The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 137

Harrison didn't bat an eyelid at Dominic's threat.

It wasn’t that he didn't care about Roxanne, but he knew Dominic like the back of his hand.

He was certain Dominic wouldn't spill his secret to Roxanne.

Dominic asked again, "You gonna spill the beans to Roxanne, or shall I do the honors?"

Harrison didn't even bother to answer.

He shot a glance at Anthony, who was opening the car door for him, and said, "You and Alexander should head back first."

Even at night, the luxurious Rolls-Royce parked in front of the motel was an eye-catcher.

"Sure, Mr. Harrison."

Anthony nodded, hopped in the driver's seat, and prepared to take off.

Alexander poked his head out of the car window, glanced at Dominic, then at Harrison.

"Harrison, is this the top hacker, Y-Spectre? Roxanne's ex?"

Harrison shot a glance at Alexander, "Roxanne is still upstairs in the motel; you and Anthony should head back first."

Alexander nodded, "Alright, I'll leave the bodyguard with you. We'll head back to Seraphim Haven. Be careful."

The black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled away.

Only then did Harrison turn his attention back to Dominic.

"Why are you always suspicious of my intentions for marrying Roxanne?"

Dominic sneered, "You, the richest man in Seraphim Haven, marrying a woman from the bottom of society. Does that make any sense?"

"Who said Roxanne is from the bottom?" Harrison retorted. "In my eyes, she's a little cutie." He loved the way Roxanne snuggled into him.

She was cute as a button, just like a little kitten.

He could lightly stroke her hair, gently kiss her cheek, and kiss her head.

His pet names for Roxanne were always so sweet.

Sometimes he called her Anne, kitten, or even cutie.

This made Dominic green with envy.

Dominic was stewing. Even his broad shoulders seemed to slump a little.

Suppressing the agony in his heart, he scoffed, "Did you come here to flaunt your love?"

"If you've noticed, then good." Harrison seemed to have everything under control.

Dominic was at a loss for words.

Harrison confidently said, "You won't expose my true identity to Roxanne."

"Why?" Dominic frowned.

Harrison was full of confidence. "Because you love her."

Because of love, he didn't want Roxanne to be plunged into despair due to Harrison’s lies and deception. He didn't want Roxanne to be upset.

Of course, Dominic probably thought his lies and deception were malicious, maybe even purposeful. But Harrison didn't need to explain to an outsider.

He just needed Dominic not to expose him in front of Roxanne. That would be enough.

Dominic was a bit vexed to see his heart be exposed. “Was I that obvious?”

Harrison was always good at observing people, never misjudging anyone.

Especially when the person Dominic loved was his wife.

Dominic fell silent.

Next, Harrison, as if proclaiming his sovereignty, said, "Even if you love her, it's too late. After all, you left Anne behind.

Now she's my woman, and she even said she's willing to have my baby."

Dominic said coldly, "Harrison, congratulations; you've successfully pissed me off."

Harrison gave him a slight smile. It was a smile full of defiance, as if he were trying to make it clear that he intended to piss him off.

Then he turned around and walked into the motel.

In the shabby motel lobby, his figure seemed even more striking.

His demeanor didn't fit in with the surrounding environment.

He'd never stayed in such a small motel in a small town before.

He walked up to the front desk and said, "Can I have a key for room 205?"

The receptionist was staring at him the whole time.

What a handsome man!

Who would have thought such a handsome man would visit a small-town motel?

This was a rare sight!

The receptionist was so engrossed in observing Harrison that she forgot what she was supposed to do.

Harrison reminded her. "Can I have a key for room 205?"

"I'm the husband of the guest staying there. This is my marriage certificate with my wife."

Of course, Harrison didn't carry his marriage certificate around with him.

Instead, he took a photo and saved it on his phone for times like these.

The receptionist looked at the marriage certificate on his phone and felt a pang of disappointment.

So he was already married.

She was actually thinking about asking for his contact.

The receptionist smiled, "Can we connect on WhatsApp?"

"No." Harrison's answer was brisk and cold. He didn't even look at her.

The receptionist quickly said, "I meant in case you needed anything during your stay, you could text me directly."

"Can't you see?" Harrison said coldly.

The coldness took the receptionist aback, "Uh..."

Harrison said coldly, "Can't you see I'm already married? I don't add any other woman's contact except my wife's."

What a cold and boring man!

The receptionist felt somewhat hurt.

Harrison still said coldly, "The key. Hurry up."

He seemed a little impatient as he tapped on the front desk.

He didn't need to be a gentleman to this calculating woman.

The receptionist quickly handed him the room key.

