The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 188

Everyone was silent; it became an eerie quiet that was kind of unsettling.

Roxanne was clearly asking Alexander why he was here, but he seemed at a loss for words. Chloe

knew he was good pals with Harrison and that Harrison was the mythical top dog of Seraphim Haven. If

he didn't explain to Roxanne that he came because he found out she was kidnapped, he'd feel guilty.

Alexander wasn't a good liar to begin with, and trying to lie made him uncomfortable. So he tossed the

ball to Harrison as his gaze involuntarily landed on him.

Harrison didn't say a word either. That was when Chloe stepped in, taking on the task of changing the

subject. She sniffed the air around Roxanne, scrunching her nose to break the awkward silence.

"Anne, you really do stink a bit. Go take a shower, and we'll talk after."

Roxanne could smell herself too. But all the way here, she had been leaning on Harrison's shoulder to

sleep, and he never once complained.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower."

Roxanne took a few steps, but Harrison didn't follow. She turned back and asked, "Harrison, aren't you

coming? Didn't you say you wanted me to shave you?"

Harrison stayed put and glanced at her. "Go ahead; I'll be up in a bit. Mr. Alexander came because he

heard you were in trouble; I have a few words for him."

"Alright, I'll go shower first."

Then Roxanne thanked Alexander and went upstairs.

The rest didn't enter the villa. Chloe glanced at Harrison and then at Alexander. Both of them were

undoubtedly men with powerful presences and auras that were impossible to ignore. They were

natural-born leaders, a class apart from ordinary people.

Chloe looked at Harrison. "What should I call you now, Mr. Rodriguez? Or do I call you Mr. Harrison like

your bodyguards?"

"Call me as you used to." Harrison didn't want their relationship to become too formal now that Chloe

knew his true identity.

Chloe glanced at Dominic, who was standing beside Harrison. It was Dominic who found Roxanne.

Alexander told her that Dominic was a top-notch hacker who was now in charge of keeping the

Rodriguez Group's network safe. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Do you know about Harrison's identity too, Dominic?" She asked, to which Dominic simply nodded.

"I understand why you hid your true identity from Roxanne now. You were afraid of losing her, right?

Don't worry, I won't tell her. I don't want you two to fight over this." Chloe said to Harrison.

Harrison thought Chloe was a very understanding person; she was much better than Hazel Dawson.

"Thank you for considering my feelings." Harrison nodded.

"I'm actually more concerned for Roxanne." Chloe said.

"I know Roxanne; I know what she needs and doesn't need. If I suddenly imposed the role of a socialite

on her, she'd definitely resist."

It would be like giving her a sudden liver transplant. The new liver was never hers to begin with. So, of

course, there would be a rejection reaction. It'd be painful.

Four hours had passed since Chloe learned that Harrison was the top dog of Seraphim Haven. Chloe

was still struggling to digest the shocking news and couldn't figure out why Harrison married Roxanne

in the first place.

"I want to know, why did you marry Roxanne? Being the top dog of Seraphim Haven, you could've

married any woman. Why Roxanne? Do you have some hidden agenda with my Roxanne?" She

asked.

This was a complex question.

If asked why he was attracted to Roxanne, Harrison could talk all night.

Because there were so many things about Roxanne that moved him.

But he chose to answer simply.

"Honestly, I was forced by my father to marry Roxanne. The original plan was to divorce after a year.

But I really couldn't resist Roxanne's charm. There were so many surprising aspects about her that I fell

in love with her unknowingly. I have no other intentions towards her."

"Are you telling the truth?" Chloe pressed.

"You're a good friend who truly cares for Roxanne. I wouldn't dare lie to you."

Harrison answered calmly and honestly, not hiding anything from Chloe.

He added. "If I upset Roxanne in the future and she becomes mad at me, I'll need your help to mediate.

I hope you can put in a good word for me."

Before, Chloe would've thought this was normal coming from Harrison.

But now Harrison was the top dog of Seraphim Haven.

And he needed her assistance.

Chloe wasn't the type to get carried away with a few praises and forget her own status.

She knew her place.

Harrison's praise was entirely because of his high standards and his discretion.

This was Chloe's affirmation of him after learning that Harrison was the top dog of Seraphim Haven.

This man was worthy of being Roxanne's life partner.

A sense of relief swelled in Chloe's heart.

"Harrison, don't flatter me like that. How could I let a filthy rich guy like you ask me for help? If you and

Roxanne ever get into a fight in the future and it's your fault, I'll definitely stand by Roxanne. If it's

Roxanne's fault, I'll criticize her without any hesitation. I believe you truly love Roxanne.

I'm just wondering, when are you going to tell Roxanne that she's married to the richest guy in

Seraphim Haven?"

After hanging out for over half a year, Harrison had come to know Roxanne quite well.

If she decided to end a relationship, she would be very decisive.

She was very decisive, not just in relationships but in anything. She was not the type of woman who

dawdled.

That was exactly what Harrison was worried about.

He was afraid that deceiving Roxanne about his identity would piss her off, cross her line, and make

her leave him.

If there was no honesty in their marriage, she definitely wouldn't put up with it.

He told Chloe about his plan to get Roxanne pregnant first, and then tell her his real identity.

Chloe thought this plan was sound. "Good! Just stick to your plan. I won't stand in your way; don't

worry."

Alexander, standing by, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect Chloe to not only not blame him but also fully understand him.

Alexander's mind drifted back to his ex-wife, Hazel.

He thought of how all of Hazel's tenderness was faked. And now, when compared to Chloe's

understanding and acceptance, it seemed even more hypocritical.

Alexander felt a deeper sense of appreciation for Chloe as he looked at her gentle gaze.

By then, Roxanne had finished her shower.

She saw everyone still standing outside the villa.

"What's with these guys? Why are they standing outside for so long? What are they talking about?"

She stood at the window, shouting at the crowd. "What are you guys doing standing there? Aren't you

tired? If you want to chat, just come inside and sit down."

Upon hearing this, everyone slowly made their way into the villa.

Harrison and Alexander were walking closely together.

Harrison gently patted Alexander's shoulder, advising him in a low voice. "Alexander, Chloe is really a

great woman; you should really consider it."
