The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 77

Sitting in the back seat, Harrison, stiff as a board, said coldly, "Drive."

"I'm not your chauffeur, you know." As Alexander started the engine and hit the gas, he retorted, "I got up at the crack of dawn to drive you, and not only do you not thank me, but you're also giving me the cold shoulder. If I'd known, I would've had Anthony drive you instead."

Harrison didn't respond.

He glanced in the rear view mirror, hoping to catch one last glimpse of Roxanne.

But Roxanne's slender figure had already disappeared.

In the quiet alleyway at five in the morning, there was no one in sight, and many shop doors were tightly shut.

Harrison couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Alexander subtly observed his expression through the rear view mirror, then glanced back at the mirror and chuckled, "What's the matter, feeling bummed because Roxanne left in a hurry and didn't wave goodbye as your car pulled away?"

"You're reading too much into it." Harrison shifted his gaze away from the mirror.

"What's with the furrowed brows, then?" Alexander teased.

Harrison remained silent.

Alexander laughed, "That's just like you, clamming up when called out on your feelings."

He continued, "Harrison, you insisted that I drive you to the airport because you said you had something important to tell me. What is it?"

"While I'm away, keep an eye on Oliver for me."

"Which Oliver?"

"Chloe's husband and her business partner at the company."

"Why do I need to keep an eye on him?"

"Because he's the reason Roxanne and I got married in a hurry."

"Because of him?"

"He's been harassing Roxanne because he thinks she's pretty."

"So, you're saying Roxanne married you to escape this guy?"

Indeed.

Being constantly harassed by her best friend's husband was a real headache for Roxanne.

But Alexander was confused and asked, "But that doesn't mean Roxanne had to rush into marrying someone to prove her innocence."

"I don't understand her thinking either." Harrison replied.

Alexander laughed, "Actually, Harrison, this is a blessing in disguise. If Oliver hadn't harassed Roxanne, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry her."

Harrison asked, "So you're saying I should be grateful to that despicable man?"

"Don't waste your time on him. I'll have someone keep a close eye on him."

"I want you to do it personally."

"Why me? You know I'll be even busier when you're away on your business trip."

Harrison then told Alexander about Oliver's domestic violence towards Chloe.

Upon hearing that, Alexander was furious, "Isn't a husband supposed to cherish his wife? How could that bastard hit a woman?"

Alexander was well-known as a loving husband.

He believed that not only should a man cherish and respect his wife, but he should also pamper her, even when she's being unreasonable.

Because a wife was the one who risked her life and endured pain to bear their children. She deserved unconditional love.

And yet, Oliver, that low life, not only failed to appreciate Chloe for giving birth to their two children but also abused her?

If Alexander ever met such a man, he'd definitely teach him a lesson.

Such behavior was a disgrace to all men.

Harrison continued, "Chloe and Oliver are in the midst of a divorce. Oliver blames Roxanne for stirring things up. He'll be released from detention in a few days. Keep an eye on him."

Just in case anything unexpected happened.

After all, Oliver had been violent before, even causing Chloe's eyes to swell.

If he held a grudge and decided to take revenge not only on Chloe but also on Roxanne, what then?

Harrison wouldn't be able to rest easy in London.
