The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 66

When Roxanne was mentioned, Harrison immediately asked, “What's up?”

Seeing his keen interest, Alexander couldn't help but chuckle.

“You just said you didn't want to hear anything unrelated to work, but the moment Roxanne is

mentioned, you're all ears. Harrison, you've been acting a bit strange lately.”

Harrison frowned, “Spill the beans.”

Alexander filled him in, and Harrison's face grew darker and darker.

Then, Alexander sighed, patted his shoulder, and said,

“Harrison, you need to handle this thing properly. After all, it involves the lifetime happiness of three

people. If you mess it up, it's not good for anyone.”

After Alexander left, Harrison took a sip of his coffee.

Then he put down his coffee cup and promptly dialed Vincent.

Since moving out of Roxanne's rented house, Vincent returned to the farm and resumed his life of

farming and raising cattle and chickens.

The last time Roxanne praised his steak, he imported a few Angus cattle from abroad.

At this moment, he was feeding whiskey to the Angus cattle.

Because Angus cattle often drank whiskey during their growth period, their meat was particularly

delicious.

Harrison asked, “Dad, what are you up to?”

“I'm feeding the cattle. Just finished feeding a bottle of whiskey to the calf.”

“Why don't you go golfing with Mr. Alexander instead of feeding cattle and chickens every day?”

“If I don't feed the cattle and chickens, what am I going to feed Roxanne when she's pregnant? Do I

have to buy her hormone-fed cows and chickens, and let her and the baby be harmed by the

hormones?”

“It's too early to talk about pregnancy and childbirth.”

“I have to take care of these animals first. Are we going to wait until she's pregnant to raise these

animals?”

Vincent realized that Harrison didn't mind him bringing up the subject of Roxanne's pregnancy.

It seemed that having Roxanne pregnant was part of his plan.

Maybe just a later part of the plan?

Vincent suddenly fell into a great mood. “Harrison, why did you call?”

“Dad, could you have someone bring my marriage registration license to my office?”

“Why do you suddenly need your marriage registration license?”

“I need it for something.”

“Let me guess, is it because Nora is back, so you need the marriage registration license?”

“You don't need to know, just have someone bring it to me.”

“Alright, alright. I'll stop keeping it for you. Since it's your marriage license, you should keep it yourself.”

At 4:30 in the afternoon.

Harrison received a WhatsApp message from Nora. [Harrison, are you free? I just got back from

abroad and wanted to see you. If you're busy, never mind.]

In the past, Harrison would decisively say. [I'm busy.]

Understanding Nora would reply with an [Okay,] and then not bother him anymore.

But this time, Harrison decisively replied, Come to my office. I'll have my secretary lead you directly to

my office.

Nora was secretly delighted.

Harrison, who never responded to her invitations, actually agreed to her visiting his office today.

What did this mean?

Had her years of pursuit finally been reciprocated?

Nora was the sister of Alexander's wife, Hazel. She was gentle and quiet.

About half an hour later, Nora was led to Harrison's office by his secretary.

However, Harrison was not there.

Nora waited alone in the office.

She looked around Harrison's workspace, observing the office's layout, trying to discover more about

Harrison's preferences through these details.

“Looking at something? Quite curious, aren't you.”

Harrison returned to the office, walked straight to the desk, and pulled out a folder from the drawer.

Nora was so thrilled, she didn't even notice that the thing in his hand was his marriage registration

certificate.

She took out a finely packaged men's watch from her bag. “Harrison, this is a watch I won at an

auction. It's the only one in the world. This is for...”

She didn't finish her sentence as Harrison cut her off.

“Nora, I'm married.”

Nora thought she heard wrong. She was stunned, looking at him.

He repeated, “Yes, I'm married. Here is my marriage registration certificate.”

“How is that possible?” Nora tried to hide her pain, she gave a bitter smile.

Harrison didn't say anything.

He planned to let Nora digest the news herself.

He couldn't comfort her.

Love that could not be reciprocated, could not be given any hope.

Harrison was thirty-two, lived in a wealthy family, and had been affluent since childhood. He was very

outstanding with his intelligence and talent.

Over the years, there had been many people pursuing him.

But he was cold-hearted, and some people gave up after pursuing him for a while, realizing there was

no result.

Only Nora, who grew up with Harrison, never gave up on him.

Nora dared not to pursue too much.

She was very gentle and quiet. If Harrison didn’t want to see her, she absolutely wouldn’t bother him.

After a while, Nora came to her senses.

“Why does nobody know about your marriage? It’s such an important matter.”

“I didn't let anyone know. Even I find it sudden.”

Tears suddenly appeared in Nora's eyes, b

ut she held them back.

She politely asked, “May I see your marriage registration license?”

Harrison nodded.

Nora said thank you, then shakily took the folder from his hands.

There were seals and numbers on the registration certificate, and there were also wedding photos of Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

the two in the folder.

And the easily recognizable, beautiful, and stunning woman in the wedding photo.

At that moment, Nora really wanted to compliment him and say, “Your wife is really beautiful.”

But her throat tightened, her voice hoarse, and she couldn't catch her breath. She couldn't say a word.

She stared at Roxanne in the photo for a long time.

She really was dazzling and beautiful!

She was one lucky gal, bagging a catch like Harrison, a guy who was not only a stud but also a real

stand-up dude.

After a while, Nora finally managed to close the marriage license folder with shaking hands, returning it

to the table in anguish.

It felt like she was letting go of her two decades of love and admiration for him.

She lifted her head, smiling as she said, "Harrison, congratulations. Here's to a lifetime of happiness for

you and your wife!"

Harrison replied, "I know, thank you."

"Harrison, you can rest easy. I'll keep myself in check, I won't bother you anymore."

"Truth be told, I never felt like you were a bother, but I just think we're not a good match."

Fate was a funny thing.

No one was ever truly yours. Even when meeting someone for the first time, if they didn’t share the

same feelings, it was just a case of being close, but no success.

It just sat there, at a specific time, in a specific place, waiting.

When the moment came, everything fell into place.

Harrison believed that there was such a fate between him and Roxanne.

Hearing him say these things, Nora laughed.

But as she laughed, tears started to roll down her cheeks.

She wiped away her tears, forcing a smile. "I should get going."

As she turned and left, Nora had no idea how she managed to walk away.

She must have looked like a complete mess, huh?

After leaving, she bumped into Alexander who was on his way to find Harrison.

"Nora?"

"Alexander!"

Seeing her tear-streaked face, he had a pretty good idea what had happened. "Did Harrison tell you

he's getting hitched?"

Nora gave a small laugh. "It's okay, that's life."

What's yours will always be yours.

What's not yours, no matter how hard you try, you may never get it.

Nora was a sensible girl, she wouldn't bother Harrison anymore.

"Don't you blame Harrison? He's been pretty cold to you over the years."

"Why should I blame him? I liked him, I pursued him, all of my own free will. I live by the principle of

voluntariness, and I don't blame anyone."
