The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 325

“Eve, you want to see Dominic again, right?

“Hold your horses, Roxanne said Dominic is already on his way.”

At that moment, Evelyn was truly pining for Dominic.

In her contact list, she had labeled Dominic as 'Till death do us part' - a testament to her wish to spend her life with him, sharing the same blanket in life and resting side by side in death.

But today, out of the blue, she felt the sharp betrayal of a knife in her back.

Blood was seeping out more and more.

Her consciousness was fading.

In a haze, she thought she saw a massive black hole, trying to suck her in.

The world around her was growing sharper, Harrison's voice telling her not to fall asleep, the sensation of being lifted from the car, the voices of doctors.

All her senses were amplified.

She knew everything but couldn't open her eyes.

That must be what knocking on death's door felt like.

Now awake, she was so grateful to be alive.

The first thing she wanted when she opened her eyes was to see Dominic.

She gave her mother a weak blink and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, you always tell me to let go of Dominic, but I just can't."

“Sweetie, I won’t push you into those blind dates anymore. Chase whoever your heart desires, as long as you’re happy," Gloria said, tenderly stroking her daughter's cheek.

Tears streamed down, choking with emotion.

Her daughter had been so unfortunate, having to take over such a massive company for her father, bearing such a heavy burden despite her free spirit and distaste for confinement.

From now on, Gloria wouldn't meddle in Evelyn’s love life.

Kyle, in his wheelchair, rolled closer to his daughter, "Eve, I will also stay out of your love life. If Dominic is willing to be with you, we give our blessing for you to marry him."

Evelyn smiled through her tears.

“Mom, Dad, you always envy Uncle Vincent for having a cute little granddaughter, Angela, right?"

“When Dominic and I get married, I’ll have a baby girl, too, no, an entire soccer team.”

Gloria and Kyle indeed envied Vincent for his adorable granddaughter. However, at their daughter's declaration to have a whole soccer team, Kyle gently tapped her nose with a teasing frown.

“Ladylike, remember? A little decorum, please?”

Evelyn pouted playfully, “Mom, I’m thirty, it’s normal to want kids.”

In their elite circles, thirty was still youthful.

Many didn’t marry or have children until their forties.

So Gloria and Kyle didn’t consider their daughter to be of an age to worry about.

Nearby, Roxanne and Harrison breathed a sigh of relief seeing Evelyn’s good spirits upon awakening.

Just then, Roxanne got a message from Dominic on WhatsApp and told everyone, “Dominic is here, looks like he's waiting outside.”

Evelyn looked pleadingly at her parents and asked, “Mom, Dad, can I have a moment alone with Dominic?”

Kyle frowned slightly, “Eve, you need to rest.”
