The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 107

Roxanne is Harrison's heart and soul, and he would cherish her for a lifetime.

No one in the world could replace Roxanne.

As Vincent said, she's a unique soul like no other.

He didn't really get a taste of love until he was 32.

But he had no regrets about being a late bloomer.

It's never too late because the one he loves is her.

One kiss was not enough, Harrison leaned in and gave her forehead another gentle kiss.

He didn't dare to disturb her sleep, his kisses were as soft as feathers brushing against her.

When he got up, he noticed that the air conditioning in her room was a bit cold, so he turned it up for her, tucked her in, and then quietly slipped out.

Back in his own room, he gently closed the door.

And Roxanne slowly opened her eyes.

She frowned.

Did Harrison just kissed her on his own initiative?

The next morning, there was a gentle breeze.

Chloe went to the bank early in the morning, withdrew $150,000 in cash, put it all in Aria's old backpack, and went to find Roxanne.

Chloe met Roxanne downstairs at Roxanne's new place.

She looked around nervously, worried someone would notice the money in her bag.

$150,000!

She had never seen so much cash before.

If it wasn't for Roxanne's help in setting up a trap last time, which got Charlotte and Oliver caught, she might not have been able to get this money back.

Otherwise, she would have been left with nothing after the divorce.

Thank God Roxanne was there to help last time.

"Anne, I've got the money, do you want to go straight to the hospital to pay, or deposit it first?"

Roxanne had forgotten about this.

"Chloe, I'm sorry, but I don't need this money now."

"What do you mean you don't need it? Doesn't Harrison still need it for his treatment?"

"I forgot to call and tell you, the hospital made a misdiagnosis."

"Really? Harrison doesn't have liver cancer?"

"No, it was a mistake."

Chloe felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, no wonder Roxanne was smiling.

Roxanne looked at the backpack Chloe was carrying, "Is this Aria's old backpack?"

She tried to lift it up.

It was heavy.

"How much money did you bring?"

Chloe whispered in her ear, "$150,000."

"You only have $200,000 in total and you give me $150,000?"

"Keep it down, be careful someone hears."

Roxanne also lowered her voice, "You're giving me so much money, how are you and your child going to live?"

"I've thought it through, you said we can't set up a company, can't do foreign trade. So, I'm going to get a job delivering food. I can take Austin with me and make money to raise him. But I'll have to let Amelia go for now, because I might not be able to afford Amelia's salary to help me take care of him."

"Chloe, thank God Harrison was misdiagnosed, otherwise I would have dragged you into this. But you don't have to deliver food now, we'll continue with foreign trade."

"As long as Harrison is fine, and you two are okay, that's all that matters."

"I'll go with you to deposit the money first, and then prepare for other things related to setting up the company."

The two of them went together to deposit the money back into the bank.

By noon, they found a small restaurant and had a casual lunch.

Then, they chatted while eating.

Roxanne, while eating her pasta, said, "Chloe, there's something I need to tell you."

Chloe added a spoonful of hot sauce to her pasta, "What's up?"

"Add some hot sauce to mine, too." Roxanne pushed her plate over.

Both of them loved spicy food.

After Chloe added the hot sauce for her, they continued to eat and chat.

"Chloe, late last night at two, Harrison came to my room, kissed my cheek, twice. I think he might be into me."

"That's good news. Anne, what about you? Harrison is such a good guy, you must have fallen for him too."

"I wouldn't say love, but I do think he's a good guy, and I plan on spending my life with him."

"So when are you two going to be a real married couple? You've been married for more than two months, you can't keep sleeping in separate beds."

"Let nature take its course. When the time is right, I won't resist. But this is something I can't initiate."

"What's wrong with you making the first move?"

"I've got my mind full thinking about how to make money, I don't have time for anything else."

The last time she and Chloe were kicked out of the Pearl Building by security, she experienced the hardship of being poor and powerless.

She wanted to be rich and powerful, not to be bullied.

So she had to work hard to make money, to elevate her status.

She had been poor since childhood and had gone through a lot of hard times.

Only by working hard to make money, to fatten up her wallet, would she feel more secure.

After parting ways with Oliver, she could fully focus on her own business.

Her business now belongs to her and Chloe, they don't have to worry about Oliver taking advantage of them.

In a few days, their foreign trade company was successfully launched.

The first business deal they had to negotiate was with Russia.

Although Chloe spoke Russian, she couldn't leave the hospital because Aria was sick.

Roxanne couldn't find a Russian translator at the last minute.

That night, back at East Adjacent Estates, before going to bed, Roxanne looked at Harrison.

"Harrison, you’ve been to college, right?"

"Yes." Harrison got a glass of water and walked over, "Want some?"

Roxanne was a little thirsty, she took the water, took a few sips, and then put the glass down.

"Are you free this weekend? I've arranged to meet a Russian client at the golf course to discuss business."

Harrison picked up the glass she had drunk from and finished the remaining water.

"I drank from that..."

She wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Harrison's sexy Adam's apple bobbed once, and the water went down his throat.

