A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 40

Alina was taken aback by his words. She didn't know whether to accept or decline the gift. She quickly declined it as if she was holding a hot potato in her hand. "Mr. Lincoln, I can't accept this!" What if it was something like an heirloom? She couldn't accept such an expensive gift! 

Lincoln saw through her thoughts and smiled. "Don't worry about it. It's not anything valuable. If it's really valuable, I wouldn't have left it on the shelf to collect dust. Open it and have a look."

"Oh," Alina said as she placed the box on the table and opened it.

Inside the box, was an ornament shaped like a fish. Alina guessed that it should be made out of gold.

Lincoln explained, "This ornament is a fish made out of gold. It's not heavy, only twenty grams and just worth a few thousand dollars. This is a gift from me to you as a symbol of good luck. I hope that Wilson and you will have a good life together!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lincoln!" Alina's heart was again moved by Wilson's grandfather's words.

She accepted the gift gratefully. According to the current market price, this fish was worth less than five or six thousand dollars. It's not the cost of the fish that counts, but the well-wishes of Wilson's grandfather that was immeasurable in value. 

Alina regretted not bringing a gift for Mr. Lincoln this time. However, she might have more chances to visit in the future. She would definitely prepare a gift for Wilson's grandfather the next time she came. 

Lincoln glanced at Alina and reminded her, "Alina, this fish is a gift personally from me. You must keep it properly. Don't lose it or sell it off."

Alina couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Lincoln, don't worry. I won't lose it, nor will I sell it. Even if I'm bankrupt and penniless, I won't sell the golden fish." She found Wilson's grandfather to be unexpectedly endearing. 

Lincoln joined her in laughter. "Alright, I will take you at your words. You can go ahead, don't let Wilson wait too long." He was in a very good mood.

Alina took the box and said goodbye to Lincoln. As she left, she pouted her lips. Would the s*umbag wait for her? She didn't think so.
