The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 156

Alexander suddenly felt like a total loser. He couldn't even keep a woman's heart. He scoffed at

himself, saddened by the thought.

In front of him, Chloe's kids were just too adorable, especially Aria.

Aria kept shooting worried glances at him, then asked, "Feeling any better?"

Amelia had told her they were going to see a sick person, a person who had once helped her mom.

A really good guy.

On the way, Aria carried the soup Amelia made for him.

"Aren't you hungry, Alex?" Aria asked, concern radiating from her. "Amelia said you've been sick and

need to eat something light."

Alexander felt his heart melting.

How could a child be so warm and considerate?

She was like a little angel. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Alexander, who was already a sucker for kids, was now head over heels for Aria.

He wondered if she'd be even more affectionate if she were his own daughter.

If he and Hazel had a kid right after their marriage, and if it were a girl, she'd probably be around Aria's

age by now.

Seeing Aria made him feel less miserable.

He patted Aria's head, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Thanks, Aria. I'm starving."

He hadn't had anything since his hospital stay at noon.

In the afternoon, Hazel showed up at the hospital, desperate to divorce him.

He immediately went through with the divorce procedure.

So he was really starving by then.

His hunger was making him feel lousy.

He didn't feel like eating at all initially.

Aria's concern was like a healing force, adding a sweet warmth to his cold and aching heart.

Maybe it was because children's hearts were pure and kind. He could feel Aria's sincerity.

Hazel had fooled him for eight years.

They had been married for eight years, and he only saw Hazel's true colors when he discovered the

truth.

If adults could be as innocent and beautiful as children, there would be no deception.

But the world of adults was too complex and filled with greed.

Aria hastily pulled Alexander's hand, urging him back to the bed.

"Sit down. I'll get the food for you."

Her small hand was soft and warm. She was just too cute. Despite her age, she had a powerful

soothing effect. She made Alexander feel a lot warmer.

Like a good little boy, Alexander obediently sat back on the bed edge.

As Aria struggled to open the thermos, he reached out to help. "Thanks, Aria."

Aria quickly pulled out a spoon from her bag. "It's clean. I washed it. Have some soup."

Chloe, standing nearby, laughed.

Her Aria was always so considerate.

Amelia, too, was smiling.

Mr. Alexander loved little girls. He always wanted Hazel to have a daughter for him. His wish remained

unfulfilled even after their divorce.

Amelia saw how much Mr. Alexander adored Aria.

He, a high-profile figure, was treating Aria so well.

If it were his own child, Mr. Alexander would probably spoil her rotten.

Alexander was then divorced.

So was Chloe.

If the two could be together, they could warm each other's hearts.

Amelia was very familiar with the Rodriguez, Reynolds, and Carter families. Those families never

differentiated between people based on social status. They were all very decent families. Each of them

respected people from all social classes.

Just like when she worked as a nanny for President Rodriguez, he treated her with kindness and

respect. He never treated her like a servant. The benefits he provided were great, and he was also

considerate of her family's needs.

The Reynolds family was no different. They were all good people.

Mr. Alexander had a sister who also had an unfortunate marriage. She was divorced too.

Mr. Alexander's sister and Chloe had similar experiences. Her ex-husband was awful to her. She was

even abused. The Reynolds family would definitely empathize with Chloe's situation.

If Mr. Alexander and Chloe ended up together, the Reynolds family would feel even more for Chloe, a

woman with a tough fate.

But, what was she, an old nanny, thinking about?

Mr. Alexander and Chloe barely knew each other.

Was she overthinking?

But Amelia truly wished good people like Mr. Alexander and Chloe could find a great partner, cherishing

and loving each other.

Someone like Hazel didn't deserve Mr. Alexander's love at all.

Chloe was a good person. She just had bad luck with men.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mr. Alexander and Chloe were two peas in a pod!

As Alexander sipped the soup Aria brought, he noticed a difference in taste. The soup seemed tastier

than what he used to have.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Amelia, this soup is exceptional. It's different from what I've had

before."

Amelia chuckled, "Really? Chloe taught me. She's a great cook."

