Chapter 1729
Chapter 1729
Wilson was wearing a black suit. His legs were long, while his shoulders were broad. Two buttons on the collar of his shirt were unbuttoned, and his Adam's Apple was protruding. The sunset glow came in through the window and shed on his face. His hair had been neatly combed, and his handsome features were unforgettable to others.
He was wearing a pair of platinum-gilded glasses, which made him look gentle, elegant, and casual. His appearance was so outstanding that he had attracted the attention of a great many nurses passing by.
He was holding an intercom of sterile room in his hand, and he looked a little bit exhausted after traveling a long distance.
In fact, he had come back home two days earlier than expected.
He didn't inform Tina in advance. Obviously, he wanted to give her a surprise.
Tina looked dazed.
She seemed to be surprised indeed, but her expression looked a little dull at the same time.
Behind the transparent glass, Isla's face appeared to be florid.
As her dear Domineering CEO had come back from his business trip, she was the most excited person. She smiled innocently and revealed a row of white and lovely teeth.
Tina walked over at a relatively slow pace. "Wilson, why didn't you tell me you are coming back!"
"Uh-huh!" Wilson curled his lips up.
"Have you just arrived?" Tina asked.
"The plane landed an hour ago!" Wilson looked a little tired.
"Hum..." Tina was at a loss.
It meant that Wilson came directly to the hospital from the airport after landing of the plane.
Wilson looked down a little and frowned. He had noticed the pot of ball cactus in her hand. "Tina, what's that in your hand?"
Tina replied, "This is Desmond's gift for Isla..."
Only then did Desmond casually greet him, "Wilson..."
Wilson answered him nonchalantly.
He knew that the meaning of ball cactus as a gift was good, and therefore he was delighted to see it.
However, when Wilson noticed an air of provocation in Desmond's eyes, he disliked it very much, and he ordered directly, "You have given the gift to Tina. It's none of your business now! I only ordered a dinner for two persons, and you don't have a share here. Go do what you have to do!"
Isla was living in the sterile room, and the nurses were responsible for her meals.
It meant that only Tina and Wilson could have dinner here. If Desmond stayed here, he could only smell the dinner.
Hearing this, Desmond was so annoyed that his hair stood on end.
Tina pursed her lips, and her eye expression was subtle. She said, "Desmond, why don't you have dinner at home?"
At this, Desmond became much more annoyed. He felt that Tina cherished love and sex more than friendship and kindness.
However, he still clearly remembered the scene that Wilson directly held Tina up and carried her away in front of him last time. For Desmond, this was really mean and unacceptable. He didn't want to experience it again.
And more importantly, he also clearly remembered Tina's promise to cook him some porridge. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
He swayed the curly hair over his forehead and suddenly came up with a good idea. He planned that after Tina cooked the porridge for him, he would show it off in front of Wilson. "That feeling must be terrific!", he thought.
Desmond shook his legs. "Tina, I'll come to see you the other day. Don't forget your promise!"
Tina nodded.
Desmond then left in a carefree manner.
Wilson frowned and asked, "What did you promise him?" "Nothing special!" Tina shook her head.
It was quite easy for her to cook some porridge, and therefore she didn't think it was a big deal.
Just as Wilson wanted to further ascertain what Tina had promised Desmond, he heard from the intercom the sweet voice of Isla urging him, "Domineering CEO, you haven't told me about the pony which you have seen abroad. You said it looked very similar to Marshmallow. What happened to it later on? Did it stand up successfully?"
Wilson came over here earlier than Tina. He had shared a lot of interesting things which he experienced abroad when Tina reached the hospital after work.
While he was abroad, Wilson once visited Hayden Chiang's horse ranch for negotiation of a business deal. At that time, one of the champion horses happened to be giving birth to a colt, namely, a baby horse. After the colt was born, it immediately needed to learn how to stand up by itself. Wilson told Isla this interesting story.
Wilson nodded with a smile. "Well... She succeeded in standing up in the end!"
Isla grinned happily and said, "Domineering CEO, I miss Marshmallow so much! I want to know if it has grown taller or become fatter!"
Wilson replied gently, "You'll soon see it again!"
If he hadn't come back two days earlier from the business trip, when he saw Isla again, she would have been transferred from the sterile room to the ordinary ward for observation, and as soon as she could pass the infection period safely, she would be considered having been clinically cured.
Isla smiled and nodded. "Uh-huh!"
The interaction between the father and daughter was warm and interesting. Tina stood quietly beside them, as though she was simply an outsider.
Her eyelashes were drooping, while her eye expression could not be easily observed. She was immersed in her own thoughts.
Wilson ordered the dishes of a famous restaurant. Then, he and Tina had dinner outside of the sterile room, while Isla had her dinner inside it. Although they were isolated by a glass wall, the atmosphere of the family of three having dinner together was still cozy and comfortable.
When the night fell, Tina and Wilson left the sterile room.
In the evening, there were fewer people in the hospital. The sound of their footsteps on the floor tiles was soft and casual.
Under the lamplight, their shadows were stretched out.
Wilson's suit jacket was hung on the crook of his arm. He squinted at Tina, "I'll ask Terry to pay attention to kindergartens these days. When Isla is discharged from the hospital, I want her to enjoy her childhood like a normal child. Tina, you and Isla could move to the No.1 Luxurious Residence!"
Tina's expression changed slightly when she heard that.
A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. She raised her head and asked him somewhat annoyed, "Mr. Chin, are you going to keep a secret concubine in a splendid abode?"
Wilson hooked his lips cunningly and teased her with a playful look. "Do you want to be this concubine?"
Tina remained silent.
There was a faint smile on her face, but her palms were cold, and moistened by sweat.
Tina lowered her head and restrained all her emotions. Wilson didn't notice the change in her expression. He reached out to her, trying to grab her small hand and pull her into his arms. "Shall we go to your house tonight?"
He had been away on a business trip for so many days. He missed her very much, and he needed her to comfort himself, physically and mentally.
Tina's house was closer to the hospital, and Wilson really wished that he could pounce on her as soon as possible.
Tina's hand suddenly dodged the instant his hand touched hers.
Wilson frowned as he failed to grab Tina's soft little hand.
At first, he thought that Tina was simply shy of this. However, she halted her steps and looked up at him. Then, she said in a calm and clear voice, "Wilson, I want to put an end to our relationship."
Wilson's face suddenly changed.
The eyes behind his glasses were narrowed, revealing an air of threatening. "What do you mean by that? Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding!" Tina said, "I just don't want to continue."
Wilson's thin lips slowly curled up, and he became furious.
It was as if his eyes were burning with anger. "Tina, I haven't said I want to end our relationship!"
Tina's hands were clenched into fists near her thigs.
Her fingernails became white for the tension of her fists. Her eyelashes drooped, and when she raised her eyes again, her eye expression was firm and adamant. "There is no need for an end. We didn't have a beginning this time, and therefore there is nothing for us to end...
We are both adults with the right to choose what we want! You can rest assured that I won't deprive you of your right of being Isla's father. In the future, if you want to see Isla, you can visit her at any time."
