The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 125

"You wicked woman, you dare to attack my wife and son? I'll make you pay!" The guy shouted.

Chloe's hair was yanked hard, causing her scalp to sting as if it was being ripped apart.

Holding Austin and Aria in her arms, Chloe couldn’t free her hands and unexpectedly fell backwards.

"Mom, be careful!" Aria was startled and rushed to help her hold Austin.

Finally, Chloe was able to free her hands and grabbed the man's arm, who had been pulling her hair.

They want to mess with her and her kids? No way in hell.

She would not let anyone hurt her children.

Thinking about her children, Chloe's anger exploded like a bomb.

She went all in.

She squeezed the man's arm tightly; she was going to make him pay.

"Ouch, you wicked woman, you dare to pinch me, ouch!” The guy was in pain.

Chloe went all in, not letting go even a bit.

Because once she let go, the man would become even more crazy.

As expected, the man let go of her due to the pain and kicked her hard, almost breaking her waist.

She fell to the ground and slid backwards for a few inches due to inertia. Her palms rubbed against the

cold ground until her skin was torn, then she finally stopped.

Though the pain made it nearly impossible for her to stand up again, Chloe managed to get up quickly

and protected her children behind her.

She was on high alert, glaring at the man.

And the boy and his mother nearby were still instigating,

"Good job.

She deserves it if she dies.

Hey, this woman and her kids are often alone in the neighborhood, there's no man around.

I guess she's divorced. Beat her, beat her hard! There's no man at home to protect her anyway."

Just because there was no man to protect them, they could be bullied?

Chloe was furious.

If that man dared to lay a hand on them again, she would fight him to the death.

She was not someone who could be bullied easily.

She reached into her bag and gripped the taser she carried with her.

She was constantly on guard against the wicked man who was approaching step by step.

Her palms were sweaty.

"Hitting a woman? What kind of man are you?"

At this moment, a man's voice rang out.

Chloe turned her head and saw Dominic, Roxanne's ex-boyfriend who she had just bumped into.

Seeing Dominic approach her, standing in front, and separating her from the wicked man, she slightly

lowered her guard.

She suddenly felt a bit safer, b

ut she still didn't dare to relax.

"Dominic, that man is very vicious, be careful." Chloe said.

Dominic glanced at her, "Don't worry, I won't let him do anything."

Seven years ago, Dominic dumped Roxanne, leaving a bad impression on Chloe.

But at this moment, Dominic was willing to help her, which made her feel grateful.

The wicked man wanted to fight again, but was easily subdued by Dominic.

Dominic was indeed a sports star; his moves were swift and his strength was amazing.

He pushed the wicked man on the ground, and then grabbed his wrist and twisted it.

"Do you dare to hit a woman again?" Dominic asked.

"Ouch, it hurts. Please, let go." The guy pleaded him.

The subdued man lowered his head, unable to resist.

"Apologize." Dominic ordered.

"Sorry!" The guy said.

"I'm asking you to apologize to her." Dominic said.

The man raised his head slightly and looked at Chloe, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you."

"Is that it?" Dominic asked.

"What else do you want?" The guy said.

"You kicked her, she must be hurt, and her palms are scraped from the fall. You have to pay for her

medical bills, $500." Dominic said.

"She also pinched me and sprayed pepper spray on my wife and child." The guy said.

"Would you have been sprayed if you hadn't bullied people first?" Dominic asked.

With a slight effort from Dominic, the man was in so much pain that his face contorted.

"Ouch, I'll do. Give her the money." The man signaled to his wife.

The woman asked, "Why should I?"

The man said, "If you don't want your husband's arm to be twisted off, give them the money."

The woman reluctantly took out her phone and signaled Chloe to accept the money.

Chloe was stunned for a moment, but

Dominic persuaded her, "You're injured. You should take the medical expenses."

Only then did she show her payment information, and immediately heard a notification of $500 being

transferred.

