The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 61

So, Nathaniel rushed over to pick up Sebastian, b

ut he seemed rather unwilling.

Sebastian was worried he had heard wrong. "Nathaniel, are you really going to take me back?"

"Just follow me and don't ask any questions," Nathaniel answered, his face full of impatience.

"What about your grandfather?" Sebastian was scared of Nathaniel's powerful and influential grandpa.

He had a mistress, which would not only anger his grandpa, but also his wife.

"I've taken care of my grandpa. But you need to behave when you get back. Don't cause me any trouble, and don't tell Scarlett you're my father. Scarlett's family is prestigious. If she finds out you're my father, our marriage is over. You got that?"

"Got it, got it, I won't cause any trouble."

In the office, Roxanne was surprised to see that Nathaniel was the one picking up Sebastian.

"Harrison, did you say Nathaniel was picking up Sebastian?"

"Yes."

"How did you get Nathaniel to come back for him?" Nathaniel had seemed determined to leave Sebastian with Roxanne earlier in the morning.

He despised Sebastian and was adamant about not supporting him. How could he possibly be willing to pick him up now?

Roxanne was full of questions.

Harrison suggested, "Let's go and see."

Sebastian grabbed his cane and hurried after his son.

He was afraid his son would reject him again.

Then he would have to rely on Roxanne, who

didn't like him.

Going back with his son, at least he'd have a place to stay and food to eat. He wouldn't end up on the streets.

Seeing Roxanne coming out, Nathaniel's eyes were filled with spite. "Roxanne, you're in luck."

He had initially decided to leave Sebastian with Roxanne, b

ut under pressure from the CEO, he had to let Roxanne off the hook.

Nathaniel was incredulous.

How did the CEO find out about this?

Why did the CEO care about their family affairs?

At this point, Harrison gave Nathaniel a cold look and asked,

"Are you Nathaniel?" He was confirming Nathaniel's identity.

Nathaniel's attention shifted from Roxanne to Harrison.

At first, Nathaniel was very impatient, and his tone was not very kind. "Who are you?"

But the pressure from Harrison made Nathaniel feel the heat, and he began to take Harrison seriously.

Especially when he heard Harrison's voice, it sounded familiar.

That kind of voice that could intimidate anyone instantly.

Nathaniel dared not underestimate Harrison. "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

Harrison raised his hand.

His arm gently rested on Roxanne's shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

Standing next to his sturdy body, Roxanne, who was nearly a head shorter than him, felt very safe.

Then, what Harrison said made Roxanne feel even more protected.

"I'm Roxanne's husband. Do you think you can dump this annoying old man on her just because you think she has no one to rely on? Do you think you can bully her?"

What he meant was, that as long as he was there, no one could bully Roxanne.

In the past, every time she was bullied, Roxanne had to deal with it on her own.

No one had ever protected her like this.

Harrison today made her feel very at ease.

She was like a lonely boat, drifting alone in the vast sea, facing the wind and rain helplessly.

"You're the trash, you're not fit to be human."

"You shut up..."

"Why should I? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll stir up trouble at your company. Aren't you the financial director of a big company with a six-figure salary? I'd like to see if they'd still keep you if they knew you couldn't even support your own father."

Nathaniel was genuinely scared.

Just half an hour ago, he got a call from the big boss asking him to support Sebastian.

If Roxanne stirred up trouble again, it was definitely gonna reach the boss' ears.

And by then,

he wouldn't be able to handle Roxanne.

"Roxanne, you just wait and see."

Harrison, always chill, was watching his wife like it was some kind of show.

Did she always defend him like this when others made fun of him?

And also, w

hat exactly made Roxanne think so highly of others?

After watching Nathaniel help the limping Sebastian leave, Roxanne's gaze shifted back to Harrison.

"Harrison, don't read too much into what that guy said. I don't think you're weak at all, in fact, I see great potential in you."

"Potential?" Harrison asked with a smile.

"Yep. People who've been bosses usually find it hard to adapt to working for others. But you're different. Even though you went broke, you quickly adjusted your mindset, found a proper job, and started life and hard work all over again. Just for your serious and hardworking attitude, you're a man of great potential."

Potential?

Indeed.

Harrison thought to himself, “She's really good at reading people.”

He really did have potential, he had just been hiding it too well.

He was just worried that one day when she discovered his true potential, she would be scared.
