"Why do you draw the boundaries between us so clearly? As a friend, it's natural for me to help you. Moreover, it's just a piece of cake to me!" Wilson frowned. Her words grated on his nerves.
Alina laughed. "But we are not friends, aren't we?"
Wilson's face darkened. He never would have expected that in her heart, she didn't even regard him as a friend.
He was speechless with anger.
Wilson fidgeted with the teaspoon in his hand, and he drank a sip of the coffee. Wilson's face grimaced from the bitter taste of the coffee. Since young, he hated bitter-tasting food and drinks. Normally, he would add sugar to his coffee, but today, he forgot because he was so agitated by this woman. Her words managed to affect him so badly. The bitter aftertaste from the coffee lingered on his tongue.
Wilson stood up and tried to suppress his anger. "I'll send you back to the hospital. It's late at night, and it's not safe outside."
"Okay!" Alina smiled and nodded. She didn't try to fight for the bill and allowed Wilson to pay for her drink. At least, she should let him be a gentleman.
In less than a month, she had already owed Wilson a lot of money. Two more drinks were nothing. She could repay him by making him coffee or cooking a meal for him if she ever had the chance.
Anyway, she doubted that there was any chance for them to meet in the future. He seemed angry. In Alina's mind, if Wilson was truly in a hurry to get married, he would take the hint and look for another candidate.
Thinking of this, a brilliant smile spread across her face. Alina stared at Wilson's back as he walked away. For the past month, her life seemed like a dream. It's time to wake up since Scumbag would disappear from her life. Looking back at the time, she had no desire to be intimate with Wilson. However, she still had fantasies of married life. She imagined that one day she would move out from her old home, she would no longer be scolded by her mother, and she could have her own space to pore over her design plans. Occasionally, she might even ask Scumbag for his opinion on her work.
Her life would return back to normal.
Alina knew that after her mother learned about the incident with Mike, her mother's abuse would become even worse. Mr. Sharon was also really troublesome. Did he have nothing else better to do? He even dared to tattle to her mother.
Alina ignored her thoughts and quickly followed after Wilson.
Wilson drove Alina to the hospital. He was silent throughout the journey.
Alina did not say anything to him as well. After some time, they arrived at the hospital. When Alina opened the car door and got out, Wilson still did not say a word.
