The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 2



Chapter 2

Roxanne had no idea that Chloe was standing outside the door. At this time, everyone had gone to the

cafeteria for lunch. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Oliver say so many unpleasant things. She was

furious. "Oliver, can you justify yourself to Chloe, who just gave birth to your second child? Why doesn't

she wear makeup or style her hair?"

"Do you know how much she does for you? She takes care of your two children, the older one who

needs to be picked up from school every day and helped with homework, and the younger one who

needs to be fed. She also takes care of your parents and even your sister. How much time does she

have for herself?

"If it weren't for marrying you and having children for you, with Chloe's abilities, she could have become

a fashionable and charming career woman. And you dare to look down on her?"

Roxanne was extremely angry.

"She would have had to bear the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood with any man she

married." Instead of feeling guilty, Oliver became even more self-righteous.

"It's her own fault for not taking care of herself and not making an effort to improve. How can you blame

me?"

Slap! Roxanne couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Oliver hard. How could a man be so heartless?

"Oliver, even if you weren't Chloe's husband, I would never be interested in a heartless and ungrateful

man like you. No, you don't even deserve to be called a man. You're worse than an animal. You better

divert your attention from Chloe, or don't expect me to be polite to you."

Roxanne didn't want to stay with this man for another moment and opened the door to leave. Behind

her, the man who had been humiliated started to hold a grudge.

In a corner outside the door, Chloe was already in tears. No wonder Oliver had started to look down on

her more and more. He had fallen in love with her best friend.

Why did it have to be Roxanne? If Oliver had liked any other woman, Chloe wouldn't have felt so

devastated.

When everyone gradually returned from the cafeteria, Roxanne still didn't see Chloe. She sent out the

wedding candies and announced her marriage to everyone, but mentioned that she wasn't planning to

have a wedding ceremony for the time being. After distributing the candies, Roxanne called Chloe.

"Chloe, weren't you supposed to come to the office today? Why haven't I seen you? I have something

important to tell you."

"Oh, my little one isn't feeling well, so I came home early."

"What's wrong with your voice?"

"It's nothing. Maybe I caught a cold last night. Anne, the baby's crying. I need to go calm him down."

Chloe hurriedly hung up the phone.

Roxanne felt that something was off with Chloe but couldn't put her finger on it. She was worried, but

there were many things to attend to, so she got busy. She kept working until after 9 p.m. when Harrison

called, and she finally stopped.

"Are you done with work?"

Roxanne didn't recognize that it was Harrison's call, but she recognized his voice.

"Harrison?"

It wasn't because her memory was good. It was because Harrison's voice was unique. His voice was

deep and pleasant, as melodious as violin notes.

"It's me," Harrison said. "I'm outside your company. Come out when you're done."

Roxanne was also planning to finish her work and go home. "Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Harrison got off a Rolls-Royce. "Anthony, take the car back."

"Alright, Mr. Rodriguez," the driver Anthony replied respectfully.

Harrison said in a deep voice, "From now on, in front of my wife, don't call me Mr. Rodriguez."

"Alright, but Mr. Rodriguez, what should I call you when I meet your wife then?"

"Anything, as long as you don't expose that I'm your boss."

"Alright, Mr. Rodriguez. Do you really not need me to accompany you inside?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"No need."

Roxanne's company rented office space in Urban Sun Village, a bustling commercial center just a

street away from Seraphim Haven’s CBD. It was a characteristic of the city. Harrison had been waiting

outside for a few minutes. The shouting of street vendors and the bustling crowds made him impatient.

His air of superiority clearly didn't match this place. When he saw Roxanne, he walked up to her.

"How did you find this place?" Roxanne remembered that she hadn't told him she worked here.

Harrison didn't answer directly but stated his purpose. "The small company I started went bankrupt.

The bank seized my house and car. I have nowhere to go now. Can you let me stay at your place?"

Roxanne had a moment of disbelief. "Everything was fine this morning. How could this happen..."

Harrison lied calmly, "It just happened this afternoon."

Roxanne was still struggling to accept it. Why didn't he mention any of this before they got married?

Harrison continued, "Also, I'm a bit short on money now. Can I borrow ten thousand bucks from you?"

If it weren't for promising Vincent that he had to move into Roxanne's house in this manner, he wouldn't

have told this lie or asked a woman for money. In fact, he wasn't interested in Roxanne's character at

all. They were going to get divorced in a year anyway. But Vincent insisted on this approach, as if he

wanted to prove something to him. He had no choice but to comply.

He was waiting for Roxanne's refusal. No one would accept a husband who got married in the morning

and suddenly went bankrupt in the afternoon, asking her for money.

Roxanne didn't immediately respond. Aside from surprise, she furrowed her brows, feeling deceived.

Harrison quietly observed her reaction and smiled in his heart. She definitely couldn't accept this

marriage. As long as she refused, he wouldn't have to move into her house.

Perhaps she would think he had deceived her and immediately ask for a divorce. Who could accept a

man who, on the day of their marriage, went bankrupt despite promising a car, a house, savings, and

running a company, and then reached out to her for money?

Roxanne would surely regret getting married. Harrison was confident in this outcome. That way, he

wouldn't have to wait for a year to divorce her. He could free himself immediately.

Finally, Roxanne spoke.
