The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 109

Harrison's masculine vibe was like a heatwave, rushing towards Roxanne.

But when he kissed Roxanne, he seemed a bit shy and naive, only sticking to her lips without knowing

what else to do.

This made Roxanne, who was originally on edge, relax.

She laughed, and that laugh made Harrison even more nervous.

He gently lifted her chin, his eyebrows slightly creased, asking, "What's so funny?"

"Harrison."

Roxanne looked at him cheerfully, into his eyes that were softer than a starry galaxy.

"I feel like you've never kissed anyone before, you have no experience."

Her laugh was a happy one, like she had discovered a treasure.

Harrison, however, misunderstood and thought she was making fun of him, which made him feel a bit

embarrassed.

He pinched her nose and said in a low voice, "You little rascal, you can't kiss either and you have the

nerve to laugh at me?"

Roxanne's laughter became even louder.

He was 32, and she was 28.

Both almost middle-aged, yet they had saved their first kiss for each other.

This really proves the saying: only those who share the same values can be together.

"What's so funny? It's my first time kissing someone."Harrison admitted openly, then playfully brushed

her nose, saying, "You should be happy that your husband doesn't have a lot of ex-girlfriends."

"I am happy, that's why I'm laughing so hard." Roxanne replied.

"You're laughing at me for being dumb, aren't you?" Harrison didn’t believe her.

"No, I'm not laughing at you for being dumb, I'm really happy."

Harrison again lifted her chin, looking serious, "Stop laughing."

Roxanne held back her laughter, "So... should we try again?"

Harrison didn't answer.

His reply was another kiss.

Two people who didn't know how to kiss, kissing without any skill.

There was no magical feeling, just awkwardness.

Then, Roxanne's stomach growled with hunger, interrupting their experimental kiss.

Roxanne escaped, "I'm hungry."

She was really hungry.

She wasn't interested in kissing anymore, because other than awkwardness, there was no other

feeling.

She wanted to eat quickly.

Harrison, who was holding her tightly, didn't plan on letting her go, "I'm hungry too."

He had been hungry for 32 years.

Roxanne didn't understand his meaning, grabbed his hand, wanting to go to the dining table, "Then

hurry up, let's get something to eat."

"I only want to eat you." Harrison looked at her affectionately.

But she avoided him, "Stop joking around. Hurry up, if we don't eat soon, I’m going to collapse from

hunger."

She pulled him to the dining table.

She served him food, "Eat properly, stop staring at me."

"You're very beautiful." Harrison complimented.

Roxanne served herself food and while eating heartily, she teased him, "You don’t seem to get shy at

all!"

He leisurely passed her a piece of steak, saying seriously, "If I was too shy, how could I have married

you?"

Feeling good today, Roxanne ate lots of food.

Watching her eat so inelegantly, gobbling down a large piece of steak, Harrison frowned, saying, "You

eat so fast, don't you chew, it will affect your digestion. No wonder you never gain weight no matter how

much you eat."

"Isn't it good not to gain weight? Do you want me to become fat?"

"Eat slower."

"But it's too delicious, I can't stop."

"You're really greedy."

"But I'm also very happy."

Harrison was speechless.

"Harrison, this steak you made is really good."

"You should eat some vegetables too, to balance your nutrients."

Harrison passed her some salad.

She didn't want to eat vegetables, so she forked another piece of steak, "I want to eat meat."

"I've never seen a carnivore as skinny as you."

Harrison forked some vegetables to her mouth, forcing her to eat, "Open up."

Roxanne bit down on the vegetables he fed her, and laughed, "Harrison, you're not worried that you’ll

go broke by feeding me because I eat so much meat, are you?"

What a joke!

As the president of Rodriguez Group, how could he ever be broke?

He just thinks that eating only meat and no vegetables is not balanced.

After dinner, Roxanne got up to clean up the dishes.

Harrison gently knocked her hand, stopping her from cleaning up.

Then he signaled her, "I'll do the dishes, you go eat an orange."

"I just ate, I don't want to eat an orange."

Harrison peeled an orange for her, forced it into her hand, and said, "If you don't eat vegetables, at

least eat some fruit. Otherwise, I won't make you steak next time."

"Alright, I get it, balanced nutrition, I will eat it."

She laughed and ate a slice of orange, watching him work in the kitchen like a diligent little bee.

