After lunch,
both of them went shopping hand in hand.
Originally, Alina intended to only buy two sets of clothes, but Wilson was in a shopping mood. Whenever he saw clothes that looked good, he had Alina try them on and insisted on buying them for her.
Unable to refuse, Alina could only nod helplessly.
Wilson rushed to pay for her.
Alina was unwilling, but Wilson was as stubborn as a mule.
He was displeased when Alina didn't want to spend his money.
He said with a poker face, "A man would want nothing better than to spend his hard-earned money on the woman he loves!"
Hearing his declaration, Alina felt that she was being pretentious if she continued to resist his kind gesture.
Recalling what happened last night, when the two of them hugged each other to sleep, she lowered her head with flushed cheeks and said coquettishly, "All right, I got it. I'll spend your money in the future."
Alina had always held herself responsible for her choices in life and to be financially independent. However, she was not a feminist. She didn't want to spend Wilson's money because initially there was no love in their marriage. She didn't want to owe him anything.
But now, they were in love with each other, weren't they?
There was no need to be so calculative with each other.
Hearing that Alina agreed to spend his money, a smile instantly appeared on Wilson's face. He reached out to pat Alina's head and praised her, "Honey, thank you so much!"
"You're being annoying!" Alina glared at him.
Wilson laughed loudly in response. He was in a good mood.
Walking past a men's clothing store, Alina tugged on Wilson and asked, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"
She knew that all of Wilson's clothes were custom tailored, but she wanted to buy some clothes for him!
Wilson shook his head. "No! Today we're shopping for your clothes!"
Although Alina didn't say anything, she was deeply touched by his words.
They continued shopping in the women's clothing area.
Alina put on a nonchalant tone. "S*umbag, when is your birthday?"
Just now, she noticed an exquisite tie displayed in a glass window. She wanted to buy it for him.
"The 26th of February. What's wrong? Do you want to give me a birthday present?" Wilson smiled slyly.
"No one's getting a gift for you. You think too much!" When her thoughts were exposed, Alina laughed sheepishly.
Wilson laughed as well. He held Alina's hand and strolled to another area.
Suddenly, Alina's phone rang. She picked up the call and realized it was from Michael.
Alina was a little embarrassed and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be there soon!"
She hadn't seen Michael for several days because she was spending time with Wilson. When she thought of this, she couldn't help blaming herself.
"Michael?" Wilson raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes." Alina nodded and put the phone back in her bag. "I won't be going to the office this afternoon. I'll go straight to the hospital to see Michael after I finish shopping as I haven't visited him for a few days."
"Do you want me to go with you?" Wilson asked for Alina's opinion.
Alina shook her head. "No, you're still busy with work in the afternoon. I'll come over to Scott Group after I visit Michael!"
"Really?" Wilson was overjoyed when he heard that Alina was coming to his office in Scott Group.
"Yes!"
"Honey, you're such a good girl!" Wilson raised his eyebrows.
"Your mouth is getting more and more annoying!" Alina rolled her eyes.
Wilson laughed out loud at her exasperation.
Half an hour later, Wilson dropped Alina off at the entrance of Lanthem Hospital and watched her walk into the hospital.
Alina walked into Michael's ward, but she didn't see anyone. The ward was empty. In a surprise, she whirled around to look for help when she bumped into someone.
She immediately apologized profusely. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Alina looked up and saw Michael smiling at her.
Her bright eyes widened. "Michael, can you stand up now?"
With a look of pleasant surprise, she inspected Michael from head to toe.
At this moment, Michael was wearing a blue and white hospital gown. His thin face looked pale. He was standing up with the support of crutches and Morgan was struggling to help him.
Seeing the tears of joy that appeared in Alina's eyes, Michael smiled. "I can stand up now, but not for long. I just came back from physical therapy for my rehabilitation."
Alina immediately responded, "Quick, then lie down quickly. Don't tire yourself out."
She reached out to help him.
Michael allowed her to support him.
When she bumped into him just now, he was in so much pain that he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break. He was in such a pitiful state. Thinking of this, Michael lowered his head to hide a rueful smile.
After lying down on the bed, he said, "Alina, won't your work be affected if you come over to the hospital at this time?"
