Alina knocked on the door of the study room, and Lincoln's voice rang out. "Come in!"
Alina turned to look at Wilson. Wilson said, "I'll wait for you here. Don't worry!"
Alina entered the study.
Outside the study, Wilson leaned against a pillar in the corridor. He crossed his legs and wrapped his arms around his chest as he waited for Alina. He stared in the direction of his grandfather's study and his lips curled into a relaxed smile. How could this woman be tricked so easily? She believed every word he spoke!
Wilson chuckled at the thought. He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke.
He had never felt that the smell of cigarettes would be so satisfying.
After smoking half a cigarette, he suddenly thought of previous incidents when Alina was being bullied, and the smile on his lips disappeared.
This woman would be his wife in the future. He, Wilson Scott, would not allow anyone to bully her ever again.
The moment Alina entered the study, she noticed it was filled with the scent of old books. She greeted Lincoln respectfully, "Good evening, Mr. Lincoln!"
"Have a seat!" Lincoln's expression was dignified as Alina quietly sat down on the solid wooden bench.
"Alina, how long have you known Wilson?" Lincoln suddenly asked.
Alina tried to recall back to when they first met. It was the day by the river. Thinking of what happened that day, she couldn't help blushing. She lowered her head and answered, "Around twenty days."
Lincoln coughed in surprise. Only twenty days? Wilson used to be a sensible child, but he was going to marry a woman he only knew for twenty days? Lincoln couldn't help but take another look at Alina.
He asked again, "Do you really understand Wilson?"
Alina thought for a while, and then replied, "I don't know much about him, but I do know that he is a very responsible and reliable person!"
Lincoln nodded. "I see. Come over here, Alina. Take a look at this painting for me."