Dominic let go of the man's arm.

"I live in Tranquil Bliss Villa in this neighborhood, if I see you bully them again, be careful, I'll break your

arm."

Those who could afford a villa in the Seraphim Haven were extremely rich.

The beaten man was a bit scared.

He quickly left with his wife and child, walking so fast as if he was afraid of being beaten again.

Under the moonlight, only Chloe, Dominic, and the children were left.

Chloe suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Because half an hour ago, when Dominic greeted her and asked about Roxanne, her attitude was not

very good, and she even mocked Dominic.

At this moment, Dominic asked, "Isn't Oliver at home?"

"We're divorced." Chloe lowered her head.

Divorce was not something to be ashamed of, but it did make her feel a bit sad.

Dominic gentlemanly said, "I'm sorry!"

Being a divorced woman now was indeed not easy.

Dominic stretched out his hand and said,

"Phone."

"What?" Chloe asked.

"Give me your phone, I'll give you my number." Dominic said.

Chloe was stunned.

Dominic gave a bitter smile, "Don't worry, I'm adding your number but not to ask about Roxanne. I won't

bother you."

"Oh." Chloe handed him her phone.

He quickly saved his own number on Chloe's phone and dialed his own number to save hers.

"This is my current number, the same for WhatsApp. I live in this neighborhood. If you need help in the

future, feel free to contact me." Dominic said.

"Dominic, thank you." Chloe said.

"Even though Roxanne and I broke up, you're still my friend." Dominic said.

Chloe suddenly realized that maybe the labels they had put on Dominic over the past seven years were

a bit unfair.

He seemed straightforward, not like a calculating man who was just out to take advantage of a rich girl?

Chloe was a bit curious and asked, "Dominic, when you and Roxanne broke up, was there some

misunderstanding or miscommunication?"

Dominic didn't answer right away.

He gave a slight smirk as if he was about to say something, but then he held back.

Then, he gave a bitter smile and said,

"No misunderstanding here, I dumped Roxanne because of her poor background and hooked up with a

rich girl."

But how would bad guy admit to being bad?

Real villains usually denied it, even acted all high and mighty. Just like Oliver, who thought he was the

best and hottest guy in the world.

Chloe always felt that there must be some kind of misunderstanding.

Looking at Dominic, his eyes were filled with deep loneliness and pain, l

ike the sparse moonlight shining on the treetops, cold and filled with sorrow.

The moonlight cast upon Dominic's tall figure, making him seem utterly sad.

Chloe sighed, "Anyway, you and Roxanne are a thing of the past; she's already married now. I hope

you can be happy too."

Dominic flashed a slight smile again, but he didn't say a word.

His broad shoulders seemed a bit droopy.

Something seemed to have collapsed in his eyes, l

ike his world was falling apart.

Chloe vaguely felt that Dominic was troubled by something.

He took a deep breath, finally feeling the air smoothly filling his chest, then he bent down to look at the

children by Chloe's side.

Aria was holding her little brother, Austin.

There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but she held strong.

Dominic gently patted Aria's head, "You were very brave just now, good job."

Aria politely replied, "Sir, thank you for helping us."

Seeing Aria struggling to hold her brother, Chloe quickly took Austin from her, then also patted Aria's

head.

Chloe's two kids were both well-behaved and cute.

He took a longer look at them.

Then asked, "What's your name, sweetie?"

Aria obediently replied, "I'm Aria."

Dominic sighed, "Time flies. The year I broke up with Roxanne, you were just pregnant with Aria. Aria

should be in elementary school now, right?"

Chloe replied, "Yes, Aria is now in the first grade. Seven years, just like that."

Dominic didn't say anything.

For others, these seven years might have passed in the blink of an eye.

But for him, these seven years were pure agony, like struggling in hell.

If that accident hadn't happened, his and Roxanne's child would be the same age as Aria now, right?

If it was a girl, she would surely be as beautiful as Roxanne.

