The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 113

Hazel grabbed her phone and glanced at the screen.

It was Harrison again.

Annoyed, she gently tapped her hand on Alexander's chest.

"Babe, why does your friend always call at such inconvenient times? It's so annoying."

Alexander gently moved her off of him and tried to soothe her, "Let me take this call first."

He was also slightly irritated.

He was just flirting with Hazel and was interrupted.

"Harrison, your timing is impeccable."

Harrison, "Don't tell me you're still in bed with Hazel?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Can you control yourself a bit?"

"Harrison, you haven't been with Roxanne yet, have you? You don't know what it's like, so don't preach

to me."

Harrison was speechless.

"Maybe once you have a taste, you'll be even more out of control than I am."

"You think I can't control myself like you do?"

"We'll see."

"I have something important to say."

"Go ahead, what is it?"

Harrison explained the situation with Chloe and Aria to Alexander.

From the first time Alexander met Chloe and learned about the domestic violence she suffered from her

despicable husband, he always regarded her as family.

It could be because Alexander's sister had also been a victim of domestic violence and had gotten a

divorce.

So, Alexander felt sympathy and compassion for Chloe like he would for his own family.

Hearing that Chloe was abused, Alexander became worried.

"Alright, don't worry, I'll be right there."

"Don't blow my cover."

"Don't worry."

Hazel, sitting next to him, looked somewhat disappointed.

"Alexander, is it about Harrison's wife's friend again?"

"I'll go handle it."

"Can you not go?"

Alexander explained Chloe's situation to Hazel.

After hearing it, Hazel showed understanding.

"Chloe really has it tough, single-handedly raising a child after divorce and being bullied."

"You go and give that naughty kid a good lesson."

Although Hazel and Chloe didn't have any personal connection, they were both women.

Hazel felt sympathy for a divorced woman raising a child alone, knowing how hard it can be.

After all, she was a friend of Harrison's wife, right?

If they could help, they should.

"Alexander, and that naughty kid's parents, you should teach them a lesson too."

"I knew you had the strongest sense of justice." Alexander kissed Hazel's forehead, "I'll be going now."

He quickly got dressed and rushed to the neighborhood where Chloe lived.

Chloe's daughter was hit for no reason by a naughty kid.

She herself was slapped twice and kicked twice by the kid's parents.

Her ribs were almost broken.

When Aria was pushed down by the naughty kid, her head hit the ground, causing a large red bump to

form on her forehead.

They could bully her, but they definitely couldn't bully her daughter.

If she didn't protect Aria at this time, Aria would live in fear for the rest of her life.

The parents of the naughty kid were muscular and fierce-looking.

"What's wrong with hitting you? Your daughter was blocking my son's way. Why should he apologize?

You should have moved out of the way, you're just asking for trouble."

Aria was scared and started crying.

She kept holding onto Chloe, wanting to go home.

Chloe endured the pain and blocked Aria behind her.

"Aria, don't cry. I won’t let anyone bully us."

First, she called the community management, then the police.

She knew she couldn't fight a strong man.

Even though at the moment Aria was bullied, she just wanted to stop that despicable kid.

But the difference in strength was too great, she couldn't fight the kid's father.

Even though the onlookers all condemned the despicable kid's father, no one stepped up to stop him

when she was being hit.

Everyone only cared about their own affairs and didn't meddle in others' business.

Chloe could only rely on herself.

Actually, she really wanted to cry.

Her daughter was being bullied, she was being hit, she and her daughter were so miserable, but no

one came to help them.

But she couldn't cry, especially not in front of her daughter.

After she called the police, they arrived in about twenty minutes.

At this time, Chloe had also obtained the video of the despicable kid pushing her daughter and the kid's

father hitting her from the community management.

The police arrived and she sat on the ground.

She said her chest hurt and she couldn't breathe.

The police asked the kid's father to take Chloe to the hospital for a check-up first.

Aria also had a bump on her head and needed to be checked at the hospital.

The kid's father who was arrogant just now suddenly became weak.

Whatever the police said, he did, not daring to be arrogant anymore.

Many checks were done, costing quite a bit of money.

The results showed nothing serious, but Chloe still felt pain in her chest and struggled to breathe.

