The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 110

Roxanne admits, she has a soft heart.

So, when Nathaniel told her that Sebastian had an incurable disease, and only had a month left to live,

she rushed to see him.

What's there to quarrel about when someone's life is hanging by a thread, right?

But she's no fool.

Sebastian had merely broken a bone, he wasn't dying.

"Roxanne, despite all the wrongs I've done, I'm still your father, the one who brought you into this

world. Are you going to hold a grudge against me forever?"

"I'm bedridden now, are you really going to look the other way and let me die?"

As she turned to leave, Roxanne's eyes were cold, saying,"You're not dying, you've just broken a bone.

Stop using death as a threat. And don't try to manipulate me."

Sebastian wiped his tears, "But I need someone to take care of me."

Roxanne replied, "That's your son Nathaniel's duty and responsibility."

Sebastian retorted, "But you're my daughter, you have a duty and responsibility too. It's against the law

if you neglect me."

Roxanne got worked up, "Are you threatening me with the law?"

"Isn't it so?" Sebastian adamantly said, "the children are supposed to take care of their parents."

"Sebastian, you should know why I'm not taking care of you."

Roxanne no longer argued with Sebastian about her being abandoned as a child.

Sebastian knew the truth well, so he started begging for mercy.

"Roxanne, I did wrong you in some ways, I apologize, isn't that enough?"

Could a mere apology erase all the hardships she went through as a child?

Even though she's living a decent life now and is always upbeat.

But the psychological scars from her childhood would take a lifetime to heal.

No one knew how painful it was for her to wake up crying in the middle of the night, reminiscing about

her unfortunate childhood.

She said coldly, "Sebastian, I don't accept your apology, and I won't be coming to the hospital to take

care of you. Go find your son."

The nurse finally understood.

So this old man was sick, and his son and daughter were reluctant to take care of him.

His son had run away.

His daughter also wanted to shirk her responsibility.

These people had no filial piety.

The nurse said angrily, "Madam, he's bedridden, how can you as his child avoid your responsibilities

like this? Don't you have any sense of filial piety? As his child, you left him here in the hospital, aren't

you ashamed?"

Ashamed?

Roxanne didn't feel it at all. Instead, she was calm and composed.

"Miss, what if your parents divorced when you were four and both of them considered you a burden

and didn't want you? They never gave you living expenses, didn't send you to school, and didn't care

whether you lived or died, but they both started new families with others, had new children, and lived

happily. When he got old, sick, and couldn't move, his beloved children no longer cared about him, and

he remembered he had a daughter like you, would you take care of him?"

The nurse didn't know how to respond.

So, her childhood was so tragic.

No wonder her heart was so cold.

Seeing the tears she was holding back in her eyes, the nurse couldn't help but feel a bit compassionate

and understood her coldness.

But the old man who was bedridden, his children didn't want to take care of him, it was indeed pitiful.

But that was how the world worked.

You reap what you sow.

Roxanne added, "Don't advise others to forgive if you haven't experienced their hardships."

With that, she turned around and walked away without looking back.

No matter how much Sebastian cried and apologized behind her, she didn't turn back.

The tear that had lingered in the corner of her eye finally fell silently.

She wiped it away, straightened her back, and walked away slowly.

She had been healing her childhood wounds all her life.

But she didn't want anyone to see her sad and painful side.

Even in front of her best friend Chloe, or her husband Harrison, she never showed it.

She forced a smile.

When she met with Chloe, Chloe didn't notice anything unusual.

But at dinner in the evening, Harrison noticed.

Harrison saw her mouth full of food, but she wasn't swallowing, her movements were halted, she was

in a daze, he couldn't help but worry.

"Roxanne, what happened to you today?"

She was fine and cheerful when she drove to the hospital with Chloe in the afternoon.

What happened after she returned that made her so absent-minded?

"Roxanne?"

It wasn't until Harrison called her the third time that she snapped back to reality, started chewing the

food in her mouth, and answered while chewing.

"I was thinking about the first batch of goods for Russia, it's going to be shipped in a few days, I need to

check on the quality at the factory."

It definitely wasn't work-related that made her so distracted.

Harrison was still not at ease, "Did anyone upset you?"

"Who dares to mess with me?" Roxanne stuffed her mouth with food.

"Really, nobody did?" Harrison asked.

"Do I look easy to mess with?"

