The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

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?"

"Sure." Roxanne handed him the spatula.

When he took the spatula, he accidentally brushed against her hand. The touch made his heart race.

He felt like he had suddenly become a teenager again. A thirty-two-year-old man feeling like a

teenager, wasn't that a bit childish?

Roxanne thought, since he was cooking, she would go mop the floor. While mopping, the air

conditioner broke. By dinner time, they could only eat while fanning themselves.

It was too hot. Roxanne was sweating from the heat. The August heat in Seraphim Haven was

unbearable, even the wind was hot. It didn't take long for Roxanne's clothes to be soaked in sweat.

Despite being sweaty, she looked even more beautiful to Harrison. Sweat droplets slid down her rosy

cheeks and slim neck, gliding over her beautiful collarbones, and then there was a hint of cleavage. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

This made him even uncomfortable.

Men, they couldn't hold back their physical needs for too long. He used to be quite disciplined when he

was focused on his career. But ever since he moved in with Roxanne, his discipline seemed to diminish

day by day.

Taking deep breaths in and out, he finally felt a bit better. He tasted his own beef stew and frowned. He

looked at Roxanne enjoying her food and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think it tastes bad?"

This was his first time cooking. He had no experience, so his beef stew was neither tasty nor savoury.

Roxanne said while eating, "Not at all, it's just a bit bland, but it's still good."

Roxanne picked up a piece of beef, "Harrison, I feel like the beef your dad brought us the other day

tastes different from regular beef, it's especially fragrant."

Could it be the same as regular beef? That was Angus beef bought by his father for several hundred

thousand.

"If you like it, I can ask dad to get you a few more pounds." Harrison said.

"No need, we've been eating beef every day lately." Roxanne said. She didn't know, the beef she was

eating was that expensive.

After dinner, while cleaning up, Roxanne received a call. It was the real estate company telling her to

come check her house up next week.

After the call, she was very excited. So happy, she couldn't help but jump up and wrap her arms around

Harrison's neck. She said, "Harrison, you're like my lucky star, not only did the developer tell me to

come check the house, but they also told me I won the grand prize, a free home renovation, and

furniture. The house is already renovated and the furniture is settled. All I need to do is bring my

luggage."

How on earth did something this good happen to her? She couldn't quite believe it at first. It was only

after the other party explained over and over again that it was real, did she slowly start to believe that

such a fantastic thing really did happen to her.

Harrison thought to himself, “The house is finally renovated. I can move out of this crappy rental.”

Roxanne hugged Harrison tight, so excited she was practically jumping. She rubbed against him a few

times. Harrison frowned, looking at her, and said seriously, "Roxanne, you hugging me like this, we

might run into some issues."
