The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 15

Vincent was trying to leave, but it was already too late. Harrison walked out of the room and bumped

into him. Luckily, it was Harrison he ran into. Otherwise, if his daughter-in-law had caught him

eavesdropping, it would have been incredibly awkward and embarrassing. He wasn't someone with

weird kinks. He was just overly anxious about the progress of his son and daughter-in-law's

relationship.

The moment he bumped into Vincent's head, Harrison instinctively shut the door tight, his brows

furrowing and his expression darkening as he looked at his father.

"Cough, cough!" Vincent used a cough to cover up his embarrassment.

"Are you eavesdropping?" Harrison's expression was a bit unhappy.

"Don't be ridiculous." Vincent acted cool as a cucumber and laid back down on the couch. "I'm not into

that kind of stuff."

Looking at his dad lying down, Harrison sneered, "Wow! The chairman of the Rodriguez Group has a

habit of eavesdropping, that's not a good look."

"If you were to get married normally, and have a normal wedding night, would I be in this situation?"

Vincent stood up, speaking heatedly.

Harrison sneered again, "If you didn't interfere with my freedom, would I be like this?"

"When are you going to choose to fall in love, when I'm dead? How old are you, don't you know?"

Harrison didn't really care. There were plenty of people who didn't get married even at forty. Afraid that

Roxanne might hear their argument, Harrison didn't want to continue, "I can't be bothered arguing with

you."

The next day.

Roxanne went to work with her back still hurting. She was very careful whether she was cycling or

walking. When Chloe arrived at the company, she was all over her with concern.

She smiled briefly, "No need to go to the hospital. I'll just apply some ointment, I'm not that sensitive."

"Did Harrison help you apply the ointment?"

"Yeah."

"Let me see your injury."

Roxanne's office was empty, so Chloe closed the door and had a look at her wound. "Sleeping must be

uncomfortable with the wound on your back."

"I slept on my side and face down all night. Didn't dare to sleep flat."

"Anne, you need to take care of this wound. And you need to remind Harrison too. You guys should

avoid having sex these few days."

Roxanne put down her clothes and glared at Chloe with a smile. "What are you talking about? We

haven't done that. It's not what you think."

"Really?" Chloe was surprised, "You've been married for several days and you haven't done it?"

"Done what?"

"You know what."

"No." Roxanne glared at Chloe again, "You're starting to gossip too?"

"No, I just think you guys are newlyweds, and you should be very intimate every night. When I first got

together with Oliver, we did it several times a night."

Chloe would only share this private girl talk with Roxanne. But she regretted being with Oliver now. All

the past sweetness made her sick now. She sighed with anger in her eyes, "I really regret being with

Oliver."

"Do you think Harrison is as eager as your Oliver? He's a gentleman." Roxanne said, "And I'm not like

you were back then, putting all your focus on Oliver."

Chloe also felt regretful. Back then, she was truly too infatuated with that guy.

"Chloe, I'm not criticizing you. I just think girls should be more rational. Alright, back to work."

Around ten in the evening, Chloe's aunt-in-law and mother-in-law came to the company with Austin.

Both of them went straight to Roxanne. She was busy and didn't have time to deal with them. Chloe

came over and hugged Austin for a while, "Are you guys here for Roxanne?"

"What else could it be?" Sophia glared at Chloe.

"You have the nerve to leave your husband alone in detention. Since Roxanne's husband has

connections and can help, why not help Oliver out as well?"

Chloe understood, "So you guys came to find Roxanne?"

Sophia said grumpily, "If not her, who? She won't even help with this small thing."

Chloe: "This isn't Roxanne and Harrison's fault. Harrison was planning to help Oliver out too, but Oliver

was too arrogant and disrespectful, even mocking Harrison. Who's to blame? Isn't he the one who went

too far?"

Sophia's eyes widened, "No wonder Oliver said you wouldn't help him."

"Is Oliver still your husband?" Charlotte, her mother-in-law, suddenly glared at Chloe.

Looking at Charlotte's dark and fierce expression, Chloe gave a bitter smile. This old lady had been

bullying her more and more from the moment she said she didn't want a wedding gift. She said she

didn't want a wedding gift because she saw the Lewis family was struggling and didn't want them to

struggle more because of the wedding gift. But they took her as a pushover?

If she could, she really didn't want this man or this mother-in-law. But for Aria and Austin, she couldn't

completely fall out with this family yet. After having children, she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

At this time, Roxanne finished her call and came over. She played with Austin for a bit before looking at

Sophia and Charlotte. "Got some free time to come over today?"

In front of outsiders, Charlotte was still very polite: "Roxanne, it's been a while since you last came to

my house for dinner. Why don't you bring your husband over today? I'll cook for you."

Roxanne knew that Charlotte's politeness was motivated by some ulterior motive. Even though she

didn't interact with Charlotte much, she knew the woman well enough. She saw right through Charlotte

and Sophia's warm facade, and said bluntly, "You want my husband to bail Oliver out of jail, don't you?"

Charlotte laughed, "Such a small thing. Since your husband managed to easily help you and Chloe,

helping Oliver a bit shouldn't be difficult either. Just do us a favor, it's not like it's hard."

Roxanne's smile cooled. "I'm sorry, but my husband is a penniless, delusional, clueless farmer. He

really can't help."

"It’s nothing biggie and you're not even willing to help. That's really selfish." Charlotte's smile hardened,

and her face quickly turning sly.

"That's what your son Oliver said. He thinks my husband Harrison is useless and doesn't care about

his help. Why don't you go find someone Oliver does care about to help? I have things to do, so I'll be

going."

Roxanne had no interest in wasting precious time on such distasteful people and matters. She turned

and left with a decisive, determined stride.

Charlotte and Sophia immediately vented their anger on Chloe. "Look at your best friend, she won't

even help with a small thing. I, as an elder, personally asked her and she's still so cold and heartless.

Absolutely ungrateful."

"All she does is doll herself up to seduce men, she's really not a good person."

"Sophia." Chloe was furious, "Helping is a favor. How can you curse others just because Roxanne

didn't help?"

Sophia: "If she were a good person, why won't she help with such a small thing?"

"You're morally kidnapping." Chloe was furious, but she had no way to deal with these malicious

mother and daughter.

To make Roxanne help, these two started to maliciously torment Chloe. They left Austin to Chloe,

saying that they wouldn't take care of the child until Oliver was out. They did everything they could to

prevent Chloe from working. Because they knew that it was Roxanne who had encouraged Chloe to

work. Roxanne was like a sister to Chloe, and she wouldn't ignore Chloe's plight. How could Chloe

work with a child?

Chloe wanted to find a babysitter, but couldn't find a suitable one for the time being. Roxanne also novelbin

pitied Chloe and didn't want her to go back to being a full-time housewife. After a few days of turmoil,

she finally compromised.

On this day, Austin wouldn't stop crying in the office and Chloe couldn't work. Roxanne had no choice

but to call Harrison. Harrison was in the multi-purpose conference room of Rodriguez Manor, projecting

a 2 billion investment plan on his mobile phone for everyone to discuss.

The projector showed an incoming call: My Wife Roxanne.