Alexander nodded, "No wonder it tastes so good."

Amelia smiled brightly, "Mr. Alexander, I've learned a lot from Chloe. Next time you visit, I'll cook for

you."

"Sounds good!" Alexander agreed.

Chloe, standing nearby, looked puzzled. She found it strange.

Amelia was introduced by Roxanne's father-in-law. She should be intimidated by the wealthy, being a

simple countrywoman herself. So why was she chatting so freely with Mr. Alexander?

It was like they had known each other for ages.

Chloe voiced her confusion, "Amelia, Mr. Alexander, you two seem to know each other pretty well. Did

you guys meet before?"

Amelia suddenly looked a bit jittery, her eyes darting around, "Nope, it's my first time meeting Mr.

Alexander. He's a real good guy though, seems like a stand-up man."

That did make sense.

Alexander never came off as the high-and-mighty kind who looked down on others. He had always

been a gentleman and quite easy-going.

So, Chloe didn't think too much of it.

Alexander, sitting nearby, didn't say anything further.

If Amelia's identity was exposed, it could lead to Harrison's identity being revealed. And he had no idea

how Harrison would deal with him then. He didn't want to mess up Harrison's plan of revealing his

identity. Otherwise, if that guy got angry, he wouldn't stand a chance.

After nibbling on some food, Alexander felt much better.

He couldn't let his divorce bring him down. Even though he was deeply wounded, Alexander felt he still

had to pull himself together and focus on his career. He was planning to hail a cab back home.

But Chloe offered to drive him.

Unable to reject Chloe's warmheartedness, Alexander didn't refuse.

The clinic was close to where she lived.

She asked Amelia to take Aria and Austin home first before getting into Roxanne’s car to drive

Alexander back.

As soon as Chloe got into the car, she sneezed.

Alexander wrinkled his brow in the passenger seat, "Did you catch a cold from getting wet when saving

me?"

"Nope." Chloe started the engine and said, "Don't feel guilty. I already got wet before. Don't worry, I'm

fine. I've got a steel constitution and never catch a cold. You, on the other hand, should definitely take a

hot bath when you get back."

As she spoke, the car had already pulled onto the road.

"Mr. Alexander, do you live in Bayview Villa?" Chloe asked.

He had mentioned living there before. It's a posh neighborhood. The outrageously high housing prices

were beyond her reach.

Alexander frowned.

Bayview Villa was a place of heartbreak for him. It was the love nest he shared with Hazel after their

wedding. But Hazel had secretly brought other men into their home.

He swore he would never set foot in Bayview Villa again.

"I don't live there anymore. I left the Bayview Villa house to Hazel."

Chloe was somewhat moved. It must have been Mr. Alexander's place of heartbreak.

"So where does Mr. Alexander live now?"

"Grandeur Meadows."

It was one of Alexander's villas.

Harrison also had a house there when he wasn't living with Roxanne.

The name sounded familiar to Chloe. It seemed like Roxanne and Oliver Lewis had been there before.

It was the most expensive luxury residential area in Seraphim Haven. It was rumored to house the

most upscale mansions among the rich and famous, a high-end villa community.

Chloe drove to Grandeur Meadows.

At first, her car couldn't get in; it was stopped by security even before reaching the community gate.

Chloe rolled down the window.

The guard was both polite and decisive, "I'm sorry, ma'am, you are not a resident here. If you don't

have a visitor's pass, you can't drive in."

Alexander, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke up, "She's my friend."

The guard bent over, and as soon as he saw it was Alexander, he immediately apologized, "Mr.

Alexander, my apologies. I'll let you in right away."

The guard quickly grabbed his walkie-talkie and gave the signal to his colleagues.

Chloe's car then passed through the high-end community's gate without a hitch.

As they drove in, guards dressed in uniforms and white gloves gave them a salute.

Indeed, it was an upscale community where the rich congregated.

Chloe thought she probably wouldn't have the chance to live in such a place in her lifetime.

But she never coveted that. She enjoyed her ordinary life with the kids.

After entering the community, Alexander gave Chloe directions.

