The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 93

Chloe had made up her mind to divorce, and no amount of persuading could change that.

Later, Harrison and Roxanne had a chat about it while prepping dinner. In the past, Harrison had barely ever cooked at home. He wasn't really good at it, but he was willing to lend a hand to Roxanne. While chopping veggies, he asked, "Roxanne, is Chloe really going through with the divorce?"

Roxanne replied, "What else can she do? Stay with that jerk Oliver? If Chloe keeps up with him, she'll crack. That guy would just keep piling on the stress."

Harrison said, "Walking away is the right move. But the thing with Chloe, she may not be able to get her rightful house back. A house costs millions at least."

Roxanne said, "Their house, it's probably worth eight or nine million now."

But it seemed like there was no way out. The house was bought before the marriage. Chloe tried to get Oliver to admit on tape that she paid the down payment, but Oliver flat out denied it, and Chloe didn't have proof.

While chopping veggies, Roxanne said, "If Chloe keeps tangling with Oliver for a house, her life will be ruined. But Chloe didn't let Oliver get away with it, she rented the house to a butcher from the market. Heard Oliver tried to take back the house, but got chased away with a cleaver. He doesn't dare go back now. Even if Oliver wants to sell the house, he has to wait till the butcher is willing to move. But who would dare to view the house with a butcher living there?"

Chloe played her cards right. She wouldn't let Oliver get off easily. Even if she can't get the house, she won't let Oliver have it either.

While chopping veggies, Harrison pondered. Actually, he could help Roxanne's friend, make Oliver pay his dues. Just need to set a little trap, and Oliver would go broke.

But he couldn't come forward as himself, could he? He couldn't let Roxanne know who he really was.

Roxanne finished chopping the veggies and saw that Harrison had wasted half of them. She quickly stopped him, "Harrison, you're throwing away perfectly good veggies, what a waste."

She picked them up, gave them a wash, "This stuff costs money, you know."

Harrison could only chuckle helplessly. His wife was used to being frugal. He thought to himself, "Silly girl, you have no idea how rich your husband is, do you?"

But Harrison had gotten used to her frugality. His daily life became quite regular since they moved in together. He would only stay late at work if something important came up at the company, otherwise, he would be at the subway station on time waiting for her to pick him up. Then they would prepare dinner, eat, and clean up together.

Those days filled with socializing seemed rather boring to him now. Of course, if something important came up at the company, he would still consider his work first.

He watched her getting ready to cook. Today she planned to make a beef and rice skillet, a beef stew with potatoes, a salad, and a soup.

Harrison offered to help, "How about I do the cooking today?"
