The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 62

Alexander dropped a text. [Hey, Harrison, did that jerk Nathaniel take the old man away? Shall I spill

the beans that you're the big boss?]

If Nathaniel learned the truth, he would definitely freak out.

But Harrison wanted to keep it under wraps for now.

Once Nathaniel found out about his identity, Roxanne would be in the know too.

He planned to find the right time and break the news to Roxanne himself.

He texted Alexander back. [Let it be for now.]

He had his own ways of dealing with such people. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

He sent another text to Alexander. [Give Nathaniel a heads up, tell him to watch his back and better

keep quiet.]

A few minutes later, Alexander called Nathaniel.

Alexander was the right-hand man of the CEO and a childhood friend. He was also the second largest

shareholder of the company.

When he received the call, Nathaniel was scared stiff.

He had already brought Sebastian back as instructed, was the boss still not satisfied?

So, he was very cautious when he picked up the call.

Alexander said, "Nathaniel, do you know? You've pissed off our CEO's wife."

The CEO's wife?

When did he offend the CEO's wife?

He hadn't even met the CEO's wife, how could he possibly offend her?

Nathaniel was puzzled. "Mr. Alexander, I haven't met the CEO's wife. How could I dare to offend her?"

Alexander, "I'm just giving you a heads up. Be careful with your actions, don't go overboard, or you'll

face the consequences."

Such a warning left Nathaniel more confused.

He had been working hard in the company and was very diligent.

How could he have gone overboard?

Before he could ask anything else, Alexander had hung up the phone.

Nathaniel was terrified.

How on earth had he offended the CEO's wife?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

After Nathaniel left with Sebastian, Roxanne immediately asked, "Harrison, you haven't told me yet,

how did you make Nathaniel take Sebastian away?"

Harrison calmly fibbed again.

"Nothing much. I just asked Mr. Johnson to tell Nathaniel the maximum sentence for child

abandonment."

"Oh, Mr. Johnson is indeed impressive."

Roxanne didn't overthink it.

They walked back to the rented apartment.

Roxanne's electric scooter ran out of battery again so,

they walked while pushing the scooter.

More accurately, Harrison was pushing the scooter.

Real men should do some heavy lifting.

While pushing the scooter, Harrison said, "Why does this piece of junk scooter always run out of

battery? Didn't it just get charged last night?"

Roxanne complained behind him, "Don't call it junk, it's what gets you to the subway station every

morning. It's just that the battery is not very good."

Harrison said, "How about I get you a new car?"

Roxanne retorted, "You got money?"

Oh, right.

He was still "bankrupt".

He couldn’t just casually get her a scooter.

"I mean, I can get you a brand-new electric scooter."

"Why waste money? A new scooter costs at least a few hundred bucks, and changing the battery only

costs a few dozen. It would still work like new."

To him, a few hundred bucks was just pocket change.

No, it couldn't even be considered pocket change.

Apparently, hiding his identity had its drawbacks.

He wanted to give her some gifts, but he couldn't easily give them out.

"Then I'll buy you a new set of batteries."

Harrison said while continuing to push the scooter.

Coincidentally, there was a slope of about 30 degrees, which required some strength to push up.

Roxanne helped push from the back, b

ut it seemed like Harrison didn't need her help, as he was very powerful.

He pushed up the slope with ease.

He was indeed strong.

Roxanne recalled when they had just got married, he did a few sets of very strenuous exercises on the

ground.

That was also easy for him.

He often got up early to work out after that, and s

he often caught a glimpse of the muscles under his T-shirt.

This man was not only good-looking, had a great body, distinct muscle lines, and physically strong, but

was also very considerate and caring.

Most importantly, he had great self-control in bed.

Such a rare, good man.

How did such a good man end up with her?

She was so lucky.

When the scooter was pushed to flat ground, Harrison turned to look at her.

He saw her looking at him, her eyes full of laughter.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"I just feel lucky that I didn't end up with a jerk like Oliver."

"Are you complimenting me?"

"Seems like it, for now. But who knows what you'll turn into. Men always put on a show when they're in

the early stages of a relationship."

So, even though

Harrison was great in many ways, s

he just couldn’t easily trust him.

"Do you think every man is like Oliver, irresponsible, lacks integrity, selfish and cunning?

Chloe and Oliver weren't like this when they first started dating. It was only after getting married that he

slowly revealed his true colors."

Harrison answered her, "You can't compare me to Oliver."

"Harrison, are you angry?"

"A bit."

"I'm not comparing you with Oliver, I'm just saying."

Harrison seemed to want to make a point, so he said coldly, "Anyway, time will tell."

Roxanne chuckled inwardly.

This guy was taking it seriously, wasn't he?

"Okay, okay, time will tell. I believe you won't turn out to be as bad as Oliver."

Men, they still needed some sweet talk, just

so that Harrison wouldn't stay upset. He acted as if she had wronged him.

When they arrived at a scooter store, Roxanne asked the owner about a set of batteries, and

Harrison paid for it.

The two of them rode the scooter back to the rented apartment just before nightfall.

Today, Vincent was not home.

So, there was no one at home to make dinner.

Roxanne suggested hitting up a street food stall.

Since being with Roxanne, Harrison had gradually adapted to this grassroots lifestyle, no longer always

hanging out in high-end places.

Turned out, that eating at these street stalls wasn't that risky.

Harrison started to care less about these things.

Instead, he was thankful to Roxanne for teaching him how to adapt to a tough living environment.

If he were to go bankrupt one day, he wouldn't be unable to adjust to a simple life.

So, when the street food like grilled pork, tacos, empanadas, and corn juice came, he found that he

could handle it.

But when Roxanne handed him grilled oysters, he still turned them down.

"Why won't you eat the grilled oysters? They're really fresh, tender, and tasty here."

For men, eating oysters could be beneficial in certain ways.

He was afraid that if he ate them, he'd lose control and start fantasizing about her.

Even though their living arrangements now were that she slept in the bed and he on the living room

couch, she would still walk around in her pajamas in front of him.

After showering, Roxanne was actually quite modest in her attire.

Her pajamas had buttons, all of which were buttoned up. She didn't show off her legs or collarbones,

her body fully covered.

But it was this conservative dressing that made him even more attracted to her.

If he ate too many oysters, he was really afraid that he might lose control...
