A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 62

"I had a happy life throughout middle school and junior high. However, misfortune struck my family. When I was in my first year of high school, my father passed away due to an accident. After my father left us, my mother seemed to have changed into another person. Whenever I returned home from school at the end of the month, she would constantly scold me, calling me a jinx.

"I finally made it through high school. At college, I fell in love!" 

Wilson noticed that Alina's eyes were brimming with tears. She turned her head away to look out of the window. Alina brushed her hand across her eyes and sniffed back the tears. 

"If it makes you sad, you don't have to continue," Wilson said. He understood the pain of not being able to be with the person he loved most.

Wilson handed Alina a tissue, his other hand on the steering wheel. 

Alina took the tissue thankfully and continued, "Mom knew that Ken was rich, so she treated me slightly better. She urged me to marry him quickly, but I was still studying at that time. I don't know where she heard it, but she said that graduation season was break-up season. If I didn't get hitched to Ken before graduation, I would regret it for the rest of my life."

"Sure enough, her words came true. Graduation season was really the break-up season. Both of us broke up after I graduated. Subsequently, our whole family moved from Ritz City to Jameson City. This is how I ended up here. What about you?"

Seeing Alina's low spirits, Wilson tried his best to cheer her up by telling her stories from his childhood. "When I was younger, I was the happiest when it was time to learn martial arts. I was really flexible during the stretch training, but Lucas cried most of the time when our instructor forced him to stretch!"

Alina let out a chuckle. She turned her head to look at Wilson, only to see his poker face. He wasn't joking when he said this. 

Hearing Alina's laughter, Wilson raised the corners of his lips. "On the other hand, Colton has shorter fingers than me. I enjoyed my piano lessons with him because, in comparison, the piano instructor would let me off easy!"

"I really didn't expect you to be so cunning when you were younger." Alina forgot about her sad memories with Ken and felt much better. 

Wilson raised his eyebrows and said, "Happiness is based on comparison with others!" 

Alina was speechless at Wilson's remark.
