The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 224

"You're right, I'm really busy. I must go." The moment the call ended, Harrison's broad shoulders

seemed to collapse.

His face, once filled with pride and indifference, was replaced by heavy melancholy.

Busy? What was he busy with? He was busy with missing his wife, who didn't seem to give a damn

about him.

From a drawer, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and held it between his fingers.

He started smoking frequently after marrying Roxanne.

He used to smoke only occasionally, but then it became even more frequent.

By the time Alexander walked in, the cigarette in Harrison's hand was nearly burned to the stub.

From the way he smoked and his expression, Alexander was sure that man was missing his wife again.

If he wanted to see his wife, why not just go find her? Why keep up this cold war?

Alexander strode over and said, "Ah, another day of my friend here missing his wife."

Harrison stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray, "Cut the crap; if you have something to

say, say it. If not, get out."

Alexander leaned on his desk and said, "Harrison, this is not the time to divorce Roxanne."

Harrison's face darkened, "Which eye of yours saw me making a fuss about divorce?"

"Fine, we won't talk about your divorce. Let's talk business."

Alexander felt Harrison was too stubborn to reason with, so they started discussing business.

"We've found out about Dominic's car accident. It was caused by a foreign power. They're after the 6G-

Technology and are starting to make their moves. First was Dominic, who was guarding the 6G-

Technology. Next could be the chairman or Roxanne. You need to pay serious attention to the safety of

the chairman and Roxanne. That's why I said this isn't the time for you to be talking about divorce with

Roxanne."

That matter made Harrison's already gloomy face even more so.

The next day.

Chloe and Roxanne ran into each other at the company.

"Anne, Alexander told me Vincent has prepared a dinner party for you tonight to officially introduce you

to the Rodriguez family."

"Uh huh. Alexander told you?"

"He asked me to attend the dinner party with him. Anne, I'm so nervous. I've never been to this kind of

party. They're all very wealthy aristocrats. Will I embarrass myself?"

Roxanne could guess Alexander's reason for asking Chloe to attend the party.

That woman, Hazel, was six months pregnant. She was dragging her big belly around every day, but

she still had time to bother Alexander.

Since Chloe and Alexander were pretending to date, of course Chloe was going to accompany

Alexander to the dinner party tonight.

"There's nothing to be scared of; they won't eat you."

"We're the bottom of society; they're the upper class. I'm still a bit scared."

"I understand. Just take it as an opportunity to see the world. Vincent also told me he invited you, and

since Vincent is the host, those high-society people wouldn't dare to belittle his guests. Don't worry."

Harrison was stubborn, but Roxanne knew how the Rodriguez family treated people.

They didn't differentiate between people of different statuses, and they didn't belittle those who were Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

poor.

...

Alexander went to pick up Chloe in the afternoon.

A luxurious and domineering Rolls-Royce stopped in the alley of Urban Sun Village.

After Alexander picked up Chloe, he said to Roxanne, "Roxanne, Harrison is behind. He'll be here

soon. You ride with him."

That sentence made Roxanne's mind a mess.

She suddenly realized she hadn't seen Harrison in half a month and wondered how he was doing.

Less than half a minute after Alexander left with Chloe, Harrison's Rolls-Royce stopped at the alley

end.

The nearby shopkeepers, seeing two Rolls Royces stop outside Roxanne's trading company within

less than a minute, started chatting.

"What kind of background do these women running the trading company have?"

"Their backgrounds are really strong."

In the envy of others, Roxanne got into Harrison's car.

Having not seen each other for half a month, her first words to Harrison were, "Sorry for the trouble of

having to pick me up personally."

Harrison, sitting next to her, asked, "Are you talking to me?"

They were still married, and she was already being so formal and distant with him.

If they were to divorce, would she act like she didn't know him?

Harrison was pissed off. His mind was filled with anger throughout the journey, resulting in little

communication between them.

When they arrived at Rodriguez Oasis Estates, Harrison held Roxanne's hand in his as they got out of

the car. His intention was to hold her hand as they entered.

Today, the entire Rodriguez Oasis Estates was bustling with activity, with servants busy preparing for

the party and guests already gathered.

In such a festive atmosphere, the state of affairs between Harrison and Roxanne seemed out of place.

Roxanne's hand slightly retracted, but Harrison held on tighter.

After taking a few steps, he stopped, "If I don't let go, you won't be able to break free."

He meant for her not to struggle in vain.

What a domineering man!

Looking at her, Harrison's forehead creased, "My dad and others in our family don't know we're on the

brink of divorce."

"I know." Roxanne replied, her emotions complex.

Harrison said, "I don't want this matter to be publicized. We've been married for less than eight

months."

Roxanne asked, "How do you need me to cooperate?"

His big hand gripped Roxanne's even tighter.

"At least for now, you shouldn't try to break free" he signaled.

Saying that, he led her towards the guests.

The Rodriguez family had been itching to see what kind of woman Roxanne was. Who could actually

make the perennial bachelor, Harrison, suddenly entertain thoughts of marriage and fatherhood?

And that woman was from the most ordinary background at the bottom of society.

They came up one after another, all to take a look at Roxanne.

News of Roxanne and Harrison's wedding had long spread through the Rodriguez family.

They knew she was a good woman, who was not after Harrison's wealth and status. They even

believed that she would take Harrison in and share his troubles if he were to go bankrupt.

So those with sons were all envious that Vincent had found such a great daughter-in-law.

Those with daughters, knowing Roxanne's background, felt she was so pitiful and hoped she could

enjoy a good life after marrying into the Rodriguez family.

All in all, they did not look down on Roxanne.

Evelyn Miller and Nora Dawson whisked Roxanne away from Harrison's side.

They had prepared some food and drinks and were seated on the couch by the lotus pond.

Nora handed Roxanne a piece of cake and said, "Eat more. I noticed you were just greeting everyone

and didn't eat much."

Since formally meeting Nora, Roxanne felt she was easy to get along with, without any sense of a

nasty love rival.

Roxanne thought that Nora must have been a good girl, otherwise she wouldn't have sincerely wished

her and Harrison well.

As she was eating the cake, Nora asked again, "Roxanne, how's your recovery? When are you and

Harrison planning on having kids? Can I reserve the right to be your child's godmother?"

If the divorce went smoothly, she and Harrison wouldn't have any more children.

She slowed down her cake that she was eating and said, "We'll see."

At that point, Evelyn said, "Roxanne, if Harrison dares to bully you, let me know. I won't let him off."

Roxanne masked her inner bitterness and smiled brightly, "Don't worry, Harrison is a good guy; he

won't bully me."

"Roxanne, Harrison knows you like spicy garlic chicken, so he specially asked the chef to prepare it.

Eat more."

The three of them chatted happily.

The banquet didn't make Roxanne feel nervous.

The Rodriguez family was very genuine.

In the meantime, Nora took a phone call, and Evelyn went to get some food, leaving Roxanne alone.

Suddenly, a sexy, short-haired woman appeared in front of Roxanne.

That short-haired woman was very well-maintained, looking mature with a strong aura.

She suddenly appeared in front of Roxanne and mocked, "So you're the woman Harrison married? I

thought you were pretty and impressive. You're just a country girl who married Harrison. You still look

unsophisticated and totally not up to our class at all."
