Chapter 60:Wilson Visits Alina’s Home Part 3
"Oh, sure, sure! Tell me, I am all ears!" Austin quickly sat down beside Alina, who was sitting opposite
Wilson. She kept rubbing her hands on her knees, looking very nervous.
Wilson went straight to the point. "Madam, Alina and I are getting married. I hope you can give us your
blessings!"
"You''re getting married?" Austin was so shocked that she immediately turned to Alina beside her.
Alina nodded. "Yes, Mom. We''re getting married. I told you about this before."

"I see, you''re talking about him! You insolent girl, why didn''t you correct me? I thought you were going
to marry that intern. Oh, sorry, I didn''t mean to look down on him. Well, since you''ve known each other
for so long, getting married should indeed be the next step!" Austin couldn''t hide her joy and
excitement.
Wilson smiled again. "So, Do you agree, Madam?"
"Yes, yes, of course. Why would I disagree? You and Alina are in love with each other. As her mother,
how could Ie between both of you? How could I not wish for my daughter''s happiness?" Saying
that, Austin looked pointedly at Alina. She rubbed her thumb and index finger together, gesturing
silently to Alina for her dowry.
Alina''s heart ached.
Wilson did not miss Austin''s gesture. He smiled and said, "Madam, Alina and I will get our marriage
certificateter. From today onwards, Alina will be moving out and living with me. For the past twenty
years, you have taken care of Alina and raised her up, and we are very grateful. In the future, we may
note back to visit you very often due to our hectic work schedule. Here is two million dors as a
sign of gratitude and our filial piety. Please ept it."
As Wilson spoke, he took out a card from his wallet and pushed it across the table to Austin. "Madam,
the money is in this card, and it''s not password protected. I would rmend that you secure it with
your password or transfer the money to your bank ount."
"This, this is too much. How could I ept such arge sum?" Austin was ted, but she pretended to
be hesitant on the surface.
Wilson smiled again and insisted. "Madam, you don''t have to be so formal with us. From now on, we
are family."
"Yes, we are family now. You must treat Alina well in the future. She''s a good girl." Austin had already
swiped the card and kept it. The joy on her face could not be hidden.
"In a short while, we will be leaving to get the marriage certificate," Wilson said.
"Sure, sure! I''ll go get some groceries. You cane back for lunch after that." Austin was over the
moon. At this rate, Alina could do no wrong in her eyes.
Wilson turned down the offer with a smile. "Don''t trouble yourself. We''ll go to the hospital to visit a
friend at noon. After that, Alina and I have a prior engagement."
"Well, you can go first if you are busy. Remember toe for dinner when you are free. Alina, give me
a call before you visit. I will cook all your favourite dishes for you."
Alina listened to Austin''s motherly words. The more she heard, the sadder she became. The only time
her mother would treat her well was when she had money to get out of it.
Wilson stood up. "Alina, pack up now. We''ll live in the apartment from now on."
"Alright!" Alina nodded. A wave of sadness washed over her.
Surprisingly, she felt a little reluctant to leave her home and family.
Alina went back to her room and packed her things into two bags.
She had few personal belongings. Alina brought a change of clothes, some books, notepads, a pile of
drawing paper and herputer.
She came out with a bag in each hand. Wilson came over and took the bags from her.
"We are leaving. We wille back to visit when we are free!" Wilson said as he walked out.
"Okay!" Austin replied with a smile.
Alina followed closely behind Wilson. Her heart ached, and she couldn''t hold back her tears.
