A Crazy One-night Stand

Chapter 8: You Were the One Who Wanted to End It

Alina was not intimidated by Mrs. Anderson. She told them that she would consider it. After their

departure, she contacted Ken. She trusted that Ken did not betray her. She hoped Ken would deny that

Anne's child was his and that he was loyal to Alina.

However, her hopes were dashed. Ken said to her coldly, "Alina, let's break up. I have no desire to see

you ever again!"

Previously when he declared his undying love for her, she believed his words!

Now that he wanted to break up, she will respect his decision and leave as he wished.

Alina was neither unreasonable nor desperate.

Mrs. Anderson and Anne met with Alina again. Giving her a cheque of five million dollars as

compensation, they asked her to leave Ken. Alina was already heartbroken and refused to take the

cheque. She did not want them to look down on her.

Mrs. Anderson forced Alina to accept the cheque, saying that if she did not accept the money, she

might turn back on her promise later. Alina took the cheque under her insistence and donated the

whole sum to charity. She wanted nothing to do with them any longer.

It had been three years. She didn't expect to see Anne again.

"Seems like life has not been kind to you, Alina. Look at your complexion! Aren't you only 24 this year?

Judging by your skin, I could have sworn that you look much older. Is your job stressing you out?"

Anne's words dripped with sarcasm. She was different from three years ago. Now, Anne was proud and

haughty, bragging to Alina about her good fortune.

Alina just smiled. She took a sip of orange juice and retorted, "How I live my life is of no consequence

to you, Anne. Oh no, I meant Mrs. Ken Anderson. You must be really free. I never expected you to be

such a nosy person."

Anne's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alina, you are still so impudent. I really don't

understand how did Ken fall in love with you back then."

Alina almost burst into laughter. "Are you kidding me? You were disrespectful to me first. Have you

forgotten how you scolded me on the phone that day? Do you think your words befit your status as a

member of the Anderson Family?"

"Alina, you are going too far!" Anne stood up angrily. She stared at Alina, daggers shooting from her

eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you!" Alina said carelessly and nudged the glass of orange juice to Anne.

"Do you need to release your anger by splashing me with some juice? I wouldn't mind at all. After all,

you love being a drama queen, don't you?"

"Hmph!" Anne sat back down in a huff.

"Why, it's not like you to give up a chance to be melodramatic!" Alina downed the orange juice in one

gulp. "Mrs. Anderson, I trust that you have nothing else to say to me? Unlike you, my time is very

precious as I need to work to survive. Goodbye!"

"Where are your manners, Alina? Anne even treated you to a drink, shouldn't you be grateful? You

used to be so gentle and polite when we were together, were you just putting on a show?" A familiar

voice spoke up.

Alina looked up and met Ken's eyes.

Her heart was thumping like crazy in her chest. After three years, her heart still skipped a beat

whenever she saw his face or heard his voice. Bitterness and anger overwhelmed Alina.

This man had no right to speak to her like that.

She held her gaze without flinching. Alina said with a nonchalant smile, "Mr. Anderson, I would like to

clarify something. Mrs. Anderson did not pay anything for me. Why should I be thankful?"

After saying that, Alina placed a twenty-dollar bill on the table. "Keep the change," she said and got up

to leave.

Ken suddenly grabbed Alina's wrist. His tone was mocking. "What, trying to escape? Are you afraid to

be around me? Is it difficult for you to face me after what you have done?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Alina snorted and said sarcastically, "Yes, yes. Everything is my fault. It is because I couldn't satisfy

you, that's why you had to cheat on me! I'm terribly sorry." She couldn't be bothered to argue about

what had happened in the past. There was no meaning because it would not change anything.

Ken tightened his grip and said in a cold voice, "How dare you!"

Alina was silent for a moment. She raised her head bravely and looked at Ken with a smile. "Ken, it has

been so long. Don't you think it's childish and ridiculous to talk about the past? I used to love you, then I

hated you, now I am sorry for you. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Besides, you were

the one who wanted to end it, weren't you?"
