The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 1

"Do you need me to fulfill your sexual needs?"

"What?" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Roxanne heard Harrison’s words clearly, but she felt somewhat embarrassed. Was he being that

direct?

"People often say that women's sexual desires become stronger when they reach thirty. Ms. Martinez,

you're twenty-eight now, so your desires in that regard should be quite strong. But I cannot be with a

woman I have no emotional connection with, so after marriage, I won't be able to fulfill your sexual

needs. Think carefully about marriage and getting a certificate before making a decision."

Suddenly, Roxanne didn't feel as awkward anymore. After all, they were both adults. It's a good thing

that Harrison can discuss the intimate aspects of a relationship so openly and directly. She also agreed

with his viewpoint.

However, from his words, she felt as though he believed that at twenty-eight, her sexual needs would

become very intense.

This made her suddenly feel a bit displeased, so she replied, "Vincent, I can't be with a man I have no

emotional connection with either. You can rest assured that by marrying you, I only want to resolve

certain current issues and find someone to share my life with. As for other matters, I truly have no

intentions."

She had been single for seven years, and now suddenly getting married had a reason behind it.

A week ago, while on a business trip with her good friend's husband, he knocked on her hotel room

door, abruptly embraced her, and confessed that he liked her and wanted to have sex with her.

She was terrified. She didn't know where the strength came from, and she fiercely hit him with an

object.

After returning from the business trip, she had initially planned to leave Seraphim Haven. However, she

had started a small company with her friend and her husband, and all her income came from there.

Additionally, she was still paying for a house, so she couldn't leave immediately and had to frequently

encounter this man.

She had thought about telling her good friend many times, but she was afraid her friend wouldn't be

able to accept this harsh reality, so she swallowed the words every time.

She hadn't betrayed her friend, but her friend's husband's confession made Roxanne feel extremely

guilty. So, she wanted to get married as soon as possible. As for how to handle her friend's husband,

that would require long-term consideration.

She met Harrison through Harrison's father. At that time, after experiencing a heartbreak, she went to

Marientown and encountered Vincent, who was also lost. They faced a wolf attack together.

They didn't explicitly know who saved whom, but in any case, they fought together and became friends.

Later, they were taken to the hospital and lost contact.

Until three months ago, they coincidentally ran into each other, and Vincent unexpectedly learned that

she had been single all these years, so he introduced his son to her.

In fact, she had been chatting with Harrison on WhatsApp for three months. Although it was said to be

three months, in reality, they only exchanged a few sentences.

When she saw Harrison, she didn't expect him to be so attractive in appearance. If he entered the

entertainment industry, he would definitely be a god-like figure. And he exuded a special aura.

But Roxanne wasn't particularly interested in handsome men, so her interest in him wasn't strong.

At this moment, Harrison furrowed his brow and said, "Actually, I don't quite agree with this marriage,

and I didn't expect to get the marriage certificate so soon."

Roxanne suddenly didn't know what to do. He didn’t want to get the marriage certificate? Did that mean

she’d remain single?

She immediately began to persuade him as best as she could. "I heard from Vincent that you have two

houses in Seraphim Haven, you have a small business, and you have some savings. But all of these

are your pre-marital assets. To avoid property disputes after marriage, I've prepared this prenuptial

agreement. I don't want any of your two houses or savings.

"Besides, my good friend and I have started a small company, and our income is relatively stable. If you

have any difficulties with your business, I can also help financially. If you have any other requests, as

long as it's not something illegal, I can agree to it."

She handed him the prenuptial agreement, but Harrison didn't take it. He stared at her with deep eyes,

and his thoughts were unreadable. "In that case, won't you be at a disadvantage?"

"There's no disadvantage," Roxanne replied firmly. "Those were originally your pre-marital assets. I

never thought about relying on a man to support me, nor did I intend to take advantage of him.

Besides, a good marriage should be about mutual support and equal treatment."

Such an independent woman? Harrison was somewhat surprised. His gaze deepened, and there was a

subtle hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at her.

Before coming here, he had done some research. The true reason Roxanne met her father was just as

her father said, they happened to meet and became friends.

