The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 142

Roxanne's mind was clearly somewhere else.

Harrison, who had just been handling everything smoothly, finally let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, when Roxanne asked him about the news of Seraphim Haven's richest man, he had been on

edge.

He was afraid his identity would be exposed.

Luckily, soon after the news was released today, he had his photo with Vincent, both wearing masks,

completely deleted.

Right now, he didn't want to be distracted.

He just wanted to be fully engaged with Roxanne, to quench the longing he had been nursing for the

past twenty-two days.

He held Roxanne, leading her to the bathroom.

He turned on the shower.

Hot water poured down.

Inside the glass door, fog quickly filled the air.

Clothes were thrown out one by one.

Soon, the floor was a mess.

When their passion was reaching its peak, the phone in the pocket of the suit pants on the floor was

ringing off the hook.

Harrison's kisses were already on Roxanne's chest.

She gently pushed him and said, "Harrison, the phone!"

"Ignore it!"

Harrison, holding her waist, pulled her closer.

"Harrison, answer the phone."

"No."

"What if it's your dad?"

She had just called Vincent that afternoon.

Vincent said he was weeding alone.

She was worried he might have an emergency.

Roxanne pushed away Harrison, who was looking at her with deep affection.

"We've waited for twenty-two days, and we can continue after the call."

Her bare feet stepped out of the glass door onto the dark carpet outside, immediately leaving thin

traces of water.

She bent over to pick up the suit pants on the floor and pulled out the phone from the pocket.

Crystal clear water droplets slid down her slender body.

The falling water droplets made it even harder for Harrison to restrain himself.

He pulled Roxanne back in.

On the phone screen, the call was still coming in.

Roxanne blocked his kiss with her hand, pointing to the caller ID on the phone screen.

"Harrison, it's really your dad. You should answer the call."

Harrison frowned.

Why did he have to call at this moment?

What a buzzkill.

Just as he was about to hang up, Roxanne had already dodged to the back and answered the call.

"Vincent!" She glared at Harrison, signaling him to stop messing around.

Vincent was very happy to hear Roxanne's voice, "Roxanne, is Harrison home? Are you two together?"

"We're both at home." Roxanne, wary of Harrison, who was always ready to make a move, said,

"Harrison is taking a shower."

"Alright."

Vincent was a bit worried about today's news photo.

He tentatively asked, "Roxanne, is everything alright between you and Harrison? Are you guys okay?"

"Why are you asking all of a sudden?" Roxanne was confused.

Vincent seemed a bit embarrassed, "I'm just checking in."

Since Harrison was taking a shower, he might as well chat with Roxanne.

After all, he liked talking to Roxanne.

He loved Roxanne as if she were his own daughter.

They chatted about trivial matters.

At this point, Harrison was getting impatient.

He blurted out, "Dad, do you want a grandchild or not?"

"Are you done with your shower?" Vincent asked.

"I'm in the shower." Harrison snatched the phone from Roxanne.

Before hanging up, he added, "I'm taking a shower with my wife right now. Don't call and interrupt us."

Harrison quickly hung up the phone and put it on a corner shelf.

Vincent laughed when he heard his voice.

His wish to hold his little granddaughter was about to be fulfilled.

He could imagine how cute his little granddaughter would be when she was born.

Vincent thought he should prepare some clothes for his little granddaughter, like princess dresses, little

hats, little socks, and little gloves.

In the East Adjacent Estates.

"Harrison." Roxanne scolded him, "Why did you talk to your dad like that just now? You made me feel

so embarrassed."

"I just stated the facts." Harrison replied calmly, "Do you want me to lie to my dad?"

"Even if you did lie, why did you have to say I was showering with you."

Roxanne felt extremely embarrassed.

"I never liked lying." With that, Harrison wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close.

"But..."

Harrison leaned down, kissing her lips, interrupting her words.

Hot water kept gushing from the shower.

The steam in the bathroom was getting thicker.

On the foggy glass door, a pair of small palms pressed on cheerfully, as if trying to grip something

tightly.

Until Harrison's big hand covered hers, holding it tight.

Their hands held each other tightly.

They kept knocking against the glass door.

After a while, Roxanne's small palms slipped down as if all her strength had been drained.

She gently hugged Harrison's waist, resting her head on his chest.

"Harrison, can we not do this in the bathroom next time? The glass door is too hard. I prefer the soft

bed."

"That's because you're getting better and better at arousing my desire!" He lightly touched her nose,

kissing her face.

"I'm out of energy. Could you help me wash again?"

"Sure!"

After Harrison helped her wash, he wrapped her in a bath towel.

Then he carried her back to the bedroom.

Roxanne laid down on the soft bed.

Harrison went to put on a pair of pajamas.

When he came back, he sat on the edge of the bed, let Roxanne rest on his lap, and carefully dried her

hair.

Probably because she was tired, Roxanne fell asleep quickly.

The light shone on her watery face. Under her seaweed-like hair, her face looked even more delicate.

Harrison's long fingers passed through her hair, finally stopping on her face, unwilling to pull away.

His little woman, his little sprite!

She quietly barged into his life.

