The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 28



Chapter 28

Roxanne couldn't follow Harrison's train of thought.

One minute she had been discussing Chloe's struggles in life, and the next he was asking her if she

had ever kissed anyone before.

Was he even listening to her talk about Chloe, or had he been thinking about that question the whole

time?

She turned to face him, only to find Harrison lying on his side, looking back at her. His legs, stretched

out on the floor, suddenly seemed unusually long.

She had never seen such long legs before.

Oliver was a good six feet tall, yet his legs were nowhere near as long as Harrison's.

Even her ex-boyfriend Dominic Thompson, who was close to six foot three, didn't seem to have legs as

long as Harrison's.

Was it possible that Harrison had a more perfect body proportion?

Noticing that she was silent, Harrison looked into her eyes and repeated his question.

"Did you or did you not kiss your ex-boyfriend?"

"How did you know I had an ex-boyfriend?" Roxanne retorted.

Harrison corrected her, "I'm asking if you've kissed your ex-boyfriend, not if you had one."

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Roxanne was perplexed.

Why did Harrison's tone sound weird when he asked this question?

"Are you jealous?"

"You're overthinking." Harrison replied, "I just noticed that you seemed quite skilled when we kissed last

time."

He spoke in a calm tone, almost as if he were trying to hide something, "You don't have to answer. I

was just asking out of curiosity."

He then turned away from her, "Let's go to sleep."

Easier said than done.

Roxanne, on the other hand, fell asleep almost instantly after they stopped talking.

Harrison, an insomniac, turned back to look at Roxanne, about to ask her something else, only to find

her sound asleep.

The question he wanted to ask remained unasked.

The next day was Sunday.

Neither Harrison nor Roxanne had to go to work.

Since the park near the university was particularly crowded on Sundays, Roxanne decided to set up

her stall for the entire day.

The curly-haired girl from the day before ran up to Harrison, whining, "Why did you delete my contact?

I'm so hurt."

At that moment, Harrison was reading a message from Alexander about the distribution of employee

benefits for the holiday season, amounting to over five million dollars.

The girl's whiny voice made him frown.

She continued to whine, "You're so heartless. I just added you on WhatsApp, and you deleted me

immediately."

Harrison didn't respond.

He sent a message to Alexander, “Disburse the funds. Employee benefits must be distributed in full.”

The girl whined again, "I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me? Did you delete me because you

don't like me?"

Harrison finally looked up at her, coldly saying, "You're right; I don't like you."

The girl was taken aback, "I...I..."

Harrison cut her off, "I'm married. I don't add women on WhatsApp. Feel free to look around if you want

to buy something. If not, please leave."

Once he was done speaking, he simply ignored her.

Roxanne walked over.

The girl complained to Roxanne, "Your boss is so cold and boring."

Just as Roxanne was about to respond, Harrison looked at her and asked coldly, "Am I your boss?"

How petty; he was still upset about the fact that she hadn't made it clear that he was her husband.

Did he really have to sulk for an entire day?

Knowing why he was upset, Roxanne decided not to provoke him further and said to the girl, "Sorry for

not making it clear yesterday. He's actually my husband."

The girl was surprised, "Oh... so you guys are married? No wonder you look so alike. I guess I have no

chance then. Many girls in our school will cry when they hear this. Your husband's picture is all over our

school's Facebook. They say he's even more handsome than most male celebrities, and a lot of girls

want to pursue him."

That explained why so many girls had been crowding around them since early morning.

Much like yesterday, they all wanted to add Harrison on WhatsApp but were all rejected.

After the girl left dejectedly, Roxanne turned to a sullen Harrison, "Why the long face?"

"Are you planning to sell me off, using me to attract customers?"

"When did I ever treat you like that?"

Harrison wasn't in the mood to argue. If he hadn't pushed her, she wouldn't have even admitted to

being his wife.

Roxanne asked, "Harrison, are you not adding those girls on WhatsApp because of me?"

"I've noticed some traits in you." Harrison replied.

She frowned, "What traits?"

"Self-important and overly sentimental." He responded bluntly.

"You're calling me overly sentimental again. How am I overly sentimental?" Roxanne was defiant, "If it's Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

not because of me, why wouldn't you add those girls on WhatsApp?"

"I married you to avoid trouble; why would I create more for myself?" He counter-questioned.

"Alright, I'm overly sentimental then."

However, Roxanne wasn't angry at all.

In fact, she found Harrison to be quite decent.

His refusal to casually add girls on WhatsApp was a commendable trait.

Harrison asked, "You're not upset about being called overly sentimental?"

"Why would I be upset? I never expected you to not add those girls on WhatsApp because of me."

Harrison was a bit taken aback by her response.

"Enough of this; there are customers coming; I need to attend to my business."

Harrison seized her wrist, "Next time someone asks me for my WhatsApp, you know what to do, right?"

"I got it. I got it." Roxanne was itching to leave and tried to wriggle free.

But Harrison only gripped tighter, "What are you gonna do?"

"I'll make it clear to them that I'm your wife, tell them to get lost, and stop trying to hit on you. I won't let

them stir up trouble for you anymore. Happy now? Can you let go now?"

Harrison was pleased with her reply, but he didn't let go.

He intentionally held on to her hand and stood up.

His tall and handsome figure made Roxanne look petite and delicate in an instant.

They appeared to be inseparable.

This time, Roxanne didn't feel the initial repulsion she felt when he first held her hand.

She just glared at him, "Someone's asking about the price of the bag; I’ve got business to do."

Harrison still didn't let go.

He bent down towards her. He was so close to her face that it seemed like he was about to kiss her,

but he didn't.

Roxanne was suddenly nervous, "What... what are you doing?"

He wouldn't be trying to kiss her like the other night, would he?

Of course, she'd be nervous.

Many would be over the moon if a handsome guy like Harrison, with such charisma, kissed them.

Though Roxanne wasn't boy-crazy, she couldn't keep her cool when faced with a kiss from Harrison,

"Harrison, what are you doing? Let go of me."

Harrison lowered his head as his handsome figure gradually closed in on her rosy lips.
