A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 86

"Yes? What is it?" Alina raised her head.

She saw Wilson's shining eyes looking at her affectionately.

She couldn't help blushing.

The next thing she knew, Wilson lifted up her chin and sealed her lips with his.  

The puzzle piece between her fingers fell to the floor. Wilson wrapped her in his arms as they made out on the warm carpet. The incomplete puzzle was forgotten in that passionate moment. 

To Alina, the kiss felt like it lasted for a century. 

Her face was burning up with desire and embarrassment. 

Wilson's gaze was fixed on her, his eyes looking at her with adoration. 

He confessed to her, "Lina, I really like you!"

Wilson's sincere confession made Alina's heart melt. 

Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest from panic and nervousness.

Alina wanted to reply, "S*umbag, I like you too." But she didn't have the courage. She was afraid that if she admitted it out loud, they could never go back to what they were before.

Wilson reached out and pinched her cheek gently. With a smile, he said, "You silly girl, I feel like I'm into you more and more every single day. What should I do about it?"

Alina lowered her head nervously and bit her lower lip to prevent herself from blurting out her true feelings. 

"Alright, you can continue your puzzle. It doesn't matter if we arrive there a little later tomorrow." Wilson pinched her cheek again lovingly.

With obvious relief, she freed herself from Wilson's arms and left immediately to complete the jigsaw puzzle.  

Wilson checked on Alina from time to time. Every time he looked at her, he fell for her even more. He was infatuated with the feeling of love. Wilson couldn't stop himself from smiling. His gaze, which was usually cold and distant, became as soft as silk. 

He went through the documents in his hands efficiently. Wilson even turned a blind eye to a few unreasonable terms in some of the contracts.

This was unprecedented.

In the business world, Wilson was described as an alpha wolf. Everyone knew that he was bloodthirsty, cold, and ruthless. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of him would be ostracized and shunned by the industry.

However, this time, he happily glossed over the outrageous terms laid out in the contracts.

After Wilson was finished, he put the pile of documents down on the table. He got up, walked over to Alina, and squatted down beside her. "Lina, little did you know that many people in Jameson City would have the utmost gratitude for you. Without you, they could only eat sh*t."

Take for example, Walter Williams! Originally, Wilson intended to make the Williams Group go bankrupt, and then he would expose Walter's crime of bribing government officials to put him in prison.  

But now he changed his mind. If Walter hadn't drugged him, he wouldn't have had the chance to know Lina. 

If he didn't get to know Alina, then he would still be as before, working like an emotionless machine. After a day of hard work, he would return to the cold apartment alone, torturing himself with the past memories, and blaming himself for what had happened. 

Therefore, Wilson changed his mind.  He decided to let Walter off and invest in the Williams Group so that they could survive. However, he would only invest 500 million dollars. As for the other 500 million, he would use that money to hold a grand wedding for Lina. 

As he thought of this, he turned to Alina and queried, "Lina, what do you think about having our wedding in March, next year?" 

"What, so fast?" Alina couldn't understand what Wilson meant when he said that many people would be grateful to her. While she was still pondering about it, Wilson had changed the topic to the wedding date. She couldn't keep up with his questions. 

Wilson was still smiling. He reached out and pinched Alina's cheek again. "That's not fast at all. We're husband and wife now. I want to hold our wedding earlier so that I can give you the best of everything as soon as possible." 

Alina felt touched. After thinking for a bit, she asked, "Won't our wedding really affect your status in the family?"

Wilson's heart was moved by her words. Alina obviously got the short end of the stick, but she always put him first and considered his position. Having a wife like Alina, he had nothing else to wish for in life. 

He pulled her into his arms. Wilson stroked her hair gently and whispered into her ears, "Don't be silly, your husband is Wilson Scott.  You must believe that no matter what happens, my position in the Scott Family will not be shaken. No one can take away the president's position from me." 

"Yes," Alina nodded and said softly, "In that case, you can arrange it."

As for her, she had a lot of things to achieve as well. Alina was determined to work hard and not become a burden to Wilson. 

Wilson was in a good mood after getting a positive response from Alina.

He kissed Alina's forehead again and said to her, "Good girl, continue solving your puzzle then. I'll put away the documents in the study and come down to accompany you in a while."

After that, he picked up the pile of documents on the table and went upstairs.

After putting the documents on a desk, he made a phone call to Simon. Disregarding the fact that it was extremely early in the morning, he instructed Simon breezily, "Simon, come and pick up the documents in the morning. Transfer an investment of 500 million dollars to Williams Group tomorrow. In addition, warn Walter that Williams Group already has a bad reputation overseas. I wasn't going to invest in the first place, however, Lina is interested in the clothing division of Williams Group. Therefore, these 500 million dollars can only be used by the Williams Group's clothing division. Furthermore, the 20% return on investment must be fully repaid." 

Simon didn't know what to say. 

Recently, Mr. Wilson had been behaving unpredictably!

A big smile appeared on Simon's lips. Anyway, it was for the better! 

Simon had been working under Wilson for eight years and he knew very well the mind-numbing routine that Wilson went through for the last three years. Every day, Wilson threw himself into his work. He strived for perfection in everything and treated others coldly. 

Wilson would never show mercy to people who attempted to hurt him or those who took advantage of the Scott Group.

Surprisingly, he gave Walter another chance. This was the first time such a thing had happened. 