"Harrison, that was mine..." she said, watching him.

He calmly said, "What's wrong with that?"

After putting down the glass, he asked, "Why did you guys arrange to meet at the golf course again? It's not another client trying to take advantage of you, is it?"

"No, this time it's really about business."

She briefly explained the situation to him.

He said, "I happen to know some Russian, I should be able to help you as a translator."

Roxanne was very surprised.

She was just asking casually, she didn't expect that he would really know.

"Harrison, aren't you an IT guy? How come you know Russian?"

"I just happened to pick it up."

He asked again, "Which golf course did you book with the Russian client?"

He needed to know in advance to prepare.

"Greenside Golf Club. The fee there is sky-high. It's $280 for an 18-hole course, and the caddy charges are $16 per hour. Regardless of whether the business negotiation is successful, I have to treat Elliot to a meal after golf, which is estimated to cost $300."

Harrison was silent. "Damn, business isn't as easy as it looks."

He often visited this golf course.

He gently tousled Roxanne's hair, "Maybe I should introduce you to Rodriguez Group. You'll have a stable income and medical insurance. What do you think?"

"Harrison."

Roxanne stood in front of him, having to tilt her head slightly to meet his gaze.

Because he was too tall.

She frowned, "Why do you always want to introduce me to Rodriguez Group? Is it that easy to get into Rodriguez Group? I'm starting to doubt, is Rodriguez Group your company?"

"If I say yes, would you believe me?" Harrison looked at her seriously.

After Samuel hurriedly left, Roxanne glared at Harrison.

"He kindly brought you the car, is this how you treat your guests?"

"Is Samuel handsome?" He countered.

Roxanne frowned.

His tone was a bit cold, "You just stared at him for seven seconds."

"Seven seconds?" Roxanne laughed, "You were counting how many seconds I was looking at Samuel?"

Harrison was silent.

"Harrison, I never noticed before, you're so easily jealous."

"Now you know?" Harrison seemed a bit angry.

"Yes." Roxanne nodded with a smile, "Now I know."

Harrison turned serious, "Roxanne, do you remember the day we married, the first time you saw me, and the way you looked at me?”

"I forgot." She struggled to remember.

That day, all she could think about was getting married.

She really didn't pay attention to anything else.

Harrison said somewhat angrily, "The first time you saw me, your eyes were indifferent. You were clearly not attracted to my appearance."

"You remember that? Okay, calm down. It's just that I have a good friend who really likes guys like Samuel, and I wanted to introduce Samuel to her. I was just looking at him because I was thinking about my friend, I didn't mean anything else."

With that, Roxanne moved forward, wrapped her arms around Harrison's neck, and hugged him.

Harrison frowned, "You really didn't mean anything else?"

Roxanne nodded.

Harrison asked, "How do you plan to make it up to me?"

"Didn't I just hug you?" Roxanne cooed, "There, there, don't be upset."

"Fine!" Harrison turned his face to the side.

His handsome cheek turned towards Roxanne, his expression seemed to say: a kiss from her and he wouldn't be upset anymore.

Roxanne laughed at his antics.

In the past, he wouldn’t let anyone hug or kiss him.

Now he loved being kissed?

She stood on her toes, pecked his cheek, and saw his furrowed brow relax.

"You're not upset anymore, right?"

Harrison showed a satisfied expression and said, "Let's go, I'll cook grilled salmon for you when we get home."

......

On a weekend morning.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Roxanne and Harrison arrived at the golf course on time.

Because they were playing golf with Russian clients today, both of them were dressed casually.

Harrison's sportswear was picked by Roxanne from a street vendor, it cost only eighteen dollars.

Although it was washed very clean, this kind of clothing gets deformed after a few washes in the machine.

"Harrison, after meeting with the client, I need to go to the mall to buy you a few better sets of sportswear. This one is getting deformed."

"It's alright. Cotton clothes tend to get deformed after a few washes, it's the same even if you buy clothes for tens or hundreds of dollars."

He just likes to wear the two sets of clothes she bought for him now.

As they got out of the car, they bumped into Oliver who had just parked his car too.

Oliver saw them and frowned contemptuously.

"Roxanne, are you here to do business with Elliot today too?"

"You also have an appointment with Elliot?"

Seeing Oliver, Roxanne's good mood in the early morning vanished instantly.

"It's not me who made the appointment with Elliot, it's Elliot who contacted me. Roxanne, let me tell you the truth, my sister's husband found a connection, this time Elliot's export order is going to me, you can forget about it."

Oliver glanced at Harrison in his cheap clothes and said disdainfully, "Do you think you can get the order by bringing your husband here?"

The more Oliver looked at Harrison, the more he looked down on him.

"Harrison, did you get stupid from writing too much code? Coming to a place like this, you wear such cheap clothes? You look funny.”

Roxanne tightly held Harrison's hand and retorted unhappily, "Oliver, is there something wrong with your mouth? Your words are so unpleasant. If you're gonna talk like that, shut up and stop polluting the air."
