The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 121

After Harrison uttered these words, every nerve in his body turned super tight.

He got all jittery and extra cautious.

His eyes were carefully scanning Roxanne's reaction.

He didn't want to miss any little twitch that might give away her thoughts about his real identity.

But it seemed like Roxanne's face didn't give much away.

No surprise, no shock.

Not even a fleeting flicker of emotion.

She just slightly furrowed her brows and lightly patted his handsome face.

"Harrison, if you really are the top dog of Seraphim Haven, we'd be so done."

"Why?" Harrison was on pins and needles.

His nerves got even more strung up.

He felt like he was on the verge of a meltdown.

Roxanne replied, "If you're the richest man of Seraphim Haven and you didn't tell me this before we got hitched, wouldn't that be just fooling around and playing me? Besides," she added seriously, "You're tall, handsome, gentle, and considerate. You even do housework and are responsible. If you're also the big shot of Seraphim Haven, you'd be a real catch that’s hard to find, just like the perfect male lead in novels. Even if you're not that perfect in real life, with just being the big shot of Seraphim Haven, there would be plenty of women who would kill to be with you."

Harrison went silent.

"With so many women fighting over the same guy, I'd feel insecure." Roxanne continued, "Plus, I don't match your social status. I'm a pretty self-aware person. I wouldn't be with someone I couldn't get, nor would I want to keep my eyes on a perfect husband all day. It'd wear me out, both physically and mentally.I just want a plain, steady life. Being a rich man's wife is way too exhausting."

Her reasons were irrefutable.

Harrison felt a sting in his heart.

He felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow.

He held Roxanne tighter, as if he was holding not his wife, not his beloved woman, but a dream that could shatter any moment.

Luckily, he only asked her if she believed he was the richest man of Seraphim Haven, not told her outright.

He quickly explained, "I was just kidding with you. How could I possibly be the richest man of Seraphim Haven? Didn't you say that the big shot would either be ugly or old?"

Feeling his tighter embrace, Roxanne ran her slender fingers over his throat.

Then, she gave a cheeky smile.

"Harrison, cracking a joke like this is such a mood killer."

Harrison was still shaken.

He held her even tighter.

She ran her fingers lightly over his throat.

"Harrison, we've wasted too much time already. Why don't we just get it on tonight?"

She started to undo the buttons on his pajama top.

One.

Another one.

His muscular chest was immediately exposed.

That chest looked strong and full of the beauty of human lines.

Roxanne gave it a playful touch, then slowly moved her hand. She first let a finger land on his heart, then pressed her whole palm against it.

Such a strong heartbeat.

It was beating so fast.

His heart was pounding against her palm again and again, as if it wanted to leap into her hand.

She became unusually tender and shy.

Then, she closed her eyes.

She lifted her slender, beautiful neck, waiting for his hot kiss.

She gently bit her red lips, waiting quietly.

Her red lips were so enticing that Harrison could hardly control his urge.

After waiting a second, another second, and another second, Roxanne still couldn't feel Harrison's gentleness, so she slowly opened her eyes.

In her bright eyes, there was a trace of confusion.

"Harrison?"

Harrison gently stroked her face, as if afraid of breaking the dream.

"Anne, you have the most beautiful and purest soul in the world, worth my lifetime to cherish."

She could only be his.

Although Harrison knew that if she found out his true identity, she might get angry, even break up with him, he was still firm.

He wanted to possess her completely.

Bending down to kiss her, his heart was filled with a strong desire to possess.

With her heart pounding, Roxanne undid the buttons on Harrison's shirt, then pulled at his shirttail, slipping his shirt down from his broad shoulders.

Her hand touched his firm chest.

The always straightforward Roxanne blushed at this moment.

"Harrison, I've never done this before. You have to be gentle with me."

"I will." Harrison passionately kissed her forehead.

In the dead of night, moonlight poured in through the window, embracing the two tightly entwined bodies.

In the air, endless tenderness lingered...

The next day was a bright and sunny day.

Even though Roxanne felt weak all over, she still got up early as usual.

When Harrison woke up, he found she was not by his side.

He quickly called out, "Anne!"

"I'm brushing my teeth," Roxanne sweetly replied.

Harrison smiled contentedly.

Her voice kicked off this lovely morning.

This morning seemed to be the most beautiful one in his 32 years.

The sunlight outside the window, the breeze, the shadows of the trees, all seemed unbelievably beautiful.

Getting up, Harrison saw a dark stain on the sheet.

It was left by Roxanne last night.

He immediately felt a mix of pity and like he had struck gold.

His Anne!

Harrison got out of bed with big strides, then went into the bathroom and lovingly embraced Roxanne, who was brushing her teeth.

Roxanne stopped brushing, "Harrison, why aren't you wearing anything? Aren't you shy?"

"What's the big deal?" Harrison held her tighter and kissed her deeply in her hair, "Which part of me hasn't been seen by you?"

"You turned off the light last night, so I didn't see anything!"

"Let me show you again."

"No! Get dressed now."

She pushed him away.

He held onto her tighter, "Can we get some more sleep?"

He said he wanted to sleep, but in reality, he wanted to do it with her again.

"No."

"I want you."

"Tonight."

"Now."

"No! After dropping you off at the Investor Complex, I have real work to do."

She pushed him away forcefully, glaring at him, "Get dressed already."

His body was just too perfect.

Despite being so skinny, his waist, stomach, and chest were covered in firm muscles.

The muscles on his legs were also tight and strong.

No wonder she was completely drained after being tossed around by him all night.

"Do I have a good figure?" Harrison smirked.

Roxanne shot him a glare, "Are you trying to seduce me? You're hot, sure, but seducing me won't work. Wait till tonight."

She continued brushing her teeth.

When Harrison tried to hold her again, she gently pushed him back with her elbow.

"Get dressed."

"You're so mean, Anne." He pretended to clutch his chest in pain.

"Alright!" After she finished brushing her teeth and dried her mouth, she patted his chest, "Hurry up and wash your face, brush your teeth, have breakfast, and get to work."