Who knows if he will still be this diligent after the honeymoon period?

She's seen many men who work hard during the passionate and honeymoon periods, taking the

initiative to do all sorts of things.

But after the honeymoon period, they become lazy and the novelty wears off, leaving all the housework

to the woman.

She hopes Harrison can keep this habit.

While he was doing the dishes, she was not idle either.

She cleaned up the house thoroughly.

After a while, it was time for a shower and bed.

They each returned to their own rooms.

Harrison at the door, called Roxanne who was about to enter her bedroom.

Roxanne turned back, responding to him sweetly.

"Roxanne." Harrison looked at her seriously, "The kiss I just shared with you was the first time I initiated

a kiss with a woman, and it was my first kiss."

Last time when she kissed him, it wasn't really a kiss.

This time was his real first kiss.

He felt it was necessary to explain this to her.

She laughed happily, "I know."

He didn't say anything else.

He seemed to have run out of topics to chat about.

But he didn't seem to want to go back to his room either.

They just quietly stared at each other.

Just being able to quietly watch her like this, felt like the most beautiful time for him.

Roxanne also didn't know what to talk about, so she just quietly looked at him.

After a while, Harrison spoke again, "Roxanne, goodnight, sweet dreams."

"Goodnight!"

After pushing the door and entering, Roxanne leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

She thought that Harrison looking at her so affectionately just now, meant that he wanted to sleep in

her room tonight.

This made her feel a bit nervous.

She was nervous because she had no experience in such matters.

If Harrison had indeed popped the question, she wouldn't have turned him down.

But Harrison seemed like a cool cucumber.

Thinking of his first awkward move to kiss her, Roxanne couldn't help but crack a smile.

Only a man who really respects himself would keep his first kiss till he's 32, right?

She might be considered really lucky to get this man.

Feeling happy, Roxanne headed for a shower.

Outside the door, Harrison was still standing there.

Did he just miss a golden opportunity?

What was he mulling over?

They were legally married. If anything happened between them, it would be completely lawful.

But the thought of not having come clean about his true identity, did make him feel a tad guilty.

He was afraid that if he suddenly spilled the beans, he might scare her off.

That night, Roxanne slept like a baby.

But Harrison was tossing and turning.

The next day.

The weather was nice.

Roxanne and Harrison were up with the lark and had breakfast downstairs.

Then, they hopped on their e-bikes and headed for the car dealership in a good mood.

Upon reaching the dealership, Harrison texted Alexander the name and location of the place.

Alexander was puzzled and texted back, "Harrison, why are you telling me the location of a car

dealership?"

Harrison replied, "Roxanne wants to buy a car."

Alexander said, "So just accompany her, why are you telling me?"

Harrison shot back, "What? You expect my wife to pay for her own car?"

Alexander quickly got the hint, "Alright, I'll sort it out."

Roxanne had her mind set on a domestic car costing a little over ten grand.

Domestic cars were now on par with imported ones, and her budget was just a bit over ten grand.

After the test drive, she signed the contract and took out her bank card.

“I’m ready to pay.”

The salesperson said with a smile, “Ms. Martinez, before you pay, you should enter our lucky draw.

We’re having a promotion, and the grand prize is a Porsche.”

Roxanne thought for a moment, “Nah, I’ll pass on the lucky draw.”

Harrison asked her, “Why not take a shot when you have the chance?”

“It’s just a marketing gimmick. The odds are probably as slim as winning the lottery.”

The salesperson thought to himself, “Slim as winning the lottery? It’s a sure win! It’s tailor-made for

you. The lucky draw is specifically organised for you. Please enter the draw. If you don't, I can't

complete my task.”

In a bid to persuade her, the salesperson said, “Ms. Martinez, even if you don’t win the grand prize,

there are other prizes. Everyone will win something.”

She asked, “What other prizes?”

“An induction cooker, fridge, air conditioner, quilt, TV, etc.”

She didn't need any of those things, “Let’s just skip it. I’m kind of in a rush, let’s get on with the

payment.”

Harrison said, “Why not give it a shot since there’s a chance? If we win an air conditioner, we can give

it to Chloe.”

The salesperson handed over the lucky draw box to them.

Roxanne nonchalantly picked one out: Grand Prize, a Porsche Cayenne 2023 Platinum Edition.