Up until this point, Harrison still couldn't believe how quickly he had fallen head over heels for a

woman.

Before he met her, he never believed in love.

However, when she entered his life, he began to believe in true love.

He believed that Roxanne was his soulmate.

Just sitting there, watching her sleep peacefully, was the most valuable thing in the world to him.

If he could do that until the end of time, he would be more than willing to.

The next day.

Roxanne arrived at the office full of energy.

Her relationship with Harrison was getting better and better.

Her business with Chloe was also improving.

They had hired a few new employees that day.

Three of them were to assist Chloe in expanding their overseas online business.

Another one was in finance, and the last one was a receptionist.

Their company was gradually growing.

That night, Roxanne took everyone out for a seafood dinner.

In private, Roxanne teased Chloe, "So, Chloe, how does it feel to be the boss for the first time?"

"Stop messing with me. I don't look like a boss. I'm just constantly learning and adapting."

After ordering their seafood, they headed to the private dining room.

They were followed by an uninvited guest, Nathaniel Martinez.

After leaving Rodriguez Group, Nathaniel got into a highly influential state-owned enterprise in

Seraphim Haven through his grandfather and mother's connections.

He served as the deputy chief financial officer.

This position was higher than his previous one at Rodriguez Group.

Now, Nathaniel's life was going smoothly.

The vice chairman next to Nathaniel was a short, chubby man, a typical senior leader in a state-owned

enterprise.

When he saw Roxanne and Chloe walk into the private dining room, his small, lecherous eyes were

almost glued to Roxanne.

"Her legs are so long," he said.

"Mr. Duncan, do you like this type of woman?" Nathaniel asked.

"Such a tall, beautiful woman was truly captivating," Mr. Duncan said, itching inside.

"Mr. Duncan, to tell you the truth, that long-legged beauty is my half-sister. If you're interested, I can

arrange something for you. But in return, you have to promise me one thing."

"She's really your sister?"

"Absolutely true."

"If your sister is willing to keep me company for a while, I'll make sure you live a life of luxury."

"Mr. Duncan, I'll arrange it."

Mr. Duncan's mind was filled with images of Roxanne's perfect body, especially those long, slender

legs of hers.

He was looking forward to touching them, believing it would be quite enjoyable.

Nathaniel wanted to use this as a way to win over Mr. Duncan.

Although Mr. Duncan was only a deputy leader, he held important political connections in Imperial City.

As long as he could win over Mr. Duncan, his position in the state-owned enterprise would be more

secure.

The next day.

Roxanne received a call from Sebastian Martinez.

The weather was clear that day, but Roxanne's mood immediately turned sour.

Sebastian put on a nice act on the phone.

"Roxanne, I've thought it over. I really should give you one of the two houses I bought for Nathaniel.

After all, you're my daughter, and I owe you a lot."

What a joke!

Does the sun rise from the west?

Of course not.

Roxanne would sooner believe the sun rises from the west than Sebastian's words.

"Get to the point, and I don't have time for your nonsense."

"Roxanne, you and your brother should stop the legal battle over my property. I'll just give you a house

directly."

"Good, that saves us the lawsuit."

This lawsuit was suggested by Harrison.

As a parent's child, they should be treated equally.

Sebastian's property should be divided and given to her.

Not because she was greedy for the wealth but because she was worried that Sebastian might ask for

her support again in the future.

In that case, she could sell the property she got from Nathaniel to support Sebastian.

The most complicated relationship in the world was family.

Sebastian was her biological father after all.

There were many things that she couldn't simply get rid of by being tough.

So she took Harrison's advice and sued Nathaniel for property division a while ago.

The court was about to hear the case soon.

And now he was calling to offer her a house?

There must be a plot.

The next day, Roxanne met with Nathaniel and Sebastian as agreed.

Sebastian and Nathaniel were acting like completely different people, not only offering the house to her

voluntarily but also inviting her for a meal.

They came to the private dining room.

Nathaniel ordered a lot of dishes.

Sebastian also said many apologetic and guilty words.

"Roxanne, I'm really sorry for leaving you alone in the countryside back then. I didn't raise you, nor did I

pay for your education. I want to make it up to you."

Make up for what?

She would sooner believe pigs could fly than Sebastian's words.

Nathaniel chimed in and said, "Yes, sister, I've reflected on my actions. I was wrong before. I shouldn't

have treated you that way, nor should I have kept both of Dad's houses to myself, not giving you any

and expecting you to support Dad alone. I was wrong. I'll correct it. Can we get along well from now

on?"

There must have been a reason for their strange behavior.

Roxanne didn't say anything, but she began to wonder what the father and son were up to.

Nathaniel raised his glass and said, "Sister, it's rare for our family to be together. Come on, let's make a

toast."

Roxanne also raised her glass, pretending to clink glasses with them.

Nathaniel drank his wine and said, "Sister, I've already drunk. You don't have to if you don't want to."

"Since you both said so, let's get along well as a family from now on." Roxanne also took a sip.

When she downed the drink, a sly and malicious smirk flashed across Nathaniel's eyes.

But it was just a fleeting moment.

