The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 138

Roxanne and Harrison drove back to Seraphim Haven from Amberfield.

Meanwhile, Dominic was driving another car with Chloe and her daughter in tow.

He dropped Chloe and her daughter off at the underground parking lot of their apartment building.

Throughout the trip, Dominic barely said a word.

After they got out of the car, Chloe, holding her sleeping daughter, looked at Dominic with sympathy.

"Feeling a bit bummed out?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" Dominic responded calmly.

"Seeing Harrison and Roxanne so lovey-dovey has got you feeling a bit out of sorts, hasn't it?" Chloe

continued.

Dominic gave a wry smile but didn't respond.

Chloe frowned in confusion, "Dominic, I've always had a hunch that you had a reason for leaving

Roxanne back in the day. Can you tell me what really drove you away?"

"That's water under the bridge; let's not bring it up." Dominic dodged the question, "You better take your

girl upstairs."

Chloe hesitated for a moment, then nodded. The matter between Dominic and Roxanne was indeed in

the past. She decided to let it go and didn't pester him anymore.

Now that Roxanne was happy, she decided that this was the best outcome.

After walking a bit with her daughter in her arms, Chloe turned back to Dominic, "Dominic!"

Dominic had just closed the car door and looked up at her, "What's up?"

"Happy birthday!" Chloe said with a smile.

Dominic was stunned.

Did Chloe just remember his birthday?

"Thanks!" Dominic replied, feeling a bit moved.

Seven years ago, Roxanne celebrated every birthday with him.

She would prepare everything meticulously.

But from now on, he probably wouldn't be getting any birthday wishes from Roxanne anymore.

Chloe comforted him, "Dominic, like you said, let bygones be bygones."

Dominic nodded and waved at her, "You better scoot upstairs; your daughter's had a scare these past

few days; you need to comfort her and stay by her side."

...

Harrison parked the car and turned off the engine.

Roxanne was about to open the car door and get out, but Harrison grabbed her left wrist.

"Roxanne!"

She took her right hand off the door handle and placed it over the hand Harrison had on her wrist,

gently covering it.

The overlay of their palms made her feel the warmth of Harrison’s hand and the prominent joints of his

fingers.

"What's up?" Roxanne asked him sweetly.

They locked eyes.

Harrison's face was ruggedly handsome with a manly charm; his deep-colored suit contrasted with his

white shirt that had two buttons undone.

His shirt was slightly open, revealing his neck.

Harrison's Adam's apple was very sexy. A signature feature of his that was incredibly captivating.

His Adam's apple bobbed lightly, then he bent down and kissed Roxanne.

He had been missing her terribly these past few days.

His kissing technique was getting better and better, making her heart flutter.

His tongue slipped into Roxanne's mouth, exploring for a while.

It wasn't until Roxanne's tongue felt a little numb that he lifted his head.

His nose gently brushed against Roxanne's cheek, "Roxanne, I've missed you so much."

Roxanne smiled.

His deep eyes were filled with adoration and tenderness.

His hand slid into her clothes, wrapping around her back, ready to unbutton her, but she suddenly

grabbed his hand.

"Harrison, we're in the underground parking lot; there's a camera over there. Let's go home!"

After planting a deep kiss on her forehead, Harrison got out of the car and strode over to the passenger

side.

He opened the passenger door and scooped her up.

"Harrison, put me down." Roxanne couldn't help but laugh, "What if the neighbors see us?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Put me down."

"No, we're married."

"Even married couples can't be this affectionate in public."

Luckily, they didn't run into any neighbors on their way from the underground parking lot to the elevator,

then to their front door.

However, just as they were about to enter their home, they heard someone by the elevator say, "These

young folks are so passionate in their love that they can't even wait to get inside before they start

making out."

Harrison kicked the door shut.

Roxanne, with her arms wrapped around his neck, laughed, "Did you hear what they said? You're too

intense."

"There's more where that came from." Harrison kicked off his shoes, carrying her into the bedroom.

He gently put her on the bed, knelt down, and took off her shoes.

As he got up, he pressed himself against her as his hand explored the area under her clothes.

His kisses landed on her fair neck.

"I haven't taken a shower yet!"

"Then let's go to the bathroom."

Harrison's kisses stopped at her ear, "It's not even dark yet; are you sure you want to?"

