Chapter 5: I Might Not Love You
Chapter 5: I Might Not Love You
Alina instinctively tried to escape. Wilson grabbed her wrist and said, "If you don't want others to
misunderstand, come with me!"
"Scumbag, let go of me!" Alina was annoyed by his persistence. Please, she was the victim here. Why
should she be threatened by him?
Wilson smirked and pulled Alina into his arms in an embrace. "Why, don't you mind if I do something to
you here?"
Alina's heart skipped a beat. If he could do that to her in her car, who knows what he would do out
here. She gritted her teeth. "Will you stop pestering me after this?"
"Sure, if you give me a satisfactory answer!" Wilson replied.
Alina followed him obediently to his car. She felt it was odd of this man. She didn't even blame him
anymore, but why was he still harassing her? Crazy man!
The car pulled up in front of a western restaurant.
Alina cut up the delicious steak in front of her angrily. Her expression was fierce as she stabbed each
piece of meat with her fork. To be honest, she wanted to stab people like Hall Garcia, Anne Smith and
the scum sitting across from her to death if she could.
Wilson waited for Alina to finish eating the steak before asking, "Have you thought about what you else
need besides money?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Alina looked up and shook her head. "No, I don't need anything except money. In fact, many problems
in this world can be solved with money. I will think carefully about how to spend five million dollars."
Wilson nodded and continued, "Yesterday, you mentioned that you needed me to take responsibility. I'll
marry you, don't worry about it!"
Alina almost choked in surprise. She quickly explained, "No, no! I was just joking. I didn't mean it!"
"I am serious because I am already of marriageable age. However, I need to make something clear. I
might not love you even if we get married. But I promise, as long as you are not unreasonable and
interfere in my life, I will never divorce you. I won't divorce as long as I live!" Wilson said in a serious
tone.
Alina widened her eyes "You might not love me? What do you mean?"
Wilson explained, "The human heart is very small. If it is already occupied, no one else can replace the
person in it. Even if I couldn't love you, I will still fulfil my duties as a good husband!"
"Since there is someone whom you love, why not marry her?" Alina asked, puzzled. Wasn't he rich?
What could come between him and his lover?
"Unfortunately, she has passed away." The atmosphere in the hall grew sombre. Alina could not help
but look up at Wilson. His expression was full of sorrow but he quickly composed himself. It seemed
that the sorrow on his face just now was just an illusion.
"I'm sorry!" Alina apologized, "I didn't know that she already..."
"It's okay," Wilson pressed his lips together and said, "So, if you need me to take responsibility for my
actions, it is fine by me. After marriage, we can get along with each other like friends or even relatives."
"There's no need to take responsibility! I mean, I've already forgotten what happened that day!" Alina
was embarrassed just by hearing him say it.
"Isn't a woman's virginity very important? How can you forget it so easily?" Wilson asked again.
Alina coughed dryly and said, "Well, it's not particularly important to me anyway!"
"Oh," Wilson nodded with understanding.
"Well, thanks for the meal. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. I have to look around the project
site in the afternoon. Since the design plan was accepted, the landscaping project should start
immediately." Alina wanted to leave quickly and used her job as an excuse. Nonetheless, this man
seemed to be able to stay calm no matter what happened. On the other hand, Alina was unsettled by
their conversation today.
"No hurry. I think we need to discuss more on this matter. We should reach a decision today. If you
don't have enough time, I can help you ask for leave!" Wilson replied nonchalantly.
Alina thought that she was going mad. How unlucky could she have been to get involved with this man!
She had insisted that he didn't need to take responsibility for anything. She even reassured him that
her virginity wasn't a big deal. He still had more to discuss?
After that, she spent most of the time keeping her mouth shut. When Wilson asked something about
her, she would reply briefly with few words. She was such a blabbermouth! If only she hadn't
mentioned anything about him taking responsibility, he wouldn't have been so concerned over this
issue.
However, an hour or two later, Alina slowly changed her mind. She heard Wilson talking about how
they could get along after marriage, such as not interfering with each other, respecting each other's
decisions, and so on. It seemed that Wilson was a good candidate for marriage. Therefore, she
promised him that she would consider the proposal.
