Chapter 1738
The sun was setting in the evening. In the bustling commercial center, the advertising boards behind the glass windows were reflecting beautiful halos of the sunset glow.
The central revolving door kept turning, people came in or out of the commercial center one after another.
In front of the decoration pillar on the right side of the revolving door there was a tall and straight figure.
Wilson's bearing was of a well- trained style. Standing among the crowd, he was taller than most of the passers- by around him. His facial features were sculpture-like, which made he look handsome and outstanding.
There was a burning cigarette in his hand.
Through the white smoke, Wilson gazed at Tina, and also at the direction in which the white Porsche left.
Tina's body suddenly tensed up.
This was the first time the two of them met each other since that day.
As Wilson had already seen her, Tina couldn't turn around or pretend that she hadn't seen him. For this reason, she could only go straight over. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Her feet seemed to have become heavier with every step.
Tina's hands, which were hidden behind her back, clenched tightly. It was as if the emotions in her heart would not be exposed only if she didn't loosen her hands.
She called out to him, "President Chin!"
As soon as Tina spoke, a beam of cold light flashed in Wilson's eyes.
She was calling him "President Chin", rather than "Wilson".
Just like when she suggested that the relationship between them couldn't continue, the sense of alienation was still there.
Wilson's lips twitched.
Tina saw that Wilson was alone, and she couldn't find Terry. "President Chin, are you alone here? After Isla left the sterile room, she has been in a good state. You don't have to worry about her. The doctor said that she can be discharged from the hospital after staying there for some more days..."
In the end, even Tina herself didn't know what she was talking about.
There was no extra sign of emotion on Wilson's handsome face, only indifference could be noticed in his expression.
Wilson didn't respond to her question. Instead, he directly shouted, "Tina Hall, you have broken your promise!"
Tina was petrified.
Wilson questioned her further, "You want to give up the custody right of your own daughter, right? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
His eye expression was as cold as ice, and he almost behaved like a roaring tiger.
Wilson became furious because Tina had failed to fulfill her promise.
Behind the lens, his eyes were fixed on her, as if he was asking for a sincere answer.
Tina didn't forget about her promise.
She took the initiative to put an end to her relationship with him before. It was because she was afraid of something.
She was afraid that she might be left behind by Wilson, just like before. She decided not to continue their relationship not only because she wanted to keep a little bit of self-esteem, but also because she was deeply entangled in the triangular relationship.
At present, the marriage between the Chin family and the Amery family had become the spotlight of major media agencies.
Compared with Tina, Abby appeared to be a better choice as Wilson's wife, in terms of social status and family background.
The relationship between Wilson and Tina was none other than one between a buyer and a seller, while Wilson and Abby had once been lovers.
Although Isla could serve as a supportive factor of Tina, yet in reality, it's quite impossible for a single mother like Tina to be married into a rich and powerful family. Something liked that only occurred in TV dramas. If Tina continued to stay with Wilson in this way, she would end up becoming a so- called concubine which was not protected by law.
Even so, Tina still wanted to make her standpoint clear to Wilson.
She just wanted to tell him that she was virtually put in a dilemma, and explain to him why the so- called marriage between Dylan and her was simply a temporary strategy.
It was because Aspry had fallen seriously ill. He didn't have much time left. What she did was simply for fulfilling Aspry's last wish. In fact, although Dylan loved her, she didn't love him.
Tina hesitated before saying, "I..."
Suddenly, she caught sight of a graceful figure coming over. Her voice halted.
Seeing that Tina quickly stopped saying, Wilson's anger gradually diminished, and his eyes were now indifferent, as if he was gazing at a completely strange woman.
He felt disappointed, depressed, and gloomy for it.
Wilson originally thought that Isla was more important than Dylan in Tina's heart. Now, it seemed that Tina finally found herself unable to give up her ex- boyfriend. In order to be with this ex- boyfriend, she was willing to sacrifice the custody right of her own daughter.
Wilson was even doubtful of the motive of Tina for agreeing with him so easily before. Maybe she did it on purpose. She just wanted to confuse him, he thought.
At this moment, the graceful figure had walked up to them.
It was Abby Amery. She shouted with a smile, "Wilson!"
Then, as if she had just noticed Tina, she greeted her with a smile. "Miss Hall, what a coincidence!"
Tina nodded slightly.
It was obvious that Abby had just finished a very delicate hairstyle. Her hair was dyed with a new color and worn in a bun. Her makeup was delicate and beautiful.
Tina suddenly realized that Wilson was actually waiting for Abby.
Were they on a date?
Abby asked Tina gently and kindly, "Miss Hall, where are you going later? It's not easy to take a taxi at this time. Do you need us to drive you back home?"
Tina noticed Abby's wording, "us", which was emphasized.
She tried to calm herself down and shook her head. "No, thanks. I have to go to the supermarket first!"
"Alright!" Abby nodded.
Tina forced out a smile on her face and said generously, "I've already seen the news. You two are a perfect match. Congratulations!"
Abby replied, "Miss Hall, thank you!"
What she said just now was particularly sincere.
Wilson frowned and said, "It's almost too late!"
Wilson and Abby were indeed not having a date here. It was because they needed to attend a banquet tonight.
The Chin family and the Amery family had declared to the public that there would be a marriage between them. In consideration of the current state, it would be more beneficial to the common interests of the two families if Wilson and Abby were together more often. That's why they were often seen to be together these days.
Abby smiled and said to Tina, "Miss Hall, we'll go first. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Tina said.
She watched Wilson and Abby walking past her. Abby was smiling proudly, and it was obviously the winner's smile.
Tina walked stiffly into the commercial center. • • •
The night was misty, and the city was dotted with neon lights.
After the taxi stopped, Tina got off and walked to an office building. Then, she took the elevator upstairs. She had an appointment here tonight.
After reaching the target floor, she came out of the elevator and waited for two minutes.
Desmond, who was wearing an olive- green suit tonight, rushed up to greet Tina, with his flamboyant curly hair swaying.
He complained, "Tina, why are you so late?"
Tina looked at the watch. It seemed that she had arrived here five minutes earlier.
Not long ago, she received a phone call from Desmond, who asked her to come over and take the lunch box herself.
Tina replied Desmond that she didn't need the lunchbox urgently. She told him that he could send it back when he passed by the hospital, or he could even use express delivery service. However, Desmond refused to do so. He insisted that Tina must go to his office to pick up the lunchbox. Tina was out of choice. Finally, she could only agree to visit his office.
Desmond held up Tina's hand and said, "Come on... Let me show you around in my office!"
Tina felt helpless.
"It's just a lunchbox. Why does the process of returning a lunchbox have to be so grand..." She thought.
Desmond was responsible for the two entertainment companies under the Chin's Group, E. Entertainment and M. Entertainment, which were headquartered in this office building. The two companies occupied three floors of space. There were also many other companies on other floors.
Desmond was working overtime tonight, and there were only a few employees in the company.
He led Tina to his office, which was very spacious. Compared with the simple and low- key style of Wilson's office, the decoration of Desmond's office was extravagant. The red-colored office table was
of the shape of a peach pit.
Tina cooperated with Desmond's enthusiasm and looked around.
Desmond sat down on the high-back chair, picked up the pen on the document, and asked Tina with great expectation, "How is it? Am I very handsome tonight? Have you fallen in love with me?"
He wished to demonstrate his masculine charisma in front of Tina tonight, and that's why he had insisted on her coming over here.
Tina looked at the flamboyant olive-green suit of him and nodded. "Very handsome indeed... But I haven't fallen in love with you!"
"..." Desmond was greatly disappointed.