"If something's bothering you, you must tell me." Harrison pinched her nose, "Got it?"

"Got it."

Although she agreed verbally, Roxanne didn't want to tell Harrison about Sebastian.

It's best not to share these annoying things to avoid affecting Harrison's mood.

As she ate, she discussed with him, "Harrison, I have to go on a business trip to Warmville tomorrow

morning."

"So soon?"

"I need to check on the quality of the first batch of goods for Russia."

"Do you have to go personally?"

"Right now, it's just Chloe and me in the company, Chloe has two kids, and I can't expect her to go."

Harrison stopped eating and looked at her.

She met his gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He asked, "How long will you be gone?"

"Probably a week."

A week?

They had been married for more than two months, he seemed to have never been away from her for

that long.

He had gotten used to having her around every day.

He frowned, "What if I miss you?"

Roxanne couldn't help but laugh.

"Harrison, I'm only going to be gone for a week, not a month."

"I'm serious," Harrison grumbled, looking upset. "A week is too long, I'll miss you."

"I'll send you videos every day. So you can see me every day." Roxanne said.

"That's not the same."

"Harrison, you've changed."

Harrison was silent.

"You weren't this intense when we first got married." Roxanne continued.

Harrison coolly admitted, "I can't live without you now."

"Alright, I'm only going for seven days. If the first batch of goods is successfully shipped, I'll come back,

okay?"

"Watching you become stronger and stronger every day, I'm starting to regret."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret encouraging you to start a business again."

She's so busy now, all she thinks about is how to make money. She has no time to enjoy life with him. If

she keeps being this busy, will she start to neglect him?

If he had known this would happen, he should have advised her to go to the Rodriguez Group and live

an easier life.

But she wouldn't accept a cozy life in the office.

That night, Roxanne was packing her luggage.

Harrison came to her room and saw her suitcase full of short sleeves and skirts, he couldn't help

frowning.

"It's already autumn in Warmville, with a cool weather. Are you planning to catch a cold with these

clothes?"

"The temperature in Warmville is that low? But it's still hot here."

"You know we're in Seraphim Haven, you should check the weather."

"I didn't think of that."

Harrison went to her wardrobe and picked out some jackets and pants for her.

He glanced at her suitcase again and frowned, "Where are your underwear?"

Roxanne looked down, she had indeed forgotten to pack her underwear.

"Harrison, you're really attentive."

She discovered another one of his great qualities.

She quickly went to the wardrobe and put three sets of underwear in her suitcase.

"Roxanne, do you like black?"

"Yes."

"What size do you wear?"

"Why are you asking?"

"I want to buy some for you."

"Who gives underwear as a gift?"

"Do you expect anyone else to buy you underwear as gifts?"

"Well, such things can only be gifted by a husband. I won't let anyone else gift them, only you can, is

that okay?"

The next morning, Harrison took Roxanne to the airport.

He helped her get her boarding pass, "I've booked your accommodation. After you get to Warmville, my

friend will pick you up at the airport. I'll send his phone number to your phone."

"You have friends in Warmville?" Roxanne was a little surprised.

Harrison helped her with her luggage check-in, "He's a good friend, don’t worry. I always helped him

before."

"Harrison, you have a lot of friends."

"I used to do business and travel frequently."

It was 30 minutes before her boarding time.

She had to go through security.

She said goodbye to Harrison, Harrison frowned slightly, "Did you forget something?"

"I didn't forget anything," Roxanne said. "You checked for me several times, what else can I forget?"

"Aren't you gonna give me a hug since you're leaving for a week?"

Harrison opened his arms, waiting for Roxanne to come into his embrace.

Roxanne smiled, walked towards him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked up at his

handsome face.

He was so tall that she had to stand on her tiptoes to kiss his face.

After kissing him, she finally stood fully on the ground, "Alright, I will really miss you. Don't make the

long face, now I'm starting to feel bad leaving you."

Harrison didn't respond.

He responded by lowering his head and gently kissing her.

With the experience from the previous nights, Harrison wasn't as stiff when he kissed her.

He took her lips.

His heartbeat sped up.

But his movements were still not experienced.

This was the airport, with people coming and going, Roxanne didn't feel comfortable.

She placed her hands on his firm chest, trying to push him away.

But she couldn't.

Harrison held her waist tightly, as if wanting more, like he wanted to completely own her.

