The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 80

As for this good guy, Chloe had nothing but gratitude.

At the mouth of the alley.

Alexander hopped into his Rolls Royce, the same model as Harrison's.

His bodyguards lingered in the alley, still keeping watch over Oliver.

Chloe glanced at Oliver, then at the twenty uniformed bodyguards.

"Guys, you can go do your thing. There's no need to keep an eye on him. I reckon he's done trying

anything."

Oliver was beaten to a pulp and probably didn't have the energy to lay a hand on her anymore.

Even if he wanted to, he would have to wait until he's healed.

That would be a long time coming.

The lead bodyguard replied, "We have to carry out the boss's orders."

Were all rich people's bodyguards this loyal?

Chloe took another look at Oliver.

She didn't feel sorry for this man who once shared her bed at all. She thought he had it coming.

This kind of scum only dared to bully those weaker than him.

When faced with someone stronger, he became as meek as a lamb.

"Oliver, if you're not agreeing to a divorce, we'll take it to court. You better wait for the subpoena."

After picking up Aria and putting the kids to bed, Chloe called Roxanne.

Roxanne was applying a face mask.

Chloe asked, "Anne, are you asleep?"

"I'm doing a face mask. I'll read a bit, then hit the hay."

"What about Harrison?"

Roxanne laid down, putting the book she was about to read by her bedside, "I forgot to tell you,

Harrison's out of the country on a business trip. Won't be back till next week."

"Huh, a programmer has to travel overseas for work?"

"I don't really know the ins and outs of his job. I suppose he's just really good at what he does."

"Anne, something odd happened today. On my way to pick up Aria, Oliver cornered me in that alley

with no cameras. He wanted to hit me."

"Are you okay?" Roxanne sat up anxiously, "Why are you only telling me now?"

"I'm fine. I got saved by a big shot with twenty bodyguards, just like something out of a novel."

"What happened?"

Chloe filled Roxanne in on the details.

Roxanne agreed that it sounded like something out of a novel.

"Sounds like you got your damsel-in-distress moment."

"More like a beast in distress. I was all bruised and battered; I couldn't even recognize myself. I already

have a splotchy complexion. Plus, the guy's married. I wanted to add him on WhatsApp to thank him

over a meal, but he politely declined."

"Sounds like a gentleman."

"He is a real gentleman and reminds me of Harrison. That type of societal elite, businessman,

successful individual."

"Why bring up Harrison? He was just a small business owner before he went bankrupt, definitely not in

the same league as your knight in shining armor. Didn't you say that the key chain of your knight's car

was a double R? That's a Rolls Royce. No wonder he has twenty bodyguards."

"Anne, I somehow feel like Harrison isn't really bankrupt."

"How did you figure that out?"

"Harrison has this aura about him that's even more powerful than the guy I met today. He shouldn't be

bankrupt."

"Just because he's handsome, charismatic, and powerful doesn't mean he can't go bankrupt. The

economy's in a slump, the pandemic's wreaking havoc, business is tough, and many people are going

bankrupt. What's so strange about Harrison going bankrupt?"

"I suppose you're right."

"Chloe, are you saying that your knight in shining armor really left his twenty bodyguards there to keep

an eye on Oliver?"

"When I left, they were still watching Oliver. He looked like he was about to wet his pants."

"What a wimp."

While the two friends were chatting, Harrison, who had just arrived in London and was now at his

castle, was also chatting with Alexander.

Alexander said, "Harrison, you were right. Oliver tried to lay a hand on Roxanne's friend again, but I

stopped him. Gave him a good thrashing and had the bodyguards watch him."

Harrison asked, "Did Chloe suspect anything?"

Alexander replied, "What's there to suspect? She doesn't know I know you. I was just passing by and

helped out."

Harrison asked, "Did you add Chloe on WhatsApp?"

Alexander asked, "Why would I add her on WhatsApp? You know how easily Hazel gets jealous."

Harrison said, "If you don't add her on WhatsApp, how are you going to help me handle things

indirectly in the future?"

Alexander asked, "Why do you want me to help you indirectly? Why don't you just tell her who you

are?"

Harrison replied, "It's not the right time."

Alexander said, "Alright, I'll find a chance to add her on WhatsApp. Harrison, there's something else."

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Harrison cut him off, "I'm about to video call Roxanne."

Alexander tried to say more, "About last time..."

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Harrison hung up.

Alexander chuckled, "Guys with wives are really different. Can't spare a single second."

That's a good thing.

"Honey, what's got you smiling?" Fresh out of the shower and in a silk nightgown, Hazel emerged from

the bathroom.

Alexander put aside his phone, "Harrison's changed since he got a wife. I bet he'll start dating soon."

Hazel walked over, "Honey, have you been hanging out with Harrison too much? You're becoming all

distant."

"How could that be? I'm very romantic."

"But you haven't touched me in almost two weeks. Are you losing interest in me?"

Hazel sat on Alexander's lap.

Alexander looked at Hazel lovingly, a hint of guilt in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I've been too caught up with

work and neglected you. It's my fault. I'll take a day off tomorrow and make your favorite cheese beef

brisket, okay?"

With that, Alexander gently tapped Hazel's nose.

Hazel wrapped her arms around Alexander's neck, acting cute, "But I don't wanna eat cheese beef

brisket."

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll make for you."

"I want to kiss you." Hazel lowered her head, kissing Alexander's thin and sexy lips.

Alexander passionately reciprocated her kiss.

Just as they were getting intimate, Alexander's phone rang.

"Ignore it."

"It's Samuel calling this late; it must be something important."

"What's more important than me?"

"Just wait for me."

Alexander pulled himself together from the rush of desire and answered the call.

After hanging up, he looked at Hazel apologetically, "Hazel, I'm sorry."

"I don't wanna hear it." Hazel covered her ears.

"This is about the company's stock price, and Harrison is abroad. I have to deal with it immediately."

"If you leave tonight, don't bother coming back." Hazel was clearly upset.

Alexander understood her feelings, and they were always interrupted when they were enjoying

themselves. It made her feel disappointed.

"I'm sorry. I'll bring you a gift when I come back."

Alexander was a man with strong career aspirations. He quickly changed his clothes and left decisively.

As for Hazel, who was angry, he could only wait until he settled the company's affairs before coming

back to comfort her.

Meanwhile, in London, Harrison made several video calls to Roxanne, which remained unanswered.

At this moment, Roxanne was washing her face in the bathroom.

After applying a facial mask, her face was so soft that it felt like you could squeeze water out of it. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

At 28, her delicate features made her look as vibrant as a college student.

After applying her skincare products and returning to her room, she saw five unanswered video calls

from Harrison on her phone and promptly called him back.