If they waited until nightfall, he would be even more wild.

While holding her sweet and soft body, he walked into the bathroom.

The shower sprinkled a gentle rain as Harrison held Roxanne tight.

Amid the sound of running water, Roxanne's voice could be heard fluctuating.

After a long while, Harrison helped her wash her body once more, then carried her back to bed to rest.

Roxanne was very tired, and she just wanted to sleep. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Just as she opened her eyes, Harrison’s kisses fell on her face again.

Roxanne was caught off guard, finding Harrison more and more enchanting. His fingers stroked her

smooth waist, making it impossible for her to sleep any longer.

Her body felt like it was floating, as if she were about to fly into the sky.

She couldn’t help but let out some noises that she herself found a bit embarrassing.

The room was dark, and the voice-activated light in the house flickered on and off due to the sounds

from the room.

Forty minutes later, Roxanne nudged Harrison, "Honey, can you get up for a bit?"

"Hmm?" Harrison opened his eyes, clearly dissatisfied.

Roxanne gave a cheeky smile, "Get up and sit at the head of the bed; I'll be on top."

Harrison let out a clearly amused laugh.

Then he pinched her nose, "You want to take the lead today?"

"You've been tired for so long; it's my turn to do the heavy lifting."

Harrison respected her, got up, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Under the dim light, the muscles of his abdomen were distinct and firm.

Roxanne rolled over and straddled him, and their silhouettes were reflected in the bright window.

Harrison held onto her slender waist tightly.

At the other end of the night, Dominic was driving back from an errand.

All the way, he was pondering the same question.

Did Roxanne, who was already married, still remember his birthday?

Did she really forget him completely?

What was she doing on this particular day?

When Dominic returned to Tranquil Bliss Villa and saw the light in front of the villa, he felt a sense of

desolation.

He scoffed at himself.

Now that Roxanne was married, what did it matter what she was doing at this moment?

But he couldn't help but think about it.

He opened the door and stepped in.

The villa was pitch black, which made Dominic feel even more desolate.

His six-foot-tall figure seemed even more lonely in the dark villa.

Suddenly, the light turned on, and multicolored fireworks slowly fell from the ceiling.

Finally, there was a lively atmosphere in the quiet room.

As the fireworks fell, they illuminated a young and beautiful face.

Evelyn Miller held the fireworks and began to sing the birthday song.

Seven years ago, it was Roxanne who sang him the birthday song.

Roxanne never missed any of his birthdays.

In these seven years, someone still sang him a birthday song every year.

But with a different singer, Dominic was indifferent.

As the fireworks hit the ground, Dominic looked at the excited Evelyn and said coldly, "I told you last

year that I don't need you to celebrate my birthday."

His words put a damper on Evelyn's enthusiasm.

But Evelyn smiled, "Whether you need it or not is your business; I insist on doing this anyway. I have

said that I will accompany you on every one of your birthdays."

Roxanne once said the same thing.

Dominic's eyes dimmed.

Evelyn looked at him. "I know I can't replace your ex-girlfriend."

"Then why do you keep doing these useless things?"

Evelyn laughed, "To live is to be bold. To live is to love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a

dream."

The mountain she wanted to climb, and the dream she wanted to chase were all Dominic.

That was the meaning of life.

She couldn't just give up because he had an unforgettable ex-girlfriend.

"When you confessed your feelings to me for the first time, I told you that there would be no end for

us." Dominic was still cold. "You know my situation."

"So what?" Evelyn didn't care.

Dominic asked again, "Do you know who my ex-girlfriend is?"

Evelyn retorted, "Do I know her?"

Dominic didn't answer her question but said, "Your cousin got married recently; did you know?"

"You mean..." Evelyn was smart and had already guessed, "Your ex-girlfriend is Roxanne, my cousin's

wife?"

Dominic was silent.

Evelyn never expected such a coincidence.

The woman she wanted to replace was Harrison's wife.

The woman was so calm when they met on the snack street.

She chuckled, "What a coincidence!"

She asked again, "So, the reason you canceled the appointment with EastTech Consortium and

stopped attacking Harrison's database was not because I, but because of her?"

"You should leave." Dominic avoided her question, took a long stride, and was about to go upstairs.

