The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 67

The more mature Nora acted, the more it tugged at Alexander's heartstrings and filled him with worry.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to call your sister to come pick you up and keep you company?"

Nora replied with a smile, "No need; I'm fine. Don't treat me like a kid. I'm all grown up now. I won't lose my mind over some setbacks or minor issues. Don't worry."

"Are these really just minor issues?"

"Or should I force him to marry me?"

"Sigh," Alexander sighed, "Even though I really hoped Harrison would like you, you can't force these things when it comes to feelings."

"I get it. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm off to have a seafood buffet; maybe stuffing my face will cheer me up."

"I'll have your sister come to keep you company."

"No need; I want to be alone for now."

Nora had already waved goodbye and walked away.

As Alexander watched her figure disappear into the elevator, he went to find Harrison.

Alexander confronted, "I saw Nora. Harrison, you were too harsh. Did you really have to be that direct?"

Harrison responded, "Do you want me to accept her and then betray my own marriage?"

"Is it that you don't want to betray your marriage, or you don't want to betray Roxanne?"

"It's the same thing. As long as I'm still in my marriage, I won't do anything that's not faithful."

"You're just loyal to Roxanne and using marriage as an excuse. Don't you feel guilty towards Nora? She's liked you for so many years."

"Why should I feel guilty?"

"You should have just stayed single."

"I'm already married now; I'm not single anymore."

"Oh whatever, you're married now, so you can more reasonably reject anyone who pursues you or any family that wants to form an alliance with you through marriage. Speaking of which, aren't you going to Celestoria next week? The royal family of Celestoria has brought up marriage alliances multiple times; how are you planning to reject them? That's the royal family in Celestoria; you can't afford to offend them."

"If I really wanted to form an alliance with them, I would have accepted the proposal a long time ago."

"So, when you go to Celestoria next week, if the royal family brings up the marriage proposal again, how do you plan on handling it?"

"I'm planning to discuss it with you; you go and announce my marriage on the internet. It needs to be posted on both domestic and international news sites."

"Don't you think that's a bit much? Trending topics cost money; you want this to trend both domestically and internationally?"

"Get it done within three days."

"I can't stand you, always making me do everything for you."

...

After leaving the building, Nora had her chauffeur drive away.

She wanted to be alone, to drive aimlessly around the city and clear her mind.

She needed some time alone to think.

Harrison was married.

She seemed unable to accept that fact.

But it was a fact.

What could she do? She had no choice but to accept it.

But she was really in pain.

Her car roamed aimlessly around the city streets, letting her tears flow freely. Because it was only when she was alone that she dared to cry like that.

If her family saw her, they would definitely worry about her. She didn't want anyone to worry about her.

As she drove, it started to get dark. She didn't even know where she was.

And she didn't even realize she had driven into a completely unfamiliar alley.

It looked like the Urban Sun Village in Seraphim Haven.

It was crowded, dirty, chaotic, and the environment was terrible.

There were also many small vendors on the side of the road, setting up their stalls.

Nora wanted to drive away from here. After all, she had grown up in a wealthy family and had never been to such a narrow alley in the Urban Sun Village.

Suddenly, an electric scooter came rushing out of an intersection alley.
