain? An orange prepared by yours truly is simply the most expensive orange in the world!" Alina teased him.

Wilson's eyes lit up. "The most expensive orange?"

"Of course!" Alina replied with a smile. Then, she looked down and continued putting the puzzle pieces together. 

However, Wilson had already come close and squatted in front of her. His eyes were shining expectantly. "Since it's such an expensive orange, I want some compensation!"