Grand prize? A Porsche?

She had seen the advertisement for this car at the bus stop before. It was priced over a hundred grand.

She had really won the grand prize.

She wasn’t seeing things, right?

The salesperson feigned surprise and said, “Ms. Martinez, congratulations. Among hundreds of our

stores nationwide, there’s only one grand prize, and you’ve won it. You’re really lucky.”

Even as she drove off without paying a dime, it still hadn’t quite sunk in.

She had really won the grand prize?

Could something so good really be true?

She turned to Harrison from the passenger seat, still unable to believe it, “Harrison, am I really this

lucky to win such a big prize? Is this some kind of a trap?”

Harrison smiled and said, “What trap could there be? You didn’t pay anything.”

Even if there was a trap, it was just his excessive doting on her.

She was over the moon, “Something feels off because I didn’t pay anything.”

“The Rodriguez family frequently holds such promotions. Like the last online shopping promotion where

someone won ten million dollars. What's so strange about that?”

“It does seem like that. Am I really this lucky?”

Harrison stayed silent.

“No, no, no, Harrison, I realised that ever since I met you, I’ve been extremely lucky. Harrison, you've

made me lucky."

Driving carefully, Harrison replied, “It's the good luck that I bring to my wife.”

Roxanne told Chloe about this.

Chloe was in disbelief, “So you’re saying you drove off in a car worth over a hundred grand without

paying anything?”

“Would I lie to you?”

It wasn’t until Roxanne drove over to meet Chloe that she had to believe it.

Chloe and Roxanne were discussing the car, while Amelia, holding Austin, stood in front of Harrison,

“Mr. Harrison, this is the car you bought for Roxanne, isn’t it?”

“Right,” Harrison replied, “Just keep it under wraps for now.”

Amelia assured him, “Don't worry, I won't spill the beans.”

Roxanne patted the car, “Chloe, hop in! I can take you for a spin.”

“Nah, I’m good.” Chloe frowned, “I have to go to the hospital to pick up Aria. She’s getting discharged

today.”

Roxanne opened the car door, “Then let me drop you at the hospital. We can pick up Aria together.”

She, Chloe and two others went to the hospital.

Chloe was packing up Aria’s stuff in the ward.

Roxanne was at the payment counter.

After settling the bill, she bumped into Nathaniel.

He was her half-brother from the same father.

Of course, he might not acknowledge Roxanne as his sister.

And Roxanne didn’t want to acknowledge him as her brother either.

They saw each other but neither of them said hello.

“Roxanne, I was just about to call you. Since I’ve bumped into you here, I’ll just tell you in person. Our

father is seriously ill and in the hospital. As his daughter, you should pay him a visit.”

Roxanne didn’t have an ounce of affection for Sebastian.

"He's your old man, not mine."

"Roxanne, why are you so coldblooded, so heartless? You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our dad. He's

very sick, can't you just go see him?"

It's not that Roxanne was heartless.

It's because Sebastian disowned her first.

But when she heard the words "very sick", Roxanne's heart did a little flip.

Very sick...

She asked, "What happened to him?"

"Cancer. It's in the late stage. He's probably only got a month left."

Maybe it was the last shred of sentiment for her old man, Roxanne hesitantly followed Nathaniel to

Sebastian's sickroom.

Nathaniel was a crafty one.

When he saw Roxanne stepping into Sebastian's sickroom, he got out of there right away, and bumped Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

into the nurse chasing down bills outside.

He pointed at Roxanne in the sickroom and told the nurse, "Nurse, that lady there is Sebastian's

daughter. If you've got any bills to settle, go to her."

With that, Nathaniel left there quickly.

The nurse came in and handed Roxanne the bill, "your father's cards are all declined. You need to

settle this bill."

That's when Roxanne realized, Nathaniel was gone.

She finally understood what was happening; he wanted to pass Sebastian's bill onto her.

And when Roxanne stepped into Sebastian's sickroom, she found out that Sebastian was actually in

orthopedics. He just had a second fracture and couldn’t move , not dying from late staged cancer.

Nathaniel, in an attempt to avoid responsibility, was quite the storyteller.

She handed the bill back to the nurse, "You should look for his son, not me."

She turned to leave, and Sebastian whined from behind, "Roxanne, do you really hate me that much?

I'm stuck in bed and can't move, can't you forgive me?"
