A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 48

Melodious background music could be heard from a coffee shop.

Wilson and Alina sat in an inconspicuous corner of the shop. 

Alina ordered orange juice as usual. She never drank coffee.

Wilson gently stirred a teaspoon in his cup of coffee. 

Alina gulped down half of the orange juice, then she looked at Wilson and smiled. "You seem to always catch me at my most embarrassing moments. Have you ever thought of something?" 

"What?" Wilson looked up and raised his eyebrows questioningly. 

"Don't you think it could be more than just a coincidence? Every single time, whenever I'm in an awkward situation, you would happen to witness it. I've been bullied, been insulted verbally, in the future I might even get beat up. In fact, you should have thought of it. This is my life and my world. I am a person who is unwelcome anywhere I go."

"Do you have anything more to say?" Wilson's eyebrows twitched. This woman was a sincere and genuine person. Compared to other pretentious women who tried to get his attention, Alina was in a different class. 

Alina continued, "My mother loves money more than anything. The only time she will treat me a little better is when I bring my salary home every month. To be fair, I'm not an obedient daughter, I'm always rebelling against her wishes. However, I can't live the way she wants me to. That is why our relationship has deteriorated to what you saw today. My family is not only poor financially, but filled with endless insults and cursing. Being related by blood doesn't mean anything when we are more like enemies."
