The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 156

Alexander suddenly felt like a total loser. He couldn't even keep a woman's heart. He scoffed at himself, saddened by the thought.

In front of him, Chloe's kids were just too adorable, especially Aria.

Aria kept shooting worried glances at him, then asked, "Feeling any better?"

Amelia had told her they were going to see a sick person, a person who had once helped her mom.

A really good guy.

On the way, Aria carried the soup Amelia made for him.

"Aren't you hungry, Alex?" Aria asked, concern radiating from her. "Amelia said you've been sick and need to eat something light."

Alexander felt his heart melting.

How could a child be so warm and considerate?

She was like a little angel.

Alexander, who was already a sucker for kids, was now head over heels for Aria.

He wondered if she'd be even more affectionate if she were his own daughter.

If he and Hazel had a kid right after their marriage, and if it were a girl, she'd probably be around Aria's age by now.

Seeing Aria made him feel less miserable.

He patted Aria's head, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Thanks, Aria. I'm starving."

He hadn't had anything since his hospital stay at noon.

In the afternoon, Hazel showed up at the hospital, desperate to divorce him.

He immediately went through with the divorce procedure.

So he was really starving by then.

His hunger was making him feel lousy.

He didn't feel like eating at all initially.

Aria's concern was like a healing force, adding a sweet warmth to his cold and aching heart.

Maybe it was because children's hearts were pure and kind. He could feel Aria's sincerity.

Hazel had fooled him for eight years.

They had been married for eight years, and he only saw Hazel's true colors when he discovered the truth.

If adults could be as innocent and beautiful as children, there would be no deception.

But the world of adults was too complex and filled with greed.

Aria hastily pulled Alexander's hand, urging him back to the bed.

"Sit down. I'll get the food for you."

Her small hand was soft and warm. She was just too cute. Despite her age, she had a powerful soothing effect. She made Alexander feel a lot warmer.

Like a good little boy, Alexander obediently sat back on the bed edge.

As Aria struggled to open the thermos, he reached out to help. "Thanks, Aria."

Aria quickly pulled out a spoon from her bag. "It's clean. I washed it. Have some soup."

Chloe, standing nearby, laughed.

Her Aria was always so considerate.

Amelia, too, was smiling.

Mr. Alexander loved little girls. He always wanted Hazel to have a daughter for him. His wish remained unfulfilled even after their divorce.

Amelia saw how much Mr. Alexander adored Aria.

He, a high-profile figure, was treating Aria so well.

If it were his own child, Mr. Alexander would probably spoil her rotten.

Alexander was then divorced.

So was Chloe.

If the two could be together, they could warm each other's hearts.

Amelia was very familiar with the Rodriguez, Reynolds, and Carter families. Those families never differentiated between people based on social status. They were all very decent families. Each of them respected people from all social classes.

Just like when she worked as a nanny for President Rodriguez, he treated her with kindness and respect. He never treated her like a servant. The benefits he provided were great, and he was also considerate of her family's needs.

The Reynolds family was no different. They were all good people.

Mr. Alexander had a sister who also had an unfortunate marriage. She was divorced too.

Mr. Alexander's sister and Chloe had similar experiences. Her ex-husband was awful to her. She was even abused. The Reynolds family would definitely empathize with Chloe's situation.

If Mr. Alexander and Chloe ended up together, the Reynolds family would feel even more for Chloe, a woman with a tough fate.

But, what was she, an old nanny, thinking about?

Mr. Alexander and Chloe barely knew each other.

Was she overthinking?

But Amelia truly wished good people like Mr. Alexander and Chloe could find a great partner, cherishing and loving each other.

Someone like Hazel didn't deserve Mr. Alexander's love at all.

Chloe was a good person. She just had bad luck with men.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mr. Alexander and Chloe were two peas in a pod!

As Alexander sipped the soup Aria brought, he noticed a difference in taste. The soup seemed tastier than what he used to have.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Amelia, this soup is exceptional. It's different from what I've had before."

Amelia chuckled, "Really? Chloe taught me. She's a great cook."

Alexander nodded, "No wonder it tastes so good."

Amelia smiled brightly, "Mr. Alexander, I've learned a lot from Chloe. Next time you visit, I'll cook for you."

"Sounds good!" Alexander agreed.

Chloe, standing nearby, looked puzzled. She found it strange.

Amelia was introduced by Roxanne's father-in-law. She should be intimidated by the wealthy, being a simple countrywoman herself. So why was she chatting so freely with Mr. Alexander?

It was like they had known each other for ages.

Chloe voiced her confusion, "Amelia, Mr. Alexander, you two seem to know each other pretty well. Did you guys meet before?"

Amelia suddenly looked a bit jittery, her eyes darting around, "Nope, it's my first time meeting Mr. Alexander. He's a real good guy though, seems like a stand-up man."

That did make sense.

Alexander never came off as the high-and-mighty kind who looked down on others. He had always been a gentleman and quite easy-going.

So, Chloe didn't think too much of it.

Alexander, sitting nearby, didn't say anything further.

If Amelia's identity was exposed, it could lead to Harrison's identity being revealed. And he had no idea how Harrison would deal with him then. He didn't want to mess up Harrison's plan of revealing his identity. Otherwise, if that guy got angry, he wouldn't stand a chance.

After nibbling on some food, Alexander felt much better.

He couldn't let his divorce bring him down. Even though he was deeply wounded, Alexander felt he still had to pull himself together and focus on his career. He was planning to hail a cab back home.

But Chloe offered to drive him.

Unable to reject Chloe's warmheartedness, Alexander didn't refuse.

The clinic was close to where she lived.

She asked Amelia to take Aria and Austin home first before getting into Roxanne’s car to drive Alexander back.

As soon as Chloe got into the car, she sneezed.
