The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 177

Alexander had no reply.

Harrison texted, “You're such a fool; can't you see that Hazel is not a loyal woman?”

When Alexander hastily chose to marry Hazel, Harrison tried to advise him.

He suggested Alexander take more time to observe this woman.

Although Hazel is a well-known lady in their social circles, known for her good upbringing.

But Harrison believed Hazel's gentleness and rationality were only surface-level.

So when Alexander decided to marry Hazel, Harrison tried to dissuade him, which had strained their relationship.

At the time, Alexander considered marrying Hazel an incredible stroke of luck.

He had liked Hazel since he was a child and had expressed his feelings to her.

However, Hazel's attitude towards Alexander had always been ambiguous. Her hot-and-cold attitude had always given Alexander hope.

How could Alexander not be excited when Hazel finally agreed to marry him? He immediately arranged the wedding. He poured all his energy and thoughts into putting on a grand wedding. That wedding caused a sensation in the entire city.

Now, looking back, Alexander realized that Hazel's attitude towards him was all calculated. She had him as a backup option all along. She only chose him because she couldn't get what she needed from her long-term separation with Dean Langley.

Alexander was such a fool.

Alexander stood by the window, watching Hazel still waiting outside his villa, like a lost spirit in the bushes, he chuckled bitterly.

He sent Harrison a message, which read, “Harrison, I'm really envious of you. Although you got married a bit late, you did meet a good wife. Roxanne is a good woman.”

Harrison looked at Roxanne holding Austin busy. He felt a bit down. After all, being interrupted at the peak of passion was quite dissatisfying.

So he continued chatting with Alexander, suggesting that Alexander should also try to develop a relationship with Chloe. After all, Chloe is a good woman, too.

If Alexander and Chloe could get together, he and Roxanne wouldn't have to help Chloe take care of the kids anymore. They could have more time to enjoy their world of two.

Alexander asked, “You're hoping I'll become the stepdad to Aria and Austin so that they won't disturb your intimate moments, right?”

Harrison replied, “Don't you like kids?”

Aria and Austin are indeed good kids.]

But considering he just got divorced, he had no mood to start a new relationship, and he had become more cautious about love.

However, he had thought about it: Chloe indeed was a good woman, and she would make a good wife.

Alexander could accept that she was divorced and had two kids.

But he hadn't gotten over the shadow of his last marriage, he didn't want to start a new relationship now, and he was not that lonely.

If he were to marry again, he certainly wouldn't act impulsively like the last time.

Wasn't marriage about spending a lifetime together?

If the two can't promise a lifetime, they must deliberate carefully.

Roxanne had a hard time getting Austin to sleep, and it took her two full hours.

The child had a habit of being held to sleep.

After putting Austin to sleep, Roxanne was exhausted.

But Harrison had been waiting for her.

Seeing her put Austin down, he walked over, lightly embracing her slim waist.

He kissed her earlobe.

"Harrison, stop messing around, I'm exhausted."

Harrison went over.

He tried his best to attract her attention.

Roxanne was really tired, and she shrugged off his wandering hand.

"Harrison, I'm exhausted, can we sleep? We'll talk about it next time?"

Her weak voice was filled with exhaustion.

Hearing this, Harrison's heart ached.

He had to remove his hand from underneath her clothes.

His mood dropped immediately. But he understood Roxanne.

He gently held her, lightly rubbing her head, "Let's sleep then, babe. I won't disturb you anymore."

Roxanne mumbled, "Taking care of a kid is so tiring. I need to work hard to make money, when we have kids, I'll definitely hire a good nanny and babysitter."

With that, she fell asleep.

Harrison wanted to tell her she didn't need to work so hard to make money. He could hire nannies and babysitters for her. Even if he had to hire ten or eight, it wouldn't be a problem.

But she was already snoring. The sound was not loud. A soft, quiet sound, like a tired little cat curled up in his arms.

Harrison stroked her head, whispering, "Silly wife, I have enough money. You don't need to work so hard to afford a nanny."

She was always so independent.

Women like her never wanted to rely on men.

Harrison felt helpless.

Other men might wish their women to be capable, able to make money, and not clingy.

But he wished Roxanne could rely on him more, leaving all her free time to him.

But if that were the case, she wouldn't be herself anymore.

How could he deprive her of her right to choose to be independent?

The next day.

It was a sunny day.

Almost every day of winter in Seraphim Haven was sunny.

The temperature was also over twenty degrees.

But with the sea breeze, it was still a bit chilly.

Chloe and Alexander sat in the large dining room, having breakfast.

The breakfast was prepared by Alexander, who got up early.

Floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded three sides of his dining room.

The windows overlooked a garden.

The scenery was beautiful.

From the moment he stepped into the kitchen, Hazel, who had been waiting outside the villa all night, had been frantically banging on the glass.

She was bawling her eyes out and pleading non-stop.

She was trying to win Alexander’s sympathy and affection with her pitiful look.

Seeing Hazel always stirred up a whirlwind of emotions in Alexander.

Hatred, pain, resentment, regret, heartache, and even pity.

After all, Hazel was once his one and only.

But in less than a month, Hazel had shattered all his sympathy and love for her.

The feelings they once shared and the beautiful memories they had, she destroyed them all.

Alexander was constantly troubled by this woman's incessant harassment and moral pressure.

No matter how Hazel banged on the window.

No matter how hard she cried.

No matter how she collapsed in despair in front of the window, appearing so desperate and in pain, Alexander didn't open the door for her.

To be soft-hearted towards her again would be cruel and irresponsible to himself.

His feelings had already been deeply hurt. Was he going to let her hurt him again?

So, until Chloe came down for breakfast, Alexander showed no mercy.

The two of them sat at the dining table, pretending to be happy.

Alexander fed Chloe a sandwich.

Chloe had Alexander drink milk.

He tousled her hair.

She gave him a gentle smile.

They looked like a really sweet couple.

Chloe even thought, if she could really be with such an excellent Mr. Alexander, would her life take a dramatic turn?

Wait, what was she thinking?

Such unrealistic thoughts.

Thinking about it, Mr. Alexander was so excellent, almost a perfect man.

And her? Divorced with a kid, she felt like a mess.
