The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 132

After picking up the phone, Roxanne put it on speaker.

Before she could even say anything, Harrison, who was on the other end of the phone, beat her to it.

“Anne, are you okay? Has the issue with your company's shutdown been resolved?”

So it was indeed he who had helped her out with the problem.

Roxanne hadn’t even asked yet, but Harrison had already addressed the issue himself.

This left Roxanne even more puzzled, and she couldn't help but ask. “Harrison, since you knew about the government investigation into my company, you must know some government officials, right? Do they refer to you as a big shot? Harrison, are you hiding something from me?”

Roxanne was more unsatisfied and a bit angry than curious.

Harrison was supposed to always be honest with her, but it seemed like he was hiding something important from her.

But then again, Harrison was very responsible and honest; he definitely wouldn’t deceive her.

But how was she supposed to interpret the fact that the official referred to him as a big shot?

She suddenly felt very irritated.

Harrison answered with ease. “I screwed up by not telling you about this earlier.

I have a relative who's a senior leader in the province. He's my father's brother, my uncle. Due to the huge gap in our social statuses, we don't usually have much contact. I rarely ask him for help.

But with this big mess you're in, I had no choice but to go to him.”

His explanation made sense, but Roxanne still felt like something was off.

“Harrison, you must have been really busy lately, right?”

Otherwise, why hadn’t he called or texted her at all?

Harrison replied, "Yeah, I've been a bit swamped."

"Then how did you know about the government shutting down my company?"

This was indeed worth pondering over.

Harrison retorted, “Didn't I tell you that I was abroad working on a project and couldn’t answer phone calls? I was worried about you, so I asked my colleague Alex to help take care of you. He went to your company the day before yesterday and saw the government officials closing it down. I just finished up today, and Alex told me about it.

So I immediately called my uncle, who's a government official.”

Harrison was very skilled at lying; he could explain away anything.

This left Roxanne without any loopholes to exploit.

Suddenly, she felt a bit ashamed. Despite being so busy, Harrison had arranged for a colleague to help look after her.

He was only trying to care for her, but she was suspecting him of hiding something from her.

She shouldn't have doubted him.

Spouses should trust each other, and her actions made her feel very guilty.

Her voice became softer, “Harrison, I'm sorry; I shouldn't have doubted you.”

“Don't be silly. I’m your husband; you don’t need to apologize. Besides, I should have told you from the beginning that I have an uncle who's a big shot in the province.”

“I understand you; even though he's a close relative, the gap in our social statuses is huge. We really shouldn’t bother your uncle often.”

“Don’t worry too much; my uncle has already talked to them. They won’t trouble you anymore.”

Roxanne felt relieved.

Harrison's big shot uncle really did help her solve a big problem, but they shouldn’t disturb him anymore in the future.

“Harrison, when are you coming back? I miss you.”

At this point, Roxanne had completely forgotten about Chloe, who was still in the car.

She was speaking from her heart. “When you're not home, it feels so lonely. I really miss you.”

Harrison explained, “Things are quite messy here. I can't come back just yet.”

His father, Vincent Rodriguez, was still in a jail, and the Justice Department was very adamant on seizing the 6G-Technology from the Rodriguez Group.

The 6G-Technology was very important to the Rodriguez Group and the entire country.

He was a dignified, responsible, patriotic, and outstanding entrepreneur.

He wouldn't yield to them.

But bringing his father back might be a bit difficult.

Roxanne expressed her concern for him over the phone.

After hearing her worry for him, Harrison comforted her a few times, not letting her know about his inner troubles.

Only then did Roxanne let down her guard.

When hanging up, they both found it hard to say goodbye.

It wasn't until Chloe's laughter filled the car that Roxanne remembered there was another person in the car.

She glanced at Chloe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and frowned slightly, "What are you laughing at?"

“I’m happy.” Chloe smiled, “You and Harrison are getting closer, and I'm happy for you.”

“Our relationship is indeed getting better.”

Roxanne's face was filled with a joyful smile and she started the engine, ready to go home.

Chloe continued, “That day when Harrison went to the office, I could feel it. You two are finally together, right?”
