The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 301

"Maybe I'm just a bit tired," Roxanne didn’t overthink it.

Unbeknownst to her, at that very moment, Evelyn cast a furtive glance at the plate of cupcakes in Roxanne's hand.

The two cupcakes she had laced with something were bound to have an effect, dizziness being the least of them. Soon enough, a feverish sensation would likely follow.

"Roxanne, if you're feeling under the weather, let me take care of Angie for you. I'm quite fond of my niece, you know. Go take a break," Evelyn suggested.

Roxanne found the nearest chair, pulled it over, and plopped down, massaging her temples, "I'll just sit for a bit."

Evelyn immediately went to report the situation to Harrison.

At that time, Harrison was busy entertaining Angela and the other kids. Evelyn pulled Harrison aside into a quiet corner, "Harrison, Roxanne's feeling a bit off. Maybe you should take her somewhere to rest?"

After all, the hotel was owned by the Rodriguez family. It would be no trouble at all to open up one of the luxurious suites for a private retreat - a perfect opportunity for a long-overdue romantic reconciliation.

Evelyn couldn't help the mischievous grin that spread across her face at the thought. She was itching to see Harrison and her sister-in-law patch things up. After all, the two of them were still madly in love with each other.

And once they made up, little Angie would have the complete family she deserved.

Upon hearing of Roxanne's discomfort, Harrison's brow furrowed with concern, "What's wrong with her?"

He scanned the bustling crowd until his eyes landed on Roxanne, who sat in a corner chair, her eyes closed, looking utterly drained. Without hesitation, he strode toward her.

Dominic happened to overheard the conversation and followed closely behind, his concern evident, "Is Roxanne alright? It's nothing serious, I hope?"

Evelyn felt a pang of sadness. Dominic's worry for Roxanne was a testament to his deep love for her. As Evelyn's gaze shifted from Dominic's tense profile back to Roxanne, her own eyes filled with a tinge of melancholy.

Her eyelashes blinked with dispiritedness; she thought to herself, “Dominic, oh Dominic, when will you worry about me the way you worry about her?”

But Evelyn wasn't jealous. How could she be? The one Dominic was worrying was her sister-in-law. Roxanne was a woman with a unique soul, someone she admired deeply.

If Evelyn hadn't been born into wealth and shared the same tragic fate of being abandoned by her parents, she doubted she could have lived as vibrantly as Roxanne had. Despite being the most affluent lady of Seraphim Haven, her true role model was her sister-in-law.

Roxanne, without a college degree, had managed to build her own company and earn millions annually, all on her own. If Evelyn were in her shoes, without the resources of her family, she'd probably be just another struggling worker.

So Evelyn admired Roxanne profoundly, and Dominic's deep affection for her sister-in-law was something she could not begrudge. Such a woman who stood more excellent than her, what was Dominic being jealous about?

Suddenly, Harrison flicked Dominic a glance, "Why don't you check on her?"

"You're mocking me." Dominic replied with a grimace, "You know it's not appropriate for me to go."

He didn't want to argue with Harrison. It was, after all, more fitting for Harrison to tend to Roxanne.

Harrison said seriously, "Roxanne can't stand me right now. I'm afraid my presence might just make things worse."

He was walking on eggshells, afraid of upsetting Roxanne, who preferred to keep her distance. And so he did the same, which wasn't easy.
