The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 214

Harrison checked the notifications on his phone.

Roxanne had withdrawn two hundred grand from his bank account.

She had started using the bank card he gave her.

Did that mean she was no longer pissed off?

"Head to the office." Harrison decided not to have Anthony tailing her anymore.

The traffic light at the crossroad turned green.

Roxanne released the brake and sped up.

Anthony, however, made a U-turn from the left turn lane and headed back to the Rodriguez Group.

Roxanne drove her Bugatti to the Era Plaza.

Half an hour before, the Bugatti had a run-in with a Porsche. The headlight was slightly tilted, and the paint was scratched.

But none of that stopped it from drawing people's attention.

A luxury car was indeed a luxury car.

Those who looked at her were all green with envy.

But she didn't seem to be very happy.

She called Chloe and asked her out.

Knowing she was feeling down, Chloe left her two sick kids at home under Amelia's care.

“Anne, why have you brought me to the Era Plaza? It's all luxury stores here. Everything is so pricey.”

Chloe always felt out of place in those high-end venues.

Coming from a rural area and being a divorced single mom, she felt like a fish out of water there.

“Don't sweat it. Have you forgotten? I'm now the wife of the richest man and the lady of a wealthy family. I can afford it.”

Roxanne held Chloe's arm and walked into the store.

“Come, let me buy you a gift.”

“Anne, you seem off today. Did you have a fight with Harrison?”

Roxanne walked into a high-end women's clothing store and started picking clothes for Chloe.

After selecting a piece, she held it up against Chloe and said, “We didn’t have a fight.”

“No fight?” Chloe was skeptical.

Harrison had shut down her company, fired all her employees, and ruined her business.

It was such a big incident. There had to have been a fight, right?

“Go try it on.” Roxanne shoved the clothes into Chloe's arms.

“I'm not in the mood to try on clothes now. What the hell happened between you and Harrison?”

“Nothing really. Now go try on the clothes.”

Roxanne chose to get some fresh air instead of arguing with Harrison, just to cool down.

She needed to think about their marriage.

Think about that peculiar encounter.

In fact, she was really pissed off.

She just didn't show it.

She forced Chloe to try on clothes, bought her a ton of clothes, and also picked out a bunch for Aria and Austin.

She bought stuff for herself, too.

All of it was paid with Harrison's bank card.

In the CEO's office on the 89th floor of the Rodriguez Group.

Harrison's phone kept receiving spending notifications.

Your bank card ending in 0038 has spent $7,800 at 10:05.

Your bank card ending in 0038 has spent $19,000 at 10:40.

Your bank card ending in 0038 has spent $60,000 at 11:05.

When the first notification came in, the corner of Harrison's mouth curled up slightly.

His mood was also great.

He thought that Roxanne finally understood how to use his bank card and was happily living the life of a wealthy lady.

But the frequent card swipes made Harrison feel like something was off.

That wasn't Roxanne's style.

Roxanne looked at him and said, “I used your card today and bought a lot of things. You must've received the spending notifications, right?”

“Mm.” Harrison said, “Buy whatever you like. Don't worry about the money.”

Roxanne forced a smile, “Harrison, I’m using your card and spending your money. Are you happy? You must be very happy, right?”

Her smile gradually faded.

Her expression turned cold and annoyed, “But I'm not happy, Harrison.”

Then her words were filled with emotions.

“Harrison, it's natural for a wife to use her husband's money. Because we're family. If I run out of money or encounter a problem I can't solve, I would gladly accept your help. But Harrison, you abruptly shut down my company without discussing with me. You were really too arbitrary.”

Harrison frowned, "Anne, what's so bad about being a full-time housewife?"

"We shouldn't argue any further." Roxanne made a halt gesture and said, "Let's eat."

No matter how pissed off she was, she had to eat first.

Roxanne quickly finished her meal and was the first to leave the table.

Harrison hadn't even started eating.

The nanny asked, "Mr. Rodriguez, your food and soup are cold. Want me to heat them up for you?"

"No need." Harrison got up and headed upstairs.

He didn't enjoy the meal at all.

Roxanne was spending the night in the guest room.

The door was locked from the inside.

Harrison took out his key and unlocked the door from the outside.

"Roxanne, I want to talk to you." He stood at the door.

Roxanne was flipping through a book by her bedside, "If you don't agree with me going back to work, then we have nothing to talk about."

"Please come back to our bedroom." Harrison seemed to be apologizing.

Roxanne continued reading her book, "I'm fine spending the night here."

Harrison didn't say anything else. He walked over and attempted to carry her back to their bedroom.

She struggled fiercely, not letting him carry her. Harrison had no choice but to lift her up and firmly walk back to their bedroom.
