A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 84

When Alina heard Wilson's words, she panicked. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" 

She had always been worried about this problem too. Alina was afraid that she would fall in love with Wilson accidentally. He was too desirable and excellent! Most importantly, he was always there when she needed him. Alina was concerned that she would not be able to control her feelings if they were together for a long time.

"You completed a jigsaw puzzle for Ken previously, right?" Wilson looked meaningfully at Alina. His eyes were like a deep abyss, pulling her into its depths. 

Alina turned away awkwardly. She didn't want to lie, so she nodded and replied, "Yes."

Wilson was displeased when he heard Alina's answer. He suddenly let go of her hand and went into the shop again. He pointed to another puzzle and asked the shop assistant in an impatient tone, "Is this two thousand pieces?" 

When the shop assistant nodded, Wilson continued, "I'm getting this jigsaw puzzle."  

Then he handed his credit card to the clerk. "There's no password for this card!"

When Wilson let go of her hand, Alina suddenly felt insecure. She walked quickly to the shop to find Wilson. As she walked in, the shop assistant had already swiped Wilsons card. Wilson came up to her with two bags in his hands. 

Alina looked at Wilson in confusion.

Wilson reached out and gripped Alina's hand more tightly than before.

"Wilson?" Alina called Wilson's name gently. He had always been calm, but now his mood seemed a little unstable. A moment ago, he was fine, but why did his face turn downcast in such a short time? Was it because she dodged his question just now? 

She bit her lower lip and confessed the truth. "S*umbag, you are an attractive man. Furthermore, you treat me so nice. Whenever I'm in danger, you would appear in time and save me. To be honest, I am very worried that I will fall in love with you! However, that is not our original intention, isn't it?"

Wilson saw Alina's bright eyes were grave and serious. He couldn't help but be moved by her sincere words. It turned out that his feelings weren't one-sided. Was that so?

He suddenly pulled Alina into his embrace and whispered in her ear, "Alina, feel free to fall in love with me! You can do that without any worries! I promise to be by your side for the rest of your life." 

Alina was stunned and deeply moved by Wilson's declaration as well. He pledged to be the only man for her.

At that moment, Alina felt like trying her best to support Wilson and stand alongside him, shoulder to shoulder, although this may seem like a joke to many people.

Alina replied gently, "Okay." 

Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered back, "I will try to fall in love with you!"

Wilson held Alina in his arms for a long time, he was unwilling to let go. Wilson longed for her touch and loved hugging her. It was obvious now that he liked her! 

Alina couldn't move as she was held tightly by Wilson. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, she coughed awkwardly. "S*umbag, let me go. Everyone is watching."

"Okay, let's go back and continue what we were doing!" Wilson smiled and gently let go of Alina. After that, he interlocked his fingers with hers naturally. 

Alina's cheeks blushed red with embarrassment.

As they walked away hand in hand, Wilson gestured to the bags in his hand. He turned to Alina and asked expectantly, "When you have time, can you solve this jigsaw puzzle for me?" 

Alina's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he was depressed because of the jigsaw puzzle she did for Ken? Was that possible?

"Yes." She nodded with a smile.

How could a jigsaw puzzle be sufficient to repay all the help and care that Wilson had done for her? 

The corners of Wilson's lips curled up into a smile, he looked like a boy who had just discovered the thrills of love. 

He held Alina's hand tightly and said, "Let's go and have a meal first. I'll help you with the puzzle later!"

Alina refused immediately. "No, I'll do it myself. As this is a gift, it would lose its sincerity if someone else were to help." 

"Well, I'll keep you company then!" Wilson responded, chuckling.

Alina nodded with a sweet smile in return. 

They went to the same restaurant nearby Wilson's apartment and sat side by side at the same window seat in the hall. 

While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Wilson held Alina's hand tightly. Alina took out the jigsaw puzzle from its bag and carefully analyzed the colours of the landscape painting.  

Alina studied landscape design at university and had a background in arts, so she was more sensitive to the difference in colours as compared to ordinary people. She also solved a few jigsaw puzzles before, thus she had prior experience.

She noted down the main colours of the jigsaw puzzle so that she could solve it much faster later. 

A puzzle of two thousand pieces was not twice as difficult as compared to a puzzle of one thousand pieces, in actual fact, the difficulty was multiplied by ten-fold.  

Looking at Alina scrutinizing the puzzle seriously, Wilson's smile grew wider.

He reached out with his other hand and stroked Alina's hair. It was soft and silky. 

Wilson couldn't help but praise her. "Your hair quality is really good. I like it!"  

Alina smiled at his compliment. "Well, I'm proud of my hair too." 

"Have you ever dyed your hair? I thought girls liked to dye their hair in different colours," Wilson asked curiously.

She shook her head. "No, I haven't dyed my hair. I prefer having natural hair colour. I have only permed my hair as it was originally straight." 

"I prefer natural hair colour as well!" Wilson agreed and said, "However, now your hair is just shoulder length. In my opinion, you will look more beautiful with long hair."

Alina said half-jokingly, "It's okay, my hair will grow longer if I don't cut it. It grows really quickly."
