The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 300

"Just wait and see."

A playful smirk danced in Evelyn's sharp eyes.

"It's not a harebrained scheme; it could help you win back Roxanne."

Evelyn's eyes sparkled with conviction. In the end, it was all about love and passion.

Her sister-in-law and Harrison, had been apart for too long, deprived of both love and sex. Once these two elements were present, things would naturally fall into place and their relationship would mend.

Evelyn began to prepare.

Today was Angela's third birthday party. Naturally, Angela was the star of the show. Everyone surrounded her.

However, they didn't invite many people, just close family and best friends. Among them were Chloe and her two children, Aria and Austin.

Eleven-year-old Aria was already blossoming into a young lady. Austin was a little over four.

This brother-sister duo adored Angela. They happily devoured cake together.

Watching these three children, Chloe marveled at how quickly time passed; the children were growing up.

Chloe had her kids at a young age, giving birth to Aria when she was barely twenty-one. Now that Aria was eleven, she was only thirty-two.

After her divorce, Chloe felt like she was given a new lease on life. With Roxanne partnering with her in a business venture, she had achieved some success in her career.

With Roxanne, she held shares in the company and managed to save ten thousands each year after expenses.

Though she had to care for Aria and Austin, with the money, she could provide a better life for her children and spare time for meaningful pursuits, like studying, reading, traveling, or engaging in sports.

In short, after divorcing Oliver, she no longer had to beg a man for money, which was a great relief.

Her current state and mindset were much better than before. In fact, she looked younger.

She had undergone some cosmetic procedures and coupled with regular exercise, Chloe's complexion had improved significantly, her body more toned.

Sometimes, when she walked down the street with Aria, they looked like sisters. Over the past three years, Alexander had been busy, often traveling out of town or abroad for work, and rarely saw Chloe.

After Hazel Dawson left, Alexander didn't need Chloe to pretend to be his girlfriend anymore. They hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

Today, Chloe was dressed in a vibrant green tracksuit, looking full of life.

Alexander studied her face for a moment; when Chloe caught his inscrutable gaze, her heart skipped a beat.

She hurriedly wiped her face, "Did I get any frosting on my face?"

She had been careful while eating the cake. After wiping her face, she found nothing. What was Alexander looking at?

"You didn't put on any makeup today, did you?" He noticed she was bare-faced, "How did you get rid of the spots on your face?"

"Oh." Chloe laughed off, "I had some cosmetic treatments to remove them, and then followed up with some herbal treatments."

Alexander complimented, "You look significantly younger and prettier."

A bad marriage could be a severe drain on a woman. Not only did it rob her of her youth and beauty, but it also shattered her confidence.

Now looking at Chloe, Alexander found her quite confident.

"Your business with Roxanne is doing better and better, isn't it?" He made small talk.

She delicately took a bite of her cake, nodding with a smile, "Yes, it's going well. Roxanne's dividends for me are increasing every month."

"Women indeed need to have their own careers," Alexander couldn't help but admire these two best friends.

"Roxanne's determination was right. She not only gave herself the means to support herself, she also pulled you out of the dire straits of a failed marriage."

Chloe now had bristled with confidence and grace, as if she had changed into another person.

Only a mom's personal touch can provide the warmth she desired, but it tired her out.

Until now, she hadn't even eaten any slice of the cake. When she took the piece from Evelyn's hand, she took a big bite.

"This cream is so smooth."

Perhaps she was hungry, but the cake tasted heavenly. Before she knew it, she had eaten more than half of it. But then she frowned, "Why does it smell like liquor?"

"Oh." Evelyn quickly explained, "This cake was specially made by an Italian chef that Harrison found. The jam inside it was fermented by him, so it has a liquor aroma. Tasty, right?"

"It's definitely unique."

Seeing that she had quickly finished her slice, Evelyn hurriedly got another one, "Is it good? Have another, you haven't eaten much tonight."

She was indeed hungry. Roxanne ate two pieces of cake.

During a pause, she looked at Evelyn with guilty eyes, "Evelyn, I'm really sorry about the whole Dominic situation. I've taken up three years of his time. I've only just realized that two people without feelings for each other can't be forced together. Evelyn, will you hold a grudge against me for what happened?"

"Ah, I don't worry about it anymore, Roxanne. You needn't feel guilty. You don't owe me anything. Love is all about mutual consent. Dominic not accepting me has nothing to do with you. I truly won't blame you, so don't carry any guilt."

Evelyn was such a good girl! Roxanne liked her even more. She took her as a sister.

Roxanne said earnestly, "Evelyn, Dominic is soft-hearted. As long as you stay persistent, he will eventually turn around and see you."

"Don't worry about me. I'm the kind of person who will keep going even if I stumble. I won't give up." Evelyn pledged, "I have my ways to win Dominic over."

It was Roxanne and Harrison's growing distance that was really bothering her instead.

"Why do I feel a bit dizzy?" Roxanne held her forehead and shook her head.

Evelyn felt a little guilty but tried to remain composed as she supported Roxanne, "Could it be that you're too tired?"