With a strong push, she finally pushed him away, "Harrison, we're in public."

"So what?" Harrison looked carefree, unbothered. "We're legally married." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Even if we're legally married, we shouldn't overdo it." Roxanne glared at him, "Alright, I need to board

now. If you want to kiss me, wait until I come back from my trip."

"Kiss me again." Harrison hugged her slender waist again, gently pulling her close.

"You're greedy," Roxanne laughed.

She kissed him again, he responded her passionately, then let go of her.

Twenty meters away.

Alexander lightly nudged Samuel's arm, "Isn't that Harrison with Roxanne?"

Samuel smiled, "Yes. They're making out at the airport?"

Roxanne went through the security checkpoint and disappeared into the crowd. Only then did

Alexander and Samuel walk towards Harrison.

Alexander said, "Harrison, you've never had a girlfriend in 32 years, but now that you have one, you

can't stop. You even did PDA in a crowded airport, I’m surprised."

Harrison didn't respond, his eyes still on the security checkpoint.

He was still savoring that kiss and Roxanne's sweet lips.

Alexander said, "Roxanne just went through security, where is she going?"

Harrison simply replied, "Warmville."

Samuel said, "I see, so that small project in Warmville, but you insisted on going with us. Turns out it's

because you can't bear to be away from her."

Harrison glanced at Samuel, "Are you jealous?"

Samuel could only smile bitterly, "You're mocking me again."

Harrison said as he walked, "If you don't want to be single, then ask out person you like, don't waste

time."

Alexander was taken aback by Harrison's words, "Harrison, you said Samuel has a crush on someone.

Who is it? How come I don't know?"

Harrison said, "He's been head over heels for Nora Dawson. Didn't you know?"

Alexander said, "Samuel, Nora is a good girl. Don't you dare hurt her."

Samuel said, "Don't mind Harrison's rambling. I still want to enjoy a few more years of freedom,

roaming around the bustling world without any strings attached. Isn't that good?"

Harrison had already moved to another security check.

Behind him, Alexander slowed down his steps, grabbed Samuel and asked, "Samuel, you're not really

into Nora, are you?"

Hearing Nora's name, Samuel's heart raced, but he acted as if nothing happened:

"Have you ever seen me with an innocent and well-behaved girl before? I'm not into her type."

Alexander frowned, "But Harrison said you're crushing on Nora. He's usually spot on."

Samuel smirked.

His smile would make any girl weak in the knees.

"Alexander, why are you so uptight? I'm not going to bother Nora."

"I'm just reminding you, even if you like Nora, you and Nora can't possibly be together. My father-in-law

doesn't like playboys like you. He likes steady and responsible men."

"You're talking like you're very steady and responsible."

"Am I not?"

"Anyway, don't worry, I won't have any ideas about anyone, let alone Nora. We've grown up together. I

won't do anything to her."

Everyone thought of Samuel as a playboy.

They thought he roamed the bustling world without any strings attached.

They thought he was fickle and insincere to any woman.

But no one knew there was a gentle and well-behaved girl in his heart who had lived there for nearly

twenty years.

While checking in his luggage, Samuel signed the luggage receipt.

Accidentally, instead of his own name, he wrote Nora's.

Nora.

Nora!

Her name was deeply engraved in his heart and could not be erased.

But when Samuel lifted his head, looking at the always outstanding Harrison in the distance, his

shoulders couldn't help but droop.

He has been in love with Nora for almost twenty years.

And Nora has been in love with Harrison for almost twenty years, hasn't she?

......

Roxanne arrived safely in Warmville and was picked up by Harrison's friend.

This so-called friend was actually the housekeeper of Harrison's property in Warmville.

Having picked up Roxanne, he was very respectful to her, which made Roxanne a bit uneasy.

Arriving at the villa, Roxanne felt even more uneasy.

The residence Harrison had arranged for her was luxurious. There was a hot spring pool in front of the

villa, steaming hot.

Such a villa would cost at least 500 dollars for a night, wouldn't it?

She wanted to call Harrison.

But Harrison's phone was not reachable.

At that time, Harrison was still on the plane, which was to land at the Warmville airport in half an hour.

The housekeeper took Roxanne around, "Mrs. Rodriguez, if you need anything, please let me know."

Roxanne stared at the man in front of her, "James, what did you just call me?"