Wilson continued, "I'm going to hold a wedding in March next year, so I'll leave everything to you. With a budget of 500 million dollars, everything needs to be the best."

Simon remained speechless.

At this moment, he had a bewildered expression on his face. 

A 500 million dollar budget for his wedding? 

Although Simon and Wilson were used to moving around large sums of money, amounting to the hundreds of millions. However, it was too extravagant to spend 500 million dollars on just a wedding.

Although Simon thought that it was excessively luxurious, he swallowed nervously and agreed. Wilson had already hung up.

The sound of footsteps came down the stairs. 

Alina looked up with a smile and saw Wilson coming downstairs.

Wilson approached her and squatted down. He pointed to the jigsaw puzzle and said, "Have you already finished so much?" 

Alina rolled her eyes. "That's a lot? I have not even completed 5% of the puzzle yet!" 

Wilson smiled. "You have already done a lot. It doesn't matter, take your time. At worst, we will just go back for dinner tomorrow."  

She immediately rejected Wilson's idea. "No, I have to complete this jigsaw puzzle before 10 o'clock in the morning so that we can attend your grandfather's birthday celebration at noon!"  

"So, you should accept my help!" After saying this, a sly smile appeared in Wilson's eyes.

Alina didn't notice Wilson's mischievous plan at all. She waved her hands and refused vehemently, "No, I can do this. This is out of my sincerity for Grandfather."  

The next moment, Wilson gently lifted up her chin and gave her a kiss that took her breath away. 

Wilson's plan was to distract Alina's attention away from the jigsaw puzzle. Thus, she would have to accept his help and make up for the lost time. He really couldn't bear to see her take all night to complete the jigsaw puzzle. It pained him to see her doing this alone!

...

After finally having a chance to come up for air, Alina said impatiently, "Scumbag, let go of me. At this rate, I won't be able to complete the puzzle tomorrow." 

"Don't worry, I'll make up for the delay!" Wilson had already sat down and started looking for puzzle pieces of the same colour.  

"No, I should do this on my own to show my sincerity," Alina refused to let Wilson help her. 

Wilson insisted, "Grandfather doesn't belong to you alone, he is my grandfather too. This would be our blessing to him as a couple." 

"But this is my gift for Grandfather!" She was caught in a dilemma.

"This is a gift from us as husband and wife. If you want to give a gift by yourself, your gift is here." Wilson smiled mysteriously and took out a box from his pocket.

He opened the box and there was a small paperweight made of jade inside.

He continued, "This jade piece signifies longevity and good health. It costs forty-five thousand dollars, which is within your budget. If you insist on paying for it yourself, you can give me the money later, or put it on your tab. We will work together on this puzzle of the Pines and Cranes for Grandfather. Each puzzle piece that we put together represents our blessing. In my opinion, Grandfather would hope that I have a part in this gift as well. What do you think?"

Wilson had thought of everything and presented his argument so eloquently! Alina had no words to defend herself. 

"Come on, silly! We should focus on the jigsaw puzzle now," Wilson urged with a smile. His hands moved quickly as he put the pieces of the puzzle together deftly. 

Alina cried out in surprise, "Wow, Wilson, so you're good at solving jigsaw puzzles?"

Wilson raised his eyebrows proudly. "No, it's my first time doing this!" 

"I don't believe it!" Alina pouted.

"But that's the truth!" Wilson raised his eyebrows again.

Her look of admiration and amazement made Wilson feel like he was at the top of the world. His mood improved considerably.  

Every half an hour, Wilson would forcibly get Alina to stand up and walk around. While she was exercising, he would put the puzzle pieces in place as quickly as he could.  

This showed that everyone was equal. If someone was weak in some aspects, he or she would be talented in other areas. 

Wilson was worried that Alina would be concerned about the unfinished puzzle and not stretch her limbs enough. 

Wilson blinked his eyes and smiled when he got an idea. He turned to Alina and shouted, "Darling, please pour me a cup of tea."

The affectionate gesture made Alina blush. She chided herself inwardly, "Stop being pretentious. I am already his wife, so it's normal to address each other affectionately. Besides, we already have our marriage certificates."

With a tender feeling in her heart, Alina quickly went to fetch Wilson a cup of tea willingly. She brought it to him and said in a gentle voice, "Here you go!"

"Thank you, darling!" Wilson looked up and smiled at her. Then. he added shamelessly, "I'm too busy to take a sip, can you help me?" 

Aline blushed beet red. Her tender feelings towards Wilson grew and overflowed in her heart. She held the cup, squatted down beside Wilson, and put the cup to his lips.

"It's delicious!" Wilson smacked his lips and said with a smile, "Especially when it's my wife who had prepared it!" 

Alina's reddish cheeks grew hot as she felt very shy. 

She thought of something and laughed secretly. If Scumbag acted so shamelessly in front of others, everyone would have laughed their heads off at the incredulous scene. 

Who could have imagined that Scumbag would have such a side? It must be hard for others to accept! However, Alina found that she preferred this side of Wilson! Being affectionate like this was much better than his usual cold and distant expression.

After he drank the tea, Wilson noticed Alina placing the cup on the table. He called out again, "Darling, I would like to have an apple." 

He deliberately made many requests so that Alina could rest and walk around more. She was prone to getting cramps if she sat still for a long time.
