A Crazy One-night Stand

Alina realized that the sudden increase in calls and attention must be because of Wilson's public announcement of their marriage.  

Although she told Amber on the phone that it wasn't her, there should be other classmates who wanted to see for themselves. This way, they could be sure that Alina wasn't truly Wilson's wife. They were just jealous of her good fortune. Once they saw they it wasn't Alina and she was living a hard life, they would be relieved. It was really ridiculous of them. 

She stopped thinking about it and continued to watch TV.

Not long after, Wilson came and asked her to get ready as they were going out to have lunch. 

Alina stared at Wilson and thought of her classmates' enthusiasm and jealousy on the phone just now. She smiled knowingly to herself.

"What's wrong?" Wilson asked with a smile as he helped her get up carefully.

She shook her head with a chuckle. "I can't imagine how they would react if you announced our divorce one day."

Wilson couldn't help frowning. Looking at Alina, he asked seriously, "Who are they?"

Alina put on her slippers and got out of bed. As she opened the wardrobe to choose her outfit, she said, "People whom I know and people who know about me."  

They could only be considered acquaintances. After all, Alina didn't have much to do with her classmates in university.

While she was in a relationship with Ken at university, Alina thought that she had a group of close friends, other than Rosie. 

After breaking up with Ken, only Rosie was there for her. Since then, she understood what a real friend was.

Some people said that a break-up could help people grow up and mature quickly. She had a deep and personal understanding of this statement. However, growth like this was too painful!

"Don't entertain such thoughts. As I said, we will never divorce. I will take good care of you and your future! Hurry up and get changed, I'm waiting for you outside!" Wilson said and turned to leave the room.

Alina paused in her tracks, her hand still holding some clothes. She stared at Wilson's back, who was walking away. She was touched by his promise to care for her, but she couldn't help but think about a question. If she continued to stay with him like this, would she really not fall in love with Wilson? She didn't know. She could only try to not fall in love with him.

How could a heart that has been broken and scarred, dare to love again so easily? 

...

Wilson forced Alina to stay at home and rest after her fever. He didn't allow her to go to work and asked Simon to apply for leave. 

Alina couldn't resist Wilson, so she had to give in.

Furthermore, she really wanted to choose a gift carefully for Wilson's grandfather. If she were to go to work, she wouldn't have the time. 

During the two days when Alina was resting at Wilson's apartment, Wilson did not go to the office as well. He had Simon bring over the documents he needed to the apartment.