The woman he pursued for three years and planned to spoil for a lifetime, was now someone else's

wife.

Something felt stuck in Dominic's throat.

After a while, he still found it hard to breathe.

He shouldn't have asked, but he couldn't help,

"Is Roxanne's husband good to her?"

Chloe retorted, "Is the answer important to you?"

After asking the question, Chloe carefully observed Dominic's expression.

Dominic gave a bitter smile, "Forget I asked."

"I can tell you, Roxanne's husband is very responsible. He is frank, honest, and family-oriented. He

cares about Roxanne a lot, and she is very happy now. If you still have any feelings for Roxanne, I

hope you don't disturb her." Chloe said.

Dominic didn’t say a word.

"You know, Roxanne was abandoned by her parents when she was young." Chloe added,

"Even if you still have feelings for her, with her character, she will never forgive someone who once

abandoned her."

Dominic stayed silent.

"Maybe I said too much." Chloe said.

"No, you're right." Dominic said.

Chloe asked again, "Did you marry your rich girlfriend?"

Dominic could afford a villa in Seraphim Haven, he must have gotten married, right?

Otherwise, with his ordinary background, how could he afford a villa worth tens of millions?

Dominic said, "I'd rather not say."

Chloe said, "Then I won't ask."

Dominic said, "Don't worry, I have my own life, I won't disturb Roxanne."

Chloe said, "That's good, what are you doing now?"

Dominic said, "Same old, IT industry, techie."

Chloe said, "Then you're in the same field as Harrison!"

Dominic asked, "Harrison?"

Chloe said, "Roxanne's husband."

Dominic asked, "Can I know his full name?"

Chloe said, "Harrison Rodriguez."

Harrison Rodriguez?

That name made Dominic slightly frown.

What a coincidence?

Was he the same Harrison Rodriguez he had recently encountered?

But the Harrison Rodriguez he knew was the richest man in Seraphim Haven, an ultra-rich guy. How

could he marry Roxanne who lived at the bottom of society?

Maybe it was a namesake?

Dominic pondered for a moment.

Chloe said, "It's getting late, I should take the kids home. Let's keep in touch."

Dominic nodded, "Sure, let me know if you need anything."

Chloe was grateful, "Thank you."

After leaving with the two children, Chloe felt a bit odd.

Did Dominic really fall for a rich girl and become her boyfriend, leading him to break up with Roxanne?

Dominic didn't seem like the type to be money-hungry or to give up easily.

No matter what, these two people had missed each other.

Walking, Aria asked, "Mom, was that man Roxanne's ex-boyfriend?"

Chloe said, "Yes."

Aria asked, "So, did they use to date or something?"

Chloe was surprise, "Do you even know what dating means?"

Aria said, "Of course! That gentleman seems really nice, why didn't he end up with Roxanne?"

Chloe said, "Well, Mr. Harrison is also a nice guy. It's just destiny, you know? Some people are just a

chapter in our lives, walking with us for a while but not forever."

Aria said, "Then, I hope I'll only fall in love and get married once. Stay with the boy I like forever."

Chloe looked at her daughter.

Were kids these days maturing early?

She was only six or seven.

But Chloe wouldn't stop her daughter from thinking like this, she just wanted to be friends with her,

communicate with her gently and attentively.

East Adjacent Estates.

After taking a bath, Roxanne came to the living room.

Harrison was sitting on the sofa, texting with Alexander.

He raised his eyes to see Roxanne still looking neat, wearing long-sleeved, long-legged pajamas.

She was wearing a size S, but it gave off an XXL vibe.

Even though her body was completely covered, in Harrison's eyes, she was like a tempting little fairy.

One glance at her and everything else faded away.

His mind was filled with the memory of her soft sweetness from the night before.

He wanted to pull her into his arms and never let go.

But he feared she couldn't bear it, so he tried to control his basic male desires.