Evelyn stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said, "Dominic, you should at least try the cake I

brought."

Dominic struggled to free himself from her delicate hand.

She held on firmly, as if she were going head-to-head with him.

"I, a CEO, made a cake for you. It would be too unfair to me if you didn’t try it."

"I didn't ask you to learn to make a cake for me."

When he was a child in Harmony Village, every year on this day, Roxanne would pull Chloe to make a

mock cake out of mud to celebrate his birthday.

After they moved to the city, Roxanne also learned to make a cake for him.

After eating Roxanne's cake, no other cake could enter his mouth. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

He said coldly, "Let go."

"Dominic, I've been chasing you for six years. How could you still be so heartless?" Evelyn's voice was

on the verge of tears.

Although she was a female CEO, she was tough when she needed to be and could switch to being

gentle and coquettish when necessary.

Of course, she was only coquettish toward Dominic.

"Dominic!" Evelyn gently tugged at the corner of his sleeve and said, "I've been learning to make a

birthday cake for you for three days; I’m so tired that I can’t even stand up straight.”

“Wasn’t that your choice?” Dominic shook off her hand, “I didn’t force you.”

“You…"

What a heartless man!

Evelyn was about to explode with anger.

But if he was tough, she could be tougher.

She wouldn’t leave.

Evelyn stood there, pretending to be aggrieved, and lowered her head. Her red lips were tightly pursed,

and she looked strong but heartbroken.

Any man would feel sorry for her.

Dominic's heart was moved.

Why were women so strange and confusing?

When she was a CEO, she was brave, cunning, and fierce as a tiger. When she cried, she was like a

helpless kitten.

Dominic softened, "Eat the cake and leave."

"Let me sing you another birthday song, and then make a wish with you!" She cunningly said.

"Where's the cake you made?"

"It's in the kitchen."

Dominic turned to find the cake in the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "I really shouldn't have given you

the door code."

"That proves that I do have a place in your heart."

"Don't overthink this."

On the other side of the night.

East Adjacent Estates.

In the little home of Roxanne and Harrison, the cozy atmosphere continued unabated.

This atmosphere paused in the middle of the night and then started again at midnight.

All of Harrison's urges were soothed in a beautiful way tonight.

In the wee hours, he left a note for Roxanne saying he'd be heading to the Information Technology

Building under the Rodriguez Group.

Along the way, Alexander kept buzzing his phone, pushing Harrison to get there ASAP.

"Harrison, hurry up, man. We're gonna lose it if you don't get here soon."

Just as he got to the building's entrance, Alexander rushed to meet him, leading him straight to the

elevator.

"Valeria's EastTech Consortium is shameless! They'll do anything for that 6G-Technology.

They not only fabricated evidence but also nabbed our group's chairman, Vincent Rodriguez.

They've started another round of attacks to get their hands on the 6G-Technology. They've got some

hotshot hacker this time. Harrison, you’ve gotta get to the tech department. Pronto!"

After half a day's work with the tech team, Harrison managed to temporarily restore the system that

EastTech Consortium had compromised.

Alexander brought him a takeout box from outside and said, "Harrison, this can't go on like this. As the

president of the group, you can't be sticking around the tech department all day."

Harrison furrowed his brows.

He hadn't had a bite since breakfast.

He'd burned most of his energy the night before and needed to fuel up.

As he opened the takeout box, a voice came from outside, "Harrison, I've got a big surprise for you."

It was Evelyn.

Today, she was dressed in a purple suit, looking dashing yet lively.

"Heard that EastTech Consortium sent another hacker to get your 6G-Technology?"

"You're quite the newshound."

Evelyn sat down at the marble table, "Harrison, hold off on the food. I brought Dominic."

Harrison paused and looked up, "You know Dominic?"

Evelyn replied, "Dominic's my boyfriend. Why wouldn't I know him?"

"So the bad boy you've been after is him?"

"He's not a bad boy." Evelyn frowned, "Dominic is the best man in the world."

Harrison was silent for a while, then said, "You shouldn't be falling for a guy like that."

"You mean the fact that Dominic is Roxanne's ex? I knew that last night. I also know that Roxanne still

has a place in his heart, but that doesn't change how I feel about him."

Just then, Dominic parked his car and was ushered into the office by the HR.
