The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 128

Would the richest woman in Seraphim Haven really go eat at a roadside food stall?

This was surprising and puzzling. Roxanne couldn't help but glance at Evelyn a few more times, confirming that she was indeed Evelyn, the wealthiest woman of Seraphim Haven, who was usually only seen in the news.

Roxanne tugged at Harrison's sleeve, leaning in and whispering in shock, "Harrison, that elegant lady over there, she looks like the richest woman in Seraphim Haven, Evelyn. She's even more graceful and gorgeous than her pictures online.”

This was so shocking.

As Roxanne was sizing up Evelyn, Evelyn had already shifted her gaze. She still had to maintain some respect for Harrison. If he didn't want to expose himself, she had to play along.

"Mm-hmm." Harrison merely responded nonchalantly.

This cold response made Roxanne tug at him once again. "Look, it's a big shot you only get to see in the news."

How strange! How come Harrison didn't seem to care?

"Harrison, if you don't look now, you might not get another chance."

Harrison thought to himself: I've watched her grow up since she was a kid, what else was there to see? He pretended to take a look, then replied indifferently, "I don't pay attention to that kind of news, so I don't recognize her."

"You don't know Evelyn?"

"Nope."

"Are you serious? She's so famous, and you don't know her."

"Evelyn graduated from college when she was 13, took over the family business at 17, and multiplied the business's market value by over forty times by the age of 25. You seriously don't know her?"

Despite Roxanne lowering her voice, her admiration for Evelyn was unmistakable. She continued, "When I read about her, I was determined to be a strong woman like her someday. But alas! My background isn't as good. I didn't even fully graduate from college. I probably won't be able to catch up to her in this lifetime. But I'll still look up to Evelyn."

Women should be like Evelyn, independent, strong, and successful. That was how to make it in society. Of course, balancing work and family life, and working hard to live a comfortable life with Harrison was also important.

Harrison looked at her and asked seriously, "Do you really admire her that much?"

"Absolutely." Roxanne couldn't help but sneak another glance at Evelyn, full of admiration. Graduated from college at 13. Took over family business at 17. Multiplied the business's value by over forty times at 25. Who wouldn't admire and respect such a successful young female tycoon at that?

Roxanne was also very ambitious, but she can't help but envy those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

The more successful people were, the harder they worked. She also wanted to work hard. But when others were blessed with better educational opportunities, she can't even solve the basic needs of life. It was really not fair to compare. Her eyes suddenly dimmed.

Sensing her mood, Harrison held her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

At that moment, their food was served.

Roxanne grabbed a lobster and started to peel it. "Even though I admire her, I feel my simple life is more down-to-earth, and I shouldn't envy others."

Harrison gently touched her nose, "Do you know how many people envy you?" Their marriage was still under wraps. Once it was revealed, there would be plenty of people envying her.

Roxanne chuckled while peeling the lobster, "Yeah, they envy me for marrying a reliable and responsible man."

One should be content. She really admired Evelyn.

After peeling a lobster, she put it in Harrison's plate and said, "Harrison, if Evelyn, who's only second to the richest person in Seraphim Haven, is so beautiful, I wonder what the richest person looks like?”

"I heard Evelyn's family and the Rodriguez family are related. Their genes wouldn't be too bad, right?" Harrison was also peeling lobster. He was faster than Roxanne. Soon he had put several pieces of lobster meat in her bowl.

While eating the lobster, Roxanne frowned. "Didn't you say you don't follow this kind of news? How do you know they're related?"

Harrison had a simple explanation. "I haven't seen Evelyn's picture online, but I've heard it on the news."

"I see."

Roxanne peeled another lobster and fed it to Harrison. Evelyn, sitting at the next table, looked surprised.

When did her Harrison become so down-to-earth? He used to frequent only high-end places and was very particular. Was this still the Harrison she knew?

Also, her Harrison and his wife were flaunting their sweetness.

Evelyn called over a waiter, "That red thing with a lot of claws, get me one of that."

She wanted to try the food her sister-in-law liked. Once Harrison made their relationship public, she could have meals and chat with her sister-in-law.

"That's called lobster."

"Alright, I'll have that."

"Excuse me, are you Evelyn?"

"Yes."

"Wow, a real celebrity. Ms. Miller, could we take a picture with you?"

Evelyn was very easygoing. She didn't put on airs because she was a celebrity. Instead, she generously took a picture with the owners of the food stall.

Roxanne sighed from afar, "That’s the life of a celebrity.."

Harrison thought to himself: Little did you know, this celebrity came specifically for you.

He asked, "Do you want to take a picture with her?"

Roxanne: "Nah, I don't want to bother her."

Harrison: "Fair enough, there will be plenty more opportunities."

Roxanne: "What did you say?"

Harrison: "Nothing, keep eating. The lobster today is excellent, very clean."

Once snobby Harrison had now grown accustomed to eating at street stalls, and he'd become quite the connoisseur when it came to lobster quality.

After taking a group photo, Evelyn sent Harrison a message: "Hey Harrison, any chance I can come up with an excuse to add your wife on WhatsApp?"

Harrison responded flatly: "No."

Evelyn: "But I really want to be friends with her, take her shopping, and buy her gifts."

Harrison: "She doesn't need anything. I can buy her whatever she needs."

Evelyn: "You're so stingy, it's not like I'm a guy."

Harrison: "Even if you were a girl, it would still be a no."

Roxanne was a hustler, always busy making money. She hardly had any free time to spare. If Evelyn started hanging out with her and shopping, what was the point of Harrison being her husband?

Roxanne, who was busy peeling a lobster, glanced up and found Evelyn looking at her. She thought she was seeing things. But a closer look confirmed that Evelyn was indeed staring at her and even waving generously. Roxanne returned the gesture with an equally generous smile.

Harrison shot Evelyn a warning look, "What are you up to?"

He was clearly nervous. He was worried Evelyn would reveal his true identity, and if Roxanne blamed him for being dishonest, she might leave him.

Seeing Harrison so anxious, Evelyn found it amusing. She finally found something that scared her Harrison. Now she had a way to get at him. But Evelyn wouldn't go too far. She approached with her phone in hand, "Hi, I've had my eye on you for a while."

Harrison's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Evelyn ignored him and continued chatting with Roxanne. "You look just like someone I know."

"Really?" Roxanne responded openly, her excitement not dampening her confidence. "Who?" Evelyn smiled. "You look so much like my sister-in-law. It's strange how two people can look so alike."

Then, Evelyn pulled out a prepared wedding photo of Harrison to show Roxanne.

"Can I have your WhatsApp contact? I'll ask my sister-in-law if she has a twin sister."

"Sure." Roxanne agreed readily.
