The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 81

Harrison was lounging on the couch next to the window, with phone in hand.

When Roxanne's video call request popped up, he accepted it almost instantly.

"Why'd it take you so long to pick up?" Harrison frowned.

Looking at him through the screen, Roxanne smiled and said, "Sorry, I just finished washing my face.

Your internet connection seems pretty solid; the video is crisp and smooth."

She had thought video calls abroad would be laggy.

"Harrison, can you pan your camera around a bit? I wanna see what kind of hotel the company set you

up in."

Harrison frowned. Instead of wanting to see him first, she wanted to check out his hotel room. His

eyebrows knitted together tighter.

"There's not much to see."

"I just wanna take a peek."

How was he supposed to show her?

He wasn't in a hotel but in his family's castle estate abroad.

The room was extravagantly and luxuriously decorated. How could he let Roxanne see this?

So, he ended the call, found a maid's bedroom, and called Roxanne back.

Even the maid's room spanned over forty square meters. It was the only room that Roxanne might

believe was his.

He called her back.

Roxanne picked up. "What happened just now?"

Harrison lied, "Bad connection. Didn't you want to see my place?"

He showed her around.

"Wow, so luxurious," Roxanne couldn't help but exclaim. "Your company set you up in such a swanky,

spacious hotel."

Luxurious? This was just the maid's quarters.

What kind of reaction would she have if he took her to the Rodriguez family's villa someday?

If she accepted, that would be great.

If not... Thinking about that made Harrison's head throb.

Keeping his face straight, he replied, "The company treats its employees well."

He turned the camera back to himself and looked at her through the screen. "Seen enough?"

"Enough. Harrison, how much is the hotel you're staying in per night?"

"Why are you asking?"

"I've never been abroad. Next time, we should take Dad with us."

"Why bring Dad?"

"So he can travel abroad too. He worked hard to send you to college, and he deserves a break. We

should treat him well."

So this was why his father insisted on him marrying Roxanne?

She always kept in mind to respect the old and love the young.

No wonder his father liked Roxanne so much.

Harrison said, "If you tell him about the trip, he'll probably refuse."

Roxanne thought for a moment. "Is Dad worried about the expense? We can tell him the plane tickets

are discounted."

Harrison replied, "No, he probably wants us to travel alone to develop our relationship. So, don't worry

about bringing him. He won't get in our way."

Harrison added, "If you really want to travel abroad, I can take you next time."

Roxanne said, "If it's not with Dad, then I won't go. I can't selfishly enjoy myself without taking the

elders with me."

On the video screen, Harrison's eyebrows knitted together tightly.

Feeling that there was nothing left to talk about, Roxanne gave him some precautions to take abroad

and prepared to end the call.

"Just like that?" Harrison frowned again. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Roxanne asked, "Is there anything else?"

Harrison quickly replied, "What kind of gift do you want? I can bring it back when I return."

"No need for a gift. If you really want to bring something, bring it for Dad. We still have to pay the

mortgage every month. The house will be handed over soon, and we'll need to decorate it. There are a

lot of expenses. I really don't need any gifts."

She was no longer the little girl seeking romance.

Since she had decided to live a good life with Harrison, she needed to be more frugal.

After saying these things, she ended the call.

Harrison stared at the WhatsApp chat box that showed the other party had ended the call; his brows

knitted together even tighter.

Roxanne's voice faded away from his ear, leaving him feeling a bit lost.

But he had important business to attend to in London. He returned to his room and quickly immersed

himself in work.

The next morning.

Oliver left his sister Sophia's house, only to see the same twenty bodyguards from yesterday standing

neatly outside her villa.

Were they planning on staying?

Oliver felt he was on the verge of a breakdown.

Why was he so unlucky? He wanted to lay a hand on Chloe but met a big boss who had bodyguards

and was willing to help.

This boss actually let his bodyguards keep an eye on him.

From last night, Oliver had been unable to sleep.

Seeing the twenty neatly arranged bodyguards, his whole body was shaking.

He didn't dare think about laying a hand on Chloe anymore.

This time, Oliver really didn't dare to touch Chloe again.

Sophia saw her brother being watched and looked at the neatly arranged bodyguards.

"Do you know this is illegal? I have the right to sue you."

The leader of the bodyguards sneered, "If you have the guts, go ahead and sue."

They probably didn't know who their boss was.

In Seraphim Haven, who could sue their boss?

Sophia asked, "Oliver, who is the man who helped Chloe yesterday? His bodyguards are so arrogant?"

Oliver replied, "I don't know, I'm just really bad luck."

On the way to the company, the twenty bodyguards followed Oliver all the way.

Roxanne, who also went to work, was amazed at this scene.

Chloe was really lucky! Even when getting abused by a man, she could meet a successful person

willing to help.

This successful person was really righteous. To punish this abusive man, he even let his twenty

bodyguards pressure him.

But these twenty bodyguards did not disturb Oliver's work.

They just stood outside the company, keeping an eye on Oliver's movements so Oliver couldn't call the

police.

All day, Oliver was distracted.

When Roxanne passed by Oliver, she happily said, "Oliver, I never thought you'd have a moment of

fear, huh?"

Oliver didn't dare to lose his cool with Roxanne.

Some tough guy yesterday warned him to respect women.

Oliver was scared stiff.

He's the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. He was afraid the tough guy from yesterday would

give him another dressing down, so he kept his mouth shut.

Roxanne was over the moon.

She thought the tough guy from yesterday just happened to be passing by and helped Chloe out of a

sense of justice.

Little did she know, all this was orchestrated by her own husband.
