The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 323

Harrison choked back a sob as the weight of the situation bore down on him.

Evelyn had always been the picture of responsibility.

Never a burden to her family, always thinking of others before herself.

Truth be told, Evelyn was a spirited, playful soul, a lover of unbridled freedom.

But from a young age, she had been saddled with the legacy of her family's enterprise. While other kids basked in the carefree days of youth, she was mastering every skill she could, with no time left for play.

When her peers were free to fall in and out of love on a whim, Evelyn had already taken the reins of the Miller Group, a colossal empire. She forced herself to rein in her vivacity, becoming a formidable and authoritative CEO.

Without a façade of authority, how could a young woman like herself command the respect of countless employees and subordinates?

She had never really lived for herself.

Despite her cheerful nature, always wearing a bright and mischievous smile, her life was far from happy.

"Evelyn, don't talk," Harrison's hand shook as he pressed against the bleeding wound.

With a weak flutter of her eyelids, Evelyn whispered, “Harrison, I mean it. You need to give Roxanne the perfect wedding.”

But he and Roxanne weren't planning a wedding.

Ever since the Nora Dawson scandal, Harrison had become even more cautious.

He wouldn't allow the international media or those coveting his 6G technology to exploit any weaknesses.

Even if he and Roxanne were to remarry, there would be no lavish ceremony.

Simplicity was key.

A wedding was just a formality.

For the rest of their lives, Harrison was determined to show his love for Roxanne through his actions, to ensure her happiness without the need for grand gestures.

He figured Roxanne, ever modest and thrifty, would want it that way too.

But now was not the time to worry about his and Roxanne's marriage.

As he firmly pressed on Evelyn's wound, his hands trembled but his voice was resolute with comfort, “Evelyn, I will take care of everything for Roxanne. And you’re going to be fine. I need to see you walk down the aisle, happy and in love with Dominic.”

Dominic!

In life, one must dare to love, to climb mountains, to chase dreams.

And Dominic was the man Evelyn wanted to love, the mountain she wanted to climb, the dream she chased.

As a child, she never rebelled against her parents, never indulged her youth.

As an adult, she couldn't be herself, forced to shoulder the family burden, forced into the role of a domineering CEO.

Thankfully, she could choose the man she loved.

She was determined to marry Dominic.

She hadn’t climbed that mountain yet.

She hadn’t realized that dream.

She couldn't die.

But she was so tired.

Breathing became labored, and panic set in her chest.

"Evelyn, don't sleep. Keep your eyes open. I’m telling you to keep your eyes open, do you hear?"

Harrison's eyes reddened with urgency as he bellowed, “Drive faster!”

At half past noon, Roxanne was at the office, sharing fast food with Chloe.

Chloe, looking at Roxanne sending a WhatsApp message to Harrison, remarked, “Who’d have thought? Harrison’s so clever, concocting such an elaborate lie just to win you back. A Capitalist will always be a capitalist, always playing his games.”

Roxanne passed Chloe a piece of rotisserie chicken, “Let’s not dwell on the past. Being alive is all that matters.”

Aside from life and death, nothing else in life should be considered a problem.
