The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 66

When Roxanne was mentioned, Harrison immediately asked, “What's up?”

Seeing his keen interest, Alexander couldn't help but chuckle.

“You just said you didn't want to hear anything unrelated to work, but the moment Roxanne is mentioned, you're all ears. Harrison, you've been acting a bit strange lately.”

Harrison frowned, “Spill the beans.”

Alexander filled him in, and Harrison's face grew darker and darker.

Then, Alexander sighed, patted his shoulder, and said,

“Harrison, you need to handle this thing properly. After all, it involves the lifetime happiness of three people. If you mess it up, it's not good for anyone.”

After Alexander left, Harrison took a sip of his coffee.

Then he put down his coffee cup and promptly dialed Vincent.

Since moving out of Roxanne's rented house, Vincent returned to the farm and resumed his life of farming and raising cattle and chickens.

The last time Roxanne praised his steak, he imported a few Angus cattle from abroad.

At this moment, he was feeding whiskey to the Angus cattle.

Because Angus cattle often drank whiskey during their growth period, their meat was particularly delicious.

Harrison asked, “Dad, what are you up to?”

“I'm feeding the cattle. Just finished feeding a bottle of whiskey to the calf.”

“Why don't you go golfing with Mr. Alexander instead of feeding cattle and chickens every day?”

“If I don't feed the cattle and chickens, what am I going to feed Roxanne when she's pregnant? Do I have to buy her hormone-fed cows and chickens, and let her and the baby be harmed by the hormones?”

“It's too early to talk about pregnancy and childbirth.”

“I have to take care of these animals first. Are we going to wait until she's pregnant to raise these animals?”

Vincent realized that Harrison didn't mind him bringing up the subject of Roxanne's pregnancy.

It seemed that having Roxanne pregnant was part of his plan.

Maybe just a later part of the plan?

Vincent suddenly fell into a great mood. “Harrison, why did you call?”

“Dad, could you have someone bring my marriage registration license to my office?”

“Why do you suddenly need your marriage registration license?”

“I need it for something.”

“Let me guess, is it because Nora is back, so you need the marriage registration license?”

“You don't need to know, just have someone bring it to me.”

“Alright, alright. I'll stop keeping it for you. Since it's your marriage license, you should keep it yourself.”

At 4:30 in the afternoon.

Harrison received a WhatsApp message from Nora. [Harrison, are you free? I just got back from abroad and wanted to see you. If you're busy, never mind.]

In the past, Harrison would decisively say. [I'm busy.]

Understanding Nora would reply with an [Okay,] and then not bother him anymore.

But this time, Harrison decisively replied, Come to my office. I'll have my secretary lead you directly to my office.

Nora was secretly delighted.

Harrison, who never responded to her invitations, actually agreed to her visiting his office today.

What did this mean?

Had her years of pursuit finally been reciprocated?

Nora was the sister of Alexander's wife, Hazel. She was gentle and quiet.

About half an hour later, Nora was led to Harrison's office by his secretary.

However, Harrison was not there.

Nora waited alone in the office.

She looked around Harrison's workspace, observing the office's layout, trying to discover more about Harrison's preferences through these details.

“Looking at something? Quite curious, aren't you.”

Harrison returned to the office, walked straight to the desk, and pulled out a folder from the drawer.

Nora was so thrilled, she didn't even notice that the thing in his hand was his marriage registration certificate.

She took out a finely packaged men's watch from her bag. “Harrison, this is a watch I won at an auction. It's the only one in the world. This is for...”

She didn't finish her sentence as Harrison cut her off.

“Nora, I'm married.”

Nora thought she heard wrong. She was stunned, looking at him.

He repeated, “Yes, I'm married. Here is my marriage registration certificate.”