Several minutes later, Roxanne collapsed onto the table like a yanked out onion.

Nathaniel nudged her a few times.

"Nathaniel, she's not responding; she's passed out, right?" asked Sebastian.

Nathaniel nudged her again. "She must be totally passed out. She drank my special medicine I got

from abroad. There's no way she wouldn't pass out."

"Then hurry up and bring Mr. Duncan in. Once you've dealt with him, you can have your way in this

state-owned enterprise, right?"

"Of course, then we can live the good life."

"All right, as long as it can stabilize your connections, having her sleep with someone once is not a big

deal."

After all, Sebastian never cared about Roxanne.

Sebastian didn't care at all whether Roxanne would feel pain when she woke up.

As for the word 'kinship,' Roxanne was long numb to it.

Her heart wouldn't hurt anymore. But hearing Sebastian's words, she couldn't control herself and was

shaking all over with anger.

How could this man do such a terrible thing?

She really wanted to beat Sebastian to a pulp.

Her wounded heart was ruthlessly torn open by Sebastian, deeply hurt by him.

Roxanne's seemingly strong heart finally crumbled.

At that moment, her heart was in so much pain that it almost stopped beating.

Seeing her body shaking, Sebastian thought she hadn't completely lost consciousness and asked,

"Nathaniel, look, your sister is still shaking. Has she not completely lost consciousness? Should we

pour more alcohol into her?"

"Hasn't she passed out?"

Nathaniel reached out to touch Roxanne's arm.

Suddenly, a slender hand tightly grabbed Nathaniel's hand and squeezed hard.

"Ah... Dad, she's still conscious; come help me!" Nathaniel winced in pain.

He wanted to fight back, but his hand was squeezed by Roxanne so hard that he couldn't.

Nathaniel knew how strong Roxanne was. He was so scared he called out, "Dad, come help me!"

Sebastian picked up a bottle of wine, about to smash it on Roxanne's arm.

Roxanne quickly dodged his attack, kicking Sebastian and the bottle of wine he was holding away with

one foot.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Nathaniel pushed her and asked, "Roxanne, how could you hit NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

your father? That's unfilial."

"Do I have to let you guys give me to your boss?" Roxanne glared furiously at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel raised his voice, "How can you glare at me? It's an honor for you to be fancied by Mr.

Duncan."

"I don't need his favor."

Furious, Roxanne gave Nathaniel a good beating.

They dared to have such filthy thoughts about her.

Go to hell!

Not until she was too exhausted to lift a finger did Roxanne let go of Nathaniel.

"Don't let me see you again. Every time I see you, I will give you a beating."

Before leaving, Roxanne gave Sebastian a glance, her eyes full of despair.

Scared she would hit him, Sebastian took a step back.

Coldly, Roxanne said, "Sebastian, you're not even fit to be a human."

From now on, she would regard him as dead.

On the way home, Roxanne felt very tired.

Partly because of the fight just now, which took a lot of her energy. Partly because her heart was

aching.

She drove home, sat on the sofa, and stared blankly.

Just then, Harrison came home. As soon as he entered the door, even before he had a chance to

change his shoes, he hurried over to the sofa and picked up Roxanne.

"Anne, what happened?" he held her and gently stroked her hair.

Seeing Harrison, Roxanne weakly asked, "Harrison, why are you back?"

"What happened?" Harrison asked with concern, ignoring her question.

Roxanne didn't answer. She suddenly threw herself into Harrison's arms and cried, "My love, you're all I

have left. You must not leave me and do not hurt me, okay?"

Her own parents were so heartless to her.

She had just emerged from the shadows of her childhood.

Why did Sebastian have to do this to her?

He actually wanted to knock her out and give her to an old man.

In fact, Harrison knew what had happened to her that day.

He had always had his bodyguard, Jack, secretly protect her.

Jack also told him what had happened.

Originally, Jack wanted to go into the private room and beat up Nathaniel and Sebastian, but Roxanne

solved it herself, and Jack couldn't intervene.

He called Harrison, who promptly returned to her side without delay.

She had such a horrible family that it broke Harrison's heart.

How could such a good girl be treated so ruthlessly?

After comforting her for a long time, listening to her talk about her feelings for a while, and coaxing her

to sleep, only then did Harrison get up.

He was going to deal with Sebastian and Nathaniel harshly.

Twenty minutes later, Nathaniel was summoned back by his grandfather, Tremaine Thorne.

A slap landed on Nathaniel's face.

"Grandpa, why are you hitting me?"

Tremaine was furious as he said, "You've offended the richest man in Seraphim Haven, you know?"

"Grandpa, when did I offend the richest man in Seraphim Haven? I've never even seen him; I don't

even know what he looks like. Where would I go to offend him?"

"But he says you've been giving his wife a hard time repeatedly."

"Grandpa, this is even more impossible. I don't even know his wife."

Another slap, hard on Nathaniel's face.

Tremaine was shaking with rage as he stated, "You still have the nerve to argue? Now you're coming

with me to see Mr. Harrison and apologize to him properly. If you can't get Mr. Harrison's forgiveness,

you can kiss my fortune goodbye."