The car drove for a few more minutes before pulling up at Alexander's villa.

The villa next door with the swimming pool was Harrison's house.

But that rascal Harrison was in the honeymoon phase with Roxanne at the time. They hadn't been back

for five months.

Alexander got out of the car.

Chloe followed suit, "Mr. Alexander, take a hot bath when you get back. After a good night's sleep,

you'll feel a lot better tomorrow."

"Thank you!" Alexander nodded politely, then gave a faint smile, "I can't invite you in, but be careful on

your way back."

Whether before or after his divorce, Alexander always had one habit. He never got intimate with

women and certainly wouldn't bring them to his house alone.

Chloe felt a bit awkward. She didn't get out of the car to go to Alexander's house. She just wanted to

give him some advice.

"Alright, I need to go back to attend to the kids." Chloe took the hint and immediately turned around to

get back in the car.

"Honey!" At that moment, Hazel appeared out of nowhere, throwing herself at Alexander, tears

streaming down her face, "Dean, that bastard, played me. He even humiliated me mercilessly. Honey, I

was wrong. I want to come home. I really want to come home."

After finalizing the divorce with Alexander in the afternoon, Hazel went to see Dean. She had originally

arranged to marry Dean immediately.

But Dean humiliated her brutally by saying, "You've already been married to someone else; why would I

marry you? I bet you've slept with a lot of men, right? Do you think I would marry a tramp?"

Hazel felt like she had fallen into an ice pit.

She knew there was no hope with Dean, and it was only then that she realized how good Alexander

was.

She felt safer and happier when she was with Alexander.

Back when she was still married, Hazel didn't realize how good she had it.

Then she was kicking herself.

She lunged forward, trying to collapse into Alexander's arms.

With a sidestep, Alexander dodged her, leaving her to crash into thin air.

Hazel started sobbing even harder, as if trying to cry out tears for a lifetime.

"Honey, don't you want me anymore?"

"Didn't you promise to love me forever? To forgive me no matter what I did wrong and always shower

me with love and care?"

"Dean treated me like crap. Don't you feel sorry for me?"

"I know I messed up, honey. I really do. I promise I'll turn over a new leaf and stick by your side. I won't

do anything to hurt you anymore."

"Can you give me one more chance, please?"

"I just want to come home."

Alexander snorted coldly, "Ms. Dawson, you've given me quite a lesson on what it means to be

shameless."

He had given her chances. She just didn't take them.

"Honey," Hazel whimpered as he coldly addressed her as Ms. Dawson.

Just that morning, he was still her husband.

How had they become strangers so quickly?

"Honey, don't you remember..."

"Enough." Alexander roared. His knuckles turned white from how tightly he was clenching his fists.

"We're divorced. Please refer to me properly, Ms. Dawson."

"Honey..." Hazel lunged at him again, but Alexander forcefully pushed her away.

Hazel broke down in tears, falling like rain.

Alexander used to hate seeing her cry.

But then, he didn’t feel any pity for her.

She stomped all over his dignity, treating it like dirt. If he still felt sorry for her, he'd be just as

shameless.

Alexander wasn't going to play the fool. He deserved better.

However much he had loved her before, that's how much he hated her then.

But Alexander was raised to be a gentleman, and his upbringing didn't allow him to give into his anger.

Otherwise, he would've slapped Hazel across the face long ago.

Even Chloe, who was standing by the car door, was stunned.

Who knew Hazel could be so shameless?

Hazel betrayed Mr. Alexander and was dumped by another man, and then she was crawling back to

him?

What did she think of Mr. Alexander?

Chloe was pissed off.

She didn't know what came over her, but she marched over and berated Hazel, "Have you no shame?

You think Mr. Alexander would want a dirty lowlife like you? What do you take Mr. Alexander for? You're

not fit for him!"

Hazel was familiar with Chloe. She was the best friend of Harrison's wife. Alexander had taken them

out for a meal before.

But who did Chloe think she was? Daring to lecture her?

Hazel wiped away her tears and glared at Chloe, "Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose

in mine and my husband's business? You are not a good person!"
