A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 99

After dinner,

Wilson and Alina went to Lincoln's study to accompany him while he practised calligraphy.  

Alina helped him prepare the ink.  

Wilson spread out the calligraphy paper on the table.

Both of them worked together perfectly. 

In fact, Lincoln meant to test their chemistry. He wasn't actually interested in practising calligraphy. 

Seeing that Wilson and Alina could work together with such chemistry even though they had only known each other for less than a month, Lincoln was relieved. 

About twenty minutes to eight in the evening, Lincoln claimed that he felt a bit tired and needed to rest. He urged Wilson and Alina to take their leave.

He knew that Jayden from Lewis's family would come over and teach Alina self-defence at eight. It would be very painful and difficult for Alina to start flexibility training in her twenties. She would need the perseverance to continue on. 

Lincoln glanced at Alina a few more times. This young lady was really a good girl!

Everyone thought that Alina struck gold when she managed to marry into a rich and powerful family as an ordinary girl without any status. She was a sparrow who transformed into a phoenix.

But no one thought about the immense pressure she needed to endure to strip off her previous identity and step into her new life. She had to bear the growing pains to transform completely into a different person.  

Watching Wilson leave hand in hand with Alina, he nodded with satisfaction and sighed softly.

He muttered under his breath, "Child, you will have to work hard in the future!" 

At eight o'clock,

The golf course at the Scott Family villa was brightly lit.

Wilson sat at the table as he looked through the draft of the wedding plans sent by Simon.

He smiled slightly. 

Although many details were not ironed out yet, Simon's ideas were spot on. 

Simon was a thoughtful and meticulous worker. He knew what Wilson wanted. 

Simon had considered Alina's perspective regarding the location for the wedding, her wedding dress, and the accessories she would wear. Wilson was really satisfied with his choices. 

Not far away, Jayden was in black sports attire while Alina was dressed in white. 

After learning the theoretical aspect of self-defence a few days ago, Jayden had started to teach Alina some practical skills yesterday. Besides that, Alina had to increase her flexibility by stretching for twenty minutes a day. 

That was the most painful thing for Alina. 

At this moment, she was suffering from the pain of stretching her muscles. 

On the lawn, Alina and Jayden were stretching on a large padded mat in their socks. 

Alina stood on tiptoe and stretched her hands up towards the sky.

Jayden held a wooden ruler in his hand and circled around Alina. From time to time, he tapped the wooden ruler on Alina's legs and waist to correct her posture. 

"Tighten your abs! Your legs are still weak, stretch upwards using the strength from your legs!"

"Clench your fists tightly. Look, your arms are sagging. Straighten your arms!"

"Five more minutes. Don't slack off!"

"Tighten your abs!"

Wilson looked at Alina and smiled. She was frowning but she followed Jayden's instructions obediently.  

Jayden was definitely an expert in martial arts. Otherwise, the Lewis Group's martial arts centre wouldn't have such good business. 

Many ladies joined the Lewis Group's martial arts centre to maintain their good figure even though they could have gone for easier exercises like yoga. Jayden claimed that it was his charms and handsome appearance that attracted so many ladies to his classes.  

Twenty minutes later, Alina finally laid down on the mat. She had no strength left. 

Wilson set his computer aside and walked towards Alina with an affectionate smile on his face.  

He bent down and reached out to massage Alina's aching legs. "The training for these few days are crucial, so you have to bear with the pain a little longer." 

Jayden snorted. "It's still early in your training. You have just started training for less than two months, do you think you would not feel any pain? Do you think it is simple to master martial arts? Being experts in martial arts require skills and training for long periods of time!" 

"Jayden, shut up. No one would think you are mute if you don't talk!" Wilson said irritably. He just wanted to encourage Lina. That b*stard, Jayden liked to say things to scare Lina. 

A smirk appeared on Jayden's face. He rolled his eyes and said as he walked away, "Take a rest for ten minutes then we will continue with the basic movements." He liked seeing Wilson's look of distress when he pushed Alina to train harder. It was rare to see him looking like that.

"S*umbag, it hurts so much. Can I stop taking self-defence lessons?" After Jayden left, Alina complained coquettishly.

There was a saying, "Vows made in storm are forgotten in calms." 

After being kidnapped by York, Alina was determined to fight back. She swore in her heart that no matter how difficult it was, she had to learn how to protect herself. 

However, she had just started self-defence lessons for a few days, but now she wanted to give up from the pain. 

"Darling, persevere and learn the lessons well. Trust me, the pain is worst in the beginning. You will feel better and the pain will reduce after a few days." Since Jayden had said that Alina would feel pain for at least two months, Wilson knew he could not keep the truth from her. 

"It really hurts!" Alina whined like a spoiled child.

Wilson held her in his arms as he massaged her sore arms and feet. 

She melted into Wilson's warm embrace. "But it still hurts. My body is aching all over."  

"You did well, honey. I'll reward you with a kiss!" 

Wilson said as he showered Alina's face with kisses.  

Not far away, Jayden was taking a drink of water. When he saw this scene, he spat the water out in disgust. What was Wilson thinking? 

He, Jayden, was rumoured to be a womanizer who never refused the advances of any woman. He was said to be a playboy and a flirt. However, Wilson wasn't any better either. How could Wilson act so shamelessly as if he was invisible? 

Waving the ruler in his hand, he strode over and crossed his arms. "Hey, are the both of you done being lovey-dovey?"

