A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 60

"Oh, sure, sure! Tell me, I am all ears!" Austin quickly sat down beside Alina, who was sitting opposite Wilson. She kept rubbing her hands on her knees, looking very nervous.

Wilson went straight to the point. "Madam, Alina and I are getting married. I hope you can give us your blessings!"

"You're getting married?" Austin was so shocked that she immediately turned to Alina beside her.

Alina nodded. "Yes, Mom. We're getting married. I told you about this before."

"I see, you're talking about him! You insolent girl, why didn't you correct me? I thought you were going to marry that intern. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to look down on him. Well, since you've known each other for so long, getting married should indeed be the next step!" Austin couldn't hide her joy and excitement.

Wilson smiled again. "So, Do you agree, Madam?" 

"Yes, yes, of course. Why would I disagree? You and Alina are in love with each other. As her mother, how could I come between both of you? How could I not wish for my daughter's happiness?" Saying that, Austin looked pointedly at Alina. She rubbed her thumb and index finger together, gesturing silently to Alina for her dowry. 

Alina's heart ached.

Wilson did not miss Austin's gesture. He smiled and said, "Madam, Alina and I will get our marriage certificate later. From today onwards, Alina will be moving out and living with me. For the past twenty years, you have taken care of Alina and raised her up, and we are very grateful. In the future, we may not come back to visit you very often due to our hectic work schedule. Here is two million dollars as a sign of gratitude and our filial piety. Please accept it."

As Wilson spoke, he took out a card from his wallet and pushed it across the table to Austin. "Madam, the money is in this card, and it's not password protected. I would recommend that you secure it with your password or transfer the money to your bank account."  

"This, this is too much. How could I accept such a large sum?" Austin was elated, but she pretended to be hesitant on the surface.

Wilson smiled again and insisted. "Madam, you don't have to be so formal with us. From now on, we are family."

"Yes, we are family now. You must treat Alina well in the future. She's a good girl." Austin had already swiped the card and kept it. The joy on her face could not be hidden.
