The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 97

Roxanne turned to Harrison. "Harrison, you should explain to my good friend here that it was your idea

for us to sleep in separate beds after we got married. Otherwise, she'll think I'm not treating you well."

Harrison replied casually, "Yeah, that was my call."

After a while, Harrison took a phone call and then excused himself.

Chloe pulled Roxanne aside and asked, "Anne, if it really was Harrison's idea, doesn't it seem odd that

he doesn't get tempted seeing you looking so gorgeous every day?"

"You're overthinking it," Roxanne said honestly. "Harrison is attracted to me. He's just more old-

fashioned."

"Just how old-fashioned does he have to be to resist you for two whole months?"

"That just shows how principled and respectful Harrison is, he's not some playboy."

"Is he...gay or something?"

"What on earth are you thinking?" Roxanne playfully pinched Chloe, defending her man.

Chloe giggled, "Already jumping to his defense, aren’t you?"

"Of course," Roxanne laughed too, "He's my man."

Harrison returned from his call, seeing them both laughing heartily, and he asked, "What are you two

chatting about? You seem so cheerful."

Roxanne said, "Well, just discussing our moving plans and inviting Chloe over to help. Moving to a new

place should be a lively affair."

She continued, "Harrison, Chloe is my only close friend in Seraphim Haven. I don't want to mix work

and personal life. You can invite some friends and family too."

Harrison replied, "I don't really have friends in Seraphim Haven."

His friends were successful and influential figures, not just in Seraphim Haven but nationally. He didn't

like media attention and preferred to keep his personal life private. His friends were all public figures,

either successful entrepreneurs or rich heirs. With the widespread reach of the internet, Roxanne and

Chloe would definitely recognize them if they came over, thus his true identity would be exposed.

Roxanne said, "What about the person who lent you the 100k you asked me for? Isn't he your friend?

You guys must be close."

Seeing no way out of this, Harrison had to agree, "Alright, I'll invite him over."

Roxanne took a tour around the new house. She was initially looking for what additional household

items they needed to buy. To her surprise, the place was fully stocked, even with toiletries included.

She didn't need to buy anything else, just move in..

She was just curious about why there could be such a good developer.

When they got home, Roxanne and Harrison decided to move the following Saturday. She reminded

him, "Harrison, make sure you invite your friends. We need a crowd to make it lively. A housewarming

party should be fun."

Harrison agreed.

On Monday, he went to the Rodriguez Group building. He sent a message in their group chat, "Meeting

in the conference room in 10 minutes."

The group consisted of major shareholders of the Rodriguez Group, most of whom were his close

allies, childhood friends, and old classmates.

Everyone arrived on time, assuming Harrison was calling an important meeting. However, Harrison

started discussing non-work related stuff. "I'm moving this Saturday. A few of you should come and

celebrate with me."

Samuel asked, "Harrison, you're moving? Upgrading to a villa?"

Alexander chimed in, "Not exactly a villa. It's his wife's new place. I helped out with the renovations. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Harrison, count me in."

Harrison looked at Alexander, "You can't come."

Alexander queried, "Why not? I helped you out and I don't get to enjoy the party?"

Harrison clarified, "I'm not ready to tell Roxanne about my real identity yet. If you come, won't it give me

away?"

Samuel suggested, "Then I'll go, Roxanne doesn't know me, and I haven't appeared in the media

either. Harrison, I won't reveal your identity."

Samuel was eager to meet the woman who managed to marry Harrison.

Alexander was a bit upset, "I miss out on such a good opportunity. Harrison, when will you formally

introduce me to your wife?"

Harrison responded, "It's not the right time yet."

Alexander added, "And I wanted to ask Roxanne about her friend Chloe's divorce proceedings. But it's

not appropriate for me to contact Chloe directly."

Harrison asked, "Are you interested in Chloe?"

Alexander replied, "What are you talking about? I'm married. I just don't like seeing men abuse women.

I hope Chloe can get out of her situation. I have a sister, so I understand the impact of domestic

violence."

Alexander suddenly thought of Samuel, who was still single. He looked at him and suggested,

"Samuel, you're single. How about waiting for Chloe's divorce to finalize, and then after Harrison

reveals his true identity to Roxanne, she can introduce Chloe to you?"

Samuel retorted, "Are you kidding? Why would I marry a divorcee?"

Alexander criticized, "Samuel, that's not right. What's wrong with a woman who's been divorced? When

a woman gets married, she expects to spend her life with her husband. Unless she's not committed to

the relationship in the beginning. Who would willingly get a divorce without being pushed to the limit?"

Alexander's sister had been through the whole divorce thing. He knew all too well how tough it can be

for a woman who'd been through a divorce. So, he never looked down on divorced women.

He went off on a long rant, schooling Samuel about the hardships of divorced women and why they

deserved to be cherished. Samuel got a headache listening to it all, "Alright, alright, you're into divorced

women. And you would like to leave your wife Hazel, and then go find a divorced woman, is that what

you're saying?"

Alexander: "How on earth could I make my wife Hazel a divorced woman? I plan to spend the rest of

my life with her."
