The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 72

Roxanne cast a sidelong glance at Harrison.

"Harrison, why do you eat at home like you're at a French restaurant?"

Maybe she was used to Harrison always being so refined and polite, regardless of what he was eating, so she didn't notice if there was anything off about his straight posture.

She certainly didn't know about Harrison's inner turmoil.

Harrison tasted the food casually. "It's too hot. You must eat it slowly."

After everyone finished eating, the delivery guy from the restaurant tidied up the place a bit.

After resting for a while, Harrison and Roxanne left.

Chloe's house was not far from the place Roxanne was renting, just a leisurely ten-minute walk.

They decided to walk off their meal, so they strolled slowly back home.

Harrison kept thinking about the conversation between Roxanne and Chloe during dinner about the richest man in Seraphim Haven.

He seemed a bit distracted.

Roxanne chatted with him while walking, but he didn't respond.

"Harrison, what's on your mind?"

Roxanne stopped, looking at him.

He also stopped, turned around, and looked straight at Roxanne. "What would you do if I had something I didn’t tell you?"

He asked that without any hesitation.

Roxanne frowned.

Why did he suddenly ask that question?

She guessed, "Are you saying you're broke, owe a lot of debt outside, and want me to help you pay it off?"

"No, that's not it." Harrison answered.

"Not that?" Roxanne really couldn't guess. "What else could you be hiding from me?"

That's impossible.

Harrison didn't seem like the kind of person who would lie.

Roxanne was sure of it.

Because on the first day of their marriage, he told her that he was bankrupt, had nothing, nowhere to live, and needed her help.

If he could be that honest on the first day of their marriage, what bigger thing could he be hiding from her?

She didn't believe it, "How could you lie to me? You're so honest."

What exactly made her think that he was honest?

Harrison didn't know why Roxanne thought he was honest.

He furrowed his brows.

What would happen if his image as an honest man collapsed in front of Roxanne?

Would she be angry at him?

Neglect him?

Or divorce him?

Harrison didn’t dare to think further and asked again, "I mean, hypothetically, what would you do if you found out I lied to you?"

Thinking about that question, Roxanne answered seriously.

"For a marriage to last, in addition to mutual support and equal treatment, the most important thing is for both sides to be honest with each other."

"If one side lies, and it's just small issues,I wouldn't mind too much."

She continued, "But if it's a fundamental issue, then it could affect our marriage."

Harrison quickly asked, "What's a fundamental issue? Like what?"

"Why do you keep asking me this?" Roxanne countered. "Are you really hiding something from me?"

"No." Harrison seemed a bit guilty.

Roxanne continued to walk forward, "Good, such issues don't have specific examples; you only know when they actually happen. So, I can't give you an answer."

Harrison's brow furrowed even further.

“Alright, let's not talk about this anymore.” he seemed to have thought.

…

At Chloe's house.

When Oliver and Charlotte came back from dinner, Chloe was already preparing for bed after a shower.

Amelia, Aria, and Austin were all in bed already.

Ever since Amelia had come over, she took great care of the two kids. Austin didn’t even need to be fed at night or have Chloe by his side.
