A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 87

Alina went to the refrigerator to get an apple. Wilson had told her that there were all kinds of fruits which he bought just now. 

She took out an apple, washed it under the tap, and handed it to Wilson. "Here, your apple." 

Wilson frowned. "I don't eat the apple skin!"

"This won't do, apples should be eaten with their skin!" Alina showed a serious expression on her face.

Since they left the jigsaw puzzle shop, Wilson had the upper hand in all their decisions. This time, Alina was determined to have her way! 

Wilson frowned again. "Since young, I have not eaten apples that were not peeled."  

Inwardly, Alina smiled mischievously. However, she put on an unyielding expression on her face and said in a stubborn tone, "I want you to eat it whole!"

Wilson frowned: "I really hate eating apple in its skin!" 

She insisted. "Do you really love me if you can't even eat an apple for me?"

When Wilson heard Alina's words and noticed that she had a displeased look on her face, he reached out and took the apple from her. Without saying a word, he took a big bite from the apple, skin and all. 

Alina's eyes widened. Was the apple skin that nasty? Why did Wilson look like he was consuming poison? His brows were furrowed tightly into a knot.

She couldn't help poking his cheek. "Hey, is it really that difficult for you to eat apple peel?" 

Wilson peeked at her and nodded. "Yes, it's disgusting!"  

"If it really tastes that bad, you don't have to eat it then." Alina gave in first. 

She couldn't bear to see him in distress.

Wilson shook his head. "No, since you were the one who asked me to eat it, I must finish this apple."  

Alina was speechless at his obstinancy. 

With a frown on his face and his eyes squeezed shut, Wilson finally finished the apple after much difficulty. 

During the whole process, Alina felt bad for forcing Wilson to eat the apple peel. As he took the last bite out of the apple, she heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "In the future, you don't have to eat the apple skin anymore!" 

Wilson pulled her into his arms and rocked her gently from side to side. He murmured, "In all my 28 years of life, I never ate apples in their skin. Silly girl, do you know how much I love you? I would rather eat the nastiest apple peel in the world as long as you remain by my side!"

With Wilson's help, their efficiency at completing the jigsaw puzzle improved by leaps and bounds. 

Although Wilson took liberties to distract Alina with kisses and hugs, they managed to complete the puzzle before nine o'clock in the morning.

It was obvious that it would be completely impossible for Alina to complete the puzzle all by herself before ten.

Wilson had put together the jigsaw puzzle as fast as lightning. Alina's eyes shone with admiration at his speed. 

It seemed like Wilson had no weakness. Although this was his first time completing a puzzle, how could he be so skilful? In Alina's opinion, he was as perfect as a celestial being. 

It was after a long time that Alina finally found out Wilson was an idiot in first aid and cooking. Only then did she realise Wilson was just a normal man with weaknesses. He couldn't even cook!

After they finished the Pines and Cranes jigsaw puzzle, Wilson and Alina drove straight to the Scott Family villa. 

At 9:30 in the morning, they arrived punctually at the venue.  

At this time, the atmosphere was already very lively. There were many people milling around the gardens of the Scott Family villa. 

Most of the men were in formal suits, and the women were dressed in their finest gowns. 

At a glance, it was obvious that the invited guests were of elite status. 

Alina was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Wilson held her hand in his gently. 

He could feel the tension from her hands and comforted Alina softly, "Don't worry, I'm right beside you!" 

"Yes." Alina nodded, immediately feeling at ease.

A charming and sweet smile appeared on her face.

The servants of the Scott Family were so busy that they were almost running to complete their tasks.

There were more than a hundred tables placed around the courtyard of the villa. It was a huge task for the servants to serve the hungry crowd who were invited to the banquet. 

Alina turned to Wilson and asked with a smile, "Will there be that many guests to fill all the tables?" 

Wilson smiled and replied with a meaningful look in his eyes, "The rest of the guests have not arrived yet. If we were to open up the villa and announce the celebration publicly, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to accommodate everyone."

Meeting Wilson's profound gaze, Alina understood instantly. Since the olden times, people had flocked to the rich and wealthy. No one would care about a poor person.  

Her family's situation was in stark contrast to Wilson's. Since childhood, few relatives had come to visit her family. When her father was still alive, some of her uncles would come to visit occasionally. However, after her father passed away, they were no longer in contact.  

Among the relatives on her mother's side, there was only an aunt who stayed in touch. After Alina and her family moved to Jameson City, they lost contact as her aunt's family was poor and her cousin had a frail constitution. 

Noticing Wilson's arrival, countless people came up immediately to greet him with wide smiles on their faces.

"Hello, Mr. Scott!"

"Good day, Mr. Scott!"

"Wilson, you're here!"

"Mr. Scott, I'm so glad to see you."

"Mr. Scott, I've asked to meet you several times, however, you were too busy. We finally have the chance to meet today." 

...

Wilson greeted them with a poker face. He was used to treating people coldly and keeping them at a distance especially in the business world.