After getting the key, all Harrison wanted was to see Roxanne as soon as possible.

The elevator was too slow, so he headed towards the stairs.

Dominic, trailing behind, asked the receptionist, "You all like these kinds of aloof men?"

The receptionist noticed Dominic was quite handsome too.

Although he wasn't as good as the one just now, he was still a tall, handsome, and well-dressed man.

She started asking, "Can we exchange contacts?"

Dominic frowned.

Was this receptionist a man-chaser or what?

"Sorry, I'm not the type to just add someone to my contacts." Dominic said as he strode towards the elevator.

When Harrison arrived in Roxanne's room, he didn't turn on the lights.

He didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he moved gently.

Roxanne was curled up in bed, hugging a pillow, looking like a lazy kitten.

She seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Her high ponytail was loose and flowing like gentle waves, highlighting her petite face and making her look more exquisite and charming.

Harrison sat at the edge of the bed, and he couldn't help but lean down to kiss her.

He kissed her a few times, but she didn't react.

She must have been really tired.

Harrison stroked her hair, lay beside her, and gently held her.

Roxanne seemed to sense a familiar presence, so she snuggled closer into his embrace.

She raised an arm and wrapped it around Harrison's waist.

One of her legs draped over Harrison's; her whole body was basically glued to him.

Changing her sleeping position seemed to make her more comfortable and secure.

In his arms, she seemed to sleep deeper and more soundly.

He felt deeply that Harrison was deliberately provoking him by asserting his authority.

They left the motel and found a breakfast shop in town.

They planned to have breakfast and then drive back to Seraphim Haven.

Roxanne and Chloe took Aria to get breakfast.

In small-town breakfast shops, with people coming and going, the place was rather noisy and messy.

The shopkeeper was so busy that many customers had to help themselves.

Roxanne and Chloe waited there with the child.

Dominic looked at Harrison across the table. "Are you used to coming to these small shops?"

Harrison replied, "If my wife can get used to it, what's there for me not to?"

Dominic, suppressing his inner bitterness, calmly said, "I already know about your marital relationship with Roxanne; you don't need to deliberately show your affection in front of me."

Harrison replied, "You're overthinking it. This is just our daily life; we don't need to deliberately show our affection."

At that moment, Roxanne and Chloe came back with breakfast, and they ate together.

Harrison was peeling an egg for Roxanne one minute and testing the temperature of her milk the next.

He didn't let her drink until it wasn't too hot.

Even though there was no food left at the corner of Roxanne's mouth, Harrison still wiped it for her.

His actions were filled with affection and love.

It seemed like he was deliberately trying to get under Dominic's skin.

Since Dominic gave up his contract with EastTech Consortium for Roxanne, he still had feelings for her.

He wanted to let Dominic know that Anne was his.

Nobody could take her away.

Dominic thought Harrison was overstepping. Did he really need to provoke him like this?

Dominic came up with a plan to retaliate. "Harrison, I saw you getting out of a Rolls Royce last night; whose car was that? It's pretty fancy, huh?"

"Really?" Roxanne turned to Harrison, asking with a puzzled look on her face, "Harrison, did you come in a Rolls Royce yesterday? Where did you get a Rolls Royce?"

If he said he rented it, he definitely couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for it.

He was just an IT employee working in programming; how could he afford to rent a Rolls Royce?

Saying it was his own car was even more impossible.

This was clearly a trap set by Dominic.

He looked up, giving Dominic a glance.

Even though his gaze was cold and calm, there was a silent battle when it met Dominic's.

Harrison maintained his composure, "Our boss, Mr. Caleb, is from Amberfield; he happened to be going back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors yesterday, so I got a ride."

"Oh, Mr. Caleb seems to be a nice guy."

Roxanne had a deep impression of Mr. Caleb.

Last time, Mr. Caleb even helped her teach Nathaniel Martinez a lesson.

She completely believed what Harrison said.

Dominic chuckled, "Is that so? I thought it was your own fancy car."

"I don't have the money to buy a Rolls Royce." Harrison replied.

After breakfast, the two men went to get the car.

When they were alone, Harrison looked at Dominic coldly.

Dominic asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Harrison said coldly.

"Why can you show off your love for Roxanne in front of me, but I can't threaten you?" Dominic retorted.

Harrison responded, "Do you think that even if you tell Roxanne who I am, it can affect our feelings for each other?"

Dominic calmly said, "I have never thought about destroying your relationship."

"Really?"

It was clear that he still had feelings for Roxanne.

After seeing how much Harrison cared about Roxanne, Dominic couldn't help but question whether a wealthy man from Seraphim Haven would really fall in love with a common woman from the bottom of society.
