The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 12

"You..." Vincent was piqued for a moment, but quickly let it go. No biggie. He was waiting for Harrison to make a fool of himself. He knew that once Harrison fell for Roxanne, he would treat her like a queen.

...

At the bustling Night Fair stalls.

In front of a popular BBQ stand, Roxanne and Chloe sat facing each other.

"Anne, your favorite grilled pork belly." Chloe passed it to her, "I grilled it just for you."

"Chloe." Roxanne had no appetite for BBQ. She frowned, "Is something bothering you?"

Chloe lowered her head, her mood suddenly dropped, and even her voice lowered, "Anne, I found out about Oliver harassing you. I heard him confessing to you in the office that day..."

Roxanne was not surprised at all; she had guessed it already. Seeing Chloe this upset, she was upset too, but she couldn't find any words to comfort Chloe. Because she was the woman who made Oliver fall in love. Roxanne felt like she had done something wrong to Chloe. "Chloe, I'm sorry, I didn't know Oliver..."

After pulling herself together, Chloe raised her head again, "Anne, the one who should apologize is me. It's Oliver who harassed you and made things awkward for you."

Then she asked worriedly, "Anne, has Oliver been bothering you these days?"

Oliver, that jerk, if he can't get what he wants, he was bound to hold a grudge and seek revenge. Chloe knew him best.

"You don't need to worry about him, I have my ways to deal with him." Roxanne said guiltily, "I knew you found out about this when you were acting so strange lately, Chloe, do you really not blame me?"

Chloe was honest, "At first, I was a little upset, after all, you're my best friend, but this whole thing was Oliver's fault, his heart went astray, if it wasn't you, it would be another woman. Anne, I just want to tell you, even if I lose Oliver, I don't want to lose such a good friend like you."

"I don't want to lose a good friend like you either."

Knowing about this, Chloe didn't blame her, but instead worried about Oliver troubling her, Roxanne was touched. It was rare that Chloe didn't blame her, but instead cared about her. But she was furious, "Chloe, this kind of jerk, haven't you thought about getting a divorce?"

"If it weren't for the two kids, I would have left him long ago." Chloe said helplessly.

Thinking about the kids, Roxanne swallowed back the words of persuasion for divorce. Yes. The two kids were too innocent. And Chloe's little baby was still breastfeeding and so small.

The two friends chatted for a while. In the end, Roxanne summed up: "Chloe, don't overthink it. You've met a guy like Oliver, and you can't start over. You can only strive to change yourself and make yourself better."

"Aren't you always hoping to be the protector of Aria and Austin, letting them grow up happy? Put the pain that Oliver has caused to you aside for now, and focus on working hard and making money. Even if you do get a divorce in the future, you can show Aria and Austin a positive, strong mother who won't be easily defeated. They will be inspired by your strength and become stronger themselves. What do you think?"

Chloe nodded frequently, tears streaming down her face. "Anne, only you can comfort me and give me strength."

"Cry it out, if you're upset, cry a bit more. After crying, let's eat these, then wake up tomorrow, work hard, and make money."

"No more crying, let's eat BBQ."

After a while, Chloe calmed down. While the two ladies were enjoying their food, Oliver came over holding Austin. "Chloe, you don't come back even when the baby is crying like this, and you still have the heart to eat barbecue here. What kind of a mom are you?"

Chloe quickly took the crying Austin. He was probably hungry. She didn't care that they were in public, she sat down with her back to the crowd, lifted her top, and started breastfeeding.

During this time, Roxanne went to buy a bottle of water. When she came back, somehow Oliver had started fighting with a drunkard at the next table.

Chloe's child somehow ended up in the arms of the BBQ stand owner. And Chloe, probably worried about Oliver getting hurt, was trying to break up the fight. It was a bit chaotic, those drunk men didn't care that Chloe was a woman, and they were pushing her around.

Seeing the crowd, Roxanne feared an accident might happen. Besides, the smell of alcohol might make the fight more intense, so she quickly called Harrison. Perhaps because Harrison was her husband in name, she thought of him first when she ran into trouble. "Harrison, where are you, can you come over?" She quickly explained the situation to Harrison.

Harrison's tone was not very good, "You guys went out drinking and got into a fight? Who let you drink?"

Drinking always led to trouble. But Harrison thought it wasn't the time to blame her, he was afraid she would get into an accident, so he quickly asked, "Where are you?"

"The place where I bought you the T-shirt and sportswear at the Night Fair stall last time, Adam's BBQ Restaurant."