Chloe asked, "Doctor, my chest still hurts, can I stay in the hospital for a few days?"

The doctor said, "Yes, you can. But you have to pay the hospitalization fee first."

The police looked at the muscular man, "You need to pay the hospitalization fee first, deposit a

thousand dollars in the account, just in case something comes up."

The kid's father said helplessly, "Officer, the check-up results clearly show that there is no problem.

Why does she need to be hospitalized? She's just trying to scam me."

The police said sternly, "Watch your tone. You're the one who hit her, who's scamming you?"

They've dealt with many such civil disputes.

They knew how to handle people who hit others and were unreasonable.

They had seen the surveillance footage.

It was clearly the kid's parent who was unreasonable.

And Chloe was only driven to desperation to ask to be hospitalized.

At this time, Chloe calmly said, "I don't have to be hospitalized, but I have one request. You and your

son need to apologize to us, sincerely, not perfunctorily." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The kid's father was very angry, "I've never apologized to anyone."

"Watch your attitude." The police said sternly, "We're still here and you're still being arrogant. When we

leave, are you going to hit her again? Let me tell you, she can sue you for intentional injury, and if she

does, you will face detention and fines. Apologizing is already the lightest punishment. You should be

grateful."

The police's support gave Chloe more confidence, "You either apologize to me, or you follow the

police's instructions."

That kid's dad was forced to back down.

He had to.

He could be stubborn when dealing with the weak, but acting tough in front of the cops, he'd be in

trouble with the law.

So, he had no choice but to apologize.

"Sorry!"

Chloe said, "I didn't catch that, didn't sound sincere to me."

The kid's father was not happy about it.

But with the police there and not wanting to pay hefty hospital bills, he had no choice but to apologize

to Chloe.

"I'm sorry, my son shouldn't have hit your daughter, and I shouldn't have hit you. We were wrong,

please forgive us."

Chloe knew his apology wasn't heartfelt.

She warned him sternly, "I've got the video of you hitting me, don’t even think about getting back at me.

If anything like this happens again, I won’t hesitate to send you to jail."

With the video evidence, he didn't dare to retaliate against Chloe.

Take this as a lesson for him.

Finally, the man took his son and left.

The cop consoled Chloe for a while, then advised her, "Next time you take your kid out, bring along the

father. It's safer that way. And always call the cops if anything happens."

Chloe nodded and thanked him.

She didn't mention she was divorced.

As she watched the cop leave, she couldn't hold back her tears.

She turned away from Aria and wiped her eyes.

She thought marrying Oliver would give her a sense of security.

But all the pain in her marriage was brought by Oliver.

She wanted a happy marriage, she wanted Aria to have a father's protection.

But reality is a bitch.

To stop Aria from seeing her cry, Chloe held back her tears.

She squatted down and hugged Aria.

"Aria, if something like this happens again, tell me right away. I won't let anyone bully you."

"Mommy, are you hurt?" Aria clung to her.

She shook her head, "I'm not hurt, as long as I can protect you, I won't feel any pain."

Next time, she'll carry a can of pepper spray, and she'll get one for Aria too.

That's self-defense.

It's lucky that it happened somewhere with surveillance.

Otherwise, they might not have gotten that apology.

"Let's go grab some burgers." Chloe took Aria's hand and strode off.

After the divorce, she was raising two kids alone.

Life is tough.

But as long as she's with her kids, she fears nothing.

"Mommy, weren't you in pain just now? Are you okay now?"

"I was just pretending. If we can fight back, do it. If not, find a way. Got it?"

"Yes, we need to be smart."

Alexander watched all this.

Actually, he arrived at Chloe's neighborhood when the cops did.

He intended to help Chloe deal with the problem, but Chloe handled it herself.

She got an apology for herself and her daughter.

As a mother, she's really brave.

As a divorced woman, she's got it tough.

Alexander thought of his sister, also a single mother, living alone, life's not easy.

He drove off, pretending to bump into Chloe by chance.

He rolled down the window and called out to her, "Ms. Mitchell, what a coincidence to run into you

here."

Chloe was surprised to see the handsome Alexander in his Rolls-Royce.

