Alina followed closely behind Wilson and entered his room.
Inside the room, the first thing she saw were rows upon rows of bookshelves. The shelves were packed with books. It gave her the feeling that she had accidentally entered a library.
"Do you like reading?" Alina asked Wilson.
"Not really!" Wilson replied.
Alina was puzzled by his reply.
Wilson stood motionlessly in front of the bookshelves and stared at them. A soft smile appeared on his face. "Since childhood, there were many books that I had to study. At that time, I did not understand it, but I just read whatever I was told so that I could go out and play. When I grew a little older, I was forced to study piles of books that I'm not actually interested in, due to peer pressure and competition from others. Later on, reading became a habit for me. Habits are a big part of a man's daily life!"
Alina's mouth widened in surprise. "You've finished reading all these books?"
"Yes," Wilson continued, "Let's go and take a look elsewhere!"
Alina immediately followed him inside. She pursed her lips and thought to herself, "It's not as great as it looks to be a born with a silver spoon. He had to study so many books that it's scary to look at."
Then, she thought of Lucas and Colton that she had seen before. Needless to say, the two should be the competitors mentioned by S*umbag. Fortunately, Wilson excelled in his studies and stood out! Otherwise, he would not be the current president of Scott Group.
But now, all three grandsons have their girlfriends. Would she be a burden to Wilson, seeing as she had no family background?
Thinking of this, she ran after Wilson to ask a question.
