A round of applause rang out.
Jayden pouted. "Wilson has never been distracted by beauties, that's why he is now so good at golf. He spent all his time playing golf, how could we match up to him?" As he said, he flirtatiously pinched the chin of the attractive lady standing beside him. "Isn't that right, baby?"
"Yes, of course. You are right," She replied with a sweet smile.
Nielsen teased Bill, "You don't spend his time fooling around with women neither, do you, Bill? You're still a mama's boy!"
Bill gritted his teeth. "D*mn it, how many times have I told you? I'm not a virgin anymore!"
"Look at that, Bill's going to blow up from embarrassment!" Jayden burst into laughter.
Wilson ignored everyone. He swung his club and sent another golf ball flying.
Watching Wilson score another ball, Alina was a little excited. She held Momo's leash and walked towards Wilson.
In fact, she knew the rules of the game. She knew how to play golf, but she wasn't good at it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the past.
When Alina was still in college, even though she and Ken were already in a relationship, she knew that they were from different worlds. Alina tried her best to match up to him and not embarrass him. So, she studied everything he learnt. The things that he already knew, she tried her best to catch up. She tried to enter his upper-class world. Therefore, she took up many hobbies, such as golf, table tennis, sand painting, and Spanish.
Initially, Alina had wanted to learn French, because she felt France was the most romantic country in the world. However, Ken decided to take up Spanish, that's why she learnt Spanish all on her own.
Although in the end, she and Ken broke up, the things that she had learnt remained within her. Alina knew that the abilities and knowledge she acquired would accompany her for the rest of her life and become her strengths.
It was said that breaking up could help people grow, but in fact, being in love could achieve the same effect as well.
She held Momo's leash and smiled brightly in the face of the cold wind.
It turned out that forgetting someone wasn't that hard.
Gradually, she no longer felt bitter and sad. She no longer thought of the person she loved as soon as she woke up in the morning. She gradually learnt to laugh again, sometimes, she could even laugh her head off at a lame joke. She could have fun again with her friends. At work, she argued with her colleagues about the design plans and where should a tree be planted.
When the past memories were suddenly brought up, she no longer felt pain in her heart. The period of time when she used to be in love with him seemed like a distant memory. She had truly forgotten about him.
Ken was not only someone from her past, but she had also moved on from him. It was such a liberating feeling.
She walked towards Wilson, stepping lightly with Momo at her side. "Momo, let's go and watch the game."
Seeing Alina coming over, Wilson stood there with the golf club in his hand, smiling at her with a gentle expression.
When she approached, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll teach you!"
"Okay!" She replied with a sweet smile.
Alina found that the more she got to know Wilson, the more she wanted to be closer to him. It was as if he had a magnetic charisma that attracted her.
"Bill, take your dog away!" Wilson turned to Bill and demanded in a stern tone. He seemed to be disgusted with Momo.
Momo barked a few times in response.
Bill rolled his eyes and muttered, "What an ungrateful friend! He values his lover more than his friends!"
However, he obediently took Momo's leash from Alina.
The game ended just like that. Everyone was happy with the outcome anyway. After all, playing golf with Wilson was just asking to be trounced.
Of course, it was more satisfying to watch Alina play golf than watching Wilson play.
Wilson pulled Alina over to him and gave her a golf club. He stood behind her and began to teach her with his hands wrapped around her. "Hold the golf club firmly. After that, centre the force on your waist and focus on the position of the golf ball."
"I know how to play golf!" Alina said softly.
Wilson was surprised for a moment, and then he seemed to have remembered Alina's past. His eyes flashed with displeasure as he held her hand tightly. "I'll teach you again!"
He should have known her earlier so that he could teach her golf instead of Ken.
"Okay!" She smiled without noticing Wilson's irritation.
She really couldn't play golf well. If he was willing to teach her, of course, she would be willing to learn.
However, Wilson didn't teach her how to play. Instead, he placed his hands on hers and swung the golf club forcefully.
Another round of applause could be heard.
Jayden said teasingly, "Alina, that's amazing! You scored a hole in one for your first shot!"
Wilson rested his chin on Alina's shoulder and whispered, "Lina, I wasn't part of your life before this, but I will be present in every moment for the rest of your life."
Alina was taken aback by his declaration. After a while, she nodded. Her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness.
Wilson ignored the other guys. He held Alina in his arms and kept shooting shot after shot. Each time he swung the golf club, he scored a hole in one.
Alina shouted excitedly each time they scored.
"It's in!"
"We scored again!"
"Wow, that's great!"
"S*umbag, is this point mine or yours?"
"What's mine is yours!" Wilson said in an overbearing tone.
He disliked hearing her talk about them separately. Wilson hoped that Alina could think of themselves as a couple. He even hoped to hear her say something selfish or overbearing, for example, "You are mine, your money is mine, and everything you have is mine!"
