The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 81

Harrison was lounging on the couch next to the window, with phone in hand.

When Roxanne's video call request popped up, he accepted it almost instantly.

"Why'd it take you so long to pick up?" Harrison frowned.

Looking at him through the screen, Roxanne smiled and said, "Sorry, I just finished washing my face. Your internet connection seems pretty solid; the video is crisp and smooth."

She had thought video calls abroad would be laggy.

"Harrison, can you pan your camera around a bit? I wanna see what kind of hotel the company set you up in."

Harrison frowned. Instead of wanting to see him first, she wanted to check out his hotel room. His eyebrows knitted together tighter.

"There's not much to see."

"I just wanna take a peek."

How was he supposed to show her?

He wasn't in a hotel but in his family's castle estate abroad.

The room was extravagantly and luxuriously decorated. How could he let Roxanne see this?

So, he ended the call, found a maid's bedroom, and called Roxanne back.

Even the maid's room spanned over forty square meters. It was the only room that Roxanne might believe was his.

He called her back.

Roxanne picked up. "What happened just now?"

Harrison lied, "Bad connection. Didn't you want to see my place?"

He showed her around.

"Wow, so luxurious," Roxanne couldn't help but exclaim. "Your company set you up in such a swanky, spacious hotel."

Luxurious? This was just the maid's quarters.

What kind of reaction would she have if he took her to the Rodriguez family's villa someday?

If she accepted, that would be great.

If not... Thinking about that made Harrison's head throb.

Keeping his face straight, he replied, "The company treats its employees well."

He turned the camera back to himself and looked at her through the screen. "Seen enough?"

"Enough. Harrison, how much is the hotel you're staying in per night?"

"Why are you asking?"

"I've never been abroad. Next time, we should take Dad with us."

"Why bring Dad?"

"So he can travel abroad too. He worked hard to send you to college, and he deserves a break. We should treat him well."

So this was why his father insisted on him marrying Roxanne?

She always kept in mind to respect the old and love the young.

No wonder his father liked Roxanne so much.

Harrison said, "If you tell him about the trip, he'll probably refuse."

Roxanne thought for a moment. "Is Dad worried about the expense? We can tell him the plane tickets are discounted."

Harrison replied, "No, he probably wants us to travel alone to develop our relationship. So, don't worry about bringing him. He won't get in our way."

Harrison added, "If you really want to travel abroad, I can take you next time."

Roxanne said, "If it's not with Dad, then I won't go. I can't selfishly enjoy myself without taking the elders with me."

On the video screen, Harrison's eyebrows knitted together tightly.

Feeling that there was nothing left to talk about, Roxanne gave him some precautions to take abroad and prepared to end the call.

"Just like that?" Harrison frowned again.
