The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 89

Harrison was so ridiculously tall.

Roxanne had to stand on her tiptoes just to hug him. There was a sale going on in the store and she saved quite a buck. She was so thrilled that she didn't even think twice about hugging him.

However, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. All she wanted was to share her joy with Harrison.

But this time, Harrison definitely got to experience what they call a shock from head to toe. When Roxanne hugged him, it felt like his blood froze for a moment, and his whole body felt numb. He felt somewhat immobilized.

Seeing Harrison's stiff reaction, Roxanne thought he didn't like it. After all, last time when they had a bit of drink, he seemed rather reluctant when she gave him a peck.

Roxanne quickly pulled back, "I'm sorry, I was just so happy that I wanted to hug you."

"You're this happy just because you got a freebie?" Harrison lightly tapped her head, "You're so easily pleased."

Roxanne rubbed the spot where he tapped, "Harrison, it was a lot of money, not just a few bucks. Anyone would be thrilled."

"Alright, let's go home." Harrison said.

At this point, Roxanne had already stepped away from his embrace, and Harrison no longer felt that faint current coursing through his body. He realized that he could control his body again. He took Roxanne's hand, ready to head home.

He felt a bit of regret. Those few seconds when she hugged him, he savored the feeling as they walked, he didn't exactly dislike it.

But he knew his limits. He knew how to control himself.

Once they got home, Harrison called Vincent alone, "Dad, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Well, I'd definitely choose the bad news first." Vincent said.

"The bad news is that your 70th birthday party might have to be canceled." Harrison said.

"Why would you cancel my birthday party? I've already sent out the invitations. I've even invited many important people from the political and business circles. You didn't forget to arrange my birthday party, did you? I told you to do it a long time ago." Vincent said.

"What if I told you that your Roxanne found out about your birthday in a few days and she wants to celebrate it for you?" Harrison asked.

"What, Roxanne actually knows my birthday. Did she see my ID? I left it on the coffee table last time." Vincent said.

"Yes." Harrison admitted.

"I didn't expect Roxanne to be so attentive. It seems like this is indeed good news. Harrison, you don't need to arrange my birthday party anymore. Since my Roxanne wants to spend my birthday with me, I'll just be with you guys this year." Vincent made the decision without hesitation, "Harrison, just cancel the birthday party, I'll personally call the guests and tell them not to come."

"Wouldn't that offend people?" Harrison frowned.

Vincent said happily, "No worries, those guests are nowhere as important as my Roxanne."

Harrison said indifferently, "Your Roxanne indeed holds the most weight in your heart."

Vincent confidently said, "Of course."

Harrison continued, "Your Roxanne had a birthday present for you. But you might need to be prepared, because you might not like it."

Vincent immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? Even if Roxanne gave me a blade of grass, I would treasure it."

Soon, Vincent's birthday arrived. Harrison had told Roxanne that he was born and raised in Seraphim Haven, and his home was in a rural area just outside of this place.
