Roxanne completely ignored Harrison's advice to drive carefully and not act recklessly.
She was weaving through traffic like a snake.
One car after another was overtaken by her.
Harrison was eager to see Roxanne soon.
He had Anthony speed up to get back to the Investor Complex, where he stood in the most conspicuous place in the parking lot, waiting for Roxanne to pick him up.
It was already seven in the evening.
In Seraphim Haven, night fell early.
By seven o'clock, the sky was pitch black.
However, the parking lot lights were bright, most of the staff at Investor Complex had left work, and there weren't many cars parked.
He stood in the most conspicuous position.
But he was still worried that Roxanne wouldn't see him, so he kept looking at the entrance of the parking lot.
There were several entrances, and he was looking all around.
Then he heard the sound of brakes behind him.
A red Porsche drew a beautiful arc in front of him, finally making half a circle around him, and then stopped steadily in front of Harrison.
After a breeze blew by, Harrison saw Roxanne, who was holding the steering wheel, through the passenger-side window.
She gave him a sweet smile, saying, "Harrison, get in."
But Harrison frowned.
He had told her to drive carefully, but she didn't listen.
Her tail-spin drift just now was clearly reckless driving.
Seeing his frown, Roxanne thought she had made him wait for a long time and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did I keep you waiting for too long?"
Harrison got into the car, "Can't you drive a little more carefully? This is way too dangerous."
"I didn't, I was going at a normal speed."
"You're driving like a maniac and you won't even admit it." Harrison couldn't help but knock her head lightly.
She frowned, pretending to be wronged, "That hurts."
"You'll remember to drive carefully next time if it hurts."
Did she really have a problem with her driving?
If this was considered reckless, was it even more reckless for her to put a snake in Nathaniel's collar today?
Anyway, the problem was solved, and Roxanne wasn't afraid of causing more trouble for Harrison.
As she drove away after Harrison fastened his seatbelt, she told him all about how Nathaniel had threatened her and how she had fought back.
After hearing this, Harrison looked grim and his face was somewhat gloomy.
Roxanne didn't notice his anger at all.
She concentrated on driving and looked at the road conditions ahead.
"Harrison, don't worry. Nathaniel probably won't mess with us for a while. But he's a mean little bastard and he won't give up until he gets what he wants. If I can't handle him next time, you'll have to help me think of a solution."
Harrison didn't respond.
Roxanne, who was driving, glanced at him.
He looked gloomy, as if he was angry.
"What's wrong? Are you upset?" Roxanne asked.
"Do you think you're pretty capable?" His tone was not good.
Had she made him angry?
He continued, "You didn't even tell me about such a big thing."
"I'm telling you now, aren't I?"
"You only told me after everything was settled, so you think you're pretty capable, don't you?"
Although Harrison was blaming and angry, Roxanne laughed.
Roxanne laughed happily.
She moved one hand from the steering wheel and gently tugged at Harrison's arm.
"Okay, Harrison, I know you care about me and want to help me share the burden. But this problem is within my capabilities, and I can handle it, right? If I really can't handle it, I will definitely ask for your help. You're my husband, who else would I ask for help if not you? It's just that I'm used to solving problems on my own."
Harrison understood this very well.
This probably had to do with her upbringing.
She had been alone since she was a child.
She was used to being independent, or you could say she had always been toughing it out on her own.
Harrison was deeply moved.
He felt very sorry for her.
Suddenly, he wanted to hug her tightly, but she was driving and he couldn't hug her.
He held her delicate hand that was resting on his arm tightly.
Roxanne pulled her hand back, "I'm driving, let's hold hands after we get out of the car."
Harrison thought about it and felt a little scared.
His tone became much softer, "Are you really not afraid of so many snakes, aren't you afraid of being bitten?"
"I don't think there's anything to be afraid of."
"Anthony was creeped out when he saw so many snakes. You really aren't afraid."
"Who's Anthony? Did he see me catching snakes?"
Harrison frowned.
He almost slipped up, but he played it cool.
