The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 189

"Why don't you mind your own beeswax?" Alexander rolled his eyes at him.

Did he really need to remind him that Chloe was a good woman?

Alexander knew that as clear as day.

It was just that he had just gotten divorced and wasn't ready to jump into another relationship so soon.

One by one, everyone plopped down on the living room couch.

Roxanne also came downstairs.

As she walked towards them, Roxanne's gaze landed on Alexander.

"Mr. Alexander, did you come to Novaria to pick up Chloe because you missed her?"

"What are you talking about?" Chloe shot Roxanne a glare.

Then she hurried to explain. "I heard you were kidnapped, and I was freaking out. I was worried about you, so I asked Mr. Alexander for help. Do you think the embassy would have been able to send a helicopter so quickly to rescue you otherwise?"

While sitting in front of the couch, Harrison reached out to pull Roxanne to his side. "We really owe Mr. Alexander big time this time. If it were up to the embassy to send a helicopter for the search, it would have taken much longer due to bureaucracy. Mr. Alexander really helped speed up the process of finding you."

Alexander chimed in. "And kudos to Dominic for pinpointing Roxanne's location, enabling the embassy staff to rescue her successfully."

"But let's not forget how badass Roxanne is, managing to escape from those goons all by herself." Harrison said, holding Roxanne's hand.

With a furrowed brow, he added. "Roxanne, there's something I need to come clean about."

Roxanne locked eyes with him.

He looked dead serious as he confessed. "Before I went broke, I was an IT programmer, but I was also a hacker. I worked for some international criminal gangs, pissed off some people, and had some run-ins with foreign bad guys. They kidnapped you to try and scare me."

No wonder those goons kept mentioning Harrison's name and talking about him having a secret identity.

All the pieces in Roxanne's puzzled mind fell into place.

She began to worry. "Will they continue to threaten you in the future? Will they seek revenge?"

"You're absolutely safe here at home." Harrison assured her.

Roxanne was still frowning and clutched Harrison's hand tightly. "Honey, are you in danger?"

A look of worry was etched all over her face.

Her brows knitted together tightly.

She really cared about him. She really cared a lot.

But she was incredibly easy to fool.

Realizing that he had been fooling her for so long, Harrison felt a pang of guilt.

He reached out to pat her head. "You're really sweet and adorable when you call me honey."

He rarely heard her call him that.

Only during their most intimate moments would she address him like that.

Harrison let out a soft laugh.

A laugh that was somewhat heart-fluttering.

"Harrison," Roxanne's face turned serious. "Are the bad guys you pissed off going to continue to mess with you?"

At this moment, Dominic also came over to reassure her. "Don't worry, we're absolutely safe once we get back home. Those bad guys can only act tough overseas."

Roxanne looked at Dominic, then back at her man.

Both of these guys seemed to have issues.

"Harrison, I forgot to ask, why do you call him Domi? It’s like you guys go way back."

She had sensed something was off between these two before.

Little did she know, Dominic had also joined Harrison's fibbing squad.

He looked at Roxanne and said, "After we broke up seven years ago, I also switched careers to become a hacker because it paid well, but it came with high risks."

"I wanted to do something legit later on, so I joined the IT department of Rodriguez Group and met Harrison."

They had prepared a flawless lie.

They took turns telling Roxanne their story.

Roxanne had no reason to doubt them.

She knew that some of the jobs hackers took on were indeed illegal and risky, so that was why Harrison didn't tell her, right?

His long, defined hand went to her pajama buttons, slowly unbuttoning them.

Her delicate skin was revealed, and he took it in, inch by inch.

After kissing her collarbone, he lifted his head as his mind filled with desire. His eyes portrayed his lustful thoughts and the flames of passion that he wished to ignite. "Anne, I have a project to discuss with you."

"What project?" Roxanne smiled sweetly.

Harrison gently lifted his thin lips. "I want to break ground on you and plant a seed that belongs to us."

"You naughty boy, you're getting more and more cheeky." Roxanne gently poked his forehead.

His finger gently slid down as he continued to kiss her.

That night, their exotic lovemaking was wild. Just like the romantic atmosphere between the two of them.

Harrison led Roxanne into a wonderful world of love. It was like she was surfing on the blue sea; she felt wave after wave reaching the peak and wave after wave falling down, all night long.

That kind of state was so blissful that it felt unreal.

In the morning.

They returned to Seraphim Haven together.

In the car, Chloe and Roxanne sat together.

After looking at Roxanne's rosy complexion, Chloe sneaked a smile.

In the minivan, there were three other men and a driver. Chloe leaned over to Roxanne's ear and whispered a joke.

"Anne, Harrison was gentle with you last night, wasn't he? You look so satisfied."

Roxanne didn't say anything.

Chloe saw that her skin looked amazing.

Just yesterday, she looked tired, but now she seemed nourished and was practically glowing. "Anne, you look radiant. You have the look of a rich lady."

Knowing that Harrison was the richest man in Seraphim Haven, Chloe started joking with Roxanne.

Roxanne was clueless about what Chloe was implying and glared at her. "I have my Harrison; I don't want to be a rich lady!"

Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Silly girl, aren't you the richest lady in Seraphim Haven already?
