The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 97

Roxanne turned to Harrison. "Harrison, you should explain to my good friend here that it was your idea for us to sleep in separate beds after we got married. Otherwise, she'll think I'm not treating you well."

Harrison replied casually, "Yeah, that was my call."

After a while, Harrison took a phone call and then excused himself.

Chloe pulled Roxanne aside and asked, "Anne, if it really was Harrison's idea, doesn't it seem odd that he doesn't get tempted seeing you looking so gorgeous every day?"

"You're overthinking it," Roxanne said honestly. "Harrison is attracted to me. He's just more old-fashioned."

"Just how old-fashioned does he have to be to resist you for two whole months?"

"That just shows how principled and respectful Harrison is, he's not some playboy."

"Is he...gay or something?"

"What on earth are you thinking?" Roxanne playfully pinched Chloe, defending her man.

Chloe giggled, "Already jumping to his defense, aren’t you?"

"Of course," Roxanne laughed too, "He's my man."

Harrison returned from his call, seeing them both laughing heartily, and he asked, "What are you two chatting about? You seem so cheerful."

Roxanne said, "Well, just discussing our moving plans and inviting Chloe over to help. Moving to a new place should be a lively affair."

She continued, "Harrison, Chloe is my only close friend in Seraphim Haven. I don't want to mix work and personal life. You can invite some friends and family too."

Harrison replied, "I don't really have friends in Seraphim Haven."

His friends were successful and influential figures, not just in Seraphim Haven but nationally. He didn't like media attention and preferred to keep his personal life private. His friends were all public figures, either successful entrepreneurs or rich heirs. With the widespread reach of the internet, Roxanne and Chloe would definitely recognize them if they came over, thus his true identity would be exposed.

Roxanne said, "What about the person who lent you the 100k you asked me for? Isn't he your friend? You guys must be close."

Seeing no way out of this, Harrison had to agree, "Alright, I'll invite him over."

Roxanne took a tour around the new house. She was initially looking for what additional household items they needed to buy. To her surprise, the place was fully stocked, even with toiletries included.

She didn't need to buy anything else, just move in..

She was just curious about why there could be such a good developer.

When they got home, Roxanne and Harrison decided to move the following Saturday. She reminded him, "Harrison, make sure you invite your friends. We need a crowd to make it lively. A housewarming party should be fun."

Harrison responded, "It's not the right time yet."

Alexander added, "And I wanted to ask Roxanne about her friend Chloe's divorce proceedings. But it's not appropriate for me to contact Chloe directly."

Harrison asked, "Are you interested in Chloe?"

Alexander replied, "What are you talking about? I'm married. I just don't like seeing men abuse women. I hope Chloe can get out of her situation. I have a sister, so I understand the impact of domestic violence."

Alexander suddenly thought of Samuel, who was still single. He looked at him and suggested, "Samuel, you're single. How about waiting for Chloe's divorce to finalize, and then after Harrison reveals his true identity to Roxanne, she can introduce Chloe to you?"

Samuel retorted, "Are you kidding? Why would I marry a divorcee?"

Alexander criticized, "Samuel, that's not right. What's wrong with a woman who's been divorced? When a woman gets married, she expects to spend her life with her husband. Unless she's not committed to the relationship in the beginning. Who would willingly get a divorce without being pushed to the limit?"

Alexander's sister had been through the whole divorce thing. He knew all too well how tough it can be for a woman who'd been through a divorce. So, he never looked down on divorced women.

He went off on a long rant, schooling Samuel about the hardships of divorced women and why they deserved to be cherished. Samuel got a headache listening to it all, "Alright, alright, you're into divorced women. And you would like to leave your wife Hazel, and then go find a divorced woman, is that what you're saying?"

Alexander: "How on earth could I make my wife Hazel a divorced woman? I plan to spend the rest of my life with her."
