The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 49

Worried that Roxanne might not take it well, Harrison decided to keep his lips sealed for now.

"Alright, if you can't ride, I'll give you a lift to the subway station. You go to work, and I'll head back to

the office." Roxanne gave Harrison a ride to the subway station. His long legs looked a bit awkward on

her petite electric bike.

Although his legs were a bit numb, Harrison thought the scenery today was particularly pleasing to the

eye. Especially the cool breeze made him feel refreshed.

When they reached the subway station, Roxanne looked at Harrison, who was pretending to catch the

subway, and called out, "Harrison!"

"Yes?" He turned to her, "What's up?"

Roxanne was a bit hesitant to say it out loud. She smiled at him, "I don't really know how to say this."

"What can't you say between us?" Harrison responded.

Roxanne thought for a moment, then firmly said, "True, let me just get it out there."

After getting a nod from Harrison, she looked him in the eye and decisively said, "Harrison, let's not

divorce, okay?"

Harrison furrowed his brows. This question somewhat puzzled him.

Roxanne went on, "Harrison, I didn't have a family, only Chloe. I feel warmth now that I'm married and

have you and Vincent Rodriguez. Vincent treats me better than my own father. This family makes me

very happy and content. I don't want to be without a family again. So, Harrison, let's not divorce, okay?

Whatever problems we have, we can discuss them, support each other, trust each other, and live a

good life, okay?"

Roxanne's gaze suddenly softened, touching his heart.

Originally, Harrison's intention was to divorce after a year.

However, hearing Roxanne saying this, he didn't have the heart to reveal his original plan.

He absolutely couldn't. If he said it, she would surely be devastated. After thinking for a while, he

smiled and said, "Alright!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He himself didn't expect that when he said "Alright", his tone was so firm.

Roxanne smiled a sweet smile with tears in her eyes. "Harrison, thank you for giving me a family."

She finally had a family.

Seeing her teary eyes, Harrison gently flicked her forehead. "Silly girl, you're getting emotional over

such a small thing?"

"Of course." Roxanne wiped her tears and said earnestly, "You don't know how much I've longed for a

family."

Harrison patted her head. His large hand rested on her head as if comforting her. "I promise you, we

won't divorce. We'll live a good life."

"Thank you!"

"How many times are you going to say 'thank you'?" Harrison flicked her forehead again, "Why so

formal between us?"

"I have to say it. You took a special leave to help me set up the live streaming site to fight against

Sebastian. You even stepped in to protect me when Sebastian was about to attack me. I'm really

grateful and moved."

"Really that moved?"

"Of course."

"So, have you fallen in love with me?" Harrison asked, watching Roxanne's reaction closely.

Roxanne's eyes were full of gratitude, but no more than that, "Of course not. Falling in love with

someone isn't that quick."

Harrison couldn't detect the disappointment in his own eyes. He gently patted Roxanne's forehead,

"You're too honest. Can't you just humor me?"

"So, you want me to fall in love with you?" Roxanne asked jokingly.

Harrison frowned and seriously said, "You're overthinking. To be honest, I don't have any feelings for

you yet. But I will dedicate myself to our life together."

"I believe you'll be a competent, good husband. Now, head to the subway station. I need to get back to

the office too."

Harrison pretended to head to the subway station. When Roxanne rode off on her electric bike, he

returned to Anthony's Rolls Royce parked nearby. Then, he called Alexander.

Before Harrison could speak, Alexander said excitedly, "Harrison, I watched your wife's live stream. I

was really moved. Sebastian is so despicable; it's unbearable. I really want to send people to teach him

a lesson."

Harrison said, "With all the stuff going on at the company, you still have time to watch Roxanne's live

stream?"

Alexander said, "I don't want to watch. I'm just really worried."

Harrison asked, "You're worried about my wife?"

Alexander's answer made Harrison's tone turn sour.

Alexander heard his dissatisfaction and laughed, "Are you jealous? Don't you know your wife's issue

has become the headline news online? It's such a sudden and drastic change, and it's heartbreaking.

Not just me, everyone online is heartbroken, okay?"

Harrison said, "You don't need to be heartbroken."

Alexander said, "Alright. Roxanne is your wife. It's enough that you're heartbroken."

Alexander laughed on the other end of the phone. He laughed at Harrison, who said he didn't like

Roxanne but did everything that suggested he did. Such contradiction was incomprehensible. Even

Anthony, who was driving, couldn't help but chuckle.

Harrison said seriously, "Let's talk business."

Alexander said, "You finally have the mind to deal with company matters. Tell me, is it about that

project?"

Harrison said, "I want you to investigate the incident Roxanne mentioned in her live stream about how

she was almost assaulted by a man in their village when she was young."

Alexander said, "I did overlook that. If it's really like Roxanne said, that guy needs to be punished

hard."

Harrison didn't bring it up around Roxanne. He was afraid that mentioning it might stir up old wounds.

This kind of thing can cast a lifelong shadow. But thank God Roxanne was tough. She knew how to

protect herself with a pair of scissors. Otherwise, her whole life would have been ruined since she was

seven.

Alexander felt really sorry for Roxanne too, "Harrison, I'll get on it straight away and deal with this

bachelor guy. If we find evidence, we'll make sure he rots in jail."

Harrison said, "If possible, it would be best if he didn't live to tell the tale."

Alexander said, "I know how to handle it, Harrison. Let me ask you if Roxanne was hurt by this

bachelor guy when she was seven, would you look down on her?"

Harrison had thought about this question when Roxanne was live broadcasting. He was very

affirmative, "No matter what she's been through, she's still the purest girl in the world."

Alexander said, "Harrison, congrats."

Harrison asked, "Congrats for what?"

Alexander said, "Congrats on stepping into the sacred territory of love. To truly love someone, you

won't care about their past."

Harrison said, "You're reading too much into it. I'm just doing my duty as a husband. My upbringing

doesn't allow me to judge someone based on their past."