Alina heard Jayden's voice and pushed Wilson away. Her face was flushed red and she avoided Jayden's gaze in embarrassment. 

Looking at Alina's reaction, Jayden couldn't help chuckling. 

"Has it been ten minutes?" Wilson glared at Jayden coldly, annoyed at his interruption. 

Jayden diverted his gaze with a smirk on his lips. His intention was to ruin the mood anyway. D*mn it, he had to give up his personal time every night to train Alina in self-defence. Did Wilson know how far he had to travel from the Lewis's house to the Scott Family villa? The commute was two and a half hours long! 

Alina's training continued.

In the course of his training, Jayden's playful personality was nowhere to be seen. He was serious and strict with every lesson he taught.

Alina was pushed to her limits. 

At this moment, she had to practise her kicks on Jayden. Her fists were tightly pressed against her waist as she balanced on one leg to kick him. 

She had to kick Jayden with all her strength, while Jayden blocked her attacks with his knee. 

It was easy to imagine the result of their lesson. 

Alina cried out in pain every time her foot came into contact with Jayden's knee. 

Could her strength be compared to Jayden's?

First of all, there was already a huge difference between the strength of men and women. Secondly, Jayden was a master in martial arts. 

Alina cried out in pain. 

As tears ran down her cheeks, she glanced in Wilson's direction, who was sitting at a table nearby to ask for help. 

Jayden raised his eyebrows and looked at the time. "You still haven't finished training, and no one can help you. You can only rely on yourself. Even Wilson won't help, his only concern is to make sure you learn well!"

Alina stared at Jayden ruefully. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue training. 

Finally, she managed to endure the gruelling training for more than an hour. 

Suddenly, Jayden received a call. "What? Did you say that there was new information about the Adams family's case? Where is it? I'll be right there!"

Wilson heard Jayden talking on the phone from a distance, and a smile appeared on his face. After all, Jayden was still wet behind the ears in comparison to him! 

Jayden hung up and said to Alina, "Today's practice is over. Let's continue tomorrow, see you!" 

After that, he left in a hurry. When he passed by Wilson, he explained hastily, "I owe you half an hour of Alina's lessons today. I'll make up for it tomorrow!"

When Alina heard these words, she immediately sat down on the mat in despair. Did Jayden mean that since the training for today was just one and a half hours, so tomorrow's training would be two and a half hours? Good heavens, she was about to collapse. 

However, Wilson's words saved her from the brink of despair. 

Wilson shouted after Jayden, "It's your fault that you're leaving early. How could you use that extra time tomorrow to torture Lina? You don't have to make it up tomorrow, I'll just cut it off from your pay." 

"Whatever, up to you!" Jayden called from a distance as he was already out of sight. His fixation on solving the Adams family case was not only about the monetary compensation, but also a huge intellectual challenge for him to unravel its secrets! It was a complicated puzzle. 

Wilson got up and carried Alina in his arms.

He walked over to the table and said to Alina gently, "Lina, please help me pick up my laptop." 

Alina reached out and held the laptop in her arms. 

Wilson carried Alina back to her room and put her on the bed.

After that, he took the laptop from Alina and placed it in the study. Then, he went to the bathroom to run the bath. 

He sat on the bed beside Alina and massaged her legs attentively. "How is it? Did you feel better than yesterday?"

Alina shook her head in pain. "No! It hurts even more today!"

"Darling, you must persevere!"

"It's really painful! I'm aching all over!"

"Alright, I'll help you take a shower!"

Alina's face suddenly reddened. She lowered her head and protested softly, "No, you don't have to!"

"Sure, go and take a bath. I've run the water for you." Knowing that Alina was shy, Wilson decided not to force her. There were some steps to intimacy that needed to be done step by step. Like him, she was a person who had been hurt and needed to open her heart little by little.

Alina forgot about her aching body. She jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on her slippers, and ran to the bathroom. 

Looking at her fleeing hastily, Wilson chuckled.

He was pleased with their progress. Alina was much more relaxed around him recently. She was willing to reveal her vulnerable and womanly side to him.

Alina was comfortable enough to act coquettishly around him and accept his help. She would share memorable events of her day, regardless of whether they are good or bad.  

She was also slowly getting used to holding hands, hugging, and kissing.

It would be even better if they could be more intimate.

Thinking of this, Wilson's eyes glinted brightly.

Tonight, he must find a way to sleep on the bed. The sofa was too uncomfortable. 

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. He stood up and walked to the study.

There were still some things that he had to deal with. Lucas and his family had tried their best to lower the prices of Scott Group's shares and bought in with all their funds that were available. How could he let them down? 

He would crush them with the power of the stock market by forcing them to sell the shares at a bloody loss. He would show them that the stock market was a cruel and brutal place.  

An hour later, Wilson walked out of the study. Alina was already sleeping under the covers. 

With a smile, his eyes were gentle as he fixed his gaze on her. 

Then, he entered the bathroom to wash up. Soon, there was the sound of running water.

Since they moved into the Scott Family villa, Alina slept on the bed while Wilson slept on the sofa. 

However, Wilson hoped for a breakthrough in their relationship today.  

It was in men's nature to express their love through physical intimacy. 

After a while, Alina woke up when she felt the bed move slightly. The other side of the bed seemed to have sunk in. She turned her head in surprise and met Wilson's affectionate gaze.

Her heart pounded wildly.
