The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 327

Dominic gently caressed Evelyn's hair with his hand, whispering, "You should get some rest. The doctor said to keep the chatter down. Maybe take a nap, huh?"

Exhausted, Evelyn gave him a sleepy smile and a little wink to show she'd be good. Dominic withdrew his hand and turned to leave, casting a final glance back at her.

He was gone, but the spot on her head where he had touched her still felt warm. Her eyes sparkled with a brilliance that could rival the stars outside.

The night was beautiful - a soft moon and wispy clouds painted a tranquil, lovely scene.

But as the anesthesia wore off, the pain at the site of her surgery grew more intense, searing like a burn. Yet the memory of Dominic's gentle touch made even that pain seem more bearable.

On the other end of the night, Harrison and Roxanne made their way back to the Rodriguez Villa, their car winding its way up the private road that led to the hilltop manor. Vincent had chosen this central location for the estate not just because it was Rodriguez Group property, but also to fulfill his wife's love of high places - to watch the landscape, the sunrise, and sunset and to overlook the city.

While a remote location would have been cheaper, Vincent built it in the city center for convenience. Otherwise, the land could have been used for lucrative commercial purposes.

To win over Rita Foster, Vincent spared no expense in creating this grand villa.

In the princess room of the villa, Vincent had just tucked his little granddaughter Angela into bed. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he watched her sleep. She dreamt of sweet treats, smacking her lips and murmuring, "So yummy, oh so yummy. Grandpa, have a bite too!" she said in her dream, making Vincent smile with love and touch her head.

He was overjoyed that his son and daughter-in-law were finally together again but felt a pang of loneliness without Rita.

It seems like everything was complete.

But it wasn’t entirely complete.

He looked at the moonlight outside the window and muttered to himself, "Rita, you've been gone for so many years, why am I still not used to it? Back then you said you wanted to take care of our precious granddaughter with me. Our granddaughter is really adorable and cute."

Without Rita by his side, Vincent’s heart still felt empty.

He couldn't grow old together with Rita.

May his son and Roxanne have a smooth journey.

On the mountainside, Harrison signaled for silence when Anthony checked on why the car had stopped - Roxanne had fallen asleep on Harrison's shoulder.

"Are we halfway up the mountain? Why did the car stop?"

Harrison responded, "The car broke down, Anthony went to get another one."

"Even a Rolls-Royce can break down?" Roxanne chuckled, teasing him, "I thought your car was a Rolls-Royce, and those don't break down."

Harrison also chuckled, "A Rolls-Royce is still a car."

"Anyway, since it's broken, let's get out and walk back," she suggested.

"Are you sure?" Harrison raised an eyebrow, "The mountain road is long, can you walk?"

Roxanne had already opened the car door, before getting out, she turned and smiled at him, saying decisively, "If I really can't walk, you can carry me. After all, you're fit."

Both of them got out of the car together.

Walking from halfway up the mountain back to the mansion.
