The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 182

Harrison's sexy, thin lips moved slightly, kissing Roxanne's pretty earlobe. Lifting his head, his eyes were filled with affection and desire, staring at her as if he wanted to draw her into his whirlpool of deep feelings.

"Tonight, you're all mine," he said.

Steam rose from the pool, reflecting the serene and captivating night. In the night, Harrison's voice was even lower and more enticing.

Roxanne was helpless. They'd been in the water for so long, and this man wanted to continue? She tried to climb down from Harrison, pressing her toes down towards the bottom of the pool.

"No more. I want to go to bed," she said.

But he held her tightly, preventing her from touching the bottom of the pool.

"Harrison, let me down. I need to dry my hair and go to bed," she said.

"Call me darling," he said.

"Alright, darling, let me go. The client has sent the contract to my mailbox, and I have to go over it with Chloe in the morning," Roxanne said.

Harrison still held her tightly, raising his eyebrows, "Is the contract written in Portuguese?"

"Yes," Roxanne answered.

"Then I can help you review the contract to see if there are any issues," he said.

"You speak Portuguese?" Roxanne asked.

"I know a bit," Harrison answered.

He was fluent in several languages but always modestly said he only knew a bit.

In fact, he couldn't fully tell her his abilities. Otherwise, she would suspect him again.

"Was it you who helped me with that Russian order last time? You speak not only Russian but also Portuguese?" Roxanne asked.

"Why do I feel like you're capable of anything?" Roxanne asked again.

"I told you, I studied other languages in college, including Portuguese," Harrison said, his tone very calm.

In reality, he learned foreign languages not in college but from a very young age with his siblings, receiving an education higher than average. They were from a wealthy family, and their learning tasks were heavy from a young age. The elders in the family often said that to grasp more of society's resources, they must be better than the average person. Otherwise, they wouldn't be entitled to stand at the top of society, enjoying the best resources at the top of the food chain.

Harrison lifted Roxanne out of the water, draped a towel around her, then wrapped one around himself. He took her to take a shower, and by the time he was drying her hair, she had fallen asleep on his lap.

His fingers ran through her soft hair, all the way to the ends. "This little girl!" he muttered to himself.

Her sleeping posture was becoming more and more like a gentle kitten. He figured she must be tired from his shenanigans.

He had wanted to be intimate with her again, but seeing her so tired, he decided to let her off the hook for the night. After all, they could have a proper honeymoon in Novaria once she finished her work.

Harrison put down the hairdryer, carefully moving Roxanne's head off his lap, then carrying her to the head of the bed, gently laying her down. He switched off the light, lay down next to her, and fell asleep holding her.

Roxanne felt a familiar presence in her sleep and comfortably leaned into him.

Even when they slept, they were always in each other's arms.

Early the next morning, Harrison got up early and turned off Roxanne's alarm clock.

Then, he began to review all the contract signing materials for Roxanne's deal alone.

Her materials were thoroughly prepared.

Just as she had said, her work was very reliable.

She had been paying attention to this company in Novaria for several years, going through all their company documents to ensure they were genuinely interested in doing business with her.

Harrison had also helped her review the contract.

Everything was fine.

The profits were just a bit low.

However, the income was stable with a large trading volume and long-term cooperation.

No wonder Roxanne wanted to mortgage her house to get a loan to open a factory.

This way, she could save the price difference of outsourcing, ensure export quality, and reduce costs.

He patiently went through all these materials to ensure that Roxanne's contract signing went without a hitch.

Then he received a call from Alexander. "Harrison, your wife's deal can be signed. There are no issues. You can rest assured; her work is reliable."

"Your Chloe is also very outstanding," Harrison said, holding his phone and walking to the bedroom balcony, "I heard from Anne that Chloe was the one who negotiated this contract."

Alexander asked, "What do you mean 'my Chloe'? How is Chloe mine?"

"Isn't she?" Harrison leaned casually against the railing, one hand on the railing, the other holding his phone. His long legs were casually propped up on the railing.

He glanced at Roxanne inside through the sliding glass door. Looking at her, he felt very peaceful and comfortable.

He chatted casually with Alexander, "I'm waiting for your good news. Alex, seriously, you should consider marrying Chloe. She's much better than Hazel."

Alexander said, "I just got divorced. I haven't recovered yet. Don't rush me."

Harrison retorted, "The best way to heal a broken heart is to start a new relationship."

Alexander stated, "I'm not particularly in need of a woman."

Harrison said, "A woman who can be good friends with Anne must also be a good woman. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one."

Alexander said, "You just love to praise your wife."

Harrison asked, "Don't I?"

Birds of a feather flock together. A woman who has been good friends with Roxanne for more than twenty years must be as excellent and beautiful as her.

"I'm hanging up now," Alexander didn't want to listen to him prattle on.

In fact, thinking about his pretend relationship with Chloe, the corners of Alexander's mouth lifted slightly.

Today, he and Amelia were going to pick up Aria from school together.

Alexander was suddenly looking forward to it.

The little girl was really very cute, very likable.

The matter with Hazel didn't seem to bother him as much anymore.

Aria got out of school at exactly four fifty in the afternoon.

Alexander and Amelia had plans for him to pick her up at four in the afternoon and head to school together.

“Samuel.” At 3:40 in the afternoon, he walked into Samuel's office, “If there's any business with the group, you handle it. I'm picking up Aria.”

Samuel looked up from his computer screen, frowning, “Harrison is with Roxanne. You're helping pick up Chloe's kid. You two aren't been focused on work lately. You trying to work me to death?”

“With great power comes great responsibility,” Alexander slapped Samuel on the shoulder, chuckling, “Because you're the most capable among us.”

“I don't agree.” Samuel brushed Alexander's hand away, “I want to chase girls too. Who wants to work overtime every day?”

“Then go chase them.” Alexander joked, “Nora has been single for so many years. You should take the initiative and go after her.”

“Who told you I want to pursue Nora?” Samuel laughed, “She's a goddess. I'm not good enough for her.”

Alexander asked, “You admit it, don't you?”

“What if I admit?” Samuel laughed again.

His laughter looked a bit mischievous. But there was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his laughing eyes.

“Nora's heart is with Harrison; I can't get her.”

Alexander again patted Samuel on the shoulder.

He said, “Nora is different from Hazel. Even though Nora has Harrison in her heart, she never does anything that makes Harrison unhappy. Look how long Harrison and Roxanne have been married. When has Nora ever stirred up trouble? She quietly wishes Harrison and Roxanne well; she's a rare, kind-hearted girl. If you like her, go after her; time waits for no one. Nora's almost thirty. Do you want her to be a spinster?”

Samuel, with a smile on his face, seemed to be thinking.