She ran into him again?

What a coincidence!

"Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Alexander." Chloe smiled politely.

Alexander, "I can give you and your daughter a ride."

"We’re okay..." Chloe waved him off.

But Alexander wanted to personally take them home, so he got out of the car and opened the back

door for them.

"No worries, hop in. It's the weekend, I've got time."

Luxurious car., top-notch man.

Chloe felt like they were from two different worlds.

She didn't even dare to look straight at such an outstanding and successful man.

She felt a bit inferior.

"We’re good, but thank you."

"But you're being too polite. Plus, it's a no-parking zone. If you don't get in soon, the traffic cop will give

me a ticket."

After several invitations and persuasions from Alexander, Chloe got into the car with Aria.

Then, Alexander gallantly closed the door for them.

This was her second time in Alexander's luxury car, Chloe still felt uncomfortable.

After all, it's a very expensive car.

She just thought it was strange.

Why did she keep bumping into Mr. Alexander recently?

While driving, Alexander asked on purpose, "Ms. Mitchell, how come you're coming out of the hospital?

Are you okay?"

Chloe didn't mention the assault.

"I'm fine, just picking up some medication."

Alexander sighed inwardly.

This woman, so strong as a mother, it's heartbreaking.

He also has sisters and a wife, he wishes all women could be treated gently.

But as an outsider, he seemed unable to help Chloe.

After he dropped them off at their apartment, Alexander drove away before replying to Harrison.

"Harrison, handled the problem herself. She got the surveillance footage from management, called the

cops, and got the guy to apologize to her and her kid. It's not that I didn't want to help, but she had

already solved the problem. If I had stepped in, it would have seemed too deliberate."

"Okay, thanks."

Roxanne also got a reply from Chloe saying she was fine and not to worry.

She sighed.

Harrison asked, "What's wrong?"

"Chloe really has it tough. She's divorced, raising her kids alone, with no support, no backup. Harrison,

do you have any suitable friends you can introduce to Chloe?"

Harrison frowned, "Chloe just got divorced, introducing men to her now, she might not want it."

"True." Roxanne sighed, "No matter how great the guy you introduce, she might not dare to accept.

After all, she's raising two kids."

Thinking of her difficulties, Roxanne fell into thought...

Harrison waved his hand in front of her, but she didn't react, not even a blink.

"Roxanne."

He gently pinched her nose, "What's on your mind?"

"Nothing much."

"Are you worried that I might fall out of love and divorce you?"

Seeing her furrowed brows and worried expression, Harrison made such a guess.

He was just about to comfort her, to cheer her up.

He wanted to tell her he would never leave her, he would always be good to her, she didn't need to

worry.

But Roxanne retorted right away, "Are you kidding me? Do I look like the type to be scared of a man

changing his heart?"

"Then why do you look so worried?"

"I'm worried for Chloe."

Harrison was speechless.

"Harrison, let me tell you, if you dare to change your heart, I won't waste my time on you. I'd give you a

good beating first, then leave you, cut my losses right away, cut ties with you, without any regrets."

Now, it was Harrison's turn to look worried.

"Roxanne, can you really be that decisive, that ruthless?"

"Harrison, it's not being ruthless, alright?"

Harrison acted all hurt, "Then you're saying you'd cut ties with me, without any regrets?"

Roxanne was amused by him.

"That's not the case. Harrison, these are all hypotheticals, why are you so worried? You were the one

imagining it, that's why I responded like that."

Generally speaking, women are the ones worrying too much.

How did Harrison end up worrying too much?

She comforted him, "Harrison, let's not worry about things that haven't happened, alright? And I think

we're doing great right now, you haven't changed your heart, you're actually pretty awesome, why

would you change your heart?”

"What if you found out I deceived you?" Harrison watched Roxanne's reaction closely.

Roxanne frowned, "What could you possibly deceive me about? You're in massive debt outside, and

you need me to pay it off with you?"

Other than that, what else could Harrison deceive her about?

She couldn't think of anything else.

Harrison counter-questioned, "Roxanne, do you think I look like the richest man in Seraphim Haven?"

After asking that, Harrison's entire back stiffened as he carefully observed Roxanne's reaction...