His gaze at her was also full of restraint.

Roxanne came over, sat on the sofa, and hugged him.

"Harrison, I've moved your toothbrush, cup, and some personal items to my room. From now on, we

won't sleep separately, okay?"

They were already a married couple, sleeping separately seemed less intimate.

Harrison agreed, stretched out his long arm, gently hugged her shoulder, and ruffled her hair.

"You go to sleep first, I have to report to my boss. I'll come and join you later."

"Okay." Roxanne kissed his cheek.

Her sweet lips accelerated Harrison's heartbeat.

He wanted to throw her onto the bed.

He tried to control himself, "I'll be there in a bit."

"Then I'll wait for you." Roxanne stood up.

His gaze followed Roxanne's silhouette until she entered the bedroom.

Harrison's gaze still lingered there

, until his phone received a video call request from Alexander.

Only then did Harrison's attention return to reality.

He answered Alexander's video call.

Alexander's brow was furrowed,

"Harrison, I've sent you several messages, why aren't you replying?"

"Speak." Harrison said.

Harrison stood up, went out to the balcony, and closed the door.

"We're in big trouble. I heard that Valeria's EastTech Consortium has spent a fortune hiring a hacker to

target our core data. Our defense system is on the verge of collapsing." Alexander said.

"That does sound like a big problem." Harrison admitted.

"Harrison, should we talk to EastTech Consortium?" Alexander asked.

"Do you want to betray our country? It's clear that EastTech Consortium wants our 6G-Technology. Do

you know what 6G-Technology means to our country's satellite system?" Harrison asked.

"I was just saying." Alexander said.

"What's the hacker's name, have we found out?" Harrison asked.

"How could we? Our digital experts can't even stop his solo attack." Alexander complained.

Harrison remained silent.

"Harrison, there's something strange. Half an hour ago, our system was about to collapse, but the

attack suddenly stopped. I don't know what he's up to." Alexander said.

"I'll handle this personally."

Harrison hung up the call.

He got up and went to the bedroom.

Roxanne was sitting on the bed, holding a notebook in her hand, calculating the income she and Chloe

had made from their company in the past couple of months.

She was a very practical woman, highly focused on income.

According to the current situation, she thought she and Chloe could expand the company further, hiring

at least a few more employees.

Harrison came over, saw the numbers in her ledger, rubbed her head, and praised,

"My wife is so capable, you made so much money this month!"

"Harrison, I think I could support you even if you didn't work." Roxanne said.

"I need to work harder to earn more money. If I earn less than a woman, I would feel embarrassed."

Harrison said.

"You shouldn't think like that. We're a couple, a family. During marriage, no matter who earns the

money, it's our joint property. There's no issue of who earns more or less. Besides, doing business also

requires some luck. Who knows what will happen in the future? If I lose money, you'll still have to take

care of me, right?" Roxanne said.

Suddenly, Harrison felt a bit ashamed.

He initially feared Roxanne would take his property, so he happily accepted her prenuptial agreement.

She was so sincere to him, yet his initial attitude towards her was merely guarded .

He was such a jerk.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

He didn't know how to face her with his true identity.

Today, he had a more important issue to deal with, so he gently rubbed her head, saying,

"Anne, I need to work overtime tonight to write some code. You go to sleep first."

"How long will you be working?" Roxanne asked.

"I'm not sure, don't wait for me." Harrison said.

Harrison sat on the sofa in the living room, working on his laptop, while Roxanne saw him rapidly typing

code she didn't understand on the black screen.

She poured him a cup of milk, chatted a bit, then went back to the room.

She thought Harrison was just a regular programmer.

However, Harrison was trying to infiltrate the hacker's system at this moment.

On the other side, Dominic was sitting in front of his computer.

Even though his system had been infiltrated, he still seemed calm.

He slowly hit the keyboard, and a line immediately appeared on Harrison's computer screen: [Let's

meet tomorrow morning!]