Roxanne had no knowledge of the true strength of the Rodriguez family, nor did she intentionally

approach her father. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known her father for seven years without making

any requests to the Rodriguez family.

So, he didn't have anything to worry about.

Harrison decided to accept the prenuptial agreement she voluntarily prepared because the Rodriguez

family's properties and wealth were already substantial. With this agreement, it would indeed save him

a lot of trouble.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go," Harrison said, walking out first.

The two of them went together to obtain the marriage certificate. Roxanne followed behind Harrison.

She seemed small compared to him. Walking together felt a bit awkward. She purposely created some

distance, and Roxanne felt a little more comfortable that way.

From the initial meeting to taking photos and obtaining the marriage certificate, it took less than ten

minutes.

Roxanne became a married woman. She didn't have any special thoughts; she just wanted to inform

her good friend as soon as possible that she was married.

She carefully placed the marriage certificate in her bag. "Harrison, I have other things to do. I'll leave

now, and we can stay in touch through WhatsApp."

Before she could finish her sentence, she had already taken a few steps. Her slender figure

disappeared among the busy crowd.

Unable to see her anymore, Harrison continued to gaze in that direction, his brow slightly furrowed. Did

she just leave like that? This was completely different from those socialites who pursued him fervently.

It seemed like Roxanne only wanted the marriage certificate? This made Harrison feel relieved. At least

he wouldn't be annoyed by her.

After receiving the marriage certificate, Harrison returned home. Vincent had no special reaction to his

son and daughter-in-law returning to their respective homes after obtaining the certificate. Everything

went according to his expectations. He knew he had forcefully tied together two young people who had

no emotional connection.

When Vincent took the marriage certificate from his son's hand, a noticeable smile appeared on his

face. It had been a long time since he had seen his father genuinely happy. Ever since his mother

passed away seven years ago, his father had never truly smiled until now. He guessed that this new

daughter-in-law must have pleased his father.

"Congratulations on finding a daughter-in-law you like," Harrison thought. As long as his father was

happy, that was enough.

Vincent closed the marriage certificate. "Harrison, remember what you promised me. Move to

Roxanne's place tonight."

"I will," Harrison stood in front of his father. "And please remember our one-year agreement. If I still

can't fall in love with Roxanne within a year, I have the right to request a divorce, and you cannot urge

me to get married again in the future."

He handed the marriage certificate back to his father, and Vincent laughed. "Harrison, let's make a bet.

I bet you'll fall in love with Anne within three months. Do you dare to bet?"

"Three months?" Harrison smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his voice. "She's just an ordinary woman.

Are you overestimating her?"

Vincent laughed deeply. "Let's wait and see."

Looking at the marriage certificate he was handed, Harrison had only one thought. "It would be

troublesome if I lost it and had to get a replacement. Give it back to me when I divorce."

Vincent laughed nonchalantly. "After a year? By then, you might thank me because I've found you a

rare good wife."

Harrison didn't continue to argue with him about this meaningless topic. He didn't say anything and

went upstairs.

...

After returning to the company, it was already lunchtime. Roxanne searched for her best friend, but

couldn't find her. Instead, she was stopped by her best friend's husband, Oliver Lewis, in the office.

It was the first time Roxanne was alone with Oliver since he returned from his business trip. Oliver

looked at her with guilt and an unmistakable emotion in his eyes.

"Roxanne, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive that day. But I really like you, and I can't deceive my own

feelings."

Roxanne didn't want to make a big scene. She was also worried that someone might pass by and

overhear. She controlled her anger. If it weren't for this, she really wanted to give Oliver a beating. She

lowered her voice and asked sarcastically, "Oliver, what do you like about me?"

Without hesitation, Oliver replied, "You are capable, independent, tasteful, and charming. And you are

ambitious, constantly learning and improving, becoming more and more excellent. On the other hand,

Chloe, she neglects her appearance every day, lacks ambition, and is falling behind in society,

becoming more and more like a middle-aged woman. I have no interest in her at all, Roxanne. My heart

is only filled with you..."

Outside the door, Chloe heard her husband Oliver's words clearly.
